MOORE SQUARE SPORTS HALL 'POINT OF CONTACT' PAVILION UMSTEAD PARK NATURE HOTEL CENTER FOR MATERIAL SCIENCES
In downtown Raleigh, a park renovation
of Moore Square was completed in the
summer of 2019. Adjacent to the park’s
southeastern corner, a vacant lot exists.
In order to continue to bring activity and
liveliness to the immediate area, a new
indoor soccer facility will operate.
Raleigh has plans for a professional
soccer stadium and North Carolina has
the largest youth soccer association in
the country. Not only would this facility
strengthen the viability of Moore
Square as an important public space,
the game of soccer is hyper inclusive.

Point of Contact is a conceptual
pavilion designed to reside temporarily
in Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, NC.
The pavilion’s purpose is two part:
to capture the technical wonder of a
Raleigh artist’s experimentation with
ambisonic sound and to create an
architecturally interesting space that
challenges ideas of inside and outside
and individual part to the whole.
For Point of Contact, a metal clip and
fastener system has been developed to
simultaneously hold the shape of each
individual joining of surface material
and provide the bridge connection to
the next unit.
William B. Umstead State Park is a short
15 minute drive northwest of downtown
Raleigh. The park access right off of I-40
is the location of this project, a nature
hotel. Several chain hotels populate
the area because of its proximity to
the Raleigh Durham Airport. This hotel
seeks to break from the norm by utilizing
natural elements to make a user’s stay
memorable and meditative.
The hotel works to preserve and enhance
the essence of the park through specific
programmatic decisions and through
an adjoined boutique spa.

A highly technical Center for Applied
Material Sciences will play a critical
role in supporting Duke University’s
emphasis on interdisciplinary research
and development. It will feature a
dedicated maker space, to test material
applications, graduate research labs
and multiple flexible collaboration
spaces.
The site for the project, located at the
end of Science Drive between The
University Physics Department, The
Pratt School of Engineering, and the
Levine Science Research Center, has the
potential to house a critical cell for the
campus.

MOORE SQUARE SPORTS HALL
In downtown Raleigh, a park renovation of Moore Square
was completed in the summer of 2019. What was once
a dilapidated and relatively unused public space in the
middle of the city is now a vibrant and particularly active
space. On weekends, numerous Raleigh organizations
hold events and festivals on the park’s grounds. Yoga
and CrossFit groups gather on the newly manicured
green space in the square’s center to relax and improve
fitness. Adjacent to the park’s southeastern corner, a
vacant lot exists. In order to continue to bring activity
and liveliness to the immediate area, the following
project presents an indoor soccer facility that responds
to the site’s urban conditions.
Soccer isn’t new to the Triangle area. Some master plans
of a portion of the downtown area feature a soccer
stadium and North Carolina has the largest youth soccer
association in the country. Not only would this facility
strengthen the viability of Moore Square as an important
public space, the game of soccer is hyper inclusive. No
matter your age, race, gender, or financial situation, all
that is required is the desire to have fun.

'POINT OF CONTACT' PAVILION
Point of Contact is a conceptual pavilion designed to
reside temporarily in Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, NC. By
utilizing a module-based approach in the construction
of the pavilion, the pieces could be reassembled
rather quickly elsewhere after its indefinite stay in the
park. The pavilion’s purpose is two part: to capture the
technical wonder of a Raleigh artist’s experimentation
with ambisonic sound and to create an architecturally
interesting space that challenges ideas of inside and
outside and individual part to the whole. The fullscale
physical mock-up, presented here, shows the
construction technique and a portion of the subtracted
volume from the pavilion’s interior.
For Point of Contact, a metal clip and fastener system
has been developed to simultaneously hold the shape of
each individual joining of surface material and provide
the bridge connection to the next box. By using Rhino as
a design tool, the team was able to iterate on a number
of different overall pavilion forms. Section perspective
drawings and series of conceptual renders help to tell
the story of the team’s most developed form.

STEREO
AMBISONIC
Ambisonic sound differs greatly from stereo
sound. The diagram above demonstrates the
ability of ambisonic sound to completely surround
a specified, central location for an enhanced
listening experience. By combining the principles
of this ambisonic sound diagram with the need
for an interesting architectural pavilion, ‘Point of
Contact’ was conceived. The interior space of the
assembled pavilion is mostly spherical, allowing
for the installation of programmed speakers that
work to provide a listener with an ambisonic sound
experience. There is an entry and exit on opposite
sides of the pavilion. The walls of these more
transparent faces push into the overall form so
that the entries and exits are both expressed and
covered for the user.

UMSTEAD PARK NATURE HOTEL
William B. Umstead State Park is a short 15 minute drive
northwest of downtown Raleigh. Roughly 8.7 miles of
preserved forests and water features are available as a
natural getaway for residents or visitors to the Triangle.
The park access right off of I-40 is the location of this
project, a nature hotel. Several chain hotels populate
the area because of its proximity to the Raleigh Durham
Airport. This hotel seeks to break from the norm by utilizing
natural elements to make a user’s stay memorable and
meditative.
The project is directly adjacent to the existing parking lot
at the access. The hotel works to preserve and enhance
the essence of the park through specific programmatic
decisions and through an adjoined boutique spa. The
hotel’s form is lifted above the park grounds and provides
spectacular views of the area to the north. The sunken
spa spaces to the south provide a relaxing experience
to someone wanting a serene getaway. The lobby and
cafe hover at tree canopy level, keeping visitors ever
close to the natural wonder of Umstead State Park.

46
Harrison Avenue's northern terminus, just off of
I-40, is the Reedy Creek Parking area. This location
is heavily trafficked because park amenities are
in abundance (covered shelters, picnic tables,
permanent grills, etc) and there are two trailheads,
for Loblolly and Company Mill Trails. Both trailheads
are great starting points for a stroll or hike to see
more of Umstead Park. A site diagram of the parking
area and proposed hotel site is provided on the left.
The diagram is primarily an examination of the
contrast between the natural enclosure of trees,
that populate the site area, and the regulative
structure of the roads and parking lot that intersect
the surrounding vegetation. Although additional
parking is required for the hotel project, the current
site axes, rhythm, and general orientation brought
on by man-made and natural occuring elements,
influence the hotel design.

CENTER FOR APPLIED MATERIAL
SCIENCES
A dedicated and highly technical Center for Applied
Material Sciences will play a critical role in supporting
Duke University’s emphasis on interdisciplinary research
and development. The site for the project, located at
the end of Science Drive between The University Physics
Department, The Pratt School of Engineering, and the
Levine Science Research Center (the largest single-site
interdisciplinary research facility in the U.S.), has the
potential to house a critical cell for the campus. It is also
in close proximity to the historic Duke Chapel. A private
stair ascending to the uppermost level of the building
glimpses the spire.
The project strikes a balance between modern building
tectonics, featuring a mounted ceramic-tube screen
that shades the most sunlit facades of the building,
and a hypersensitive sight condition, an important
pedestrian path that simultaneously improves overall
campus circulation and creates a place of gathering or
presentation. A successful project on this site would not
only be appropriate, it would be a physical catalyst for
innovation and inspiration.

" Say, for example, the material Kevlar is
developed in the lab setting. The CAMS
Application Lab at the basement level
would be a place where students or
externally-funded entities could go to sew
a bulletproof vest or boat sail, two common
applications of the material. The prototype
product could then be tested and analyzed
for its material properties and effectiveness.
Graduate research and lectures related
to material studies would take place on
the top floor of the building. A shared,
more public university space separates
the two dedicated development levels
and features a cafe that translates to the
exterior green roof patio. A monumental
promenade flanks the building on
the west. It is designed to preserve the
existing university circulation and provide
amphitheater seating for gathering,
studying, or presentation. A more concealed
secondary stair passes under the upper
building level on the eastern side. "
