T R A N S F I XMilwaukee Public School System

M I L W A U K E E

The commodity of green space to the community in an urban setting is invaluable.

Proposing a K-8 Public School to take up precious square footage in one of a communities most valued spaces requires not only diligence, but deliberation. For not only the features of the site, but also the program of the park must be care-fully orchestrated into the com-munity, school system, and larger society.

Statistically it doesnt take long to realize change will be essential in Milwaukees educa-tional system in order to compete in a global climate.

After researching historic educational re-forms of the past, along with contemporary philosophy on the future of education, every-thing seems to point to an in-balancein educational dualities.When drawing parallels from education today to the philosophical dualities of Plato & Aristotle, voids in our contemporary system become to emerge.

Education today tends to focus on the

Aristotelian spectrum focusing on ethics, wisdom, & conformity. The curricu-lum is designed to promote knowledge ow from the teacher to students. This traditional curriculum has left void the more

Palatian forms of education in which are needed to inspire many of todays children towards success.

Education through individual enlightenment, contemplation, inspiration, and creativity have been occurring in schools but are often over-looked, and undervalued. Through promoting grade level integration, personal goal setting, progression & growth as well as embracing daily encounters between students, the built environment can trans x this old philosophy back into the educational system.

The diagram to the left has broken up our assigned program for the school into SF requirements. The program was then best placed on a spectrum between what I felt had the potential to contribute most toObjective Education (Traditional Pala-tian Philosophy) and Subjective Education (Aristotelian Philosophy). This allowed me to determine the program which was most crucial for inducing subjective education back into the public school system.

These dualities of education & program remained constant in the progression of my study models and culminating in my nal design.

In my conclusion I determined these two phi-losophies must not remain separate entities but must work together in symbiosisto re-establish a balance long lost in the todays educational system.

Although the subjective steel & glass shard has its own identity which appears to be piercing the conformity of the objective, it is structurally and metaphorically dependent on the objectives concrete bearing walls. Just as the bearing walls containing the classrooms are dependent on the glass shard for circulation, light & integration.

The central commons area serves as the intersection of all axis of the site operating as the heart of not only the school, but the surrounding community.

The community of the pre existing park is meant to not only be maintained but strengthened through the splice of the courtyard, where community events can ow from the outdoors into the commons area among terraced vegetable gardens.

The layout of the classrooms were carefully handled in order to allow for cross-grade integration while still maintaining order and separation in more tradi-tional learning environments.

There is a sense of progression and visual connec-tion for the younger grade levels to look forward and move up. The grade levels subtly increase along with the natural slope of the park, culminating in the cen-tral commons area which integrates all grade levels, school functions and the larger community.

R E C R E A T Ea Lost Tectonic Language

Milwaukee Public Library mass plane frame translation Pro ling Analysis

Analyzing the Milwaukee Public Library, a Beaux Arts building from 1895.

Sitting on a massive plinth, the library is elevated above surround-ing buildings. Immediately as you enter you pass through the dense framework of columns into the central rotunda. The columns force your attention upward toward the giant dome.

The librarys Rotunda remains the single most intact feature from its original design. After several modi -cations and additions to the library, its tectonic language has been lost. Sitting behind locked doors, and blocked up windows is a tectonic language experienced through the play of light through its planes and frames which I attempted to recre-ate in a series of tectonic models.

A L I E N A T I O Nof an Indian Culture

An Urban Analysis of Chandigarh, India

During a study-abroad in India I had the opportunity to study in Le Corbusiars Chandigarh with a group of Indian archi-tecture students.

After multiple visits to the High Court Complex and many of the sectors of the city something seemed inapt.

Le Corbusiars Hand of Chandigarh, which was meant to symbolize peace and harmony has cast a dark shadow over a city which was once promised to modernize India.

The squatter settlements , which are such an important characteristic to Indias culture , were not taken into account in the master plan for this New Indian City.

These settlements are continu-ally pushed to the periphery of the city where hunger, poverty and despair are much more prevalent compared to the other more diverse and integrated cities of India. While at the organized center of the city, citizens are living in an idealized Westernized world which has omitted so much of what India truly is.

Through serving as the Campus Sustainability Coordinator and Vice Presi-dent of the Emerging Green Builders, I had the opportunity to work with an individual in the community with a vision to establish an urban food village on 6600 West Lisbon Ave. in Milwaukee. The program called for an aquaponics building in a vacant switching house along with market space, gardens, and a wellness and re-skilling building. The objective of the project was to reunite two previously split communities and rede ne the idea of local food production in an urban setting.

P E R I P H E R A LDe ning a new Tectonic Language

In order to translate the qualities of the 500 year old Palace in Agra, India into an application more relevant today, I analyzed the palace tec-tonically to create a new language which would grow from just a digital fragment to a city scale.

The richest spatial qualities I found in the palace were the varying degrees of enclosure which created degrees of privacy, climactic conditions, and the surrounding context.

Using a peripheral organizational strategy, I designed a digital fragment to translate the fundamental mass, plane and frame.

From this fragment we extended our tectonic language into an organizational matrix and were given a scale along with program and existing context. We were to design an urban campus extending our established language and using peripheral and linear organizational strategies while maintaining the tectonic qualities of mass, plane and frame.

In order to physically and visually link the cam-pus, I used linear lawns connecting the cam-puss major program. These grass promenades establish hierarchy and create a framework for unseen future development. The linear circula-tion through the buildings are broken up by partion walls, forcing orientation down the campuss intersecting promenades.

Working with UWMs Campus Sustainability Coordinator as our client and the UWM Food & Garden Club I led a research-design-build team to complete a multi-phase project for urban gardens on campus. Based on a solar analysis done in collaboration with the GIS club, the site for the garden sits adjacent to the Sandburg Dorms. The site currently has 2700 students looking down on or walking through it on a weekly basis.

With todays corporate dependence on food, we decided the primary ob-jective of this project should be to initiate interest into students in produc-ing their own source of food. This project will also paint a more sustainable picture for UWM and provide access to fresh, locally grown food for all.

In order to get students to engage with the garden, we seen the trail run-ning through the site as an opportunity to spark interest.

By building a Pergola with benches, and garden plots on either side, it serves as a destination point for people on the trail and is a portal for the garden.

With the sloped site, terracing of the plots was required, which has also helped mitigate storm water from entering the sewers. The garden con-tains public plots along with 750 SF of gardens for Sandburg Food Opera-tions, which is using their produce in the cafeteria.

Proposal for Handicap Entrace for a Catholic Church in Easton, MN

Catholic Church attendance has been in decline as a new generation grows and an old one falls. Mass is limited to those who can withstand the 14 front steps in Eastons only Catholic church.

This proposal not only creates a new entry for the elderly, but also creates a more embracing and transparent entry for anyone new.

The addition of a door to the north tow-er of the church causes the displacement of a stained glass window. This window, along with the salvaged brick would be used to create a sculptural bench which embraces the new entry, while compli-menting the front facade.
