The Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs and American Legion, Department of Delaware, hosted the Veterans' Day Ceremonies on Monday, November 11, 2013. The program was held at the Memorial Plaza, Delaware Memorial Bridge, New Castle, Delaware.
The National Veterans' Day Committee in Washington, DC designated Veterans Day in New Castle, DE, as a 2013 Regional Site. This is the twenty-second year of participation along with 54 similarly recognized sites throughout the United States.
Lt. Governor Matt Denn, many other elected officials, active duty men and women, legislators, veterans, families of veterans, and guests were in attendance.
Among the remarks at this powerful ceremony, Lt. Gov. Denn drew applause for these words: “At a time when people can agree on little else, one thing that Delawareans, north and south, red and blue can agree upon is that we owe a staggering debt to the men and women who have put their lives on the line overseas.”

I split my presentation images up into four parts, this was the bottom left quadrant.
This project is for a new residence hall and learning community for Drexel University, on a site located at 34th and Lancaster Avenue. For my proposal, I sought to bring a sculptural, iconic building to this high traffic site. The site also features a stunning view of the center city Philadelphia skyline. To take advantage of this, I stacked each floors common room along this view, creating a semi regular glass facade, punctuated by red cubes which serve as bookcases for the common rooms. This wing of the building houses the elevator, one set of fire stairs and restrooms.
Building off this central core, I began to experiment with different floor plans for each residential floor. My overall goal was to express each individual residential unit on the exterior. Common rooms are glass boxes with wooden slats, which provide sun protection while maintaining excellent views of the city. Bedrooms have a different exterior condition. Units are cantilevered and stacked to create exterior terraces and to play on solids and voids.
My main inspiration for this project was Habitat 67, the iconic housing development designed by Moshe Safdie in the late 1960s.
