THREE HOURS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE.

Current generation airport terminal design does little to mitigate the congestion and que of waiting in line to board an aircraft. There is a constant que to check bags, go through a security checkpoint and wait for your aircraft on uncomfortable chairs, they are dsigned for current demand with a design that has little possibility of growth or expansion.

Terminal 7 seeks to change that, maximizing the utility of the site to increase the number of aircraft served in a given time, while creating an experince that removes ques through the use of tecnology and flow organization creating a passenger experience that brings the enjoymnet of flying back to the masses as opposed to the privilaged few. Terminal 7 is also capable of growth into the surrounding terminal zones creating a continuous terminal building that would maximize JFK’s effeciency and passenger loads while also finally giving a unified architectural language to the airport.

The check in lobby was directly in the center of the two wings of the aiprort. It hangs suspended over the JFK expressway which brings the majority of the passengers in and out of the airport. It was intended to serves as a literal bridge between the two terminals, allowing passengers to more easily reach their gate in such a large airport. The interior, being mainly glass hung between structural members allows the passengers to view the tower hotel and retail sector. The tower was intended to be viewed from all points in the building, serving as a destination and waypoint to orient the user within the building. The airport was designed for a future date of 2050 where technology has increased to the point that security no longer needs to be an architectural concern when designing the airport.

This allowed the design to be much more fluid and have less intereruptions of space.

As such, the form follows this programmatic style, and is intended to be sweeping and gently bending from one space to anoother.

Arch 403- Enrique limon PArtner: Tareck Shaheen

The interior spaces of the terminals were inteded to be airy and inviting. The floor plan is very open allowing ease of travel down the long hallways. A mesh facade was used to allow for more light to enter the spaces while cutting down on intense solar glare. This mesh allows for more views out to the planes and the airport itself, and also allows the tower to be viewed from the entire airport. The tower serves as a landmark which can help orient and guide the user throughout the airport.

The skin of the airport also opens up to allow for uninhibited views out to the tarmac, and also allows the jetbridges to interface with the building directly. The shopping concourse is integrated with an interior parkscape which is supposed to mimic the idea of an urban street.

People are able to relax and wait for their planes in this green area instead of being forced to sit in the waiting areas by the gates. This green space was achievable with the mesh facade, which lets in more light than a standard airport facade.

The tower is a mix of program; the base of the tower includes a shopping mall that is a continuation of the shopping concourse from the terminal levels. The middle of the building The structure is a long span truss system that integrates with the facade system, traveling down the curved face. The skin of the building then peels away as it travels up the tower, allowing for views of the tarmac from the hotel rooms.

Columbia University Boathouse

Arch 302 - Critic: Erica Goetz Partner: Katerina Paitazoglou

The Colombia Boathouse is located in Upper Manhattan or Harlem. The project was to redesign the aging boat storage and gym facilities that Colombia currently owns on the site.

The boathouse has to accomodate for roughly 40 varsity boats and 20 community owned boats of varying sizes, some up to 50’ long. Our design initiative was to create a building that looked like was doing a physical activity. The structure is expressed clearly on the facade, showing the massive truss systems we incorporated in order to achieve large spans. Under each of the spans the boat storage is located. All the condtioned space was required to be 13’ above river level in preperation for another 100 year storm like Sandy.

Our design created a flowing form of walkable surfaces allowing people to walk from the top of the hill all the way through to the bottom near the river by traversing the exterior roof deck. The roof decks skin would also bend and pull to create different typologies. For instance on the sides the skin created apetures when it peels up and away.

On flat roof deck areas, the roof structure pulls into benches allowing seating for viewing of crew races or practices. The roughly 60k floor plan also has a gym where there are 30 rowing machines, as well as locker rooms, classrooms, and lounges.

The panels on the side mimic the benches on the top surfaces of the building. They allow passive ventilation in through the operable glass facade to promote green sustainable energy practices. Under the building there is space for parking, benches for sitting, and also boat storage, making the exterior space an integral component to the building. The building is enterable from the ground level where the parking and the road to the street is located, pedestrians can also enter the building from the third floor lobby and proceed down the stairs in the building.

The circulation is completely customized depending on who is accessing the building.

Columbia Boathouse

The building had to be elevated at least 13’ off of the rivers edge in complaince with the FEMA regulations.

This allowed the crew boat storage to occupu that space, as well as some other non essential functions such as parking and benches. The Gym, as well as the community center and the video room. The top floor contains the lobby, which connects to the top of the hilll. The buildings ramp roofs connect the top of the hill all the way down to the ground level.

This interconnectedness extends into the interior of the building which offers the most variety for circulation.

The Pratt Dormitory was designed to be a seamless social experience from the ground floor to the top floor. The common space wound its way up allowing for people to move entirely through common zones and increase the amount of exposure to the other students from Pratt Institute. Each bedroom unit on each floor was layed out in a an apartment styled configuration to both maximize the privacy of each occupant, and also to increase social interactivity within the units. Thus, a two tiered system was created to allow occupants to be exposed to other students and to promote and foster healthy social interactions in a school that has a very divisive student population. The ground floor of the building has special ADA styled rooms, as well as galleries and showroom spaces to display artwork that the students produce.

Flux Pods: Far Rockaway

Arch 402 - Critic: Zehra Kuz Partner: Austin Eifler Awards: Pratt Archive

This ARCH 402 studio was focused on green and sustainable building practices for making low cost, impactful architecture. The studio partnered with community groups such as WEACT from Far Rockaway, to come up with solutions to Far Rockaways pressing concerns and needs. The community sited its concerns over the gentrification of Far Rockaway, a popular tourist sited during the summer because of its beaches. Weact and others in the community spoke of the need for more infastructure, and job creating opportunities, that would be entirely structured and geared towards the residents. The design proposal for the FLUX PODS, was to create a series of modular spaces from reclaimed materials such as shipping pallets or shipping containers, and allow them to be repurposed in a way to house a variety of different programs. For instance, Flux Sleeper pods would create termporary housing that could be built for a low sum, and then rented to people who visit during the summer, and the proceeds would be directly added to the community. Flux surf, would allow the local surf shop businesses to become mobile and take their business directly to the beach, and in the winter, allow them to travel to other states if necessary. All of these solutions were made with the community and the costs in mind.

FLux Sleep

FLUX Sleeper is a modular system that uses refurbished shipping containers to become two person sleeping cells. In combination with each other they create a communal one season area where occupants can socialize.

The pods can also be converted into classroom spaces in order to serve the communities needs. It features an angled roof to reduce the solar heat gain of each individual unit, as well as a roman curtain system which is in place to shade the outdoor communal cooking area. The building also utilizes reclaimed wooden pallets. These are stacked and made into bench systems, railings for the above unit decking, and also vertical wall planters. A huge emphasis of this studio was to create sustainable architecture that is also economical and environmentally concious while still reeducing costs.

Flux Surf

Surf FLUX is a mobile surf shop and rental store. A need was expressed by the Far Rockaway community for outreach programs and intergration of the community to the waterfront area, which they feel they are isolated from. An initiatibve has been undertaken by the local surf shop owner to teach people how to swim and surf using rental boards and summer classes to the youth of the area. This Pod can house many surf boards, as well as tables and equipment to repair and sustain them. There are also living accomodations within the pods so that in the offseason the owner can live in it. Mobility was a large design concern, and by placing the pod on a trailer hitch, allows it to be pulled by a normal van or truck. This allows the freedom for cross country travel in different seasons so that the surfers can chase the perfect waves. .

Manhattan Arboretum Library

Arch 202 - Critic: Marc Schaut

The Manhattan Arboretum Library was conceived as a way to strengthen the communal sense of Manhattan’s Chinatown. The library is intended to provide a number of key services to the members of the surrounding area. The library is to function as a fully cohesive library but also offer valuable space for the program of urban farming. A green roof is implimented onto the design roughly 40’x30’ in which there would be numerous planters for community members to access and cultivate. This program stems from the research of food island effects in megacities, and the lack of fresh and cheap produce.

The building also features a vertical hanging greenwall on the street side of the building. Multiple layers of opacity exist in the building, from the total opacity of the concrete walls, to the medium metal mesh screens that coat the outside, to the bookshelves creating their own effect as they serve as light filters for the interiors.

Professional Work

The project pictured to the right was a design competition for a hotel chain in Bermuda created

by LimonLab architects. The client requested a Hotel proposal that would be constructed out of recycled shipping containers. The criterion was that the buildings should feel light and airy as an combined form, allowing for views out to the water on both ends. Each of the 5 seperate building chains were to be connected by the groundscaping which is to serve as the tissue.

The landscaping featured pools and gardens for the guests to access, as well as restaurants and outdoor movie theaters. Each of the colorful masses represented a blackbox theater that would display arts movies, news of the Bermuda international boat races and more. My role in the project was research on container construction methods as well as proposal massing and concept investigations. I also produced the renderings and animations that were given to the client in a larger proposal.
