Situated in the heart of downtown Knoxville, the Knoxville Market Hall and Cu-linary Institute is intended to become a resource for the community and stand as an institution within the existing urban fabric. The program pays homage to traditional southern agriculture and farmers’ market. The Market Hall is de-fined by four pieces of a program: Market Hall, Culinary Institute, Chamber of Commerce, and subterranean parking. Built on the existing site of a park, a sculpture garden was added to the program to accommodate the need to rethink and relocate the green community space in downtown. The design of the Knoxville Market Hall is to be a flexible, multi-use, 24/7 space for the com-munity broken into 12 modular markets that will be rented out to local tenants. The solution as a whole allows for the exterior spaces to blend with the build-ing’s program in order to form a new public landmark within the city’s historic urban fabric while providing locally grown produce and goods to Knoxville.

Located directly adjacent to Trajan’s Column along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the Museo dei Fori Imperiali extension provides a new home for the artifacts of the Roman Forum. The museum extension is a terraced public plaza with exhibition space beneath the plaza at the level of the Roman Forum. An existing structure and storage space currently exist on the site dating back to the 1930s when Ben-ito Mussolini first began excavation of the Roman Forum but has since seen little use. In direct proximity of the site are monuments such as the Victor Emmanuel Monument, the Roman Forum, Trajan’s Column, the Coliseum, and the Campi-dologio. The challenge of this design is to provide the city a space that respects and gives homage to the Forum while allowing intimate interaction with the ruins.

The goal of the South Bank Waterfront, located in the southern area of down-town Knoxville, TN is to densify growth while introducing a vibrant community atmosphere. By integrating mixed uses such as office, retail, housing, schools, churches, museums, and transportation the South Waterfront will become a bustling area that draws residents to take advantage of the prime location on the Tennessee River. In recent decades the riverfront has all but been forgot-ten in city development and is in a state of ruin. The three mile South Bank Waterfront is a new addition to the urban fabric which looks to provide a vast mix of uses to attract user groups from the entirety of Knoxville. The site is split into nodes, which are capped by cultural and communal spaces. The challenge of the site is to create program and spaces to attract a wide vari-ety of users while also providing comfortable riverfront living for inhabitants.

TOPOGRAPHY DIVIDE LIGHTING PLAZA

Working within the framework of the South Bank Waterfront master plan, the River Row Homes provide dense urban living within 50 ft. of the Tennessee River. Located on the southern stretch of the master plan, the row homes have views towards the UTK campus and immediate access to the river promenade. A stretch of River Row Homes consists of 8 different units ranging from 2,220 sq. ft., 3 Br, 2 B to a 1300 sq. ft., 1 Br ,1 B. Each stretch is built into the landscape to minimize impact on the riverfront while keeping a low profile along the shore. To ensure that each home has adequate lighting, interior courtyards are inscribed into each floor plan. Screens are attached to the front of the homes to block lighting but also provide privacy from the river promenade. The design looks to engage the river while maintaining dense and comfortable living standards.

Since the introduction of the automobile urbanism has drastically changed from it’s traditional criteria due to speed and travel. Relocation away from city center has led to a disjointed, inefficient and stratified city. Built form occurs with no regulation and engulfs the identity of the individual anchor cities. The Triangle, defined by the cities of Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh, is at risk of losing its historical identity under this growing urban landscape. A shareway that utilize light and commuter rail, bus systems, car share and bike share will spark new in-teraction. On the edge of downtown Raleigh exist a scar defined by 4 converging rail lines. The scar reflects the disconnect between the triangle but also the nearby neighborhoods. Can this site stand as an institution within the city and spark new social interaction formed around infrastructure?

Architecture has the ability to strengthen community bonds, support a healthy life style, and promote awareness. The Red Bird Water Kiosk seeks to achieve all three of these in Clay County, KY. Located on the existing Red Bird Missions campus, the Water Kiosk will provide city water to the inhabitants of Beverly who do not have access to clean water. The structure will also provide a new home for the Beverly farmers’ market to support local farmers and craftsmen. Jobs are few and far between in Clay County and a farmers’ market will help sup-port families. It will also serve as the social aspect of a “watering hole”, a place to see neighbors and enjoy conversation while waiting for your water. The de-sign aims to set a precedent of clean water in Appalachia with a simple design that allows for expansion and a modularity that can be built in similar hollers.

The Global Friendship House on Old Dominon’s campus serves as commu-nal gathering space for international students as well as providing housing. Public exterior spaces create a transparency between the campus and interior. The goal is to display the many nationalities attending ODU in order to as-similate international students with the greater student body. I prepared ren-dering package after design had been completed to strengthen the project for award submissions. This sectional perspective highlights the central gathering space for residence that blends with the public street and semi-private garden.

The proposed design for the Gladding Residence at Virginia Commonwealth University fosters a residence life culture that encourages student interaction on both the individual and a larger collective scale, accommodates a large number of students comfortably, and reflects the university campus culture. Additionally, the design respects the existing campus context by incorporating the historic Bath House as an exhibition space and provides programmatic space for retail on a key street frontage. The new resident hall stands as a collector space for social interaction in the several public plazas and a filter for students as they move through the cam-pus landscape. Working within the new master plan for VCU, the Gladding Residence looks to provide a new nexus point for student life on campus.
