project directive was to design an incubator office with shared community services and ground floor retail between two of Boston’s most distinct neighborhoods of Bulfinch’s Triangle and the north end. special emphasis was placed upon environmental consideration, utilizing both passive and active systems.
my partner and i took the project from research, massing concepts, to a fully fleshed out design. My primary role was in drafting, graphics, and final presentation.

Fall 2010 - archiTecTural seminar Final project was to take an existing architectural project and through a single drawing showcase unique aspects of the project. after constructing this isometric of Carlo Scarpa’s Querini Stampalia Foundation in venice, italy, i used different layers of colors to show effects of water, the running datum, and elevation throughout the space.
in addition to my design work in architecture, I’m also an avid illustrator, taking my skills in illustration and photoshop and applying them to architectural sketches and art. While many of these are personal works, they do represent my eye for color and design and passion for many different types of media.

spring 2010 – herculaneum
Team : amanda carr, drew cunningham, megan cusack, sarah cushing, christine greene, Kelsey holmes, and magdalena Kukulska
While in rome, our study abroad had the unique opportunity to visit the archeological site of herculaneum, near naples. We met with the archeologists at the site, as well as city leaders and participated in a design charrette to find ways to improve both local community access as well as tourist connections to the site.
as a team, we constructed a multi-year plan to facilitate the goals of education, environmentalism, and tourism.
my role of the team was primarily graphic, being the editor in chief with the final drawings and presentations which would ultimately be published and viewed on site and in local publications.

The Comnuity Center opens up onto Via Mare, Corso Resina, and offers great views to the site. The Res-idents will use this space for communtiy functions, putting on shows, and a day care center.Il Centro Comnuity apre su Via Mare, Corso Resina, e offre una splendida vista sul sito.

The proposed pathway cantilevered along the edge of the archialogical site creates a secondary pedestrain road, helping to alievate the dangerous congestion of Via Mare. The two lookout points break the through the wall connecting the pathway with Via Mare, and provide places to pause and view the site, while learning about the site from informational plaques at each location. Il percorso proposto a sbalzo lungo il bordo del sito archialogical crea una strada pe-donale secondario, contribuendo a alievate la congestione pericolosa di Via Mare.

during our charrette, i was responsible for taking the raw models as my teammates created them and turn them into representations of our plans for the site using photoshop in a very short amount of time.

Integrated Building Systems - Spring 2012Reading Summary and Response
Reading 3: Tower Architecture - From Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice
Prompt: For Abalos, the evolution of the office building in the post-war period generated ever changing iterations of the relationships between major systems of the building [e.g., structure, skin, HVAC, electrical, communications, lighting], and major building components [the aggregate of systems, e.g., floors, cores, building enclosure]. For Abalos, the Lever House 1952 by SOM represents the starting point of this evolutionary trajectory and Norman Foster’s Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Building 1986 represents the apogee. Characterize this evolution in terms of building systems and components.
As technology and building systems have evolved and expanded, so to has the need to accommodate these advances within contemporary structures. The appeal of the ceiling, and later floor, as vehicles to spread mechanical systems throughout the structure took hold. These spaces ceased to be solid, instead there were a structural web that not only made the building stand - they also made the building function. As these horizontal systems populated the “in between” spaces in order to liberate the served spaces, so to did the vertical elements condense to a spinal column in the form of the core. Computers culturally created a demand to bring services not only to singular locations but also to movable workstations. Electrical and telecommunications moved underneath the floors. Further innovations showed that other services such as air could also migrate between floor or ceiling. The twentieth century was largely dedicated to segregating these spaces while making them all the more perverse throughout a building, filling in the gaps of structure with all the necessities of having the inside environment of a building be completely independent of the outside environment. However, with increased environmental awareness the need for these service spaces may recede, for more integrated and passive solutions.
