Once wetlands at the end of the Bronx watershed, Hunts Point is now the center of food distribution for New York City. While providing a vital service to the city, the food distribution has negatively impacted the neighborhood by bring in 15,000 trucks a day and occupying most of the waterfront. This expanding industry has led to high asthma and a lack of connection Coastalrates Protection to the river. The events of Protect Hurricane Sandy also highlighted the 1 Million vulnerability of the industry to flooding and storm surge.

Through this framework, this project proposes a replicable strategy for resilient, well-connected economic hubs. Condition 1 is in existing markets, where essential infrastructure is inserted to meet sellers’ needs. The empty market interior will be converted to an infrastructure hub for vendors and the community. Site Condition 2, expansion of the market into secondary roads, will trigger development of road infrastructure and upgrade the neighborhood. Site Condition 3, mobile markets borrow institutional spaces for commercial activity, while providing social and educational opportunities. Responsibilities: Conducted on site research, GIS analysis, and design research, Collaborated on framework and schematic design, Planned project schedule and storyboarding, Lead development of project for publication

The Gashora girls’ boarding school is a project for the Rwanda Girls Initiative. The project comprise of a school, community center, dormitory, cafeteria, and faculty housing. Site design involves a series of agricultural field for the girls to learn about Barriers Girl’s Education agriculture, grow their own food to and provide additional income for the school. The design team consulted with Washington State University Agricultural Department in the design of the site plan and fields.
SCHOOL
TERRACED AGRICULTURAL FIELDS
A challenge of the remote location of the school is all that resource must be generated and collected on site. Energy comes from photo-voltaic panels and backup generators. Collecting cisterns are located at each program element to provide for the water needs. The main goal of the school is to provide a sense of community for the girls away from home. The courtyard design of the school offers a safe sheltering environment while providing a central gathering space for the girls to socialize. Consideration in the design was to maximize ventilation and sunlight into the classroom. Responsibilities: Assisted on design charrette and fundraising package for schematic design of school. Produce construction drawings.

Saintes, France
The city of Saintes is the historical and cultural center of the PoitouCharente Region base on its medieval and classical roots. While Saintes is admired for its rich culture heritage, many youths move out to more robust cities in search of economic opportunities. For the redevelopment of a former hospital site, the proposal seeks to bring renewed cultural development and attention to the city by an Arts Center. Much like the blending of new and existing buildings on the site, the Art Center seeks to attract contemporary art mediums to Saintes while keeping traditional art forms alive. The Historical Governor’s manor will house the traditional French Culinary Arts while a new modern Complex will house Media and Art Studios. The site challenges were to define clear circulation and draw visitor to the site from Cours Reverseaux on the west. In addition, the circulation sought to bridge the topography divide between the commercial strip and the residential to the east.

Los Angeles Chinatown’s main center of activity, along Hill and Broadway, is a largely tourist area with relatively few public amenities for residents. It is easily access by the bus lines, the Yellow Line light rail system and Union Station. The area host a number of art gallery with a blossoming arts scene. The site, located on Broadway and Bernard, has large prominence at the edge of the commercial strip. The site has potential to create a gateway to Chinatown from the North.

Commercial farms are now a mainstay of the rural landscape. It is not only domesticated animals that call farms home, wild animals also depend on the farm as a form of habitat. Therefore, it is increasing important to develop farmland with biodiversity in mind. Columbia County a rural community situated with the Hudson river to the west and with the Tactonic Mountain Range to the east, both of which are vital habitat within the region. There is more than 47,000 acres of croplands and range of crops from apple to sod grass. While there is a domination of feed and industrial crops in Columbia County instead of food crops, the crop plots are relatively small at 1.57 acres which means more likelihood in diversity.

OMI Pavilion Ghent, New York
The OMI Pavilion is to realize data to built form from the initial research of Columbia County. This educational pavilion is meant display and realize the amount of agriculture and urban run off from Columbia County. The roof structure is meant to gather rain water and display the density of crop lands. The pipe landscape below is meant of capture wind and represent the wind condition on site of the ground. The pipes that continue on the ground is a visualization of the roof above and displays the density of crop. Programs: ArcGIS Map & Scene: Visualizing Data Rhino and Grasshopper: Designing with Data
