EAST LIBERTY | Over the past century East Lib-erty has gone from a bustling business district of Pittsburgh to a struggling, blighted neigh-borhood. Recent development has put the neighborhood in a tough position, somewhere between gentrification and positive cultural di-versity. This project attempts to address the fu-ture of the area.

CINEMA | The comparisons between architecture and film are well established and have served as a foundation of discourse within both art forms for over a century. The connections are natural. This project affords the opportunity to explore the architectural conditions of collective media spaces that utilize cinematic conventions as well as emerging and experimental means of expres-sion and communication.

DESIGN | The eyes and the limits of perception are ultimately the protagonist of all film. This project aimed to use cinema not as a just a fix-

ture for which to situate the program around, but as a model through which to design. How can the building augment and play upon con-ventional ideas of perception? Spaces blend to-gether and overlap, programmed for many uses, blurring programmatic lines and allowing one to flow freely. A lofty, open entrance sequence car-ries throughout the building, extending the dy-namics of the corner into the lobby and through the gallery space. This openness is communica-ble by all, allowing cultural exchange between all members of the community. This accessibil-ity is fore-fronted in the hope that the cinema becomes a community fixture, not simply a des-tination for those who choose to come, but a constant anchor for East Liberty.

ENVELOPE | Perforated steel is leveraged as a tool to alter view and explore the voyeuristic quality of the camer in cinema. How can openings begin to address issues of see-ing and being seen - framing views out vs. framing views in? How does the experience differ when walking by vs. riding a bike or driving by? Changes in size of perforation correspond to progromatic needs for privacy.

INSTANCE | View out from bath over Saco Lake

.015

SACO LAKE | Nestled in Crawford Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Saco Lake lies directly off the Appalachian Trail. Heavily vegetated, the lake is cloaked in an array of diverse species, and flanked by steep, granite slopes.

BATHS | This project explores the relationships between the performance capacities of plinth, wall, and canopy to establish a set of design strategies that are informed by material attri-butes, construction logic, and atmospheric po-tential. The program consists of three (3) baths: a Tepidarium - 90 degrees Fahrenheit, a Caldar-ium - 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a Frigidarium - 60 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as lodging quarters for thru hikers.

DESIGN | The hiker’s journey is remembered in instances, exact points in time, moments. Al-though these experiences are very personal, the built environment can remove awareness of these

momentous instances, rendering an unchanging, banal environment. This bathhouse relies on se-lectively defining and framing nature to create interrelating and powerful instances between the built environment and nature. Situation around the creek allows the introduction of a natural and symbolic threshold. The instance of crossing the creek is one of purification, literally from a ‘dirty’ space to a ‘clean’ space, but also mentally, hearing the creek rush frames the bathing ex-perience. Light is also framed and constructed to create instances. Openings either too small or above the eye, deny the view and rather receive an instance of light. These instances are capital-ized upon two separates times, where enclosure falls away and opens wide to frame a view out over the lake and a view up towards the peak of Elephant Head.

GROW COLLECTIVE | Grow Collective aims to leverage architectural design to advocate for new modes of food growth, distribution, and education in Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

LARIMER, PITTSBURGH | This Grow Collective negotiates a number of overlapping urban scales and use scenarios. The degree of overlap in this portion of the city [Larimer] reinforces the overall ambition that Grow Collective be rooted in it’s immediate context, yet also implicated in urban agriculture systems dispersed throughout the city.

STEM | In order to foster growth in a community, there must be a base point, a place to begin, to stem from. This Grow Collective, pulling from that concept, stems from one central circulation core, a multi-use space, charged with organiz-ing all pieces of the program, it becomes an icon for the community, an icon all can engage with, regardless of their knowledge or investment in

agriculture, naturally and gradually fostering a relationship to agriculture. An all inclusive, egal-itarian approach to the design is seen in the way plants manifest themselves throughout the proj-ect. Interaction with the agriculture ranges from a simple coexistence to a full investment in the planting and growing of the plants all the way to the preparing of food made from produce grown themselves.

PLANTING | The planting strategy is to utilize a variety of plants, each group encouraging engagement with the agriculture on a different level. So that someone who may not understand the importance and benefits of growing your own food can sit on the terrace and pick a strawberry to eat, while down below someone can be picking tomatoes to roast that afternoon, while a kid sits under an orange tree to read, all engaging on different levels.

COÜP HAUS | Hoop house without top module as growing system

.031

HOOP HOUSE | Design and construct a portable and lightweight enclosure for protecting a raised garden bed during cold weather.

LARIMER COMMUNITY GARDEN | The hoop house must be easy to access. The hoop house must be easy to disassemble seasonally. The hoop house must be functional (ie. keep heat in). The hoop house must also be visually engaging to (1) the architect, (2) the gardener, (3) the community.

STEM | In order to maximize ease of use and func-tion, a gridded structure was designed to stay on the site throughout the year, providing a grow-ing structure for the plants. Although designed to remain on site all year long, the structure con-sists of two modules (A and B). The asymmet-rical module’s positions are flexible in order to allow for changes in the type and location of the plants in the bed. This is to allows for crops to be rotated seasonally to prevent depletion of the soil. The B module allows for vertical growth of

the system in the event of plants growing be-yond the first 3 ft. of the system. Plastic sheets create enclosure to keep heat in, prolonging the growing season. Velcro makes access and remov-al of the enclosure extremely easy and intuitive, something familiar to many.

Completed in collaboration with: Josh Kim, June Kin, Cesar Neri, Edward Shin, Annabelle Swain

HOOP HOUSE

DRAWING SET | Accompanying the actual hoop house was a con-struction drawing set detailing every detail through assembly and transportation.

.033

.01 | After construction drawings were finalized, the sheet spec-ifying crimps and drill locations were plotted at full scale and measured against..02 | A jig was made to make the drilling of each hole easier and more precise. Because some pipes have crimps going in both directions, this made making the jig a little harder..03 | Time on location was limited, so off site assembly was re-quired..04 | Grommets were placed in the plastic in order to let wind and water pass through, as well as let the plants breathe.
