PROTOPARAMETRICISM Mass pulls. Weight falls. Density obscures. Expand the edges of an initial condition, derive new focus, and reveal the system at a later point in time. Discovery segued into an architecture proposal for a “frozen motion” pavilion. Did removing time from the equation free the body from gravity?

POROUSSPECTACLE Simultaneous occupation leads to conflict. Man is selfish and selfless, friendly and reserved, multifaceted and unpredictable. The only to way satisfy is to throw him at himself. This series of spaces for two occupants promoted constant but varying degrees of engagement and argued for the value of learning from one’s equals in all phases of life.

HIGHERGROUNDS The archive was cited on a corner lot in Chinatown. I abstracted the three main forms of interaction between people and journals into three main programs: read, write, and display. Fully divorced into three separate structures, a new ground plane was established for circulation between them elevated off of the density and clamor below.

MICROTOPOGRAPHY Hill complex, an artist’s retreat and botanical garden in the Bronx,uncovered “nature” as and unbuilt textures. The constructed project attacked visual and concurrent instances of occupant-texture interaction by intersecting circulation and private spaces on varying scales.

CHAINLINKOBLIGATIONS There is a critical contradiction in the freshman experience at Pratt: outside of the architecture program, students are not given dedicated studio spaces. To compensate, the bedroom often becomes the work space without being specifically designed for it. Here, coupled duplexes split two modes of living: work and leisure, over two floors for every student.

GENERATIVEGEOMETRY All boundaries are conventions. Analytical drawing is synonymous with obscurification. An investigation of OMA’s distributed house was used as a battleground between my affinity for deconstruction and graphical clarity.

COLORCOMPOST What started as geometric studies and exercises in modeling evolved into an architectural proposition in the Higgins Hall Pit. Warmth, color, and image integration were at the center of this rendering series. How could an inherently unbuildable form be meshed with imagery from the built world?

PHOTO GRAPHY Outside of class (and for work),
I enjoy model and architectural photography. It’s fun making basswood look more real.
