GALLERY OF RECOVERY Created as a meditative space for individuals recovering from drug addiction, the art gallery, located on a cliff of the coast line of California, allows the individual to traverse through a variety of spaces, evoking emotions. There are three different architectural typologies that interact with the cliffs edge: recessed, protruding, and flush. The entire program is submersed under the plateau of the cliff, to dramatize the experience, and allow the user to explore, hiding the next experience from the last.The recessed edge condition is symbolic of the struggles of addiction, and the beginning of the journey, as a way to signify that the individual is protected, removed from the edge, and on the first step out of harms way. The individual can see the edge, yet not experience it. The recessed edge also limits views, giving a very specific and narrow understanding, The experience continues into a series of compression and expansion spaces, relatively dark, and lined with works of art. The next space reached is a platform that protrudes from the cliffs edge. This space is meant to allow the user to experience 180 views from the cliffs edge, having a clearer understanding of ones surroundings. In psychology, there is a term, high-place phenomenon, which is the urge one has to jump off a high structure or cliff, even though he/she would never actually do it. There is no way they are suicidal, but it is something that all humans experience, the idea of being able to. When the individual finally backs off the ledge there is a subconscious sense of pride and relief as their sensitivity to internal cues affirms their will to live. This experience in the recovery process is meant to boost the confidence of the patients of the rehabilitation center. The final experience is one where the space is flush with the cliffs edge. This experience, accompanied by a series of sculptures in the space, allows the visitor to reflect, and as a place to rest. The edge is flush as a way to ensure a calming state of mind, nothing with much stress on the mind. Materials are reflective of where one is within the journey. As one approaches the building, there begin more and more hints of architecture such as stone walkways or steps made of logs, as they move into the building, it is purely building materials, such as concrete and steel, and as they leave it is the return to nature, where materials begin to break down again.

STRATAGIES & SYNERGIESThis project is a sustainable renovation of the existing Sovereign Ave. elementary school located in Atlantic City New Jersey. The existing design was modified in order to create series of sustainable synergies to Improve Water Efficiency, Indoor Air Quality, Energy consumption, and Site management through a series of strategies in order to control waste management, control water pollution, improve the quality of life for students and faculty and save money for the city. This will promote a better environment, as well as a learning opportunity, for the students of Sovereign Ave. School and the local community. Architects have an ethical responsibility to make sure we improve and maintain the planet we have been blessed with. Sovereign Ave. School will become a sustainable building, not through simple strategies greenwashing the building, but instead a series of strategies will work together in order to create two successful synergies.Site Synergy: Collecting rain water, will reduce storm water runoff, and will be used to flush toilets to reduce indoor water need. Toilets will be changed in order to reduce the amount of water needed, as well as how much waste will be leaving the site. Existing paving will be changed to allow water to enter the ground directly, and bio swales will be added in order to clean storm water before it enters the water table. Planting trees will reduce storm water, and reduce heat island. Including a bike storage facility will reduce the amount of cars needed to get to the site, therefore reducing parking space, making room for more bio-swale surfaces.Indoor-energy synergy: adding a clear story will add daylighting to the main corridor. Also, translucent flooring will allow light to travel down to stories below, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Adding operable windows, vents, and exhaust fans will help to promote natural ventilation, reducing the need for energy to run HVAC systems. Solar panels will be installed to help offset cost of powering the School, and will incorporate solar heating so preheat the sink water, which will reduce energy that is used to heat sink water from a colder in coming temperature.These two major synergies will work together as an education component for the students, faculty, and families of the local community. The environmental club will allow students to learn about the how synergies function, and be able to give presentations to the entire school every year for new students. Also, small paper fans (made by the students) will be placed at vents to show air movement from the natural ventilation, and clear PVC pipes that collect the rain water will show the water movement from the roof to the storage tanks
EXISTING PLANThere already are overhangs to protect the building from the sun
The roof is already painted a -
tive to reduce heat island
SUSTAINABLE PLAN
Replace Play Area impervious paving with new pervious paving.
Collect rain water on the roof
Place Solar Panels and Solar heaters on the roof of new clear story
Remove parking spaces and replace with Bioswale
Add foliage to play area to reduce heat island

Strategy 2: Bio-Retention
The implantation of bio-retention in the parking lot will reduce t he amount of s torm w ater r un o ff and water on s ite which can be used for irrigation of p lants. Reduction of Heat island as well due to removal of pavement,.
Plants will also assist in cleaning the water from toxins before expelling into the ground.
Calculations:
26,900 S quare feet of impervious paving
3,000 square feet of bio retention
175 MAX TRAVEL DISTANCE
Strategy 1: Bike Storage
- Close Proximity to a main entrance- Bringing Bike storage inside reduces the risk of s tolen bikes and a lso protects t he b ikes from the natural elements.- Reduces need for parking spaces of faculty who live within distance- Max travel distance is 200 meters to shower facility.
Calculations:823 FTE x 5% = 41 storage spaces
Strategy 5: Collection of rain water
Using the Roof surface of the building, there is a potential for great collection of water to be used throughout the building.
- Cisterns above g round to prevent damage due t o
- Located inside to prevent freezing during winter. - Separate Irrigation cistern located outside f or use i n warmer months.
Calculations:Potential water catchment:
x water conversion factor
14,325,696 gallons per year. = 50,000 sf2 x 3.36 in x 12 months x .95 (metal) x 7.48

Strategy 3: Permeable Paving
The implementation of pervious paving will allow storm water to directly enter t he ground soil, r educing t he risk of picking up contaminants along the way.
This will reduce t he a mount of storm water, as well as a llow water move to roots of surrounding plants.
Strategy 4: Gathering Foliage
Gathering foliage t ogether that need irrigation will help to reduce the amount of irrigation actually needed.
The p lants, because they are bunched together, will also require less need for irrigation when in a cooler environment.
Heat i sland can be reduced by adding more green spaces as well as foliage to block sun rays from hitting the pavement and heating the surface temperature at ground level.
Covering parking spaces as well w ill help to reduce heat island

Strategy 8: Clear Story Windows
- The building currently is a double loaded core, where the interior core has
- Adding a clear story will allow natural light to enter the center of the building- This is a passive strategy that will reduce the need for lighting in the corridors during the school hours.- Some direct sunlight will heat the air at
the lower levels of the building- Northern orientation will provide light without increasing heat gain from sun.

Strategy 10: Solar Panel
- Solar Panels will help to offset the electrical cost of the building.
Calculations:5,200 square feet / 15 = 346 Panels
190 watts per panel x 346 panels =65,866.66 watts65,866.66 / 1,000 = 65.85 kW

82,201 kWh generated per year.
82,201 kWh x 10.37 cents = $8,524 Energy Savings
Strategy 13: Exhaust Fan & Vents
- An exhaust fan w ill help expel hot a ir from the top of t he corridor, a s well a s create a negative pressure in the building, allowing air to be pulled in from the lower levels, promoting ventilation
- Vents from class r oom t o corridor w ill help to neutralize pressure, so doors will not slam to drafts and/or pressure difference. This will also make sure ventilation happens even w hen doors are closed.
vertically through the building, permitting hot air to rise, and pull cooler air through windows.

Strategy 12: Operable Windows
opened.
- Changing t he windows to b e opened will allow fresh outdoor air to enter the class rooms
- This strategy will passively promote natural ventilation during spring and fall months.
- Located on a barrier island, cross breeze is typically constant, and the proximity to the ocean calls for slightly cooler summers and milder winters, making the transition months, (fall and spring) feel longer and more comfortable.
* When a window is open a sensor w ill notify the HVAC to automatically shut off the system in the room.
EXISTING SECTION SUSTAINABLE SECTION
Strategy 11: Solar Heating
Integrating solar heating (Pipes to heat water) into solar panels (produce electricity) can effectively complete two tasks at once.
Water can be pulled from the grey water cisterns, brought to the solar heaters, heated, and t hen w rap the pipes t o the sink, i n order to preheat the water. The intent is to pre-heat sink water will reduce electrical cost for heating the water at a central location.
morf dellepxe retaw eht ,knis eht rof retaw eht taeherp ot redro nIthe cooling tower (80F) will wrap the pipes for the sink, raising the temperature though heat exchange.
Installing heaters at each sink, will reduce the need to constantly heat water in a boiler and pre-heating the water will reduce the amount of energy it takes to heat the water.
Strategy 14: Light Paint Colors
- Using a light colored material, such as white with a relativelythroughout the corridor.
not contain any VOCs which can p romote a non healthy space.
- According to the 2030 Palette, light paint promotes the travel of light rays, making the overall clearstory
- Lighter colors also subconsciously make the users feel better, such a s yellow, which is releases serotonin into our brain.
Strategy 15: Environmental Club
- The Environmental club will be started and will provide tours of the building synergies. All new students are required to attend the presentation of how their building has become more sustainable.
The goal is not to hide any strategies from the students, or community, as they have a right to know how successful synergies work.
- Students in the new environmental club will make pin-wheels to place on the natural ventilation vents. This way students will physically see the a ir moving through the space.
- There will be a point within the piping of the water collection process, where students can see rain water traveling to the tanks, and t hen being pumped t o the toilets. This will help give them an understanding of water movement and building systems.

JESUIT LIBRARYAlso known as the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits are an order of the Roman Catholic Religion who focus on science, education, and missionary work. The proposed Jesuit Library and Chapel at the corner of 15th and Columbia in Washington, D.C. embodies such aspects by emphasizing the relationships between body, mind, and spirit to educate the whole person. Thus, our concept is to use literature to inspire knowledge and light to inspire divinity.The building accomplishes this goal in a variety of ways: The supporting program represents the body while the stacks and reading area represent the mind. Body and mind are joined through physical connections in the form of structure and relating program. The spiritual aspect of the building manifests itself via a massive lightwell which carries light 75 feet through the building, improving natural ventilation, and containing structure.The light from the well permiates through out the building and consequently allows for spirituality to exist in both mind and body.Light was selected as the theme for both mind and body as it is a desired component of spaces in which divine and intellectual inspiration can take place. As a result it was decided that the chapel be placed below grade, where the light travels as it cascades down the well, illuminating various spaces along the way.Ultimately, the Jesuit Chapel and Library is the physical manifestation of Jesuit ideals as it bridges the gap between physical and metaphysical stimulation. It provides patrons with the means to transcend their tangible environment and spiritual dispositions, educating their body, mind and spirit.

Issue:- The Project is a Library and a Chapel space run by the Jesuit Sect of the Catholic religion- There must be a connection between these two spaces based on the beliefs of the religion itself.What are the Jesuits?- The Jesuits take four vows: Poverty/ Chastity/ Obedience to Christ/ Obedience to the Pope.- Founded by saint Ignatius of Loyola, who spent much time reading, fasting, and praying.- Spread the word of God through Missionary work and education.- The Jesuits have established the largest worldwide network of schools and universities - Jesuits have a hierarchical structure- Jesuits dont have to wear a habit. Recommended to dress according to culture they live in.- Jesuits spend 13 years studying and teaching as part of the process of becoming a priest.Jesuits & Science- Great deal of research in the elds of geography, ethnography, botany, and zoology- Inuenced the atomic theory which impacted such people as albert Einstein- Importance of learning language- Contributed to the ndings of: pendulum clocks, pantographs, barometers, reecting telescopes, microscopes, optics, and electricity. - Theorized about: circulation of blood, possibilities of ight, and moons gravitational pull.- Known for: astronomy, calendar making, mathematics, hydraulics, and geography- There is also a military background and they are referred to as Gods soldiers.Jesuits and Art- Jesuit art depicts how important the Jesuits sect of Catholicism is to the world of science - Almost all include pictures of Globes and telescopes.- Show their interest in the world of geography and the vastness of space- One image depicts rays of light and their use for channeling light in direct ways- Many show the importance of reading and writing. What does this mean for design?- Placing chapel in basement we are bringing it closer to earth, one of the important studies of Jesuits: Geography. - Design challenge of bringing light into the space: Channeling light- Use of optics in building: contribution for the society for Jesus.
The site can be accessed via multiple ways of transportation. Among them include a variety of travel by foot or vehicle and are as follows:-Foot-Bike-Metro-Car-Bus
The site is situated amidst a neighborhood where the sacred and profane collide and compete. Both secular and sacred landmarks seek to make their presence known, constantly competing but never acknowledging the human element they all share.
The density of the neighborhood yields the potential for multiple locations where trac congestion (both pedestrian and vehicle) can arise. By idntifying these points initially our structure has the ability to adapt to the ebb and ow of its new neighbors.

Recommended to dress according to culture they live in.- Jesuits spend 13 years studying and teaching as part of the process of becoming a priest.Jesuits & Science- Great deal of research in the elds of geography, ethnography, botany, and zoology- Inuenced the atomic theory which impacted such people as albert Einstein- Importance of learning language- Contributed to the ndings of: pendulum clocks, pantographs, barometers, reecting telescopes, microscopes, optics, and electricity. - Theorized about: circulation of blood, possibilities of ight, and moons gravitational pull.- Known for: astronomy, calendar making, mathematics, hydraulics, and geography- There is also a military background and they are referred to as Gods soldiers.Jesuits and Art- Jesuit art depicts how important the Jesuits sect of Catholicism is to the world of science - Almost all include pictures of Globes and telescopes.- Show their interest in the world of geography and the vastness of space- One image depicts rays of light and their use for channeling light in direct ways- Many show the importance of reading and writing. What does this mean for design?- Placing chapel in basement we are bringing it closer to earth, one of the important studies of Jesuits: Geography. - Design challenge of bringing light into the space: Channeling light- Use of optics in building: contribution for the society for Jesus.
The site can be accessed via multiple ways of transportation. Among them include a variety of travel by foot or vehicle and are as follows:-Foot-Bike-Metro-Car-Bus
The site is situated amidst a neighborhood where the sacred and profane collide and compete. Both secular and sacred landmarks seek to make their presence known, constantly competing but never acknowledging the human element they all share.
The density of the neighborhood yields the potential for multiple locations where trac congestion (both pedestrian and vehicle) can arise. By idntifying these points initially our structure has the ability to adapt to the ebb and ow of its new neighbors.

Also known as the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits are an order of the Roman Catholic Religion who focus on science, education, and missionary work. The proposed Jesuit Library and Chapel at the corner of 15th and Columbia in Washington, D.C. embodies such aspects by emphasizing the relationships between body, mind, and spirit to educate the whole person. Thus, our concept is to use literature to inspire knowledge and light to inspire divinity.
The building accomplishes this goal in a variety of ways: The supporting program represents the body while the stacks and reading area represent the mind. Body and mind are joined through physical connections in the form of structure and relating program. The spiritual aspect of the building manifests itself via a massive lightwell which carries light 75 feet through the building, improving natural ventilation, and containing structure.The light from the well permiates through out the building and consequently allows for spirituality to exist in both mind and body.
Light was selected as the theme for both mind and body as it is a desired component of spaces in which divine and intellectual inspiration can take place. As a result it was decided that the chapel be placed below grade, where the light travels as it cascades down the well, illuminating various spaces along the way.
Ultimately, the Jesuit Chapel and Library is the physical manifestation of Jesuit ideals as it bridges the gap between physical and metaphysical stimulation. It provides patrons with the means to transcend their tangible environment and spiritual dispositions, educating their body, mind and spirit.
He who seeks to scale the heights,must first plunge far into the depths.

SPIRITUAL RETREAT The Proposed retreat, located in the Shenandoah National Park, will host up to nineteen guests at one time with the purpose of evoking spiritual connections from within the individual. Guests will partake in many different activities that will challenge them physically, mentally, spiritually, and communally. Guests will immediately be subjected to nature upon arrival. As one makes his/her way to the lodge, hints of architecture begin to appear, easing the transition from the natural world to the man-made. Upon arrival at the lodge, guests are greeted with an itinerary for their stay. The retreat campus is an easy to navigate site, with three key elements. The first being the main lodge, half tucked in the ground while half protrudes outward horizontally. The second are the individual cave-like rooms. The rooms are carved into the mountain side for a sense of shelter and comfort for rest. The final component is a small prayer cube that floats above the ground. The different interactions with the building and land assist in creating a sense of place. The use of natural materials and alignment of topography help to ground the buildings. In addition to home cooked meals, friendly staff, and a comfortable environment, all rooms of the retreat are named after common home terms to allow guests to feel more comfortable for a home-away-from-home experience.

Through a series of processes, a variety of spaces are created in order to accommodate the needs of different individuals. Public space is important when designing in a city, and creating a space that attracts pedestrians is difficult. In order to attract people passing by the site two large spaces are created, one urban space, and one green space. The green space acts as an oasis to beat the hot summer sun, and the urban space acts as an area that is versatile for events such as markets, concerts, vendors, performances, ect. Large windows and easy access to shops promotes window shopping within public spaces, with offices in locations with more direct paths. When placing buildings, it was taken into account the location of surrounding context such as alleys, balconies, and windows. Apartments are located on the upper four floors to increase privacy, with ecological advantages to decrease pollution andimprove comfort. There is a private green roof terrace for residents of the buildings. Facades are a response to current context, but with elements that allow to the site

ALTERNATING SPACES The tenants of the infill building would work for their rent and are temporary residents, who are looking to stay in Barcelona, need a job, and want to live in an upcoming neighborhood, but dont know exactly where to start. The entire buildings concept is Alternating Spaces in order to provide many different atmospheres for diners. The ground floor is the kitchen and prep area with some seating. Seating continues in pods as the building ascends. Finally, the roof has a raised bar that overlooks el borne. The bar tenders area is a lower level to allow diners to view without obstruction Iin terms of the faade; I decided to apply a more modern facade to the building, since this would be the only modern faade on el borne. This allows the infill building to complement other surrounding buildings and vice versa. There is a relationship between facades in the vertical sense that is created through windows and balconies.

COMMUNITY BOATHOUSE The current site acts as separation between the city and the Anacostia River. There is one element of the site that truly divides these two zones, the bulkhead. The concrete bulkhead, intended to protect the site and surrounding areas from high waters creates a harsh edge that prevents the two zones from interacting. The purpose of the community boat house Is to connect the general public with the Anacostia River and boating community. The design of the boat house breaks that barrier of the bulkhead to allow a much stronger connection with the water and the citizen.
Reverse the role of the bulkhead; Contain the city,Embrace the Anacostia River. 43

A LIBRARY OF POETRY The most interesting part of a library is the books themselves. When a book lays open, the pages are picked up and tossed about by the wind. They lose their stability and begin to flow freely. If these pages were frozen in time from the elevation, they would give you an elegant rhythm of curved lines.Another important item in a library is how no two books in the library are the same. I want to provide an experience in the library similar to the difference of books. A place where he/she can occupy, depending on his/her own preferences. Whether the space is large or small, light or dark, inside or outside, uninteresting or captivating, much like a book, the individual will be able to meet his/her needs.There are spaces in a library that must be situated next to or close to each other. There are also spaces that much be separated from each other. Paths of adults, children, employees, teens, writers,readers, and speakers is also importantto keep in mind in order to provide sufficient circulation..
