THE RIVERSIDE RESORT JACKSONVILLE, FL.

PROJECT BRIEF

The city of Jacksonville, FL has been conducting Master Plan studies trying to establish ways to connect their residential, sports district, and downtown areas together for several years. Here at Florida A & M University, the Fall 2014 Graduate Design Studio was asked to conduct a similar study that proposed building, and public space ideas that will establish better connections. Some of those proposals include high rise residential buildings, hotels, branch libraries, a university district, aquarium, and mixed use building district.

The building proposal for this project is The Riverside Resort. which is one of the various resorts or residential buildings apart of the master plan proposal. The site is located at the riverfront promenade and the intersection of Franklin Street and Gator Bowl Blvd.

Design Intent:The concept for the design was inspired by the human brain. The brain is said to have a logical side (left) and the intuitive side (right). This is repre-sented in the building where the rigid elements represent the logical side and the curved elements representing the intuitive side. The design have a harmonious characteristic that can be seen in the ways the curved elements are merging with the other spaces, creating a flow of spaces like streams connecting to land. The building scale is large in proportion according to its immediate context. In terms of human interaction, persons will experience walking into a grand space throughout The duality within the design was also expressed by the juxtaposition of the curved elements merging with the cubed element. This informed the building visually as well as physically, as it concretizes Architecture from thought to form.

Design Intent: “Architecture is a conversation” The diachronic approach was to be expressed using the contextual basis as the driving force behind the final product. The design objective was to design a building relating to the urban fabric. Several paradigms was applied to the design. The Alphabet building concept was used to derive the form, using letters L, O, and U. The building was to be analyzed by the Urban Wall concept, initiated by Steven Holl. The design was influenced by Le Corbusier’s approach to architecture; this can be seen as conceptions of space are transformed and merged to provide a diachronic experience. The materiality on the structure was closely related to the building context which is predominantly brick and concrete. The structure has properties of texture, width, and height. The variations of width and height are supported with certain materi-als that signify the uses of the spaces. It also dictates what is public and private, as well as shared spaces. Using this approach further enhances the continuity of the structure as it relates to its immediate surroundings.

AVERY FISHER HALLFACADE STUDY

PROJECT BRIEFAvery Fisher Hall is located in New York, NY as part of the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts Plaza. The hall is known for housing various notable events in the city and a frequent location for graduation cere-monies.The design objective for this assignment was to redesign the existing lobby area as well as the façade of the concert hall, while integrating a series of building systems. Upon completing a series of sketch analy-ses and research, the final facade design was inspired by design principles Movement and Rhythm.The notion of movement and rhythm was extended to the interior, displaying varying bridges the overlap in a weaving motion.
