The project was a dance studio, located in downtown New Orleans. Studies in dance revealed an overlap that translated itself into the building’s design methodology. Program, circulation, and light are the primary agents overlapping throughout the building, both in plan and in section.

Combining wood and concrete, the building’s structure holds a series of patterned louvers on each floor. The louvers gradually lessen in density in the most public parts of the building, allowing views from the street front

The wood louvers protect the building’s front from western light. Conversely, they cast dramatic shadows on interior spaces when the sun is strongest. Wood and concrete feature prominently throughout, especially in the atrium that houses the public grand stair.

The Building Arts Institute was the first holistic design project in which practical concerns were addressed alongside site parameters. A neighborhood suffering from prolonged decline, Saint Roch maintains rich local traditions. Project design sought to reactivate the site’s existing and active corners in order to revitalize the once vibrant neighborhood.

The site is situated along a developing public corridor, stemming from the river. Passed the complex, however, the promenade ends abruptly at Interstate 10. The proposal would allow passage through, gesturing to redeveloping the industrial corridor beyond.

A key design component of the studio was to incorporate masonry thoughtfully and provocatively. The Building Arts Institute features brick walls running parallel to the block and defining each of the strips of program. In the entry, the brick pattern is punctured more frequently to let light filter into the circulatory atrium.

Completed in BIM education course, the sustainable house was the first project designed wholly in Revit. The project called for a sustaibable home in New Orleans’ ecclectic Uptown district.

The home has a simple but effective palette of materials. The roof, made of water resistent steel panels, cantilevers out in order to offer sunshading and water management. The form underneath consists of simple clapboard siding.

The cantilevered roof channels water down to a bioswale situated adjacent to the house. It is filtered and pumped back through the building for usage by the residents within.

As part of the project, the teammates utilized a central model in order to make changes independently of one another. close collaboration was required in order to give a realistic feel to the project’s workflow, found in architectural practice.

Located atop the ruins of Roman stables, development of the site has stalled, as officials decide how to proceed. The precinct, Ponte, was one of many shaped by Pope Sixtus V in his efforts to make Rome more axially linear and convert it into a thriving seat of power.

The museum design features gradations in level that bridge the dense urban corridor along Via Giulia & the tree-lined Tiber River along the Lungotevere. A central bridge passes through the building, linking the two street fronts.

The design strategy features a grand stair that encircles one of the building’s load bearing concrete walls. On one side, visitors overlook double heigh gallery spaces. On the other, they process through a large atrium that opens up to the Lungotevere, & the ruins below. The atrium features thin copper panels that cast warm light throughout the space.

The museum continues the urban wall along Via Giulia in its elevation. As it moves through to the Lungotevere, the facade becomes more free-flowing, gesturing to the casual and porous city scape along the Tiber River. Program also included residences & educational spaces.

Precedent study called for close examination of a famous work of architecture, in this case Louis Kahn’s First Unitarian Church. The studies informed architectural language used in the subsequent design project.

Physical models accompanied diagrammatic analysis of Kahn’s Unitarian Church. The exercize stressed the usage of different materials to convey archintecture principles relating to the building’s composition and spatiial development.

The project called for a site intervention, synthesizing lessons learned in the Kahn precedent study and conditions presented by the site. The site- Santo Domingo de Bonaval- an old monastery complex in Santiago de Compostela- features Alvaro Siza’s museum, added in 1994.

URBANISM IN THE CRESCENT CITYNEW ORLEANS URBAN ANALYSIS//FALL 2012
Urban analysis of New Orleans preceded design in order to develop an awareness of site sensitivity. Growing from a planned urban core and along the Mississippi River, new neighborhoods formed within former plantation plot lines, oriented toward the River. This movement shifted the city grid while providing for rapid demographic growth.

DEURBANIZATION
1862-1925: Rapid Expansion 2010: Uncertain Direction
Studies showed that public transit declined with the growth of the automobile industry and large fragments of the city were no longer consilidated within the framework of the urban core.
Population Spread: 1910 Population Spread: 2010

PRECINCT ANALYSISFocusing on the Marigny, a vibrant New Orleans neighborhood, revealed patterns of early urban expansion along the Mississippi River and the development of the city’s first exclusively residential district adjacent to the intial urban core.

PRECEDENTS OF SUBURBANIZATIONThe precinct study revealed the site to be a part of an urban system in which dense fabric downtown spreads out along the river to form progressively less dense, residential blocks in the Marigny fan, revealing a tradition of suburbanization.

MUSEUM OF THE CITYLocated in the Marigny at one of the city’s grid shifts, the project called for the development of a museum catering both to lessons learned from urban analysis and local precinct studies. The scheme consisted of programmatic walls, including a Wall of Books, a Wall of the City, a Wall of Light, and a Surveyor’s Wall.
