GALT RESIDENTIAL
HOUSING
This group project involves the design of a local residential establishment and focuses on unit plan layout and the use of engaging public space. Capitalizing on surrounding views of the river, the units are configured as tiered communal terraces. Shared rooftop gardens provide additional space to accommodate a variety of functions.

Situated on the Grand River, this residency is proposed as a grant program for artists to develop their creative work. The accommodations revolve around the relationship between living and working for the creative individual. Through the separation of these aspects, two unique spaces are imagined; the living quarters and the open concept studio. The outdoor space is then integrated as a community park that also acts as exhibition space to showcase completed artwork.

An entry for the Structural Steel Education Foundation Design Competition of 2015. The competition theme was “Recycling” and encouraged entries to conceive new uses for steel in architectural form. Convexium Piega is designed as an outdoor concert space. By recycling the lattice boom frame of a crane, the structure is reconfigured as a transportable canopy. It can be easily folded down by manipulating the segmented arches to fit inside standard shipping containers.

STEP 1
Arch members are concisely measured to collapse. The resting position is on cement blocks with rubber bumpers. This allows for easy transportation. The dimensions fit in standard shipping containers.
STEP 2 STEP 3
The first arch is erected manually. This then acts as a member to provide vertical leverage to pull up the remaining arches.
The remaining steel members are interconnected and pull up using a mechanized system, which then unfold remaining members into the final dome form. Tensile members must then be anchored into the ground to maintain structural integrity.

THE HIVE
This library engages its users through the reinvention of the traditional concept of a bookshelf and the radical approach to circulation. The core of the building is transformed into a wall of books penetrating through floor plates. The conventional architecture of separate floors is replaced by the implementation of a continuous ramp that wraps around the centrally organized books.
![Page 19: Joshua Giovinazzo / Architecture + Design / 2015](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020719/579070821a28ab68749dd277/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CIRCULATION CORE VOLUME _ Volume containing the upward twisting ramps that engulf the centralized book and wall system. Ramps tier-off to create moments of reprise to allow for sitting areas and reading nooks.
SHELVING SYSTEM / LIGHT WELL VOLUMES _ Slabs of waffle concrete arranged vertically to provide the book shelving system. Central void that concrete slabs create act as lightwells bringing large amounts of light into the basement level.
BASEMENT VOLUME _ Light wells over the open gathering space face into the below-grade garden courtyard. This space acts as room for contemplation, reading and other activities while simultaneously extending the interior space. The small circulation volume at the rear of the building serves as public access.

INFLATABLEMEMBRANEPlastic Drop Sheet
+ Wood Structure + Heat Sealed Seam 05
A study into the domestic qualities of the common household garage. Often interpreted as a location for storage, the garage has also been a space that fosters creativity for residents. Usually disassociated from the actual living space of the home it has been known to be transformed into studios and band rehearsal spaces. The garage door is quite unique. Unlike the many other in any given household, the garage door can be more easily defined as a temporary wall which can be removed entirely to fully open the once private interior space to the public exterior environment.
![Page 23: Joshua Giovinazzo / Architecture + Design / 2015](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022020719/579070821a28ab68749dd277/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
This project seeks to blur the line between the public and private understandings of the common garage. To achieve this, an inflatable archway was designed that could more successfully engage the exterior and act as a threshold for the once clearly defined interior space. The design of this inflatable arch is quite simple in concept. Through the strategic lamination of two 0.335mm plastic sheets and the successful implementation of individual yet systematically melted point seams the membrane is constructed. By inflating this closed system with air, powered by a 2HP Shop Vac the bubble takes form and develops rigidity. The bottom ends are then anchored in place and attached to a minimal bracing system to provide vertical support. By using an inflatable archway the garage space is extruded down the length of the drive way to reach the clearly defined public zone found at the sidewalk and beyond.

LANTERN SERIES
An experimental study into the qualities of semi-transparency. Constructed from simple foam board, these lanterns examine the effects light has on membranes that are not fully opaque to further understand how the layering of such materials can influence aesthetic qualities. Three separate iterations each investigate different structural schemes.

EXCESSLIGHT
A conceptual piece that looks into the environmental condition of light pollution. Constructed using a PVC pipe that was altered through the implementation of arbitrarily bored 3-inch perforations through the entirety of the body. This then acts as the canister which contains a 40-inch incandescent black light bulb and the required ballast electrics. The careful introduction of specially selected fluorescent paints and fluids alludes to the hidden complications of the environmental issue of light pollution.
