SELECTED WORK
HARLEM PARK, BALTIMORE, M
This urban intervention intends to rehabilitate the community of Harlem Park, Baltimore which is in need of value creation. This projects intends to do so through a focus on parks, amenities, community and sustainability. The design tackles issues at different scales, from regional parks to residential blocks. This scheme connects to the city’s Green Network Plan at the largest scale, and reimagines the unused inner block parks and local green streets at the smallest scale. At the residential level, blocks are resdesigned taking into consideration existing C.O.R.E. demolition plans. The community is further revitalized through the creation of assets, such as Fulton Street as a commercial corridor and through reinstating an ownership of public spaces.

POET LAUREATE, CHEVY CHASE, MD
This project is designed to temporarily house the annually elected Poet Laureate as well as provide public reading rooms and a reception hall for literary events. This scheme deals with issues of separation of public and private spaces through the careful creation of thresholds and discrete connection points. The residential part of the program has been situated on the eastern most part of the site, to bring the poet closer to the already existing residential fabric of the surrounding area, while locating the more public spaces towards the busy commercial character of Wisconsin Ave. on the West, and to the proposed expansive park on the North. Light is a key element that is carefully curated to provide optimal spaces for reading, public speaking, and residing.

MUSEO DELL’ ALLUVIONE, FLORENCE
This project was developed at the International Studies Institute in Florence. It aims to provide an alternative to the existing parking lot situated at Piazza Giuseppe Poggi in the San Niccolo neighborhood in Florence (on the south side of the Arno River). The project proposes a museum dedicated to the 1966 flood of the river. The scheme consists of an urban redesign of the piazza, a permanent collection exhibiting imagery of the flood, and a temporary collection to exhibit the latest technologies in flood mitigation. The location and design of the museum draw from the angle of the dam in the Arno river located immediately to the East of the site, which was built as a result of the flood, and the library that suffered the most damage during the flood, NW of the site.

URBAN EXPLORATIONS, ROM
The purpose of this excercise was to explore different urban strategies (Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque) in an urban site in an effort to understand the strenghts and weaknesses of each and to extend the existing urban fabric using these approaches. The design was elaborated through simultaneous iterations of figure grounds, building plans and perspectival views. The intention of this process was to create human scaled spaces with an understanding of the impact of a building in its surrounding fabric and on a pedestrian experience.

CULTURAL PROMENAD
An urban civic hall for the residents of Salisbury that are interested in transforming their community into a more cultural environment centered in their urban core. The design strives to allow for more civic gatherings to unite the community, while attracting more visitors and business to the city. This building and adjacent outdoor space will serve as a permanent location for cultural performances and exhibitions by local, University and traveling groups, with adaptable spaces for various other events to be held. The spaces are meant to enliven this urban community while seamlessly showcasing sustainability and awareness of the sea-level rise in the Chesapeake environment. This civic center hopes to highlight Salisbury’s importance in the Delmarva Peninsula. It is proposing a more culturally active relationship between the city and the river. The building will exist as an invitation for residents and visitors to interact with each other as well as the natural environment.

While on the Riverwalk visitors can use the ramp system to circulate directly to the commercial area above, or can take a seat and enjoy a view of the river. They can choose to continue on this landing to access the plaza found on the other side of the building, or can take the main staircase to the Riverwalk below or towards the entrance of the building above. The volume of the civic hall extrudes onto adjacent spaces to AERIAL NIGHT VIEW FROM SOUTH permeate dynamic activities onto the outdoor promenade. The central civic hall adapts for temporally changing activities. The APPROACH TO CIVIL HALL FROM WEST glass facing the plaza becomes a backlit projection for movie screenings to the public, attracting people to the waterfront, and providing another activity to involve those already on the riverwalk. This public square next to the building suddenly becomes the heart of the cultural district. NORTH - SOUTH SECTION

Visitors can experience a commercial axis as they near the building. Incubator-like infrastructure is set up to nurture and welcome transient restaurants to set up for several months as they taste test their products with locals and visitors alike. The proximity to the already popular Salisbury library and the civic hall make these restaurants an essential part of the cultural promenade in this new cultural district.
