AGGREGATION of folding planes:
The Fontana Dam Hiking Lodge was designed after the experimentation of mulitiple techniques of mass aggregation. The primary goal of this project was to design a hiking lodge developed from a system of organization that coordinates building mass and landscaping manipulation strategies. The is project utilizes pinching folded planes to define programmatic volumes. These folded planes overlap to build internal and external spaces; a representation of the surrounding jagged terrain.

This addition to Richard Mier’s Smith House, located on Long Island Sound in Darien, Connecticut, is an independent studio separated from the house. While the studio was designed with similar proportions and spacial configurations of the house, it does obtain its own identity. The addition is characterized by a dynamic volume created by two rectangles equally offset and protruding into the exterior.
On the approach to the studio one receives a taste of the view to come, partially blocked by a portion of the building. A continous ribbon of circulation extends from the entry, to the second floor office space, and across a catwalk which leads to balcony and up to the roof garden. The catwalk acts as a visual separation between the entry/ gallery space and the open glass studio space. Each point along one’s journey provides a spectatular view of the sound from the comfort of this studio atelleri.

SURFACING of structure:
Death Valley Resort is located in the hottest environment in the United States. It provides a safe haven for outdoor enthusiasts, drawing visitors closer to the environment that captivates them. The form of the resort acknowledge’s the ecosystem, geology, and climate with building mass that coincides with the buildup and weaving of the dunes in surrounding valleys. The curvature of the buildings passively allows wind to cool the complex.

This project was a brief, two week long charrette to design a bridge flexible to the context of multiple environments. This bridge is constructed by an aggregate of spacial components which can be globally manipulated by the conditions of its environment. Each unit, a parallel tandom of square planes, creates a field that can become activated by specific programs to build solidities, transparencies, and intermediary spaces.

This transit-oriented development would offer Nashville a mixed-use neighborhood which includes retail, apartments, townhomes, office buildings, and two new parks. The scheme supports the strong axis of the rail line while negotiating between the existing street grids of the northeast and southeast neighborhoods. It also recognizes and supports two existing student housing communities in its immediate proximity. Railroad crossings link streets from the northeastern neighbor-hood into the development as a way to provide easy access to the light rail transit stop and other amenities such as new shops, restaurants, and the two new parks.
The light rail transit stop is centered within the development, easily within walking distance of all residents in the neighbor-hood. On the north side of the track a new early learning center provides an amenity to the entire area. On the opposite side of the tracks the transit stop opens up to a hub of new shops, restaurants, and a series of courtyards that led to a wooded park and grassland. Townhomes line along the railroad, provid-ing a scale appropriate to the pedestrian friendly greenway that would extend from the river and along the rail line into the development. Apartments also occupy the same block, wrapping a low parking garage with a green roof which supplies both parking needs and a quiet landscape to each block. Office buildings stand across the street allowing residents to live in close proximity to their jobs.
A round-about on one side of the development organizes three primary streets; the main axis through the entire development, a linking street to the northeastern neighborhood, and the extended 26th Avenue North which continues southeast to Jefferson Street. On the opposite side of the development a small triangular park provides a capstone to the main axis street through the neighborhood.

The 18h Street Arts Center has expressed an interest to recreate their campus. The proposed plan provides for more live/ work units while opening their campus to the public, the center’s primary source of funding. The plan supports a new courtyard to invite the public into the site, and a cafe allows them to enjoy the courtyard. Public programs center the site, while live/ work units balance each side. The design includes a bridge that easily allows its residents and the public to access a roof top garden. The glass facade wraps new and existing buildings, creating a singular rhythm that reflects the vegetation in the courtyard, a rare patch of greenery in Santa Monica. A new light-rail transit station by the site will more easy allow the public to visit for exhibitions.

EXPANSION of the Urban Fabric:
section
second floor plan
Along NYC’s Hudson River, this intermodal transportation hub facilitates a variety of circulation routes by expanding the city’s edge, negotiating between the border of a highly urban context and the serenity of the ferry traffic along the Hudson River. Overlapping park/ landscaping and building conditions transform traffic paths along one of the city’s busiest routes and converge those routes into a centralized space from which other means of transportation can be accessed.

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEEDESIGN STUDIO: M_ARCH FALL 2014PROFESSOR: WILLIAM MARTELLAPARTNER: CASEY KUNTZ
LEAP Collaborative is a progressive, sustainability consulting firm with 90 employees looking to relocate to Knoxville, Tennessee. This multidisciplinary group of mechanical engineers, architects, landscape architects, and other environmental specialists work as consultants to architects, owners, engineers on a wide variety of environmental-minded building projects.
A main goal of this project is to help market LEAP’s sustainable agenda. In addition to on-site water recycling, the building is clad with local Tennessee marble, a resource Knoxville is historically well-known for producing. The landscape also makes use of the local material, drawing its influence from nearby quarries, it serves as a source of local pride, education, and motivation for the public to visit abandon quarries which now serve as city parks.
There are two primary site conditions that influence the project’s design. The low-rise building footprint is much smaller than the site, allowing for implementation of a public courtyard that supports the required program of a cafe and retail. The site is also very unique because its irregular shape has two street fronts, stretching around a corner building and presenting the possibility of allowing pedestrian traffic to cross through the block. The design responds with a breezway that slices through the building. A glass box appears to move through the solidity of the building, creating an atrium and representing the circulation through the breezeway.
