378 / Gregory Rendon Jr: Infill Housing

Submission #378 | Gregory Rendon Jr: Infill Housing — “Located in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia, the objective was to create an apartment complex, garden & carriage house on a corner lot. This project was developed from two main concepts. The primary concept is using a dynamic built-in structure to mold furniture and create unique spacial conditions. The scheme of this design is folding a monolithic plane to serve multiple functions while removing the interpretation of what is a floor, wall, and roof. The second concept is a vertical public space that resides in the interior of the building. Illuminated by a system of skylights from above, this serves as the anchor of the social space while also illuminating the units with natural light through the interior. Materiality was carefully chosen to maintain the urban fabric while introducing a contemporary building.”

Renzo Lopez: Miami Beach Digital Learning Gallery — The new Miami Beach Lincoln road Branch Library is a duality between the closed, rigid, and pragmatic nature implicit with storing printed information along with the open ended, ever expanding nature of digital information. This duality transforms the modern library into a relevant and revitalized public building which explores and pays homage to digital information.
