RED HOOK BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CITY
UNDERGRADUATE | 14 WEEK PROJECT
R E B U I L D
R E D H O O K The area known as Red Hook Brooklyn has been a long forgotten port district and has since gone through many cycles of growth and decline. Today Red Hook is rebuilding itself after being devestated by hurrican Sandy. being disconnected from the subway, Red Hook remains as an isolated burrough alothough it is ready to be the next DUMBO or Williamsburg. The challenge of this project is to envision a new development that will help Red Hook once again become a focal point of Brooklyn.

The building complex aims to become a ecomonical and social driver for the area of Red Hook. Much of the area lives in well below national average household income and live to the north east in the nearby projects. Through the introduction of a wood productions and fabriaction facility the goal is to not only reopen a port for commerce, but also use the facility to train the neighborhood and give them skills needed to propell themselves into the age of digital reproductionsa and fabrication.

GRADUATE | 10 WEEK PROJECT
C O R E / / O N E
A Theoretical planning framework for a forward thinking Eco District in the south side of Chicago. The goal of CoLab is not only to foster innovation of the development of campus like work environments for upcoming as well as developed tech companies, but to also redefine how sustainability is realized. CoLab aims to create a series of closed loop energy paths, that reuse otherwise wasted energy in productive and life enhancing ways. These systems all work together to enhance sustainable systems, as well as living and work conditions suitable for our ever changing lives. Group project with Raphael Chavez

TO BEGIN THE PLANNING PROCESS, INSPIRATION NEW SITE WIREFRAME CAME FROM THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF NATURE. EXAMINING ORDERING SYSTEMS WHICH APPEAR AT THE MICROSCOPIC LEVEL BUT ALSO REPEAT THEMSELVES AT VARIOUS SCALES THROUGHOUT THE SURFACE GENERATED UNIVERSE. THROUGH DATA DRIVEN APPLICATIONS, THE BENEFITS AND OUTCOMES OF NUMEROUS BIOLOGICALLY BASED ORGANISM WERE TESTED ON THE SITE. THE COMBINATION OF THE RIGID DIATOM, AND THE PACKING BEHAVIOUR OF THE PLANT ROOT SYSTEM WERE CHOSEN AS THE GENERATORS FOR THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK

LOGIC 2 These cells represent the vascular system and nutrient transportation system of plants. This system is a prime example of the complexities that nature produces. By a visual analysis multiple variations of the system can derived. The system protects more important cells by creating a more dense and thicker cell walls. Where the system sees less stress the cells become larger and muss less dense.

CORE // ONE FOSTER SCHOLARSHIP, DISCOVERY AND INNOVATION
CORE//ONE will deliver a vast network of resources for employees, students, faculty, staff, and community members. The key to fostering scholarship, discovery and innovation in such a building is to not limit the user. By providing a variety of digital, physical, and human resources; the building molds around the user. CORE//ONE also must attract users from all disciplines. By doing so, the site will be promoting an inclusive learning community. And how will CORE// ONE attract users from all areas? By providing and implementing the utilization of tomorrow’s technology today. CORE// ONE will be a state of the art facility that will continue to attract users from all disciplines and backgrounds.

RESPONSIVE FACADE A responsive facade prototype, designed to bridge the gap between the analog environment that buildings manifest within, and the transparent digital network that surrounds our modern life.
Custom built RGB LED panels change color based on proximity or ambient light levels.
Here the facade is responding to ambient light levels. The less light that the sensor receives, the more the panel will rotate and open. Creating a dynamic shading system
