ARCH 842Studio II
Kuntshal - New York This project involved the development of a 60,000 sq. foot “Kuntshall” in New York City. A Kuntshall is a museum that has revolving exhibits. Because of the presence and importance of the Highline to this project, the decision was made to cantilever the display space, leaving an unbroken sight line and path from the road to the Highline. An outdoor amphitheater at the base of the service core also acts as a foot to mitigate the overturning moment present in such a severe canti-lever, and o�ers access to the highline from the road.

The site is surrounded by 10th Ave., and 18th and 19th streets. The fourth side is �anked by the High-line, a raised park on a former railroad trestle that has revitalized the surround area, known as the meat packing district.

LogicThe two variables that de�ne the skin are the circulation behind the skin and the sun angle and intensity. The size of each portal is de�ned by the space beyond. The window opening turns along its bottom left corner as it’s depth increases, depending on sun intensity. This twisting mitigates sun expo-

Circulation The �oor plates of the Kuntshal are fractured and ramp up and down, depending on the �oor. Each �oor is connected by a ramp imbedded in the skin. There is an entrance and exit ramp on each �oor, so the service core can be avoided on one’s journey through the nine �oors of the display space.

Asheville MarketplaceArt, Agriculture, Food, Conservation and Sustainability are concepts of great importance to Asheville’s unique population. This design is founded on the idea of creating a space for this diverse and vibrant culture to celebrate their interests and passions. The goal was to create a form that would seamlessly integrate the Market space, Classrooms, O�ces, and Restaurants with eachother and into the fabric of Asheville.

Digital to AnalogThe design process can be approached from many di�erent angles. In this exercise we were instructed to create a dynamic boolean form in Rhino. The form was then to be subtracted from a 25x50x100 box. This would be the form of our building. From this point we were to add �oor plates, structure, mullions and glazing elements. This complete building was to then be sectioned and placed into a real world environment utilizing photoshop. Final form was then to be modeled. Shifted circles of varying diameters

Modeling
Floor plate molds were fabricated using a 3-d printer, as was the interior glazing element. After pouring the �oor plates in concrete, they were placed in a mold fabricated with melamine coated �ber board. A con-crete additive was used for the mix of the base/wall that the �oor plates would cantilever from, in order to add color. A lattice of laser cut chip board was used for the mullion elements.

Charleston Waterfront The base of the very popular Charleston Market ends disappointingly at a parking lot, with a cruise ship terminal beyond blocking the view of the water. Charleston does a very poor job utiliz-ing its water front, and in this project we were directed to address the 450,000 square feet between the end of the market, and the water. The star of this project was to be the US Customs house, a massive neoclassical government building built in the late 1800s.

Design Considerations
The Charleston coastline once reached the market. Piers reached out along the coastline to serve the busy port city. Building up on this site would block the numerous view corridors. These consider-ations led us to decision to excavate to create unique moments, respite from the harsh Charles-ton summer sun. The excavations mimic the piers of old and reintro-duce water to the Market-place. These excavations can be �ooded to provide water features depend-ing on the time of year.

Final Design
There are four main points of excavation. The �rst runs up to the market and can be �ooded. The second is at the base of the stairs, when not �ooded, can be used as a stage. The excavation on the other side fo the Customs House is planted with Live Oak, creating a unique canopy at eye level. The fourth excavation is a unique under ground system allows respite and services.

ResidentialExperience
The Watkins ResidenceCompleted on Lake Murray in 2011 for Mark Watkins, this residence is a Tuscan Style single family two bedroom. Bracketed porch and eaves provide protection from the southern sun. A large outdoor bar provide unique social space after a day on the lake. Designed completely in Revit, the 3d renderings were a great tool to communicate the design with the client.
