LIGHT CITY | DARK CINEMA IMAGE Headquarters Florence, Italy design collaboration with E.Ibragimova

Using stop motion, video was used to explore the conditions surrounding Piazza Guidici. Located at the center of a network of major Florentine destinations, Piazza Guidici is currently a dead space, devoid of program or activity. The films Magnet for Activity and Mortimers Travels identify two reasons for the void nature of the site the lack of program and the barrier to the river created by the wall. LIGHT CITY|DARK CINEMA takes the lessons learned from the film analysis and applies them along the Arno bank. The objective is twofold: to bring the visitor down to the river and to engage the visitor with the city and the cinema using chiaroscuro procession. The wall of the Arno, in lieu of acting as a barrier to the river, becomes the spine around which the visitor views both city and cinema. The integrated nature of the building and boardwalk coupled with the chiaroscuro procession of the visitor through city and cinema transforms a currently dead space into a major Florentine destination.

SUZUKI SCHOOL OF MUSICRenovation of Haus K. in O. Hamburg, Germany Comprehensive Design Studio design collaboration with M.Poes

The renovation of Haus K. in O. an historic 1930s villa designed by architect Martin Elsaesser transformed the villa into a Suzuki School of Music where a series of walls invade the existing structure. These walls are comprised of a series of cubic practice rooms that curve around and surround the existing villa to provide better acoustic rehearsal spaces and opportunities for interaction. The music school employs the educational philosophy of the Suzuki method which uses a childs ability to imitate examples, internalize principles and practice in a collaborative environment; thus the focus on two types of environments: practice room and group rehearsal space. The spaces formed between the walls become the communal rehearsal spaces and are a variety of shapes and sizes to provide students with opportunities to play within different sized groups. The practice rooms are uniform in size and shape but are detailed specifically for the different types of music: piano, choir, orchestra and band.

ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS INSTITUTESeneca Falls, New York

The Seneca Falls Environmental Rights Institute uses the diagram as a tool for design explora-tion for both strategy and application. Structural walls organize the program while maintaining the wall of Fall Street. The three walls are broken and carved into by program and circulation. The central space is defined by one of the major struc-tural walls, which combines library, auditorium and gallery.

RECONSIDERING THE RESTSTOPNational Highway System, New York Film was used to question the boundaries of the interstate system by overlaying various views of the highway system in a variety of opacities to blur the boundaries of the existing condition between the interstate and its surrounding environment. The virtual rest-stop translates this idea of creating ones own highway system and its ambiguous spatial relationships. Within the rest stop one knows their location and circulates throughout the rest stop according to the projections, with the highway serving as a reference point for re-orientation. These projections explore three different conditions directly related to the movement of travelers and transportation: entering/exiting, stopping and traveling.

FREEDOM BY DESIGN RAMP PROJECTSyracuse, New York Captain of Design-Build Program drawings produced collaboratively by FBD Team

Freedom by Design is a nationally based student run initiative, where architecture students and those of related fields resolve accessibility issues by designing small-home modifications for those faced with physical, mental and financial struggles. Re-thinking notions of accessibility, the FBD team developed a personalized solution for its client that solved the accessibility issue while simultaneously embodying the clients interests. The 385 Medford Ramp is an interactive ramp and outdoor deck space with a series of stepped terraces along the ramp that allow the client to actively engage in his gardening. The height of each terrace is custom designed so that as the client descends down the ramp he is able to safely access each terrace. These terraces serve as a wall which wraps the ramp-unified by the orientation of the decks dimensional lumber which

spills over the garden wall.FR

UCL STUDENT UNIONBloomsbury, London, United Kingdom The University of Central London Bloomsbury Student Union serves as a gateway building linking the UCL campus together by extending the east-west circulation from the main quad. Presently, the actual front of a majority of the campus buildings is not permeable but a solid front that conceals the learning environment. Circulation occurs along the backs of buildings but even though these backs function as fronts they still appear as backs. Since the campus lacks decipherable frontages, the Student Union denotes entry through a shallow decent from the main quad to Gower Street. The UCL Student Union maintains a route through the campus by serving as a social quad where programmatic activity occurs along the sloping surface bringing the campus to the city and the city of London into the campus.

ADVANCED BUILDING SYSTEMS CASE STUDYCARPENTER CENTER: LE CORBUSIER Cambridge, Massachusetts collaboration with G. Bencivengo, L. Farrell, E. Mikula, M. Poes drawings by H. Barlow

As Le Corbusiers only work in North America, the Carpenter Center at the Harvard University is realized as an encyclopedic volume of Corbusian tectonic and architectural principals, developed throughout his career. Strategies of integrating architectural composition with technical systems were envisioned as a set of ideal conditions yet were broken in a series of local conditions in design and realization. Given the climate of Cambridge, MA, certain alterations had to be made in order for his building to function in the given climate, without losing the critical aesthetic elements that make up a Corb building. These elements, vital in his design work, were adjusted and implemented into the given systems Harvard required.
