URBAN APIARY FALL 2007

Fishtown’s Penn Treaty Park is transformed into an into an intermediary landscape connecting the urban neighborhood to the waterfront. A theater of bees serves as a pivot point, driving a reorientation from the city grid to a grid tangent to the Delaware River. The terracing and overlap of park elements engage ecological processes, activate views, and enhance community access.Concept Model Studies: Layering and rotating grids

Park River Perspective Section:Routes from the park extend over and underthe water, suggesting a reconciliation of thebuilt and natural environments. A steppinginlet indexes the level of the river.

City Park Perspective Section: Pedestrian bridges and extensions of the crossstreets connect the park to the city physically and visually. High retaining walls and trees preserve the role of the park as a refuge.

Apiary Perspective Section: As the landscape descends to the water, terraces orient views and provide seatingfor watching the river and the beekeepingactivities.

Perspective View: Looking from courtyard out to street

SPRING 2008WITH HERNAN GARCIA AND ANETA PARIASZEVSKI

A shared internal courtyard drives the design of the affordable residential project for People’s Emergency Center in Mantua, Philadelphia. Glazed staircases face one another across the shared exterior space, encouraging interaction between neighbors and providing additional daylight. The Double House entry engages the street and the adjacent vacant lot, with the courtyard raised and set back to preserve safety and privacy.

DOUBLE HOUSE

Operable louvered skylights over the core aid in ventilation and daylight control.

Runoff is reduced by green roof absorption and a rainwater storage tank beneath thehouse.
