THESIS
1Greenhouse is an exploration of a model prototype that promotes once hopeless, mistrusting and abused victims to act as agents as their own success. Relationships, perceptions and behaviors are redefi ned to rediscover, balance and reconnect survivors with the outer world allowing control and recovery towards a better and respectful life.

7Competing with many new hotels in the area, THE SMITH embraces androgenous characteristics in many of its expression. It reveals a story told by its architecture and interiors interpreted into strong geometric organization and framing emphasizing the lines and weight of the existing building. Th e mixture of traditional and contemporary components play an important role in representing the masculine and feminine qualities that will enhance the human experience for visitors.

11Inspired by her attention to detail, asymmetrical cuts and her strong contrast between hard lines and soft elements, the design focuses on pairing unique geometric shapes to create spaces where randomness and the unexpected meet expressing spontaneity, sensuality, elegance and versatility. Each geometric form, found in her collection, directly inspired the individual clusters of merchandising in the fl oor plan. Each cluster is divide by diff erent collections of the seasons, allowing each space to create and enjoy its own personality. Th e neutral palette is adapted from an oyster’s interior shell, which sets the canvas for Sarah Baardarani’s work.

Th eir love for traveling and their wonderful collection of artwork became the canvas for the design. Th roughout the space, once can fi nd a calming neutral palette rich in textures and materials that combine to create a sophisticated, chic atmosphere. Bringing in Parisian elements throughout moldings created the perfect envelope to balance both contemporary and the antiques.

19Th e competition challenge was to design a Youth Based Facility that will “fundamentally change lives”. Th e design required a redevelopment plan of the Divine Lorraine that incorporated historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and sustainability metrics, all while maintaining the current vision for the city of Philadelphia.

21Th e design for the Solar Canopy was inspired by the shape of a boomerang. Th e Solar Canopy will have a south-facing solar array of solar powered cantilevered units that seamlessly connect to each other, integrated with digitally fabricated perforated panels that will depict student artwork involving the students of McMichaels in the design process. Th is creates a great opportunity for students to learn about renewable resources and have direct interaction with such technology presenting itself as a teaching tool.

The McMichael Elementary and Middle School is located in Philadelphia’s Mantua Community. The McMichael schoolyard is undergoingmajor renovations to improve its image and enhance the learning and recreation environment for students. It is being designed as a sus-tainable site that promotes STEAM learning and play.
As part of the project, Drexel’s Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Architecture & Interiors Departmentshave collaborated to design a Solar Café. The café will have a Solar Canopy system that has been designed to produces 4 kW of peak DC power as well as provide a shaded space for students and faculty to relax and continue the learning process.
The canopy was modelled in Bentley RAM Elements. This software allows the user to apply loads, pick materials, and analyze the stressescaused by the loads. The loads to be accounted for on this structure are caused by wind, snow, and weight. Multiple wind loading scenari-os were analyzed. Materials and cross sections were chosen based on the highest stresses caused by the different loading scenarios.
There have been integrative educational opportunities with the stu-dents of McMichael throughout the design process for their school’s new schoolyard.
This project integrates the solar canopy system into the STEAM cur-riculum through the use of a Solar Lesson. The objective of the lesson is to teach students about the forms of energy the world uses, how the panels on the Solar Canopy work, and then allows students to test solar panels through a solar powered car activity.
The completed playground itself will generate an opportunity for STEAM curriculum for learning. As a whole, the playground will be-come a sustainable teaching tool for students to experience and engage in.
Microinverters were used in this canopy system design. They were chosen to optimize the power output when shading is present. Microin-verters allow for real-time, panel-level monitoring, enabling technicians to troubleshoot specifi c issues, and support installation of an energy display in the school.The 15-panel design will produce a peak power of 4.13 kWdc and 6,730 kWh per year.
Whenever shade is cast onto a solar panel it reduces the output power of that module. A shading analysis was performed to determinehow great an effect shading would have on the canopy system. Using an Iphone application, Solmetric iSV, the altitude and azimuth co-ordinates of all obstructions surrounding the site were collected and plotted onto a solar path diagram. The worst-case scenario was ana-lyzed for December 21st, the day during which the sun has its lowest peak altitude and shortest amount of sunlight. During this day, array shading will begin between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. This shading scenario will only be present during the months of November, December and January.
The Solar Cafe will have a south-facing solar array, integrated with digitally fabricated perforated panels that depict student artwork, will provide shade for tables and seating and will involve the students of McMichael in the design process. The design of the Solar Cafe aims to serve as a transition from the school to the new outdoor playground, serving as a collaborative learning space as well as a recreational spot to sit and relax.

23Th is fi xture is a system design in light and form, in which multiple units joint to make the total. Direct lighting is produced by the openings in the fi xture. Th ere is a poetic combination between spaces of intense illumination and spaces with no illumination. Th e biggest challenge was to create a design aesthetically pleasing and structurally stable, without the use of glue, producing good quality of light.

24Th is is an investigation of the Portal as both a material construction and a cultural construct. Using Portal as a process, I explored spatial conceptions, the nature of “opening” and ideas of the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.
PORTALOpportunity 1
CNC RoutingThis piece was used to study the proposed pattern, dimensionality and to see the extent of the capabilities of the CNC Router. During the process, this original piece was then used as a base for the new studies (casting and 3D printing) as a indirect comparison of the old vs. new.

CastingThis piece was used to created a mold out of the CNC routed model. The purpose of such was to create a fl exible layer to add dimensionality, texture and color.

27Th e inspiration for this design is derived from an existing pivoting gate door seen in a window production company. Th e play between the closed/opaque and the open/transparency became the perfect combination allowing the lighting inside of the structure to travel bringing out the life within. Th is door was manufactured by Air Master Inc. for a residence in Urbanización La Villa de Torrimar in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.

28Th e inspiration for this chair is a development from the curtain door designed by Matharoo Associates and the game Jenga. Th e generators for this design are uniqueness, sequence, movement, span and connection. Th is chair is meant for outdoor use.
