This 30+-story student residence on Chestnut Street in University City, Philadelphia will be the nation’s tallest student apartment building when complete. The curtain wall pattern is accented and interrupted by several double-height spaces, which serve as common spaces for the residents. Each lounge contains the same kit-of-parts, but because of the particulars of the floor plans each has a distinct personality. Several of the lounges are S-shaped, and pass through the entire width of the building. Others are located on the corners and open up to magnificent views of Philadelphia.

For this world-reknown consulting firm, this new regional office would be an experiment: Flexible semi-private spaces and dynamic shared spaces would predominate, instead of individual cellular offices and seas of open workstations, as had been typical. Great amount of effort was invested meeting with user groups and committees to be sure to get right the character and function of the new typologies. The space--a concrete core and shell--was also only half the size of the previous office, so the challenge was to create compact, yet visually dynamic connections across two narrow floor plates. The scale and character of this animated space--the “zipper”--which runs transversely and vertically across the two floors, encourages cross-sectional and planimetric connections and interacations by using dynamic lighting and materials in the floor and ceiling.

Fin’s Japanese Sushi & Grill - Project PhotosBoston, MA Studio Luz Architects
A long and narrow space--formerly a camera store--in Boston’s Back Bay is transformed into a spare yet comfortable sushi restaurant with the introduction of a series of origami-like steel ribs. This armature morphs from column sheathing into column capital, into a beam and light fixture that vaults over the dining area. On the other side of the space, it unfolds again into a self-supporting table, complete with an integrated “soy sauce shelf” and brackets. The design concept is inspired by the rhythmic passageways created by Japanese Tori gates of the Fushimi Inari Shrine; ceremonial structures used to define thresholds to sacred spaces. Tori gates are donations from local merchants. These cultural references, gate-like elements, define the overall space layout, as well as support the tables, provide ambient lighting, and modulate circulation.

Hundreds of pieces were custom-fabricated in cold-rolled steel within small tolerances. Several guages of steel were used depending on varying structural requirements throughout the armature. The millwork is also custom designed to fit the narrow space and the standards of the demanding sushi chefs. The budget allowed for few luxuries, so a handcrafted spare aesthetic fit the client’s needs perfectly. The construction techniques deployed are similar to that of folk art folding techniques of Origami, also referred as the “paper of the spirits” to fabricate the gate structures. Fascinated by the shimmering effects of water and optical illusions, the ceiling beams have an illuminated pattern intended to give the sensation of bending and motion between the beams. The combination of optical illusions and offset placement of columns serve as a foil to the overall tunnel effect created by the proportions of the interior.

Weill Cornell Medical CollegeRedevelopment Study - Plans and RenderingsBallinger
This study looks at long-range challenges that the Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan has to address as its physical assets evolve, and proposes a near-term strategy toward a long-range solution. Initiated in December 2009, the study spanned nine months and included interviews with senior leader-ship and regular interactive planning meetings between the committee and the design team. It serves to propose sites for new construction, identify strategies for growing clinical facilities, prepare for program growth and the introduction of new programs, address broad-based capital concerns, direct and refine the College’s identity and presence, and inspire the College community by making visual the new image of Weill Cornell.

Students do not live by the clock. How could daily habits, biological time, and the individual body affect the spatial configuration of students’ spaces and communities? What are the limits of architecture in its ability to accomodate infinite possibilites?

Each unit, like its occupant, has a temperamant. Between the private introvert and the sociable extrovert, there is an infinite array of possibilities. But since the units, like the students, will form attachments and relationships, they must be able to aggregate functionally and efficiently. They share an internal logic that allows this peaceful coexistence.

The student body within the LIVING Room expands and contracts according to the surfaces and structure that it inhabits. Does the space prescribe the body, or does the body prescribe the space? In this case, both are true.
