identity

the expectations of soho as a neighborhood and a place of residence propose a need for a formal language that is both indicitive of the rich history and yet unique to the conditions of an ever evolving metropolis. how do we design to inspire a promising future for new york without diminishing its historic role in the shaping of residential architecture?

fracture

innovation of any and every design implementation at times requires a seismic shift in the trajectory of an urban planning development. to oppose the historic vision of designers in an architecture rich city takes careful attention and intention when designing programmatically flexible exhibits that are defined by unique forms and at times the shaping of geometrically foreign housing for those spaces.

free verse

much like the artistic flexibility of loosely constructed free verse poems, a unique architecture present in south beach must allow its guests to operate within gestural pragmatics and functional spaces. how do we open interpretation of an object,, or a specific destination as the key to maximizing intrigue of the user and the ultimate flexibility of how that place can be organized?
