SQUANTUM POINT LODGEQuincy, Massachusetts
Professor. Mark Klopfer
Studio. Comprehensive, Spring 2015
Partners. Patrick Grime, Tina Sylvester
Collaboratively working together with other architecture and interior design students, the design process started with providing the users with concealed tranquil garden spaces. By incorporating courtyards thoughout the building, the amount of interior natural daylight was maximized. The main concept was a circulation path along a series of spaces that expanded and contrasted relating a series of specific moments throughout the building.

Squantum Point Park is a state owned, public recreation area located on the Squantum peninsula of Quincy, Massachusetts. The park is associated with the development of the Neponset River Reservation. The park is incorporated along the Boston Harbor Walk.
The future development of this site is proposing to introduce a ferry terminal that allows easy transpira-tion access to Boston and other city’s along the waters edge. Since the ferry terminal will populate the area along with the harbor walk, the town is proposing a National Hotel Lodge on the site.

The main image is a perspective of the lobby space that successfully captures the essence of the space. As a person enters the main path, they are introduced with a low over-hang, as they enter the building the lobby space expands, providing the user with a direct view of the upper level courtyard.
These images are working simul-taneously, allowing the viewer to understand a specific moment within the building. The axon drawing pro-vides a three-dimensional view where the building is being cut, while the sectional drawing provides a direct orthographic view.

By providing the building with courtyards, natural light is allowed to funnel down to the lowest level. This creates a unique experience that allows the users to be engaged with green spaces along the journey of the building.
This diagram demonstrates the way in which our team incorporated con-cealed courtyard spaces through out the main circulation paths of the site, this begins to engage users of the hotel with public park users.

URBAN SANCTUARYSouth Boston, Massachusetts
Professor. Tatiana Berger
Studio. Architectural Design & Technology
Semester. Second Year, Spring 2013
The Sanctuary is a contemplative space for memo-rial services with an associated columbarium for the interment of cremated remains. This Urban Sanctuary is representative of a higher power through ephemeral light - the rhythm and modulation of the direction, color, and intensity related to the suns path
The site is located adjacent to an early 19th century urban burial ground in the South End. The South End Burial Ground, houses the remains of over 10,000 Bostonians.

The natural light spills in from above, glowing luminously into the sanctu-ary. A concrete slab is suspended below the ceiling which provides an ambient glowing effect through out the sanctuary.

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH HOSTELBack Bay, Boston, Massachusetts
Professor. James Allen
Studio. Design Principles
Semester. Second Year, Fall 2012
The International youth Hostel on Newbury Street is an urban destination for travelers to connect and learn about each other and the city of Boston.
Travelers are unified by an open circulation space that runs throughout the center of the building. This encour-ages interaction between many different cultures on various levels through out the building.
The conceptual approach was to create a large atrium space that connects people together. The circulation space acts as a nest to gather the warmth of another or find a moment of rest.
18
The form of the building was created with a diagrammatic approach that separated public and private spaces. As the levels increase, the public spaces become smaller, private and more intimate. This allows people of different cultures to define comfort in their own way.

Semester. Third Year, Spring 2014
This is a connection between the old and new student centers at Wellesley College by reinterpreting the current path and adding meditative space. The completion of Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam’s LuLu Chow Wang student center at the Wellesley Campus symbolically and geographically altered the campus center, moving it west from its previous core, the academic quad.

Buildings on campus register an elevation change that shifts from the high ground of a drumlin into one of the many valley meadows. This allows the new path to be embedded into the natural topography but also captures views of the meadow.

BEINECKE LIBRARY ANALYSISYale University, New Haven, Connecticut
Professor. Tatiana Berger
Studio. Architectural Design, Spring 2012
Partners. Mariah Erickson, Andrew Calnen, Christopher Foley
While collaboratively researching the Beinecke Library, we determined that the envelope, site, and structure is based on a 9’ x 9’ grid.
The Beinecke Rare Book Library was designed by Gordan Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. On the facade the translucent veined marble panels work to block out Ultraviolet rays, protecting rare books and manuscripts.
26
Mimicking the facade, a piece of painted plexi-glass was inserted between velum paper, allowing the eye to only see white marble on the exterior, but when natural light enters the interior space it glows an warm onyx color.

ROME INTERVENTIONRome, Italy
Professor. Mark Klopfer
Studio. Special Topics
Semester. Fifth Year, Fall 2015
Trajan’s Forum is an ancient ruin that still remains today. The forum is comprised of two parts, a large public gathering space made up of a colonnaded court, and a Basilica. The Forum is located northeast of the Capitoline Hill in Rome and is the last and most significant of the imperial fora to be built.
While traveling to Rome, the most interesting part of the site was the topography change. Starting with sketching the topography change, resulted in a interactive sectional model that was movable, which began to alter spatial perception.

Studying the evolution of the site, the Nolli map illustrates the entire market was deconstructed and filled with land to make room for the growing population and urbanization of Rome. Present today, the remains of Trajan’s market have been rediscovered. Located at the base of Trajan’s Col-umn, inscribed in Latin, “its purpose was to show the depth of the cutting required for the forum.”

For the Urban Intervention, the idea was to create a special collection li-brary, open to the public that allowed people to experience Trajan’s Market on the existing ancient elevation. This intervention also allows the users to be able to experience the existing height of the Quirinal Hill which was excavated for the construction of the forum.

THESIS EXPLORATIONBoston,Massachusetts
Professor. Aaron Weinert, Lora Kim, Robert Cowherd
Studio. Thesis Prep & Thesis
Semester. Fifth Year, Fall 2015 & Spring 2016
Studying phenomenal qualities in architecture started the research for this thesis project. A phenomenology of environment studies three main ideas. First; the essential qualities of environments like topography and spatial qualities. Second; the interconnections of human environ-mental experiences. Third; the larger context of societal and symbolic atmospheres essential to place. When the architectural experience becomes multi-sensory, all the senses are equally experiencing the quality of the space, which strengthens the existential experience. A healing environment is based on phenomenal qualities in archi-tecture that puts a person in an environment that relieves stress and allows contact with nature.
36
One healing quality that is incorporat-ed into health care design is thermal comfort, through daylighting, which should control human comfort and limit energy consumption. Another quality is to take advantage of natural light and shadows as it is proven to help a patient heal and minimizes the need for electric lighting during the daytime.
The Basel Rehabilitation Center was designed by Herzog and de Meu-ron and provides all patient rooms with direct views to the landscape, eliciting positive emotions. Large energy-efficient windows in patient rooms provide abundant daylighting.
