TOURIST AMENITIES | MERGING URBAN LAYERS ROME, ITALY
Provide the visitor with an experience that cannot be found at any other location. Envelop somebody into the history of the city so that the moment of revelation at the final destination along this procession is so full of meaning.
The site of the Rione di Borgo in Rome, Italy provided a myriad of urban conditions to consider in the design for a unity of amenities geared at enhancing the tourist experience in the vicinity of Saint Peter’s Basilica. The location of the site is between the aggregated medieval fabric of Trastevere to the south and the finely articulated twentieth century fabric, prompting the design to respond to the threshold condition. It is also a point at which two prilgrimmage routes, the historic Via Sancta and nineteenth century Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, terminate and thus must be resolved into the fabric. Taking from the principles that guided the demolitions of the nineteenth century, the diradamento edilizio or “thinning out” of the construction, and dissasociating the site from the sventramenti fascisti, fascist demolitions, the redesign of the site aimed to add back elements that reflected the spatial qualities found in the adjacent urban fabrics. A sensitive hand must be applied to such a controvertial area of historic Rome. Through studies of the area around Sant’Andrea della Valle in the centro storico, it became apparent that a piazza can act as a moment of respite along a procession and the curvature of streets created by an additive process of masses produces apertures that guide the procession. Three main programmatic elements direct the procession through the site: a caravanserai, or roadside inn, an information center with a theater, and an exhibition center. The forms that envelop the program create a perceptual experience as they allude to the destination of Saint Peter’s Basilica on one end and Castel Sant’Angelo on the other, but never reveal the entire view. They act as lenses that control the procession.

PUBLIC HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT | INTEGRATION BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
PUBLIC HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT | INTEGRATION BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
Must we accept public housing for what it is? Is there nothing that architecture can do to address a problem that architects themselves essentially created?
By integrating multiple housing typologies into the site adjacent to the towers and designating the open space to specific land users, there is a hierarchical system that orders the site. In the physical sense, the step-down from the towers to the streets is mitigated and ordered by the different typologies-- midrise commercial/residential, midrise perimeter block, and lowrise terrace house. On the interior of each block, the courtyard space has designated users, providing a sense of ownership to each user. The lowrise terrace houses have a garden both within the boundary of the house and beyond it, extending their engagement into the courtyard. The midrise commercial/ residential units have a double-shared, walled yard that protrudes out into the main courtyard. What is left is for the tower inhabitants and is furnished with benches, cafes, and pathways. The short ends of the blocks are left open to welcome users into the courtyard, and the first floor or each tower has been punched through and made porous. The only commercial areas are on the north and south boundaries and along gold street, the artery running through the site. The goal of this project is to reinvent this public housing site with consideration for land ownership and thresholds between the public and private realm. The users will have the option to engage with each other in the open space or remain in their designated areas if they desire privacy.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY BOATHOUSE | ADAPTATION INWOOD, NEW YORK
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY BOATHOUSE | ADAPTATION INWOOD, NEW YORK
IN COLLABORATION WITH SAMANTHA CALABRESE
The connection between land and water is explored in the way that the building creates visual vignettes and physical reactions. The land and water on the site react and adapt to seasonal changes, so the building adapts in congruence with the use of mechanical elements.
Integrating land mass and built structure was key to the core design principles of this project. The natural landscape was exaggerated to physically involve itself with the manmade elements. Berms act as structural anchors on which the horizontal plinth of the boathouse sits, while water from the bay is invited to flow around them. These modifications to the landscape create a smooth flow from the atheltic complex to the north and east into the natural landscape of the bay to the west. The program of the boathouse is centered around the rowing tank, which is an indoor practice room for the rowing team. It is a transparent box that sits within a large berm and overlooks the bay, immersing the rowers into a space that mediates the land and water. Workout spaces, offices, and locker rooms surround the tank on the upper level, and storage rooms for the equipment are situated beneath this level and are surrounded by walls that are half natural land mass and half mandmade. The Columbia University Boathouse is not only a facility for the use of the Columbia University Rowing team, but also for the community. From both access points - on top of and below the hill - it expresses in itself a constant mediation between two states.

Mechanical Studies Mechanical elements respond to the changes in season, thus invoking the structure to be adaptive to its context. All apertures are operative and, whether opened or closed, have an affect on the interior spatial and experiential conditions.
STUDENT HOUSING | ATRIUM OPENING BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
STUDENT HOUSING | ATRIUM OPENING BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
As part of a comprehensive design studio, the project was held to a high level of standards for the inclusion of all necessary mechanical elements and for the consideration of site conditions that would affect the building footprint and massing. All design development was overseen by Robert Siegel.
The proposal for student housing for Pratt Institue situated on the corner of Myrtle Avenue and Grand Avenue required a knowledge of zoning laws and district code requirements in order to properly evlauate site conditions. The site is split between two lots with separate requirements for light & air and FAR. The design solution considers the open environment within the building, orientation to the Manhattan skyline, daylighting techniques, structural & MEP fundamentals, quality of life and efficiency within units. A major component in our solution is the central atrium, which allows for light to penetrate the core and for circulation to be directed around a large wall that has the potential to house sustainable infrastructure such as a green wall. The units range in size depending on occupant type and include single-bed double-dorm suites and sized single-bed double-apartments (kitchenettes included).

ACADEMY | CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF THE WIND BRONX, NEW YORK
“it is the act of forming rather than form itself, form in the process of growth, as genesis, rather than as the ultimate appearance� -Paul Klee
The intention of this design is to convey the intimate relationship that a structure has to its context. Wave Hill is a precious piece of land in the Bronx, New York that is sloped towards the Palisades of New Jersey and flanked by the Hudson River. The landscape is open but enveloped by trees that anchor the space. In my extrapilation of the site conditions, I explore the notion of malleable landscapes that are surfaces atop a larger armature. This armature acts as a larger force within the space we experience, pulling at the surface and affecting the things that touch it, such as built structures. The academy is a collection of structures that react to the slope of the land. The angle of the slope determines the pitches of the roofs, which are expressed by beams that extend beyond the roofline as if to act out the forces of the hill. In this way they are a visualization of the armature.

UI DESIGN | TEMPER APP
What is it? Temper is here for roommates to connect with each other privately about all the duties and responsibilities associated with living with multiple people under one roof so that tension is eliminated and communication is easy. Full disclosure can be achieved with the use of all of Temper’s organizational and communication tools.
Why does Rose need it? Rose is a very busy, schedule oriented, working student. She doesn’t have the time to schedule meetings with her roommates to go over everyone’s responsibilities. She doesn’t want to make reminders in her calendar for anything except schoolwork. She currently uses the default calendar app and reminders app on her iphone for all her appointments and she uses the notes app to keep track of things she buys.
How will it fulfill Rose’s needs? The app is a designated source for Rose to connect with the other two people living in her apartment privately about who needs to clean the kitchen, clean the bathroom, take out the trash, buy toiletries, pay rent, etc. The app features a home screen with easy acess to bill and duty requests and a swipe-up list of upcoming deadlines. In the nav bar there are icons for the calendar, notifications, home screen, messages, and settings. Rose can use the duty and bill requests to easily and efficiently notify her roommates when something needs to get done without having to use multiple apps to plan and communicate.

PRODUCT DESIGN | DYSLEX “We suggest that dyslexics have different learned patterns of perceptual masking rather than higher level cognitive defect. In ‘A View on Dyslexia’, we describe, a perceptual non-reading measure which reliably distinguishes between dyslexic persons and ordinary readers. More importantly, we describe a regimen of practice with which dyslexics learn a new perceptual strategy for reading. By now six studies on dyslexic children and adults demonstrate the regimen’s efficiency.” -Gadi Geiger
Gadi Geiger has investigated an aspect of seeing while reading, which can think of as the field of vision. Ordinary readers develop a way to see a limited amount of characters and learn to remember words as visual units. Duks Koschitz invented a reading card using his parameters and I explored modifications to the design to reach the optimal ergonomic level. Initial research credit to The Center for Biological & Computational Learning (CBCL) at M.I.T. Further research conducted as Research Assistant to Duks Koschitz at the Design Lab at Pratt Institute The intention began with two simple goals: to produce a tool that is small enough to fit in a credit card that is as ergonomically efficient as possible. In order to make the tool most effective, multiple iterations were made specific to three types of font sizes. The hole is based at size 10 pt and expanded to fit sizes 11 and 12. Its placement was determined by the line of the handle that is to be folded up and pinched by two fingers.
