Joseph A. Coln | Professor Rafael Gmez-Moriana | CIEE Architecture + Design | Fall 2014
The ordinary building is the type of edifi ce cities are
mostly made up of. In Barcelona, as in most large European
cities, these kinds of buildings typically contain a vertical
programmatic distribution of housing above ground-level
commercial spaces (sometimes there is offi ce space in-
between the commercial space and the housing), and parking
in the basement and is usually designed in the regional
vernacular style of the period.
The project thus sought to design a contemporary
edifi ce in a historic setting. The proposal does so by rotating
to give residents a dynamic way to live, exposed to light,
views, and greenery at every eff ective opportunity.
Another benefi t the unique rotation yields is an
innovative method of determining units for a mixed-income
building population.

My thesis project, entitled Fostering Heterogeneity, Fostering Heterogeneity, Fostering Heterogeneity
started by focusing on how income inequality is a global
phenomenon that sees people of diff erent incomes living
further apart enabled by automobile-driven suburbanization.
By focusing in the United States of America, this wealth
stratifi cation had to be understood in context of an abhorrent
racialized history. Even with interventions in underprivileged
communities such as public housing, wealth inequality
and residential segregation have persisted. 1128 Spring
Gardens refocuses mixed-income housing by hyperlocalizing
unit organization while engaging communal spaces in
emphasizial manner. The hopes is that the project can be
a prototype in de-emphasizing the nature of homogeneity
present in low-density living and spur further remediation of
socioeconomic segregation.

Orienting roofs to southern sky maximizes effi ciency of solar panels that helps off set energy costs for (most fi nancially stressed) residents
Integrating rainwater collection systems from roofs can serve water usage needs such as for the gardens, pools, and laundry facilities that helps off set utility costs for (most fi nancially stressed) residents
Maximizes unit effi ciency by providing residences with organizational hierarchy without sacrifi cing communal space quality
Increases interaction between assorted communal spaces while maintaining physical separation
Variety of programming distributed throughout project achieves access for all residents to all spaces
Encourages self-segregation of diff erent occupants not by race or class, but by interest-motivated factors = demographic distinguishers
Culturally relevant spaces should be included; i.e. spaces that are desirable to a wide range of people, despite race, class, religion, etc. and contextually applicable (Research indicates that sports fanaticism has these characteristics with Philadelphias strong sports culture, thus having a sports bar is suitable) = demographic integrator
Instead of stratifying wealth vertically, integrating unit wealths horizontally (per fl oor) alleviates socioeconomic segregation typical in other schemes
Establishes an organizational scheme that is responsive to mixed-income projects economic realities
Units targeted towards high-income families; households earning between above 150% of AMI
Joseph A. Coln | Professor Scott Bernhard | Thesis Design Studio | Fall 2015 - Spring 2016
Instead of double loaded corridors, having circulation corridors that open to large (outdoor) space allows
further penetration of light and ventilation Having the circulation core as a datum where user
paths can be incidentally determined by occupants creates opportunities for passive interaction
Units and residents are visually connected across multiple levels
IBy having structure independent of supporting walls with a grid of reinforced structural columns, diff erent
sized units can be accommodated in the same structural bay
Off setting exteriors of units from faade creates ample outdoor space for each unit
Allows further penetration of natural light and ventilation into units
Extends health and economic benefi ts of all outdoor space to all occupants
Unit-level control of respective light, ventilation, and visibility preferences
Dynamism of faade obscures unit sizes (and thus wealth of occupants there-within)
Communal Spaces have interiorly situated louvers to retain direct user control
Units alloted for low-income families using a tax subsidy; households earning no more than 50% of
AMI(Area Median Income)
Units alloted for essential workers where it is diffi cult to secure housing in reasonable proximity to work;
earning between 50% and 80% of AMI
Units rented or owned by people who pay market rent. No subsidy is alloted; households usually earning
between 80% and 150% of AMI

The Cuban Consulate of New Orleans explored designing
with confl ict in cities in a potentially contentious, fortifi ed
architecture project.
The proposal seeks to situate the consulate in dense
networks of existing consulates, federal buildings and
economic offi ces while also trying to activate the post-
modern ruin of Charles Moores Piazza dItalia.
Distinguishing programmatic elements into separate
buildings creates an analogous courtyard, Plaza de Cuba.
Incorporating residences and a rooftop cabana (complete
with a rooftop pool) the Consulates design seeks to
accommodate employees, engage the American public, and
keep visitors and workers alike safe.

The Cooperative Community Kitchen & Productive Garden
project was a site redevelopment on an abandoned
post-industrial site, which included kitchen classrooms,
productive gardens, and a market for produced goods. We
addressed issues of collectivity and community at a time of
Spanish economic crisis.
It was critical to draw on Spanish traditions of
community food preparation and eating as well as exploring
new initiatives that contemplate cooking classes and urban
agriculture as a means of social inclusion for diff erent groups
including immigrants and the elderly.
The proposal seeks to accomplish this through site
zoning based on geometric principles to result in the most
eff ective spatial usage & enjoyment.

This project was an exercise in diagrammatic
analysis, with New Orleans as our case study.
By experimenting with various rendering
techniques, New Orleans, and by extension, any urban area
could be understand through diff erent municipal systems.
Synthesizing diagrams in visual appealing and
informative diagrams was the second phase in understanding
architectural analysis and urban environments.

This next phase of the same project
delves further into urban analysis by examining a specifi c
New Orleans neighborhood and to investigate potential
discoveries with our syntheses.
The Trem is a unique district that is one of the fi rst
neighborhoods in New Orleans outside of the French Quarter,
and the fi rst one specifi cally for free persons of color.
The research presents a tragic story however.
Through diagrams and a synthetic model, Trems story
reveals the governments unregulated use of eminent
domain, especially in vulnerable, minority districts. This
analysis revealed the questions cities continue to face in the
name of urban renewal.

With the choice to situate the Building Arts Institute, a
center for engaged learning and school of the Building
Arts (carpentry, masonry, metalworking, etc.) in either the
Valence, St. Roch, or Central City neighborhoods,
Central City was the clear choice.
Understanding the historical and diverse
sociological context within the district of Mardi Gras Indians
and musicians daylighting as craftsmen, the Institute could
celebrate that history while training students for the future.
Adding in additional programing of music spaces,
such as recording studios and practice spaces, would only
further connect these legacies and solidify the BAI purpose.

The project for my comprehensive studio was a
TANZAKADEMIE, an academy for contemporary dance,
supported and run by the New Orleans Ballet Organization.
The school would create exciting opportunities to
bring dance artists and communities together, by training bring dance artists and communities together, by training bring dance artists and communities together
and educating students from around the world. The center
seeks to challenge the perceptions of the art form and the
dance profession by introducing fresh styles and approaches.
My proposal seeks to respond to the context of
the cultural, artsy Warehouse District by adapting to the
neighborhood scale and the industrial and commercial
identity of the district. After researching various forms of
dance and how to accommodate them successfully, the
programming orients itself accordingly and has the service
spaces supporting the major dance spaces of the academy.

1730 Clio Street is located in the historic Central City
neighborhood, that is famous for being integral to the citys
Mardi Gras Indian traditions as well as some of the fi rst and
longest lasting Black Social Aid & Pleasure clubs. Yet, as
with much of New Orleans, Central City entered a decline
beginning in the 1970s and with the aid of Katrina in 2005,
much of this dense, bustling neighborhoods density, and by
extension, street life, has been destroyed.
New Orleans is having its Renaissance however,
and organizations such as the Felicity Redevelopment Inc. are
changing and contributing to restoring New Orleans.
The 1730 Clio Street proposal works with Felicity
as it seeks to restore density. Dubbed The Boathouse, this
proposal is a contemporary duplex for a historic context.

1424 Baronne Street is an endeavor in restoring
density. By being a mixed-income, mixed-use development,
the proposal adds a physical restoration to the Central City
neighborhood and also allows for a communal reinvigoration
into the neighborhood. The various sizes of units can fi t the
needs of wide diverse range of families, the rooftop garden
acts as gathering space, and a bar & cafe can profi t from
the increased activity. A banquet room is included in the
proposal and can be used for everything from wedding
receptions to community meetings.
Its a smart structure too; coated in a sheeted metal,
the building is climatically well-regulated. Water from the
roofs drains into gutters and rain screens that fi lter and
irrigate the gardens and green spaces. Plenty of trees and ivy
plants provide suffi cient shade to keep outdoor spaces cool.
All around, the proposal seeks to adapt itself and plug into
the Central City neighborhood.

As a Tulane City Center Public Interest Design Fellow, I had
the privilege of being assigned to faade reNEW. faade
reNEW is a project that incentivizes business and property
owners to revitalize their storefront faades in four targeted
corridors in the city via a reimbursable grant program.
Tulane City Center worked with NORA (the New
Orleans Redevelopment Authority) led by Melissa Lee
and CLIO Associates, vis--vis founder Beth Jacobs, as we
provided design assistance to the business owners in order to
strengthen their applications.
By researching historical documentation,
examining existing urban context, and meeting with the
owners, we were able to present designs that restored the
integrity of buildings (of varying conditions), provided much
needed face-lifts (via project proposals), and
met the desires of the owners.

The fi rst phase of this project was a comparative analysis
between a complex organic specimen and a precedent
work of architecture. Rendered here is a pomegranate and
Corbusiers Villa Baizeau.
The Second Phase was extracting the diagrammatic
analysis into the physical and digital realms so as to
understand the systems at work in the building and reveal it
in a visually appealing and informative manifestation.

Using an exquisite object, (in which I chose a
simple golden door lock) we were to engage in the practice
of drafting by analyzing the kinetics, materiality, and
construction of our chosen object into artfully produced
drawings. An exhibition case derived from the drafted
drawings was abstractly constructed to illustrate the kinetics
and operations of the object. Digital work was utilized to
further enhance and interpret the understanding of the
exquisite object, as well as the introduce the fundamental
application and diff erent operations in
Photoshop and Illustrator.

The SCLC Interpretive Center was a service learning design
partnership with Felicity Redevelopment Inc., TRUDC
(Tulane Regional Urban Design Center), and SCLC (Southern
Christian Leadership Conference). The project was designed
to celebrate the SCLCs anniversary and provide a public
congregation space, commemorating the SCLCs past and
celebrating the future.
Designed to be a gentle, contextual development
in the Central City neighborhood, my proposal seeks to
encourage local usage while also allowing for a variety of
programming. It also incorporates other memorial elements

Joseph A. Coln | Professor Grover Mouton | Urban Studies Elective: Design Urbanism | Spring 2015
In this interpretative design seminar in partnership
with TRUDC (Tulane Regional Urban Design Center), we
designed an urban plan for the Chinese city of Jintang.
Though Jintang is a small town located an hour
Northwest of Chengdu, projections indicate it will see rapid
growth and is in need of a comprehensive urban design
strategy. Orienting the plan to three universities, the old city,
and the coalescing rivers was fundamental to design success.
Thus, my proposal seeks to distribute amenities
and zones in a diverse eff ective way such as having the urban
wetlands oriented on the north and south ends of the design
to remediate water pollution and provide public green space,
while the zones seek to provide eff ective density for optimal
mass transit usage. Recreational and educational amenities
are situated in correspondence with city services to yield an
optimal quality of life for all Jintang residents.
