Civil Architecture

Zoo addition Proposal    Jonathan Werbel and David Raboy
A design study for the Northwest corner of the Buttonwood Park Zoo. 27 interior and exterior exhibits for the Endangered species breeding program, 3 internal water exhibits including 25' waterfall, one external river and existing pond for the elephants (south). three levels interwoven under the dome, which collects water into a cistern under the interior patio for using in exhibits or for cooling down the dome. Outbuildings feature a sodded roof to blend the dome to the background from all perspectives as well as to lower heating and cooling costs, park side wall is cut stone while zoo-side walls are exhibit quality rock-face. Includes interior and exterior spaces for functions and income generation.
 

Sketches for New Wave Systems

Little Community Center

Illustration project for New Wave Systems, while this has good sound projection qualities for a stage at the back, easier construction would result from a constant sectioned roof.

Organic Sectioned Sky Scraper

As above, but I'm afraid it was less organic than Steve wanted. However, using 1/2" plate on the three "organic" pillars and cross-framing each level would give an awfully sturdy structure, with multiple escape routes and armored service-ways. Having lived in a Sky Scraper in New York, well, just some thoughts.
