Fusion Restaurant Moroccan & Lebanese
project overview This restaurant project was located in Manyunk, Pennsylvania on the first floor of a 2 story building with apartments on the second floor. The objective for this design was to create a unique fusion restaurant to attract the wealthy and baby boomer generations. The project began with visits to some of Philadelphia’s most popular restaurants including Budakan and Max Brenner. Since we were given the freedom to research any two cultures that we wanted our design to reflect, I chose to dig deeper into the Moroccan and Lebanese cultures.
concept My concept was based off of the movement of the bellydancers that were part of both of researched cultures, more specifically, the curves and movement of the female body. From there, my project was entitled “Revealing.” I incorporated my concept of ‘Revealing” by playing with the customers’ senses of sight, scent, and hearing in my design. This was accomplished by adding a hookah lounge in one room (scent) and a band/ dance area in another (hearing.) Both of these separate rooms have holes in the walls that are visible from the lobby, bar, and hallway. Light and color push out of these holes (sight) and lead you through the space.

Street Food Restaurant project overview In this multi-disciplinary design workshop, we were asked to design a street food storefront or vending station relative to a unique Milanese district. Around the spaces for food, public life and private customs give shape to everyday relational ambients. Through the desgin process, we had to: • organize a street food business • build a “brand-specific” commercial environment • communicate and share with the community our street food proposals • create devices that can bring customers deeper into the third millennium urban restoration process • make customers more familiar to the new city lifestyle Final proposals are comprised of a series of high-end street food stores in Milano, simulated within real locations in the city, built around a strategy of effectiveness and reality, and able to unveil new alimentary behavior in urban areas.
concept To design a hip and modern atmosphere to attract the younger generation to the Ticinese district of Milano along with providing the Milanese with a “bird’s eye view” of the Colonne di San Lorenzo.
1
district background The district of Ticinese can be reached by tram, running vertically on the map shown above, by car, on Via Molino delle Armi, or by foot. During the day, businessmen and women, as well as school kids wander around Ticinese. At night it is a different story, as the diversity of younger people take over the area. This generation ranges from 18 years old to 35 years old. Along Corso di Porta Ticinese, there are many tradition streetfood shops that include pizza, gelati, and Turkish kebab but street food that is sold here daily is beer. The Colonne becomes a social monument for large groups of people to gossip, listen to music, and overall just have a good time.
proposal Our street food shop is strategically placed as a parasitic structure overlooking the Colonne of San Lorenze. Roman ruins, like the Colonne, are in fact a rare sight in Milan. The columns date back to the late 2nd century, and provide a great aesthetic setting for our street food. Our parasitic structure is placed on a second story level that looks over the Colonne, as well as the overwhelming amount of people on the streets that this district attracts. Our process was based mostely on the study of structure and research on the customers experience of a “birds eye view� of the Colonne di San Lorenzo.

logo/ logotype study The background of our logo is displayed in black with a faded grey wire-framed pattern of our structure. There are also two simpler variations of black and white, white on black and black on white that are used interchangeably for our cups, napkins, and food packaging. Our graphics are limited on the interior and exterior allowing our structure to make a bolder statement. Everything that the customer uses has our logo on it like the cups, napkins, food packaging, menu and punch card hand outs. Our printed hand outs include a menu of all food options that is a circular in shape and can be folded to easier storage. Our other hand out is a punch card - for every 10 meal punches, you will receive a free meal.

story board (left) 1. Our street food is almost visible from anywhere on Porta Ticinese because of its parasitic and structural effect on the area. The customer views il NIDO and is drawn into wanting to experience its features. 2. The customer makes his/her way over to the structure. 3. The customer can then enter the structure through a staircase or elevator, both efficient ways of accessing the structure. 4. On the way up an LCD menu screen provides the options of the day. 5. Once accessing the top floor the customer experiences the parasitic structure breaking into the building. 6. The customer then enters the structure and walks up to the register, paying 5 euros for the pizza and drink. 7. The customer receives a slip that allows him/her to order food. 8. The customer walks around the pod to the pizza topping station. 9. At the pizza topping station the customer may pick up to 3 toppings, not including the sauce and or cheese. 10. The pizza is placed on the conveyor belt where it heats up under the lamps, while the customer watches their food circle around the pod to the drink station. 11. The customer hands in their slip to order their drink and receive their pizza. 12. The customer can then venture to the window to enjoy the view from above the Collone.
advertisement proposals (page #) 1. During our opening weekend, we will offer balloon rides in the Colonne which is located directly across the street from our street food restaurant. These rides relate to our structure’s largest selling point, the panoramic bird’s eye view. 2. We will hire people to run around Milan in these oversized hamster balls it advertise for our street food restaurant. 3. Spheres parasited to buildings and scattered throughout the city on lamp posts. These spheres light up and will direct you to our structure. 4. Collone is always a busy place at night, so why not have an unplanned event for our potential customers. A special band will perform on the rooftop of il NIDO, and free goodies will be handed out all night. 5. Who doesn’t like advertisement you can play with! Beach balls with our logo on it will take over Milan. These beach balls will be thrown out at the unplanned event as well.
TD BANK COMPETITION
project overview Collaborative project with 4th year Architecture students. The project was to design TD Bank’s “Bank of the Future.” My class’ site was located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We had to incorporate new technology and sustainable systems that interpret our opinion of where banking will be in the year 2020. Along with designing the exterior of the building and its interior, we also had to incorporate sustainable systems into our overall design. The project lasted 5 weeks. Our project was titled “Banking Without Boundaries” because we felt that in the future, the walls of the bank will break down and become a standalone electronic ATM for customers to either walk up to or drive up to.
concept As banking evolves, TD Bank can become a symbol within the community by simply creating a focal point in a public area. “Banking Without Boundaries” allows TD Bank to go anywhere and be anywhere
1
project process During the 5 week long process, executive members from TD Bank came to our school to talk to students and give input during our scheduled critiques. It was different workng with an actual client that know exactly what they were looking for and design for the trend and generation they were seekig to attract.

Among the elements my group incorporated into our design is a touch screen ATM wall where customers can bank on their own with a TD Bank representative nearby for assistance if needed. This wall holds up to 8 touch screens, including 1 exterior ATM. There are two elements based on the community and their presence within the bank. One of them is a mural that you see when you walk in. As you walk by the mural, the image changes from a photo taken in the 1960’s to the exact same image but the photo is taken in present day. The second element is a sitting area that can easily be transformed to become an education area with a projector screen for TD Bank employees to give classes on how to bank.

BANKING WITHOUT BOUNDARIES AS BANKING EVOLVES TD BANK CAN BECOME A SYMBOL WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BY SIMPLY CREATING A FOCAL POINT IN A PUBLIC AREA.

It was different workng with an actual client that knew exactly what they were looking for and design for the trend and generation they were seekig to attract. I was able to use the information I had gathered from my previous Marketing classes and use those skills I have learned to set my group apart and successfully “sell” our project proposal.

Banking Wave outside Citizens Bank Park
On the right was an idea of how to bring the community into the bank. Every TD Bank has some sort of mural, whether old or new, that makes a statement of what town that bank is located in. Our idea was to mix the old and the new with a holographic image of an old olympic pool and an overlay of the same pool as it is now. As the customer walks by the mural, the image meshes together and changes from old to new.

Germantown Community Theater Multipurpose Theater project overview This Community Theater project took the whole Fall semester to complete. The project was to design and document a Community Theater for Germantown with the ability to showcase art and the talent of the community. I chose to design a multipurpose theater where performers can sing, dance, or give speeches. Along with a graphic and verbal presentation that followed the design process, we were also required to constuct a CD set of our theater proposal.
concept The main concept behind the form of the theater structure was the intertwining relationship that two dancers have together. Specifically, inspired by how the male dancer supports the female dancer and how their bodies weave around eachother’s in order to execute difficult moves.
1
project materials Along with applying my concept of an intertwining relationship to the spacial planning layout and the structural aspect, I also used this as a basis for materiality by chosing one choice of materials in the lobby and congregational spaces and a completely difference choice on the interior of the theater. The lobby was comprised of concrete floors, exposed structure, and copper patina walls on the exterior of the theater volume. The interior of the theater consisted of neutral carpet for accoustical purposes, aqua seating, a variation of sizes of wood mismatched on the walls, and floating white accoustic panels with slits scattered throughout to allow light to come through.
