GROWING BROADWAY FALL 2018

In order to address the poor health conditions prevalent in Buffalo, this project proposes a supportive, model community to encourage healthier habits. While there are already organizations and programs in Buffalo working on encouraging healthy living in various ways, they fail to successfully coordinate across districts. This project will enhance the already existing programs by serving as a connective strategic center, while embedding assets that serve the larger community. 35.6%

A large, vertical greenhouse space fronting Broadway serves as the center of operations, containing education, health, and counseling services , as well as producing fresh local produce that could be sold in the Broadway Market across the street. The ground floor houses these offices and classroom spaces, while the upper levels are dedicated to the growth of fresh food. This space brings together local organizations interested in promoting healthy living and helps them work together to help reach a wider community of people across the city of Buffalo. Ideas of healthy living can be spread into the surrounding neighborhoods by encouraging and supporting the reclamation of the many vacant lots in the area.

In addition to outdoor lawn spaces, each residential unit includes a polycarbonateclad transitional space, allowing for expansion into sunlight filled spaces. These spaces can be used as personal greenhouses or as an extension of the living space during colder seasons. The large community greenhouse anchors the project within the city scale, while this new block structure encourages healthy living to expand to other East Buffalo neighborhoods through strategically appropriated and connected vacant lots and street configuration.

CANAL CONNECTIONS: A SUPER-GREATER NEW YORK SPRING 2018

Inspired by Kennard Thompson’s ideas of an extended Manhattan from the early 1900s, the studio brief called for a radical proposal designed collectively by the entire studio. I focused on the connection of the proposed extension to existing Manhattan and Governors Island by proposing the creation of a canal district. The district is configured to transitionally build on the character of the island and enhance significant urban moments, while allowing the reclaimed new urban district to form its own distinct identity. Three large public squares spread throughout the canal district provide public gathering spaces, while one island is largely dedicated to a new City Hall.

Model Photograph of Proposed Canal District

Green park space extends between the existing parks of Governors Island and Battery Park to create a continuous green element that unites the proposed extension with the existing Manhattan fabric. A system of canals relate back to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early beginnings as New Amsterdam. Wide canals separate new land from existing land and highlight key views to significant landmarks. Restricting building heights to prevent high-rise construction maintains these views. Narrower canals run down the center of Broadway and cut irregularly across the urban fabric. An irregular street grid translates between the chaotic disarray of Lower Manhattan and the strict regularity of the proposed extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grid. The implementation of this canal network combined with these irregular streets results in unique blocks that each have a direct relationship with water.

REFUGREEN FALL 2017

In collaboration with Anna Drewitz

Refugreen aims to ease the transition for newly arrived refugees to life in a new country and culture through a range of private and social spaces that connect to a public market at ground level with a focus on gardening. Through communal kitchens and gardens, these shared activities of gardening and cooking encourage socialization and community, while allowing residents to grow and prepare food that reminds them of home.

LARGE FAMILY

Residential rooms are arranged in clusters around a shared lounge space. These rooms can be divided into flexible groupings to accommodate a range of family sizes, from single individuals to multigenerational families. Communal gardens along the rooftops allow residents to cultivate their own plots and work alongside other residents. The garden experience continues throughout the project, including herb gardens connected to the communal kitchens and various plantings throughout the social circulation space.

The central circulation space takes inspiration from the multidirectional interconnectedness of villages from many refugeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home countries by allowing people to interact between levels. The sounds and smells of the market can travel up through the circulation void to people hanging laundry on their balconies or gardening on the rooftops. Socialization levels vary, including private bedrooms , semi-private lounges, communal kitchens and gardens, and a public market.

BUFFALO MARITIME CENTER FALL 2016

Designed and built over the course of three weeks in collaboration with my studio, this small vessel features an interlocking rib structure and double skin system. This quick build served as inspiration in the design of a new Buffalo Maritime Center. The building design explores spaces created through the intersecting of dependent structural systems. The suspended nature of the space frame results in an essentially open ground floor, with only the large structural columns impacting the space. This allows the ground floor to be devoted primarily to boat construction and associated needs.

Definition of spaces on the ground floor, such as small craft construction and a tool room, are implied through the space frames and cantilevers above. The second floor spaces are publicly accessible spaces, including a model shop, library, and lecture hall. These spaces are more clearly articulated and enclosed within the space frame structure. Calling on the ideas of double skin systems often utilized in boat construction, this project introduces a double skin enclosure. An internal layer of glass encloses the space, while operable wire mesh panels that provide lighting and shading effects, filtering and dappling the natural light entering the spaces.

MOSAIC CITY, MADRID SUMMER 2018

The numerous examples of mosaics, both ancient and modern, that can be found across Spain inspired the design of this Madrid-based University at Buffalo Cultural Campus. Mosaics are typically a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small pieces of stone, tile, glass, or other materials. We wanted to bring this classically Spanish technique into the design of this international campus. This concept is explored through a variety of individual buildings that come together to create a university campus that serves the general public, as well as students and faculty. With an auditorium, cafĂŠ, gym, and large library available to the public, this campus encourages interaction, socialization, and cultural exchange between the students studying here and the residents of the surrounding city.

The campus is organized with an orthogonal grid system of 50 foot intervals separated by circulation paths of varying widths. These widths establish a hierarchy across the site. Buildings and plazas are then loosely arranged within this grid, adjusting based on the programmatic needs. All buildings are primarily clad with concrete panels, with material accents over window openings to express programmatic identity. The more private and student focused buildings, such as the residential dorms and the classrooms feature vertical wood elements. More public buildings, such as auditorium and library, feature copper panels with patterned perforations.

STUDENT PLUS ONE SPRING 2019

Students who want to live with their partners are often unable to find appropriate housing. On campus living arrangements provide very few opportunities outside the single independent student standard. Off campus options can be difficult to find and often isolated from the rest of the student population. This proposal offers a cooperative living approach for student couples. This house is designed to operate within a cooperative housing network that provides similar options for students to live with family members. This house creates a relaxing and comfortable place for young adults to socialize and enjoy the college experience while still being able to live with their significant others. Large porches, a backyard BBQ, and a basement bar encourage residents to hang out and relax. As an infill project, the form of the house takes inspiration from the typical bungalow found in this area of Buffalo, with alterations that emphasize the iconic features, such as the slope of the roof, the front porch, the large dormer, and its grounded nature. The resulting design is respectful to the history and scale of the surrounding neighborhood, while offering a new interpretation. Each unit has a private living area and small kitchenette, allowing each couple to have aSTUDENT private space.PLUS A largePARTNER glass dormer cuts through the house to enclose the central Many college students are married or in committed relationships while they are going to school.

Studios along Northampton Street

Eaton Street

While studios and workspaces line the street to display the passions of the community, residential units are pulled into the interior of the block to create a more private and intimate community. Conscious of the existing neighbors, these infill studios and homes follow a simple gable roof form at a respectful scale. The peaked roofs of all these new buildings would be clad in metal seam roofing that extends to wrap two sides, with the possibilities of a variety of color options. The remaining walls have the option to be a variety of materials and colors, accenting the variation and diversity that these artist type residents will bring to the cooperative. As these residential and studio spaces are arranged across the site, the resulting paths and spaces allow ample opportunities for green spaces, seating areas, and an overflow of workspaces.

Northampton Street Focused Plan N

Display Studio: 300 ft Storefront Studio: 900 ft2 Live-Work Unit: 900 ft2

Three types of studios provide opportunities for a wide variety of hobbies. Private studios open mainly to the cooperative, while display studios also open towards the neighborhood to show off the residents’ work. Storefront studios are larger spaces that could house small business such as cafés or bookstores. These spaces might also be rented out to members of the wider community who then employ and serve the residents. Each resident would be able to use a studio space to explore their interests and keep them active outside of their homes. These workspaces provide opportunities for social interaction among these residents, while introducing them to additional interests.

Above the storefront studio, there is a work-live unit with a balcony. All other residential units are pulled to the interior of the block. One bedroom cottages, arranged in small clusters around shared courtyards, provide an option for the more independent and private residents. A more cooperative apartmentstyle approach gives each resident a private bedroom and bathroom, while sharing common living and kitchen spaces. A guest house provides places for visiting relatives, as well as space for community gatherings.

GRAYCLIFF HOUSE AND VISITOR CENTER SPRING 2019

This project began with the reconstruction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Graycliff House in Revit. I then designed a new visitor center that includes an exhibition space, cafe, gift shop, conference room, and several offices. The design takes cues from the original Graycliff House in terms of massing and materials, while opening up and framing views from the visitor center across the site to the original house.

KOI-ZEBO SUMMER 2016

Water from the koi pond is pumped from the pond to run along the railings, dropping at steady increments, until it meets in the rear in a waterfall that feeds into a series of bog filters. From here, the water flows through a stream back to the pond.
