Connections:Architectural Exploration in Hertzian Space

[Brooklyn, NY] Graduate Thesis Studio

Within recent years, the progress in communication technology has allowed the world to become more connective than ever, yet this evolution of communication technologies has further weakened human face-to-face communication with each new development. As part of NYU’s growth plan, the proposed Media Connections Center is a research facility that allows researchers, professors, and students to create and develop these new technologies that re-introduce the human factor while also creating an environment that creates spaces for collaboration, socializing, and interaction with the public through a series of interlocking research labs and a stepping pinwheel of circulation space. An architectural exploration of the idea of Hertzian space, the Media Connection Center brings together the human element back into technology and into the

lives of its inhabitants.

Whale’s Tooth T.O.D.[New Bedford, MA] Undergraduate Studio

The focus of Transit Oriented Development is to create communities with an emphasis on pedestrian and mass public transportation. Whale’s Tooth in New Bedford, MA creates a commuter community with a diverse range of residential, commercial, civic, and mixed use programs that promote growth. The site’s unappealing surroundings to the east and to the west, create an inward focus along a central spine for commercial activity. It is complemented by green spaces that punctuate the gridded fabric in a checkerboard fashion. The angle of the rail line as it enters the site is maintained and its juxtaposition to the gridded urban fabric creates a transit nexus that brings bus, car, trolley and rail together creating a strong

anchor for the development.

Center for The Study & Appreciation of Landscape[Lanzarote, Spain] Graduate Comprehensive Studio

The creation of Lanzarote is the result of two contrasting forces; the creative force of the volcanoes and lava and the eroding force of the wind and water. The center itself is no more than the rock, a simple creative object. Like the rock, the center is eroded and carved away at, creating opportunities for light, wind, views, and the landscape itself to enter into the building, creating an experience of Lanzarote within the building. Like the pores on the rock, the spaces within the center are a series of open and compressed spaces that allow for visitors to experience different areas of the building from one single point. The unique program, part museum for nature, part research center, intertwine with one another to create a full experience of the center for the visitors and researchers.

VaaralaComprehensive School

[Espoo, FN]

Springer Architects

Springer Architects completed this submission for a new comprehensive school in Espoo Finland as part of an international design competition. The competition is currently under review.

The scheme is organized into two main parts; the public shared community spaces and the more private learning spaces. The community spaces were seen as rough rock faces, inspired from Finland’s glacier history. These spaces front the main street and activate the street level. The community spaces are seen as an interior street or market in which the community and students can share. In contrast to the rock like public spaces, the learning space is perceived as a forest, a common symbol for the strive for knowledge and relating to Finland’s vast forested wilderness. The learning spaces are organized in a courtyard scheme which allows for shorter corridors, views to the exterior, and public nooks and informal lounge spaces for the students and staff.
