AMANDA KRACZKOWSKY ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2012

vivacious 1. full of spirit and animation; lively or vital2. having or displaying tenacity of life

(adj)

In order to engage the senses of the user, architecture must be vivacious. The animated spirit of the form and the composition of the structure must be visually captivating for those who immerse themselves within the space. The transitions throughout a building should be a harmonious marriage of functionality and stimulating spatial progression.

Vivaciousness also refers to the ability of a being to endure and survive within an environment. The greatest architectural works exude an understanding of their surroundings and are adaptive to the changing needs of their users. To ensure future growth and sustainability, we now must address not only the needs of people but also the demands of nature. We must find a way to create an endurable structure within our natural environment while still main-taining a practical application of spatial integrity and program.

In the past few years I have come to understand duality of archi-tecture both in its artistic expression and its functional foundations. A building should not only speak to its users in structure and shape but it should speak of its vernacular. I have come to appreciate the natural environment not only as a source of inspiration for a building but as a driver for the entirety of the design. The vivacity which nature exudes in its rejuvenation, growth and development must be the driving force behind creating lasting, captivating and sustainable architecture.

the beginning developmental concept by which this studio was orchestrated began with the under-standing of systematic parking decks. through exploration of circulation and by understanding ve-hicular and pedestrian movement, the structures became foundations for explorative interventions.

studio iii project location: Rive Gauche, Paris, Franceprogram: multipurpose, tram/bus station & market

oasis urbaine (urban oasis) utilized a prime location at the end of the Avenue du France in Paris’s up-and-coming Rive Gauche district to provide a multi-modal train, tram and bus station for the young neighborhood. inspired by the idea of movement and the post modern green buildings set to be constructed in the area by 2020, oasis urbaine included a naturally growing skin for sustainability as well as an outdoor open-air market for users to openly interact with their community members.

the Rive Gauche district of Paris, France is located in the southeast corner of the city, balancing the equally modern district of La Defense in the northwest corner. the highly developed and popular sector of La Defense boasts what the Rive Gauche sector currently lacks; a connection to the hu-man scale regardless of the monumentality of the structures. the Rive Gauche is an impressive ex-ample of juxtaposition between the classic historic sector of Paris and a modern atmosphere, yet a connection to the human scale and natural environment would prove crucial in the design.

the rive gauche contains an adequate amount of vegetation, yet does not provide any true in-teractive green space or usable parks for visitors and residents to utilize. the area also lacks a major staple of french life, the outdoor air market or ‘marche.’ in order to maximize the func-tionality of the twin sites, the larger trapezoidal site became home to a multi-modal train de-pot with a connecting bridge to the open air marche and park located on the smaller site.

Inspiration Images

Oasis, A pleasant or peaceful area or period in the midst of a di cult, troubled, or hectic place or situation. Creating an Oasis amongst hectic urban life will provide a place people are drawn to.

Tent Structure, Provides shade for people waiting or passing by. The user is a racted to these forms and ones similar due to its safe and homey nature. People will gather in places with this structure because they feel protected.

Marche, Serves as a traditional Market place where a variety of goods can be sold. The trainstation needs this in uence due to the lack of grocery stores in the area. A Farmers Market of fruits, vegetables, and plants will a ract locals and travelers alike.

studio ii project location: Bywater, New Orleans, Louisiana program: community center

the bywater community center was heavily influenced by the surrounding geographic context of new orleans, the vibrant music and festival culture and the tumultuous conditions still impacting the community from Hurricane Katrina. music and the flow of the Mississippi River, the backbone upon which New Orleans was established, became the main driving force for creating a fluent circulation path throughout the building. the community center utilized an existing horse stable structure and included a program with a cafe, day care center, meeting hall and outdoor amphitheater.

Bywater Community Center Promoting Community Spirit in New Orleans, Louisiana

The ClientThe Bywater Neighborhood Association is in need of a place to hold community activities and local events.

Design TheoryThe design is based on the Japanese principle ‘shakkei’, defined as borrowed scenery or landscape. The original agricultural land division of New Orleans plantations is known as the Arpent System.

Design ConceptThe musical keywords used to influence the design are octave, rhythm, and dynamic. Their relationship to water and its fluid qualities are the basis for the overall design.

Design IntentThe intention is to create a highly dynamic, functional program. A modern building intervention, representative of the fluidity of water and the sound of music, will provide a connection within the two separate halves of the Bywater community.

New Orleans, LouisianaLocated at the mouth of the Mississippi River and on the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans, Louisiana has a rich history of trade, shipping, music and culture. Sedimentary silt shapes the landscape of the city and creates differences in topography of 40 feet above and 15 feet below sea level.

BywaterBywater is located in the Upper Ninth ward of the city grid. Bywater sits three feet above sea level and is bordered by the Industrial Canal to the East and the Mississippi River to the South.

Site1000 Poland Avenue consists of a narrow stable building and an adjacent green space. The location is on the corner of Poland Avenue and North Rampart Street.

Scope of ProjectThe design will include the renovation of the existing stables building and adding new space through a secondary structure and a redesign of the outdoor area.

the bywater community, located south of the infamously flooded lower 9th ward, received moder-ate damage from recent Hurricane Katrina. its proximity to the Mississippi River and its placement on slightly higher ground saved the area from receiving the same catastrophic damage as its neighbor-ing districts. however, due to blight caused by the displacement of new orleans citizens, the area’s community spirit has not be revived back to its original status. through the construction of a com-munity center at bywater, it was the hope of our studio to reestablish this ward’s vivaciousness.

the design theory of ‘shakkei’, meaning ‘borrowed landscape’ in Japanese became a primary driv-er for utilizing the new orleans landscape within the design. drawing also from the city’s rich musi-cal history, the three key musical terms octave, rhythm and dynamic were used as concept drivers. based on the landmasses formed by the mississippi river’s water flow and this musical terminology, the goal became to create a modern intervention on an existing historic structure by linking the cul-tural history of the bywater neighborhood with its promising future.

studio i project location: downtown Savannah, Georgia program: student housing renovation

following the concept of human proportioning and accessibility, the renovation of SCAD’s Ogletho-rpe House dormitory became a relavent concept to explore when designing student housing in rela-tion to comfort and needs of the student population. the existing structure, a 1960’s motel adorned with wrought iron and art deco detailing, provided the bones beneath a total exterior transforma-tion and built addition. the new design included flexible suite-style student rooms as well as more traditional double rooms, a new lobby and adjacent green space and a green skin composed of ventilated louver systems for natural ventilation.

beginning the first official studio course with a site located in our school’s city provided a well-grounded knowledge of the existing cultural context of Savannah. the analysis of the site included the student’s perspective on housing, which became crucial consideration in a practical design. the input of student clients in conjunction with our own knowledge of existing dormitory conditions in savannah became the driving force in addressing the necessary programmatic components for a dormitory renovation.

fund. iii project location: downtown Savannah, Georgia program: residence & 1st floor retail

utilizing the existing historical context of Savannah’s downtown commercial center, the residence at 215 w. broughton with leasable retail space introduced specific interaction with a client and explored problem solving in order to meet their specific needs. spatial configuration of rooms and openings was based on the desires of the client and overall exterior design remained dependent on matching the surrounding downtown facade syles and materiality. proposed structure

fund. ii project location: downtown Savannah, Georgia program: rock climbing gym

the climbing gym on factor’s walk and its accompanying programmatic requirements became the first exploration into the systematic skill of managing spaces and their adjacent connections. func-tional square footages and the first inclusion of a real-life site made this the first practically applied project I had explored. programmatic elements included a three-story rock climbing wall, party and meeting rooms, locker and restroom areas and specific mechanical/storage needs.

fund. i project location and program theoretical

this course introduced the first practical application of tectonics and structural integrity within the field of architecture. through the exploration of various spatial configurations, solid and voided el-ements and a concrete repeatable floor plan, an overall structure and conceivable building was formed. steps to complete this project included the study of primary, secondary and tertiary spaces, application of entryways and circulation, application of a tower to achieve monumentality and the construction of a base to ensure a secure connection within a theoretical site.

c.t. ii project location: downtown Savannah, Georgia program: 1st floor retail, 2nd & 3rd floor office space

in order to fully understand the concept of structural assembly and the stringency of building codes, in groups of three we planned for a commercial building on broughton street. design developments included site location and accompanying elevations, universal accessibility requirements for spac-ing, structural sections and layout and subsequent structural detailing.

collaborative project: three students all enrolled in architectural studio ii & construction technology ii

amanda kraczkowsky: primary coding and zoning, elevation design, main steel structural system design, accompanying door jamb detailing

anna gosselin: coding and zoning, elevations, main universal accessibility design, site cast concrete system, accompanying mullion connection detail

arielle villardo: coding and zoning, elevation design, main site location analysis, precast concrete system, accompanying door head connection detail
