The dual directive was to reinvigorate an urban setting that is deserted after 5 pm, while also addressing the area’s problem with low levels of educational attainment . To this end it became imperative to weave the urban fabric in such a way as to appeal to both the social and economic demographics of the area, in addition to respecting and contributing to the existing site’s surroundings.

COOKING SCHOOL RESTAURANT MARKET
ANALYSIS- no markets in the area - sale of local and organic foods- three separate but complementary business models
LOCATION- quality downtown dining experience- only one existing fine dining venue in the area
Economy
COOK EAT SHOP
REASON
Appeals to all age ranges, demographics, social and economic classes
SCHOOL ALLIANCES- accredited courses in cooking at the facility- educational assistance- hands-on training for future employment- affiliation with local schools - only 67% of Montgomery high school students graduate in 4 years (83% graduate in 6 years)
Joseph [email protected]
Through analysis I considered food as a lucrative and positive vehicle for bringing people together during the day and evening. With the social and environment of a restaurant,the educational community of a culinary school and the economic atmosphere of a farmer’s market, several local needs are addressed within the facility also with the site connected to attractions in the immediate area by pedestrian friendly routes.

S I T E P L A NThe courtyard consists of an organic garden that contributes fresh produce to the culinary school and restaurant, as well as picnic tables to be utilized by the public. With a jungle gym for children, trees, terraced landscape, and plentiful seating, visitors to the site find relaxation easily available amidst the classes and commerce.

The segment of the block post-shaded in white was the site chosen for our studio. The studio site was divided into lots, with building sites randomly assigned to class members. The red circle indicates the site I was given. The reflection and refraction of light in different types of glass played an integral part in the building design, the effect changing through-out the day and night. Situated flush between two buildings with shared walls, the site presented a perfect opportunity for a “light box” type design, highlighting the movement of people within the structure.

The class elected the center space to be green space. With this new site feature, one of the de-sign intents was to create a pedestrian passage from the new proposed green space within the block footprint to the park across the street.

PROGRAM:
S I T E P L A N
The site is located on a rural farm lake in a hot climate. Assustainability was a factor in design, I chose to situate the house hillside in order to incorporate passive cooling techniques. Additionally, the home owner is a musician who requires a practice studio that is unobtrusive to the otheroccupants incorporated into the design.

Set into the hillside, through “Earth Coupling,” the ground temperature transfers through the concrete to cool the air in the adjacent spaces. The room that does not share the bermed concrete wall is lifted off of the ground to allow airflow beneath its floor to aid in cooling. The towers act as heat chimneys, expelling hot air out of operable windows at the top via the “Stack Effect.” The tower design was also used for the studio to achieve the desired acoustics in a relatively small space.

Callaway Gardens : PINE MOUNTAIN, GABIRDS OF PREY
Mews: bird house designed to house one or more birds of prey.
The task was to design a mews and amphitheater to replace Callaway Gardens’current Birds of Prey venue. A cross-lake extension was required for the exhibitions, where the falcons fly back and forth across the lake to handlers. The amphitheater consists of a transition entry space into the audienceseating, and center stage. The sculpturaltower-like mews are positioned next to the seating looming over the audience as well as across the lake to create a visual connection between the banks of the lake.

The sculptural design is partitioned into five spaces: three falcon cages, stairs, and a well-lit preparation / maintenance room. The curvilinear, organic approach was chosen to harmonize with its environment. The sharp lines are reminiscent of the Birds of Prey withinthe structure. The mews sit on a pedestal-like bases to accentuate the sculptural qualities and to anchor the backside of the structure in the lake.
