Jackson Ave. Fitness & Aquatics CenterIt is the intention of this thesis to explore how contemporary architectural elements can be integrated into an exiting structure, blending the two languages and creating a kind of “hybrid” building, in which both the new and the old systems work together. In this project, a dilapidated ferry terminal is reinvented as a fitness & aquatics center, connecting the community back with the mighty Mississippi River.

Thermal Baths at Sankt Jorgens SoProject Response: As an experiment of “light” and “dark”, the design leads one through two very different volumes, each of which offers a very different experience of either social levity or placid solitude. These two realms intertwine to create a circulation/rendezvous point that has an atmosphere all its own.
