MENDING THE GAP

ACADEMIC WORK

9An airport acts as a larger representa-tion of the idea of a non-place. There is no doubt that an airport is an actual place. However, because this space lies between two defined spaces (where you are and the location you want to be), it is perceived as a place that is weak or heterogeneous in between stronger and more homogeneous areas. How the homogenous zones interact with one another creates the in-between space.4

This examination is not only about offer-ing my design point of view on a standard typology but to ask if the way this typol-ogy has been done over and over again is it working in the sense of thoughtful series of transient space?

INVESTIGATING THE NON-PLACE:A REGIONAL AIRPORT IN BOULDER, COLORADO

advisor: Tricia Stuthyear: Fifth year, Fall + Springtime: 1 yearsize: 45,000 square feetlocation: Boulder, Colorado

A piece of architecture can be thought of as poly-territorial place. There are major zones of programs that are linked together by connecting spaces, the interstitial zones1. They often become left-over spaces.2

This is the in-between space. A place full of interrelations where the zone acts as a threshold between major spatial programs. The in-between space belongs to both, and therefore, it is part of both.3

The importance of these non-places stems from allowing one to appropriate and associate to a territory in their own way, that in turn, forms their identity of the space4.

Boulder, CO has a strong regional identi-ty that could transfer its strength of place to a that space which is often heteroge-neous. The airport could easily connect to its surroundings because Boulder provides an inescapable sense of place through views, urban connection nodes, and its occupants.

There are several interrelated themes at play: producing a formal response based on the psychology of those in transition, using the airport typology to represent the identity of place, and extrapolating sense of identity of place by incorporat-ing new program that involves the com-munity in order to enhance the sense of place.

The process of making the final boards was an incredibly enjoyable, yet nerve-racking experience. The term happy-mistake comes to mind dur-ing the final two weeks of production as watercolor is all-revealing. Any mistake made is unerasable, there is no CTRL-Z button, and certainly no photoshopping to enhance the image.

By the end of the process, there were five boards that created a dance between plan, section, and elevation to make an over-all understandable composition.

7zones, solid zones, and a main circula-tion route.

Several ideas were implemented in the design in order to reach net-zero. There are two evaporative cooling towers that provide stack and cross ventilation. The roof system is composed of mono-pitched roofs to allow light to come in the spaces. Within this system are con-crete louvers that help diffuse the light before it reaches the main space. This allows for natural lighting, but detracts from solar heat gain in the process. Since shade doesnt exist on our site, it had to be made. Deep overhangs create shade amongst the site for comfort. Garage doors allow for natural ventilation.

ROOSEVELT ROWS NET-ZERO BREWERY:THE PHOENICIAN BREWHAUS

advisor: Mark DeKayyear: Fifth year, Falltime: 8 weeks size: 15,000 square feetlocation: Phoenix, Arizona

Within the city of Phoenix, there is a small art district located just a little over a mile away from downtown. This art district, known as Roosevelt Row (RoRo) possesses a charming character that adds personality to the city. It also is one of the main projects for the rede-velopment of Phoenixs master plan.

Our goal was to enhance the area by tak-ing into consideration the goals already set out by the city council for the rede-sign of this area and produces a design that is not only net-zero, but also adds to the character of the district.

The design responds by taking in sev-eral ideas about the site and its forces. These provide several zones within the site: open zones, semi-transparent

[Left] Vignette of the beer garden at night It was important that the beer garden be a very sociable space. Basic components of successful beer garden space such as tree groves, benches, and lights were important to consider in the layout.

[Right] Vignette of the beer hall at nightIn order for there to be plenty of activity and movement within the beer hall, it was im-portant that there be several ideas of spatial quality incorporated into the design. Alcoves for activities such as darts and pool provide seating to the main beer hall level. The beer hall then transitions into the beer garden through garage doors.

MENDING THE GAP: CRACOVIA SQUARE

Winner of the Pella Prize International Design Competition

advisor: Bartek Hominski year: Fourth year, Springtime: 10 weeks size: 150,000 square feetlocation: Krakow, Poland

The history of Krakow can be seen through its composition of concentric rings that make up the city. Each ring is composed of a period of history that is now physically bound by its perimeter. The two most defined rings are that of the medieval city center and the generation that followed. A third ring is now in the process of being formed that contains architecture and parks that have just recently been built. The first two sets of rings are very well defined by their borders. However, the third ring is lacking some rigidity in some areas, mainly in area defined by Bonia Park. The strength this part of town is sup-posed to provide for Krakow is falling short of its purpose.

This site currently faces many

challenges. It needs something that frames it and provides boundaries. Its only boundaries are a historic hotel that is out of business and a museum that is usually desolate. These two pieces of architecture have no relation to one another, and therefore the space in between is lost. The only strength the current site layout has is the Cracovia Soccer Stadium that provides a modern piece of architecture that adds definition to the triangular site.

It is very clear that this project needs to do several things: provide a strong gateway to the park, provide a filter from busy street to peaceful park, and provide a public space in which people actually occupy the space to give the site a sense of liveliness.

This park is supposed to represent a gateway to the city and connects views of very impor-tant landmarks within the city to one another. The projected building and site design pro-vides a strong gateway to the park, provide a filter from busy street to peaceful park, and provide a public space in which people actu-ally occupy the space to give the site a sense of liveliness.

The form of a square with a horizontal form slicing through provides a more defined pub-lic space that enhances a connection with the adjacent museum, there is now a literal space for which people to occupy. Water features provide white noise to block out the sound of the bustling traffic. Within the program, there are restaurants located on the main floor that provide places of staying powerthat is pro-gram that makes people sit out side for long periods of time and to make the space busier.

THE LEED PLATINUM WORKPLACE:LEAP COLLABORATIVE

advisor: Bill Martellayear: Fourth year, Falltime: 16 weeks size: 50,000 square feetlocation: Knoxville, Tennessee

The client, LEAP Collaborative, is a progressive stainability consulting firm. Their services include leadership in environmental design strategies and performance analysis and design devel-opment of building systems.

This project description lead to the driv-ing force behind the design of the new LEAP Collaborative headquarters. With a major emphasis on green design, this project has earned a LEED Platinum rating with major emphasis on sustain-able efforts in design. Not only was be-ing green the driving force behind many parts of the design, but also an effort to make an enjoyable space for both the client and the occupants of the building.

The space within the project was

designed for the enjoyment of the oc-cupants-- smaller spans for better day-lighting and views to the outside, gener-ous floor to ceiling heights, and a major outdoor space that provides both a re-laxing and vibrant space for all that en-counter the project.

There was also an emphasis on making a relation to surrounding buildings while still allowing the project to have its own personality in downtown Knoxville. Not only does the louvered facade add visual interest to the project, but it also serves functionally as well.

The project is energy efficient, it is a facility that is distinctive, and the land-scape amenity is a major component of the design proposal.

Office spaces became tributary spaces to the corridor in order to take advantage of the day lighting and views to the outdoors.

[Right] Vignette of the main entrance and lobby spaceThe design featured a major atrium space that visually connected all of the floors together. It provided a natural progression to subsequent floors. The volumetric space was contained by the core piece.
