URBAN REGENERATION >>E WASTE RECYCLING

Located in the post industrial neighborhood of the inner harbor, the si ng of the center a empts to reclaim a large abandoned warehouse which has sat empty for years on in its loca on in the inner har-bor. The square footage requirements of the project cut through the exis ng structures juxtaposing new and old in a kind of symbio c rela onship. The building also accommodates mul ple use entrances for those arriving by foot, car or truck. The recycling centers inten on is to not only recycle hazardous computer and electronic parts, but also engage the surrounding community by hiring local worker and providing educa onal opportuni es for those who visit and work there. Furthermore the center also aims to shi views on consumer electronics from that of extreme and frequent consump on to a kind of (De)-consump on which a empts to recycle and update currently owned consumer electronics rather than simply throwing something away.

SYRACUSE WESTSIDE MULTIPLEX PROGRAM: LIBRARY, POOL, GYM, AUDITORIUM, DAY CARE, PUBLIC RECREATION SPACE. This mul -use project proposed for the Syracuse Westside combines a myriad of func ons in order to densify a currently disengaged neighborhood. The complexity of the combined programs is resolved by an addi ve process of a aching various programma c needs about a central elevated “library bar” around which media auditoriums, gyms, day care and other programs are collided. Below the elevated structure is a space for semi-enclosed public pool and public surface which includes sports fi elds, vending areas and bus stops.

THE ELEVATED BARThe elevated library bar is contaminated with juxtaposed programma c elements which combine spaces and house all various programs within one varied space.

Math- students who excel in mathematics will be able to nurture their talents at the new Syracuse center for math and science located in the westside.

Writing- Through collaboration with the Syracuse University Newhouse school of journalism, the city has developed a high school which develops writing and journalism skills for teens, preparing them for college and future careers in the field of journalism.

Science- By developing critical science skills at an early age our children will develop a passion for the field at an early age.

Arts- For those will natural talent for the arts, they have a place for their creativity to grow. Housing a performing arts school and visual arts school, children will be able to express Themselves in new and unprecedented ways.

Syracuse Education Reform InitiativeSpecialized Education for the Future- Let education free.

The Syracuse Education reform initiative seeks to break from traditional education structures and create a vocationalized landscape of learning. Students will chose from an early age what they want to study and focus their education to that specialty. No longer will our children fall through our educational cracks because of unfocused educational systems. Through collaboration with the city and Syracuse University, Syracuse will become a testing bed for a revolutionary way of teaching and learning. Our schools are already underfunded and in miserable conditions, we must make a change to the system or risk losing quality education for our children.

COOKING_Community kitchens are designed as modular components which fit into

the larger space. These kitchenettes are equipment with ranges, dish-

washers, sinks and ovens for the creation of proper meals. Furthermore to

facilitate sharing of recipes and ideas each unit has embedded cameras

and monitor to display the action of cooking to friends, passersby or others

interested in what is being prepared.

RETAIL_

The grain retail space is organized around a field of suspended grain

dispensers. This grain library allows for quick access to larger amounts

of grain for preparation either in the Food center or at home. The Retail

space becomes a display of a diversity of grain species which otherwise

would not be exposed to urban communities.

STORAGEThe grain storage component requires a vast amount of space to house emergency grain for all of Syracuse. The storage space is realized as a sunken root cellar which creates a roof garden above for the site. Users can look down onto the grain storage containers while using the above park

Each container is able to be quickly removed and distributed to communities quickly an efficiently. Legs allow the container to stand and dispense grain easily.

EATING_Suspended Field of tables allows accommodates varying heights and use. The tables can be retracted to the ceiling grid structure to provide open space for larger food events.

EXISTING DUPLEX:Over-under confi gura on- 1 unit per fl oor. Sta c compartmentalized spaces, upstairs unit has no access to ground, Challenge: How do we make units with func onal, beau ful spaces without breaking our budget?

615OTISCO ST.The rehabilita on of 615 O sco street in Syracuse’s Near West-Side has been an ongoing project I have been involved in since Summer 2010. The project is a collabora on between Home Headquarters, VIP Structures and Syracuse University. We have just completed construc on document phase and are slated for construc on for Fall 2011.

PROPOSED DUPLEX:The interlocking duplex confi gura on creates two diff erent sized units within the exis ng shell of the house. This scheme allows for each unit to gain ground fl oor access and street frontage

PROPOSED DUPLEX:In the middle of the plan the 2nd fl oor is cut out to create a double height living space around the two unit’s respec ve dining areas.

All design work done in collabora on with Guillermo De La Parra Laita, Kaite Lynn Carroll under the guidance of Tim Stenson and Fred Stelle for the SU SOA Design Build Studio. All drawings done by Mark Shahlamian.

EXISTINGThe exis ng house stacks two units one on top one on the bo om. Living was on the East side of the house while bedrooms were on the West. The exterior had a variety of porches seemingly added over it’s long history. Our scheme proposes a series of excava ons on the house stripping the exterior to its pure shell. A new porch is then carved out at the entry into this shell crea ng a new polycarbonate clad ves bule. Inside an 8 foot chunk of fl oor will be removed from the 2nd fl oor in each unit crea ng a double height “living well.”

2ND FLOOR PLAN1ST FLOOR PLAN

PROPOSEDThe interior confi gura ons are kept as open as possible. Maximum, fl exible living space with the double height spaces crea ng a kind of three dimensional living room where dining, cooking, reading etc, can happen on the 1st fl oor and 2nd fl oor mezzanine level. Skylights bring natural light and ven la on into this space. We actually remove usable fl oor space out of the house to create, instead, a beau ful void. The services on the 1st fl oor living space (Stairs, closets, powder rooms, pantries, kitchens) are all organized along a 3 foot space along the central load bearing wall of the house. This allows for each unit to have maximum open space along the length of the house for living.
