Mission Statement

The College of Architecture and the Built Environment will create a collaborative environment, both in the building and on the surrounding campus. One of Philadelphia University’s future goals is to create a shared learning environment where different majors can collaborate on projects and develop the interdisciplinary relationships that they will experience in their professional career. To promote this the building will incorporate a series of connections both physical and visual. Through physical manipulation of the site, the building will draw both design and nondesign students and visitors directly into a provocative atmosphere of architectural knowledge and process. The building will also generate visual connections into the architectural process through layers of transparency to give the building an animated presence. This layered transparency will not only appear in the building envelope, but also continue throughout the building interior creating a shared visual and circulative environment between the collective programs of the C_ABE building. The building will incorporate passive systems with major focus on hydrology and solar energy that will not only increase sustainability and building effectiveness, but also provide a physical example of sustainable technologies.

SITE ANALYSIS

Macro Si te Analys is

Philadelphia University hosts a relatively small campus that runs along both sides of School House Lane with a current enrollment of 36,000 students that is growing every each year. The campus is comprised of many different styles of architecture ranging from historic mansions to contemporary complexes. The University has many notable boarders and margins such as the large number of neighboring residencies of high wealth as well as the entire main campus existing within the Wissahickon water shed. The campus offers several potential sites to house the C_ABE building and so a through investigation of how potential sites could benefit the goals of the mission statement was crucial.

Micro Si te Analys is

The Site of the existing townhouses offers many opportunities for reshaping the landscape as it has a 15ft change in elevation within the buildable area. The site also sits within the Wissahickon Water Shed which means permeable built surfaces are a good fit to the demands of the site. With the site pros far out-weighing the site cons, and the high potential for using the lanscape to create multiple points of entry, the site was ideal.

In developing the landscape in and around the new CABE Building we took a look at the way the projects on the left utilized land. Through studying these projects we were able to establish a language of landscape that moves the occupant through out our building. While studing landscape we also explored screening systems in other projets that could be translated into our projet. As we were looking to develop different levels of transparenct in our building to reveal the architectural process screening methods surfaces as the most relevant way to acheive the facades we envisioned.
