Through a choreographed sequence of indoor, outdoor, veiled and framed spaces, architecture can evoke memory and encourage socializing, nestling and heighten awareness. If a sequence of spaces is designed with differing architectural qualities, then the experience of the collection of spaces will heighten awareness, engage the senses and ultimately promote well being. I am propos-ing a senior housing facility with supporting programmatic elements as the vehicle for testing how to create a phenomenal experience of spatial sequences that amplify awareness through spaces that set the stage for retreating into the community and engaging the surroundings of Atlantic City. Architecture can frame, veil, suggest and evoke memory. Through a choreographed sequence of pro-grammed spaces, the senior citizens are encouraged to be part of a community as well as to re-establish connections to surround-ings, which ultimately promotes self confidence.

The plane folds up and becomes both a shading device for the piazza areas and a sky frame. The perforated
plane activates the ground as the ever changing unique shadows dance across the market floor.
The site is an entire block and the mass is made of two
layers with public space on the lower layer and private space on the upper layer. It is where the upper and lower floors touch that the private and public meet and the
exchange begins. Public and private meet at the vertical circulation cores. These cores have strategically placed
windows allowing the theatre students to be seen
circulating through the curtain wall.

contain your garden
a container for boutique urban growth
An urban garden seems like a paradoxical idea, but housing garden functions in a compact space, like a shipping container, truly urbanizes a garden. These containers are designed to store goods, so part of it is dedicated to the storage of water, collected on the container’s roof, which is modified into a water-filtering green roof. The water stored in the cistern is then used to feed plants, which can then be distributed to the public from this compact retail space. The long end of the container has been cut, and hinges open to create both a counter and a storefront window. One of the short sides has been turned into a glass door. The container can be opened to allow ample light, gardening enthusiasts, and customers during the day, and secured at night.

Danaus is an exploration of the transitional process from 2D drawing to a 3D object, comparable to a process which an abstract architectural drawing translates into a tangible functional object in space.
Back in January we started with the simple idea of anamorphic graphics, where we created the illusion of a complete shape from one perspective, made up of frag-mented pieces. The idea has evolved into a complex transitional form.
After entering the building the viewer is confronted with the complete perspective of a cube, represented with a two dimensional hexagon. After continuing, the viewer realizes that the shape is actually projected on multiple surfaces. From the stairs, the viewer can see the morphological process. The voids transition from 4 to 5, and then 6-sided polygons. The voids also grow in size, with the space between them diminishing as they push together, creating a more porous surface.
The final transformation dictates the depth of the extrusion. The pieces change from almost paper thin at the bottom, growing to approximately 10-inches deep. At the top, the installation provides placement for storing flyers and papers in front of the administrative offices.

“Our mission is to nurture young people through the meaningful work of growing food,” says Gilligan. “We will work with several high schools and youth organizations to recruit paid interns and teach them how to grow vegetables and fruit and prepare them for market.” The high school students also will have classes in cooking, nutrition and finance.
Grow Dat, Youth Farm:
To design and build a farm and
supporting structures using
innovative design and utilizing shipping containers while working with
the existing landscape. To create a
learning environment where the youth of New Orleans can learn the meaningful work of growing food while gaining valuable
experience of working with others and
cultivating new skills

A vegetation screen was designed to further shield the exterior of the containers from the heat of the day. The vegetation screen would be used on the front elevation.

Piazza de la Santa Maria della Pace
A church in Rome just a few blocks from Piazza Navona, Piazza de la Santa Maria della Pace is almost hidden by the neighboring buildings. There is a path on axis
with the small piazza of Maria della Pace. This path becomes a narrative where only at specific points the neighboring buildings allow a peak at the framed views of
the church which becomes the plot. As the narrative unwraps and the path brings the viewer closer, the viewer becomes framed by the piazza.
Model of the journey toward Maria della Pace. There are three twists in the journey creating three
unique framed views of the church. The drawing shows each of the three views overlaid onto the
specific locations of the view on the map.
Civil Rights Museum clad in history
Rich in Civil Rights history, the
neighborhood is viewed by the visitor
through the perforated screen made
of a series of screens that recreate the
famous “I have a dream speech” by Dr. Martin Luther King. Looking through the
speech at the neighborhood, the visi-
tor can see where many of the important
events that impacted both the neigh-borhood and the movement took place
Offering opportunities for both reflec-tion and education, the spacial experience of weaving in and out of
the perforated wall system allows the
viewer to experience history in a completely new way. As they take in more
information, the viewer is literally height-ened and removed from society as the ramp reaches the top gallery.
