The ribbon wraps the existing intersection edges, hence this  reveals an urban connection to the Sprint center. Moreover, this fragmentation allows for a shifting experience. In addition, this urban space is adjcent to the street car platform stop, as this allows for pediestians to stop and wonder as it is easily accessible.  This urban proposal includes a retail, office, resturant, public gallery and a cafe on the main floor.  The main amenibies is adjcent to an apartment tower, this allows for a mix-use and interaction.

Initially, the required programs were categorized into three different levels of volume: Silent Zone, Intermediate Zone, and Loud Zone. Naturally the ER, Medical & Diagnostic Services were placed in the silent zone. Moreover, the indoor and outdoor Performance Auditorium was categorized as the Loud Zone, while the Intermediate Zone was the Café and Atrium that act as a connector between the Silent and Loud Zones. 

The project began with investigating how the freestanding emergency Clinic would influence the fluidity and accessibility in the community that was presented to us. The first design decision was to relocate the site closer to Vandiver Drive, this allowed for quicker accessibility for ambulances from state road 63.  Also, this would lessen the sound of the ambulance from disturbing residence in the community. 

    Furthermore, the design decision allow for closer access from the commercial are to the left of the site. A sidewalk access was considered in the hopes that people could walk from the commercial area to the outdoor performance auditorium, as well as the medical services. Moreover, the site closer to Vandiver Drive had a site level change of 15 feet, which was carefully considered as apart of the placement of the programs and their levels of volume. . 

Moreover, the medical services were designed on the lower first level, and the auditorium on the same level of Vandiver Drive. Hence, people of the community would be able to walk from Vandiver Drive straight into the outdoor as well as the indoor performance auditorium. The roof of the auditorium would attract people’s attention from Vandiver Drive. Moreover, the change in level allow for the outdoors performance auditorium to be submerged into the landscape. Therefore, providing easy access from the outdoor auditorium into the atrium and medical services.

Music therapy has been shown to be an efficient and valid treatment option for medical patients with a variety of diagnosis. Music therapy can be used to address patients needs related to respiration, chronic pain, physical habitation, diabetes, headaches, cardio vascular conditions, surgery, and obstetric, amongst others. Music is a form of sensory stimulation, which provokes responses due to the familiarity, predictability and feelings of security associated with it.

I really want to continue doing architectural projects like this, that anyone of any background and financial status can experience. It brought a lot of good energy into the community and even among us.

UNIT   A Studio - 488 sq.ft, B 1 Bed 1 Bath -667 sq.ft, C 2 Bed 2 Bath - 952 sq.ft, D 3 Bed 3 Bath - 1,290 sq.ft

It was important to have a variety of apartment units as this address the growing demographics in East Boston. The apartment units are staggered as this allows for residents to not only enjoy a private balcony, but to feel as if their apartment is their own space. This staggered design adds to the vibrancy throughout the housing complex. It was also important that units A, B, C, and D be equaling placed. The core gives access to three separate units. This design strategy allows for residents to feel a sense of independences and easy access in and out of their unit.

The project aim to allow space to travel and transform by planes and surfaces. Part of the analysis was to look at the edges and moments of pause around the site in order to achieve fluidity. The strategies include a center connective space for public gatherings and a continuous greenway path connection. The building mass closes to the Expressway were design to accommodate the heavy mass of the E Boston Expressway. East Boston’s current building topology is mostly 2-4 stories; therefore the two south building blocks are only 4 stories. It was important that the scale of the project remain cohesive to the rest of the surrounding.

Initially, the exposure of an edge, which later reveals the operation of 6 spatial fragments with in the spatial core of the Muller House. The edge uncovers a connection between walls, stairs, and floor bases. Each fragment consists of a spatial volume that folds from a base, through a stair adjacent to a wall. Each fragment can be identified as separate extraction, however the fragments each connect, either by a continuous wall, connective stair or floor base.

The craft of the display was also considered, the placement of the physical fragments reveals an additional plane view that is not present in any of the drawings. Furthermore, the Muller House contains a vertical stairway with a landing in the middle; this signature design, forms a vertical movement between levels while the edge reveals the path, which connects the vertical movement to the central core.

The network of tree collects the particulate matter filtered from each tree above the ground then transports it underground in the city of Beijing. The placement of the trees in the urban context imitate the composition of a natural forest. Over a period of time the high concentration of PM 2.5 in the atmosphere will diminish. The Tree filters polluted air and releases clean air. Together, The Trees restores the balances the urban air as this is vital to the health and wellness of humans, animals, organisms, and vegetation.

What sets Pina apart from other contemporary dancers and choreographers is that she sites her dance in urban settings, taking the urban landscape and turning it into a transitory sequence for conventional body forms and hand motions. Observers would experience a spatial connection across distances and levels such as the highline, Hudson River and the cityscape of Manhattan. As the audiences are sociably active, the dance transitions into a fantastical, surreal like experience. Furthermore, dance has the potential to exist outside the perimeters of a conventional theatre.

“When I first began choreographing, I never thought of it as choreography but as expressing feelings. Though every piece is different, they are all trying to get at certain things that are difficult to put into words. In the work, everything belongs to everything else - the music, the set, the movement and whatever is said.” Pina

Push and pull while creating balance, hence eliminating mundane walls, windows and doors. Alternating motions between dancers- tension between fabric and wire, non linear framework of thought to create new design approaches-expand the limits of dance platform

This exploration supports the notion that every day urban spaces have the potential to be used as an artistic platform for dance performances. By exploiting natural phenomena’s from Pina Bausch into the urban context, observers would enhance the experience by becoming part of the non-linear narration of the dance.

The project is a composition of ramps intersecting at difference levels. These moments form a continuous rhythm of movement. The inclination is a peeling away of the landscape surface, allowing inhabitable space to form.

Moreover, this continuous rising and falling promotes unpredictable changes to occur. This motion gradually slows down to allow for a gathering to occur, hence a public pool is formed. Therefore, the challenge as to how the architecture can become part of the existing landscape is explored through the continous moving slopes.

This building responds to a strategy of positioning Tudela as an R&D hub for the region within a network of research centers connected with local universities, public and private partners, and companies. Current research on connectomics is, mostly, computational. This building introduces a programmatic component of a large space to house a working physical model of the human brain or similar didactic exhibition that reflects the most current research in the field at the moment. The nature of this space is that it will be at times open to the public and, in revealing the ongoing groundbreaking scientific work, highly dynamic.
