Coursework
Design 4 | Vertical Datum
Design 4 | Horizontal Datum
Situated at the birth of Gainesville, Boulware Springs, this horizontal datum is designed as an intervention between land, water, and sky. For those wandering the Hawthorne Trail, or coming from the main road, this place is a point of congregation. People can play or rest under the shade of the pavilions, which are embedded into concrete canals. They are also welcome to venture through the canals into the angular courtyard. Those who come up from Boulware springs, directly southeast, are met with an angular facade, funneled through the courtyard, and invited onto decks protruding from the ground intervention.
On a rainy day, the canals will fill and irrigate into the spring system that flows through Gainesville. However, the facilities designed on site will also be reclaiming the water from the northwest reservoir, including a public view of the purification process.
Design 5 | UF Music Hall
UF's Music Hall has been relocated to a vital pedestrian intersection in the heart of UF's campus. Placed within the main arteries: Newell Road, Marston Library, and the Reitz Union Lawn, the new Music Hall opens to welcome every student from any major to enter and celebrate themselves as students in an orchestrated symphony as a united university. Located directly across the street, the current UF Music Hall has an enclosed demeanor, wrapped in a dense brick wall facade, isolating itself in the heart of the campus. Students are deterred from this building, save for those attending classes inside. However, the new Hall seeks to open its doors, and facade in a porous manner to create a breathable and welcoming atmosphere.
​
This space has 3 main entrances, inviting students from the East, West, or North. The ground entrances focus on accessibility at the forefront, creating circulation at the most dense points of the pedestrian flow path.

Design 6 | NYC Pantone Color Monastery
Partner: Sophie SirLouis
A melting pot of different peoples’ personalities define NYC’s atmosphere and culture. Psychologically, characteristics in culture and personality can be defined by specific color coordination through varying tones, hues, and saturations. Yet, different cultures and personalities mix every day in NYC, thus the city’s colors and pallets are continually evolving and changing. NYC is known as an epicenter of creative expression; a dynamic environment. Pantone aims to locate its nyc headquarters on Fashion Avenue, embodying a place for celebration of culture, history, and design. Assisting brands and marketing agencies in standardizing color palettes across various media, Pantone asserts itself as the color authority in America. They also utilize revolutionary technology to synthesize their curation processes. As the city shifts to more eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives, NYC wants to remain a place for gathering and exploration, but through a more holistic built environment preserving nature at the forefront. Our speculative design explores a connection between the industrious Concrete Jungle with a naturalistic built environment. Pantone would like their building to be reclaimed by nature in a controlled environment with also a maintainable, utilized manifesto. It becomes important for their facility in NYC to have gardens as a driving force in their design. 3 dye gardens will serve to stitch together central private and public sectors of Pantone’s headquarters, such as their color manufacturing lab, library, and museum. The dye garden becomes a visual and spatial threshold to engage the public in conversation with scientists on the bigger picture of curating natural dye for Pantone’s standardized color pallets. The garden sparks curiosity in the public about the nature of color curation, while fulfilling the scientific purpose of being an active and sustainable research initiative for Pantone to explore relying more on natural dyes rather than synthetic curation. The museum will explore the history of natural color pigments, curation, dyes, as well as their historical social implications between classes and cultures. The museum will invigorate the atmosphere of Pantone as a true color authority, which serves to reconcile with the history and future of color manufacturing. The museum and library serve to promote public education on the history and future of color in art, media, and overall culture as a whole.
