20. Studio Introduction : Capsized
Erosion of Riverbank creates a natural debris filter
Site Inspiration
While on the site visit I came across a small channel that had been carved into the ground from the water draining from the paved surfaces of the site. This
eroded section generated the idea of creating a building that would not only channel movement through it, but become a system for filtering different levels
of activity and usage.
In this sense the roots and tendrils of the various plants all joined together to break down the space while at the same time being the very fabric that holds
it together, creating a natural order which created a unique site experience.
Flood zones in the surrounding area
Local Flooding Zones
Being in the low-lying areas below the mountains to the west, the area in close proximity to the site is all part of the flood plain which has caused large spread
damages in past heavy rainfall events. Across the river, for the most part, is raised above to a higher plane which creates a semi-flood basin on the Pequannock
side of the Pompton River.
Most of the commercial infrastructure in place along Route 23 is subject to the lowest levels of flooding which has prompted the design challenge for th studio
to find a solution to mitigate the losses from building in a flood plane.
Typically a wood or metal gate that is raised to allow water to pass under
Landscape Inspiration : Sluice Gates
Sluice gates are typically used to control the amount of water that is able to flow through a certain system which is typically something along the lines of a channel or
linear water passageway. After the initial design problem and the site visit I found that the natural feature formed by the runoff created natural sluice box, a device
typically used in mining or in panning for gold. When used at small scale the sluice box works as a small filtering system wherein the heavy materials are trapped along
the ribs, while the dirt and water flow through the box effectively separating the two.
The gates signify a point of interaction and movement, wherein lifting them creates the point of entry into the next area which would be translated into the entryway and
circulation systems of the building.
Erosion of Riverbank creates a natural debris filter
The first assignment for the studio project this semester was to represent a portion of a
typical strip mall in terms of a physical model. The challenge was to then re-imagine the
model in a new form, to capsize the standard thoughts and redesign what the structure
and components could be in order to create a design that could be more resilient.
By capsizing the model the structure of the building became a series of ribs that could
serve as terracing methods or ways to break down the landscape and building.

6. Site Path Division :
The main link between the two
buildings is a path connecting the
two Arts Gallery spaces at the main
entrances of each building.
Smaller footpaths run over the
landscape within the parking lot to
create access points to the various
parking areas.
At the end of the parking lot is a
boardwalk path that adjoins a small
park, creating a space for small
pop-up vendors to sell their goods.

RE-Structuring Parking and Buildings: Integration
Blue Land
Intervention
For my intervention I am interested in looking at how parking and transporta-
tion can be integrated into th infrastructure of the building environment. After
the precedent set in the early 20th century, the American commercial scape
has become a pairing of the building infrstructure and transportation
infrastructure. In most cases such as the existing condition on the site, the two
are paired together as large components with little to no integration.
The site creates a unique opportunity to explore the condition as it sits on the
corner site of a major link between the townships of Wayne and Peaquannock
right at the edge of the river. The other boundary of the site is a six lan roadway
that serves as a major artery for the surrounding areas to pass through on a
regualar basis.As it stands the site currently uses the corner real estate as a
parking lot by tucking the building as close to the river as possible which
creates a dead land between the road and the building.
My intervention will follow along a path set by Austrian born architect Victor
Gruen who is better known as the father of the american mall. The site reminds
me of a work that I studied for a thesis paper which was on a corner street in
downtown LA where there was a dire need to keep a set ratio of parking to
building while at the same time a desire to keep the building low to fit into the
surrounding context. Whilethe site in Peaquannock doesn’t share all of the
same properties, it does present a unique corner condition that can be
untegrated better with the parking infrastructure to create a nevel level above
the flood plane as well as to create more availble land for park space along the
edge of the river.
Selected idea of study:
Milliron Store by Victor Gruen.
The Milliron Store worked by creating a central core that would transport customers down into the store from the parking on the
roof while also providing space for amenities that would otherwise not exist in that space. The roof had a resteraunt, childcare
center, and a massage area which were meant to integrate businesses together with the infrstracture of parking and building as
one. At the same time this move allowed the street edge of the building to remain a pedestrian pathway which meant larger side
walks and public gathering areas.
While the Milliron store was certainly located in a different type of setting, the idea of integrating businesses together with the
infrastructure needed on the site is critical for gaining symbiotic relationships. While the parking does not necessarily have to be
on the roof of the building, the ingegration of the parking in a manner beyond that of a parking lot would yield an alternative
approach to responding to the flood waters.
For the intervention what I would like to pursue is an idea that follows the form of the commerical building which is one of
adaptable building structure that can be used for whatever requirement is needed. As an example having the building be be raised
structurally to create bays that can be used for local vendors and small businesses on a week by week basis while at the same time
making an infrastructure that is usable during a flood time. While the location is not one of a downtown setting, a density of homes
could create a living collective where the residents would want to integrate with local business rather than pushing it to the borders
of the town.

bridging access and resilience
Responding to the new fema base flood elevation, the building bridges the
pedestrian link and this new datum; providing a threshold into the site
for both pedestrians and vehicles. the building’s gradual tilt to achieve
this gentle transition requires the traditional floor of a building to me
rethought as a series of stepped levels. the building’s tilt is the embod-
iment of the tension between the site’s dichotomy at multiple scales: the
highlands and piedmont, pequannock and wayne, mountains and river.
