    Development for this model began with the analysis and self-study of natu-ral reading postures for a library program. Beginning with a single posture and gradually expanding the program to include others, this model took on the form of the initial reader. The model is meant to represent a library space that is mostly enclosed and private, but that utilizes various degrees of direct and indirect natural lighting for the readers comfort.

  • The form of this aggregate space was characterized by the reading en-vironment models of a four-student group. Each student was required to use four thematic descriptors in the development of their aggregate. These stemmed from themes found in the four individual reading environments.

    INTENTThe Chicago Historic Preservation Research Institute is driven by the desire to combine a variety of relatable typologies into a collaborative center located in a re-emerging area of the City of Chicago, River North. This architectural project strives to respect the urban fabric of this city, specifically the Tribune Tower, and in this way places the architecture of Chicagos past at the forefront, whether built, unbuilt, or destroyed. This collaborations mission is to raise awareness of the curation and care for history and to allow for exploration and discovery of the archival process.

    PRECEDENTFormal precedent is drawn from both the surrounding urban site and suc-cessful historic preservation design interventions. The recessed glass faade treatments throughout and the glass floor treatment at East Illinois Alley stem from existing Gothic detail on the Tribune Towers west front. Focal points of the site, such as the existing lower parking lot and the Wrigley Building corridor, are reflected and emphasized in the new design.

    PROGRAMThough the buildings tenants technically determine program, the success of the complex is based on specific existing and created city entities. The Chicago Architecture Foundation will be relocated to the southernmost building on the site, utilizing the riverfront to centralize their tour departure. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago would occupy the northeast corner and much of the basement by relocating its archival collections and expanding them. The glass-walled ramp at the entrance to the site will include rotated artifact displays visible from the exterior.

    The southeast corner of the site will include laboratory space for document and architectural conservation. The northern portion will be programmed as The Chicago Architecture Museum, with gallery space for exhibitions and collections. The circular Tribune Tower wrap is meant to be an interactive portion of the museum which allows the users to see a 360 augmented reality display that presents historic structures surrounding the site throughout the course of history with the use of smart glass projection technology.course of history with the use of smart glass projection technology.

    INTENTThe Chicago Historic Preservation Research Institute is driven by the desire to combine a variety of relatable typologies into a collaborative center located in a re-emerging area of the City of Chicago, River North. This architectural project strives to respect the urban fabric of this city, specifically the Tribune Tower, and in this way places the architecture of Chicagos past at the forefront, whether built, unbuilt, or destroyed. This collaborations mission is to raise awareness of the curation and care for history and to allow for exploration and discovery of the archival process.

    PRECEDENTFormal precedent is drawn from both the surrounding urban site and suc-cessful historic preservation design interventions. The recessed glass faade treatments throughout and the glass floor treatment at East Illinois Alley stem from existing Gothic detail on the Tribune Towers west front. Focal points of the site, such as the existing lower parking lot and the Wrigley Building corridor, are reflected and emphasized in the new design.

    PROGRAMThough the buildings tenants technically determine program, the success of the complex is based on specific existing and created city entities. The Chicago Architecture Foundation will be relocated to the southernmost building on the site, utilizing the riverfront to centralize their tour departure. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago would occupy the northeast corner and much of the basement by relocating its archival collections and expanding them. The glass-walled ramp at the entrance to the site will include rotated artifact displays visible from the exterior.

    The southeast corner of the site will include laboratory space for document and architectural conservation. The northern portion will be programmed as The Chicago Architecture Museum, with gallery space for exhibitions and collections. The circular Tribune Tower wrap is meant to be an interactive portion of the museum which allows the users to see a 360 augmented reality display that presents historic structures surrounding the site throughout the course of history with the use of smart glass projection technology.course of history with the use of smart glass projection technology.

    Schematic atmospheric lighting design served as a personal introduction to the field of architectural lighting. Weiss/Manfredis Cornell NYC Tech involves a strategy for utilizing fritted glass to allow the structure to glow. This was diagrammatically presented by overlaying architectural drawings with a yellow palatte, which emphasized the areas that would be highlight-ed by electric lighting elements.

    Construction details, particularly indirect lighting fixture placement, was crucial in creating an open, spacious, uncluttered quality in the public spac-es of Richard Meiers Surf Club. Ceiling and wall details were refined by accounting for fixture beamspreads, sizes, and outputs, and wall materials.

    renfro design group - new york, nyThe rapidly evolving LED lighting field requires frequent testing and colla-tion to maintain an understanding of appropriate product application. This mock-up juxtaposed (7) LED and (2) halogen PAR38 lamps with compa-rable beamspreads and equivalent color temperatures. Output, intensity, color rendering, and cost were measured and provided to determine the correct lamps for employement in varying architecutral typologies.

  • This rehabilitation project of an unused stretch of the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) involves a number neighborhoods in Queens that are differ in popla-tion, demographics, crime rates, and commerical vs. residental densities. In order to provide park lighting for such dynamic conditions, a narrative was produced that overlays existing conditions with desired programmatic elements.

  • To apply the narrative produced by diagramatic layering, sections of each programmatic area received an initial lighting scheme. Levels and fixture placement reflect a combination of the needs and desires of each neigh-borhoods residents in relation to the desired atmosphere.
