Center for ArchaeologyÉvora, Portugal

This site which is located in the city center of Évora, Portugal is surrounded by vast Medival and Roman walls and is adjacent to a university. The project is intended to act as a gathering focal point for the city between the civic and academic and old and new. The plaza is adjacent to the university portico and connects the park path to the street creating a �owing move-ment. The entrance to the Academic and Public Wings are joined with the cafe spilling into the exterior space. All this is created while still giving a visual and physical relation-ship to the interior greenscape and Medival wall.

In a site with an abundance of mature trees, the main concentration was to avoid the destruction of existing trees. This would also accommodate the creation of exterior spaces which relate to the tangent interior spaces. By placing the Digital Resource Center on the street edge it allows for the main entrance plaza to be used as a gathering point as well as a threshold into the park.

Habitat for HumanitiesPaterson, NJ

Fall 2011

In conjunction with Habitat for Humanities, Paterson,three lots were chosen to create homes. Two of the lotswere to attain a one family house with off-street parking, while the third lot held a two family house,one of which had to be ADA compliant. Considerationof building code/variances, pricing, mechanical systems/ passive design, and materiality had a major impact on design.

Colonnade ReskinFall 2011

Mies van der Rohe was assigned the task of designing the Colonnade in 1958-60 as the first major residential development post-war, and post-riots in Newark. Now 50 years later, the building is in need of repair with its poorly performing building envelope. This new proposed double facade allows for natural ventilation by the user, acts as a thermal buffer and additional rainscreen, diffuses ultraviolet rays, as well as a sound buffer against near by traffic.
