Train StationThis project was an introduction to both scale and proportion. The project intent was to create an environment that �ts both the human scale and the mass transit scale with respect to both size and speed. The concept was to incorporate the symmetrical trajectory of the train as a means of way �nding for visitors. The study also explored the relationship to urban to suburban by incorpo-rating usable exterior spaces rather than a just a commuter parking lot.

Film Maker’s Retreat

Based on the movie “Fargo” this project took inspiration from a study into the artistic language the producer’s used in creating the movie. Speci�cally I looked at the relationship between the physical environment and the characters this translated architecturally into looking at what shaped southwest Detroit architecture and more speci�cally the architectural innovations the auto industry produced. I took theories and practices of Albert Kahn when creating the addition to an existing old train station.

Detroit Builder’s WorkshopAfter an interview with a local Detroit CDC this project emerged in response to the overwhelming destruction in Detroit neighborhoods. The intent was to help a neighborhood revitalize itself by creating a center that would provide for a community space, a learning space, and a materials space. Through research of the exiting neighborhood the site (an existing closed high school) was chosen based mainly on location as it provided advertisement space with access to freeway views and a central location within the neighborhood. The project became a work of subtraction rather than addition due to size and deterioration of the existing building.

Warren MarketDuring the programming stage of this project our studio met with city o�cials to determine the needs of this southern Warren area. As a group it was determined that in this area of low income neighborhoods a revitalization of the necessity of food may invite community involvement. In response the locally owned grocery store was reprogrammed and renovated to include an open air farmers market, a larger fresh fare section, a community garden, and surrounding community space.

Detroit, MI Spring 2010 Prof. Giovanni

This was a study in how to make connections in Detroit between areas that have been disjointed due the bisecting highway system. The speci�c site was an area that was split by Gratiot Ave. and I-375. The solution was to create an urban edge with buildings that spanned across the expressway, and extended the urban edge beyond the buildings by creating a glass wall that spanned across the rest of the site, this would allow for

advisement space and induce a feeling of closeness without eliminating light and views of the city. I also raised some of the buildings above the surface plane to create a plaza; this allowed the complex of buildings to evoke a sense of place for visitors.
