I N T R O D U C T I O N This portfolio is a selection of works from my undergraduate studies at the University at Buffalo. These projects display my abilities as a designer, researcher, planner, and problem solver. The first section puts an emphasis on architectural applications towards a design problem. The second section highlights my ability to think critically. I believe the marriage of my studies in Architecture & Planning has been critical in the process and progress between my methodology of analysis, design, and fabrication.

TIMELESS MUSEUM
Fall 2008 Inhabiting a Collection
Floor Plan
Viewshed Section The design challenge of Inhabiting a Collection was to explore the potential relationships between three artworks and incorporate and include them into the design of a museum within a predefined cubic form. The three artworks share a common theme: they blur the literal sense of time. Inspired by the Guggenheim Museum in NYC, the circulation of the museum is essential in experiencing the three artworks and their interelationship. The spiral staircase forces different vantage points that alludes to the individual artist’s play on time. With the circulation as a medium for experience, the users conception of space makes this museum a timeless museam.

VITRUVIOUS YO-YO
Spring 2009 Full Scale Simple Machine
Concept Diagram The Vitruvious Yo-Yo is an apparatus that lifts a person while changing the relationship of the user’s body to the ground. It must also be a simple machine (constructed with 128’ linear feat of 2x4 lumbar) that does not require much physical labor as well as lift the person 6’ off the ground. The design was inspired by the mechanics of a pulley and a yo-yo, and the proportions of the vitruvious man. The yo-yo is coiled with rope so when one person is pulling from the right and another person pulling from the left, the wheel in the center begins to coil. This rotation is what brings the yo-yo to lift the user in the air. My major contributions to this group project were the intial design proposals and the final proposal as well.

ROLLING ROCK BUILDING
Fall 2009 Inhabiting a Monolith
Phase 1
The first phase of this project was to find a rock to represent a monolith, then utilize a ream of paper to orient and erect the rock. The idea of the first phase of rolling rock was to explore the contours of the rock and design the landscape accordingly. We were intriguedd with all faces of the rock, so we designed a landscape that interacted with the entire rock. Sequence
The rock had several flat faces and sudden changes in contours, giving it moments of stability and instability. These moments correspond to the movement of the rock as well as the interaction between the rock and the moving landscape.
Phase 2 Diagram of Sequence
erspective
Sectional P
Phase 2 of the Rolling Rock Building was to occupy the monolith with two programmatic spaces: a community space and a ping pong space. The monolith was to also embodoy elements from phase 1 of the project.
The translation of the monolith into an occupiable building was accomplished by solidifying moments during the sequence of movements from the first phase. Doing so created several intersecting shapes which were used to determine the programatic spaces.
This is a section of my building that shows the different program locations.

AMBIGUOUS MOSQUE
Model of Mosque in Site
Spring 2010 Designing a Mosque
Typological Transformation The design challenge for this project was to interpret and define the typology of a mosque, then apply this typology to the design of a mosque on Cornell Campus in Ithaca, NY.
A mosque is a constellation of objects within a system of spaces. There are 6 types of objects and 4 types of spaces that exist in most mosques. After re-examining the different objects and spaces, a conclusion was formed that the objects could be considered as a space and vice versa. This ambiguity between object and space became the designing principles for the mosque. Typological Transformation
3 Techniques for Ambiguity Object or Space
Cut and Fill
The Gestalt Effect
Experiential Transition
{ { {
A piece of land or object is cut and filled elsewhere. Essentially, what was once an object becomes a space, and what was once a space becomes an object.
Exterior Ambiguity Cut and Fill
Interior Ambiguity The Gestalt Effect
The Gestalt Effect refers to the form-filling capabilities of our senses. The spaces within the mosque are defined with the Gestalt Effect. To further push the ambiguity within the spaces, the experience of being in an “enclosed” and an “open” space changes when facing Mecca
The Gestalt Effect refers to the form-forming cababilities of our senses.
The rooms are defined using the Gestalt Effect, the different orientations defines the spaces within the Mosque.
To further push the ambiguity within the space, the interior spaces were placed in such a way that the feeling of being in a solid or a void switches when facing Mecca

Each cut and fill was done to satisfy the need for lighting, directionality, structure, circulation, accessibility, and air flow. The orientation of the furniture and the pockets of skylights were to push the experience of open or closed spaces when facing or looking away from Mecca. This was to accentuate the spiritual experience for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Additionally, the facade was designed in such a way that when approaching the mosque, it appears solid until one looks at the building in the direction of Mecca.

PETRIFIED MOTION
Fall 2011 Material Fabrication
First, a doubly curve was created for the rail and the cross sectional curve in order to perform a sweep in Rhino. The object created from the sweep was then contoured and each contour was laid out systematically and cut using AutoCAD. This was done to ensure preciseness upon fabrication of the model. The material of choice was two- ply chipboard because its thickness was most logical.
The inspiration behind this design came from a personal interpretation of the “sweep� command in Rhino. The object before the sweep resembles a still frame and the object after the sweep represents motion. With a rail that is similar to a rollercoaster, the sweep then gives this object an illusion of petrified motion

There are three points in which the building manipulates the direction and the amount of natural light throughout the gallery space. System 1 - Facing South to allow consistent sunlight throughout the day, exterior shading to prevent heat and direct light into the space, and an interior suncatcher panel to redirect and focus some of the incoming light onto the artwork below. System 2 - Horizontally placed suncatchers on top of the roof openings. Elevated at different heights in order to prevent the sunlight from the South to penetrate into the space yet allow maximum reflected light inside and prevent heat. System 3 - Angled East/West facing plane on top of the hanging cross member system. Reflects light coming in from above roof apertures and directs it onto the artwork below.

Natural Lighting This project was to take an existing building and convert it into an art gallery, taking into consideration natural and electrical lighting systems. Jin Lan Art Gallery uses three natural lighting systems: System 1 - Facing South to allow consistent sunlight throughout the day, exterior shading to prevent heat and direct light into the space, and an interior suncatcher panel to redirect and focus some of the incoming light onto the artwork below. System 2 - Horizontally placed suncatchers on top of the roof openings. Elevated at different heights in order to prevent the sunlight from the South to penetrate into the space yet allow maximum reflected light inside and prevent heat.

Electrical Lighting Light emphasizes the form of the center piece item. This was done with the use of spot lighting from the floor level in addition to the track lighting used from above to create strong shadows. Finally, the use of fairly low level pendants and fluorescent tubes above the grid (which is utilized for the track lighting) are used in order to provide additional lighting to support the circulation, as well as “revealing the structure� of the grid.

WALKABILITY
Fall 2012 Quantifying Walkability
The boundaries of this site were within W. Ferry, Niagara, Porter, And Richmond Ave. From observations in this particular area of Buffalo, we propose the idea that our area will vary greatly in the measure of walkability. The streets to the south seem to have a higher level of communal engagement, there seems to be more parks, more dining areas and more ways of increasing communal outdoor activities. In constrast to the northern streets in the study, the area appears more run down, with less parks, more industry and significantly less outdoor activity. The goal of this study is to present a way to target the areas with low measures of walkability, see what categories are lacking and figure out a way to address and implement a solution to the problem.
}
Categories Quantified to Measure Walkability: 1. Imageability -foot traffic 2. Enclosure -proportion of street to wall 3. Human Scale -building height 4. Transparency -proportion of window to wall 5. Complexity -street furniture 6. Density -space between buildings
In conclusion, the north and south streets seem to differ in their levels of walkability. The main goal of this study was to identify the lacking areas and suggest improvements to create a more consistent and “walkable� neighborhood. If the appropriate improvements were made on any blocks with a rating of less than 3, it will greatly increase the areas walkability and make the community stronger as well as the relationships within. The criteria used to quantify each category act as a starting point for suggesting improvements

The Heritage Discovery Center is a tribute to Buffalo’s industrial heritage and the various cultures that contributed to the city’s golden age of manufacturing. Located at 100 Lee Street in South Buffalo, NY, the site of the former Buffalo Color plant was acquired in April 2010 by the Western New York Railway Society to be the future Heritage Discovery Center (Western New York Railway Society, 1996). The HDC campus is a unique development; it is a 40-acre brownfield site that will be comprised of a historic ethnic village, exterior train displays, and museum spaces paying homage to train, steel, and lighthouse artifacts that explain the industrial history of the city of Buffalo. The purpose of this development is educate and entertain visitors of the rich history of the city.

The Kensington Expressway had an enormous impact to the city of Buffalo’s East Side. Running north to south, the depressed freeway replaced a beautiful parkway that was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The new expressway severed the east side and destroyed surrounding neighborhoods.
Research
I was among the 4 specially selected BAED students who BRIDGING THE were GAP given permission to take this graduate Urban Design studio commissioned by the NYS DOT. Our research in collaboration with the Urban Design Project looked to resolve issues that were created by the Kensington Expressway. Analyzing previous proposals by DOT engineers, we expanded upon and rethought ways to reinvest in the freeway. My major contribution to the group project were to develop proposals concentrating on the surrounding neighborhoods as well as graphic work. an architecture/planning studio investigation

URBAN FORM: ALLENTOWN
Fall 2013 Urban Design
This project was to identify and understand good urban form using Buffalo as the site. My group chose to study Allentown. More specifically, we studied Allen Street between Elmwood Avenue and Wadsworth Street. The study includes a visual and spatial study followed by a context sensitive streetscape study.

Street Elevations From these studies, my group believes that Allentown has god urban form because of the three main reasons: 1. The streets are lively because of a strong mix of land uses and street street furniture. It is also well connected with surrounding neighborhoods. 2. The environment is built at human scale with modest building heighs and a mix of facades and textures along with artwork and murals. 3. There is a unique historic urban experience from the eclectic historic architectural styles. My major contributions for this group project were most of the graphic work as well as onsite observations.
