I NTERES TS URBA N E N G AG E ME N T Architecture is interdisciplinary, one that engages buildings, landscape, and the urban context. Buildings should be situated to facilitate integration with the community through building design and performance.
BUILDING + LANDSCAPE Meaningful architecture considers the wider context. Not only should buildings be situated and respectful to the environment, but should also consider how the they interact with the ground and how landscape can be interwoven into the building.
P OE TIC Architecture is both poetic and practical. A building’s meaning should be reflected in it’s function, use, program and performance. For example, an archive takes the act of displacing material from it’s original context as a point of departure for the building’s design.

Architecture requires an engagement with the user. This engagement should be specifically defined and refined according to situated use. For example, a pavilion situated at a museum is engaged through seeing, walking around, and surrounding one’s self in the context of the courtyard of the museum. A pavilion that tessellates is a commentary on the visual relationship of objects and visitors in a museum: how a piece of art can have multiple readings.

The strategy of inserting housing into an existing courtyard located in Stuytown is one that pushes back against the tabula rasa approach, working with existing conditions. With an ever increasing immigrant population, Stuytown welcomes and provides assistance for immigrants transitioning and assimilating to New York culture. With a clear urban strategy, Stuytown opens itself up to 1st Avenue parallel to the courtyard, becoming externally engaged. By welcoming in the wealth of the city into the complex, the residents, as well as the building itself, are integrated into the urban fabric and culture. The sleek graphite form that contrasts with the existing brick and envelopes the interior of the courtyard creates an internally defined atmosphere. As a result, residents feel a sense of both security and openness. This dichotomy is expressed formally, materially, and programmatically.

CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE In densifying housing within an existing Stuytown courtyard, initial questions were driven by the following two thoughts. Firstly:

“Both internally defined, and externally engaged means that the architecture in which it is housed must be both enclosed and open�

- David Leatherbarrow Thinking became centralized around how this courtyard could be opened up to the street, breaking the monotony of the brick facades that line 1st Avenue. Secondly, How can the character of the courtyard be manipulated so that the character of the buildings begin to change? From this, the challenge became how to create a sense of place in an otherwise transitional avenue for residents so that New Yorkers are brought inside to engage in the urban setting.

SITE + MASSING STRATEGY Massing studies transform the courtyard from a place of transition, to creating a new sense of place. A series of boolean manipulations create a sense of place and an alternative language from the rectilinear building blocks. The goal was to maintain familiarity of the rectilinear grid, but breaking it and creating a secondary, layered alternative. As a result, directionality shifts allow for change in perspective and an inward and outward sense of place. Courtyards within the courtyard are formed, opening up the community to the street. By engaging the building with the street, the building becomes enmeshed in its urban framework, creating

porosity with the city fabric and reactivating it for public use. In addition, the building is lifted off the ground, providing commercial shops at the street level that seamlessly spill into the courtyard, further emphasizing the site’s urbanity. Due to this, people who otherwise would not come inside may enter the plaza. This project is one that deals with the seam or edge, materially, programmatically, and formally.

NEGOTIATING OLD + NEW, OCCUPYING THE EDGE
Double Story Atrium
Existing Brick Facade
The chunk explores how the existing brick building and the units meet the new extension made of zinc paneling. A grand atrium rises four stories, with arms that branch out to windows for study and gathering break-out spaces. Being that the building connections are lifted off from the ground, an additional level of courtyard space is provided for residents, giving a semi-private outdoor atmosphere. Large windows at the edge are flat or inset to provide outdoor terraces.

HOUSING UNITS While shared semi-private library space occupies the central links, housing occurs at the exterior links. Up to quadruple-story units are available, with a familiar suburban house section at the peak. At the scale of the unit, residents inhabit the edges of space, providing views down into the central courtyard. Shared space is formed in a similar language to that of the entirety of the courtyard where circular enclosure is implied.

ROOF CULTURE + SEAMLESSNESS At “the edge”, wrapping windows allow residents to inhabit both the old and new simultaneously, providing multi-directional views. While the two materials come together at a bold edge, the wrapping effect of the windows counteracts this hard seam. In the same way throughout the project, seams and alignments are shifted to provide a seamless transition and flow of space that wraps back onto itself.

In designing a branch library for the community of East Parkside, the challenge was to create a public environment that maintained the low height of the row home neighborhood while also taking advantage of its site at the corner of two main roads. Interlace Branch Library explores the relationship between hard and soft surface and the figure ground relationship of connecting building and landscape.

INTERLACING FORM, MATERIAL, PROGRAM This exercise began as a formal study, transforming two dimensional ideas about fluidity + the integration of a hard + soft language into a model. A network of pathways is laced through a more soft, submerged topological surface. This idea of a network was translated to the scale of the building, where a series of pathways intersect to encourage spontaneous interaction + gathering. Massing studies were done to explore programmatic intersections. The method of interlocking was used, unifying programmatic parts into a whole.

BUILDING FLOW + FORMAL LOGIC Like a sea cave where the flow of water overtime smooths a rock’s surface, in this building the flow of people within the community is registered in the building’s formal + material manifestation. Entrances, access points, + viewpoints are points of slippage, carved openings under or beside the building’s form inviting + guiding circulation. These critical points of access + views are further accentuated by material difference, where glass volumes reveal an inner energy that contrasts against the sinuous monolithic volume of the building.

Situated in the courtyard of the existing Penn Museum and bridging a gap between the past, present, and future, this archive is a link between historical objects, the present Penn Museum, and spaces where objects are given significance for future study. All are intertwined in a feedback loop reinvigorating the other through a carving of space and a fragmentation of form that implies or generates new connections.

Conceptual Narrative - Diagrams of Concept of Displacement, Impression, and Memory
Collections of objects + documents exist in fragments, often separated physically by type or size, but meaningful when unearthed, staged, + pieced together. This archive embodies this concept of displacement and re-contextualization. It also provides connection between objects separated from their original context + given new meaning through archivists + researchers. It reflects a mediation between a displaced whole, through a dialectic of completion + incompletion, inside + outside, solid + void, and presence + absence.

PROGRAM, MEMORY + IMPRESSION Just as archival objects are re-contextualized, cone-like forms carve through the building and are displaced above, activating points of inflection connecting public + private space. The rigid, carved-out portion below creates the private spaces – object and document storage along stepped walls, staging areas, + circulation for archivists and researchers. The dynamic, displaced forms above house the public spaces – classrooms, research spaces and gallery – creating vital points of entry from the existing museum down into the new archive. Window impressions are formed from the central cone, which is displaced below ground

creating the vital point of connection from one end of the archive to the other. However above ground, the central cone only exists as a memory, with impressions left over that create the landscaped ground, window openings, and become registered moments in the plan above ground. The result is fragments of space that are understood within the context of the larger building.

URBAN ENGAGEMENT This archive not only thoughtfully engages with the museum, creating new entrances from the existing building facade, but also engages with the street. The concrete form is cut off where the street begins, creating a cantilevered urban setting for respite underneath. A large bay window from the gallery activates views of the activity on the street towards the stadium. The ground-scape that echoes the forms above creates a vibrant, open, urban plaza.

TP TE S S E L L ATE PAVILI O N PennDesign Professor Team
501 First Year Studio, Fall 2017 Ben Krone Group Project
This pavilion was conceived as an installation within the courtyard of the Penn Museum. Exploring the relationship of part to whole, this structure is the aggregation of one form expressed on three scales, that displays two primary conditions: open and closed. A flattened image of solid over void is perceived in elevation. However, from any other angle, the pavilion complicates - even directly opposes this initial condition. Parts are pushed and pulled in space, component scales are shifted, and connection points are varied to suggest new readings of the same structure. In essence, the pavilion explores the consequence of multiple interpretations in three dimensions: the expansion of space when the appearance of surface shifts to that of volume, and the inversion of structure as the appearance of mass becomes that of void. The result is a material, spatial language for multiple readings.

TESSELLATION + IMPLIED SPACE CONCEPT Similar to the way that displayed objects in museums can have multiple readings, this pavilion explored this notion of seeing. Taking tessellations as a point of departure, a component was generated that would allow for two different readings. Translating this into three dimensions, this explores the presence and absence of space, or implying space. This notion was adapted from the container study (opposite page) where the container not only held the object, but implied or became one with the object, understood as one whole in unison.

The resulting final pavilion was constructed at 5 feet in height - half scale of the actual 10 feet pavilion sited in the Penn Museum courtyard. The configuration accentuates the “closed” and “open” readings of the components as they are aggregated, and how this affects the overall reading as one moves around and interacts with it. Components are flipped, twisted, and varied in scale. To create depth and enclosure, the components are pushed and pulled in plan in space, maintaining a flattened reading in elevation, while being spatial in actuality.

FABRICATION + ASSEMBLY Hundreds of components were fabricated using our custom made jigs at three different scales. Polystyrene sheets were cut and prepared for insertion into the jigs, which were then heated and formed on both sides. Once they were created, assembly began by attaching the components to one another in two different ways: through a form joint at the front nose or backside of the component, or a frame joint on the outer edge. The final result is a pavilion that encourages interaction, and engages through seeing.

The Industry City Apiary + Food Center is a cultural attraction, not only providing local honey and by-products to the New York City area but also creating a new conception of what “nature” in a building can be. Rather than a typical greenhouse where plants grow on their own in a static and regular layout, this building hosts both nature, as well as visitors, intertwining the two through the building structure, form and composition. As a result, visitors can interact with nature in a new and engaging way by entering the building. Urban nature and bee homes are intertwined with human spaces, both informing the other. This speaks to the symbiotic feedback loop of bees as pollinators in the larger ecosystem. Through educational programming, harvesting pollinators and generating local produce, the building nourishes the Metropolitan area. It stands as an indication of the intricacies, symbiotic nature, and our reliance on a wider ecosystem. Located in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, the Industry City Apiary + Food Center harnesses the area’s industrial past, rethinking what manufacturing is today in relation to a food center.

FORM FINDING + SLIVER SPACES The scheme builds upon the sliver space culture that has transformed the interstitial space between the re-developed manufacturing warehouses on the site into shared, activated public space. Reappropriating this notion, the buildings’ slivers create public circulation, views, and access for bees in and out of the building. Form finding began by exploring both stereotomic and tectonic massing, and the integration of the two systems. The primary interest was maintaining a gridded, sliver system while at the same time introducing a secondary, competing directionality. This developed into a system where slivers or gaps in the building align
with a gridded tectonic moire of steel columns providing a system for plants to grow on, while supporting a concrete cladding system enclosing the building’s mass. The secondary smaller members create a dense grid, at times so dense the system reads as figural, blurring the boundaries between mass and structure. The heavy mass stops at moments to reveal a continuation of structure on the interior, creating an interior-exterior garden condition for honey bees to roam.

MATERIALITY A series of casting experiments were done to extract qualities that inform materiality as well as massing. Moments of reveal, interior pockets, soft vs. hard transitions, and a gradient of textures and sizes were explored. These elements were then applied to the larger massing, where a shell of concrete casted panels of varying sizes creates different densities of grids, creating an interplay with the tectonic.

TECTONIC MOIRE - URBAN GARDEN The Honey Bee is an essential part of the pollination of plants and therefore the “growing local” movement. This building celebrates this process by creating an urban apiary that nurtures and produces bees, greenery, honey, and its by-products. A restaurant and market provide consumption and distribution spaces to enjoy the fresh honey, vegetables, fruits, and herbs. A compost system rounds out the process, creating a feedback loop where the building and nature sustain themselves.

DICHOTOMIES: HEAVY / LIGHT + URBAN / NATURE Through nurturing honey bees and local produce, nature and human interaction become intertwined within the building. The building’s form further facilitates this through reveals in its mass, where structure becomes a host to dense greenery, to the point of being figural and solid. In contrast, what seems to be a heavy concrete mass that makes up the building, is carved away, creating an interior network of pocketed space.

Designer + FF&E Coordinator, 2015-2017 Joel Sanders, Greg Epstein, Marco Li
Prior to graduate school, I was an Architectural Designer and Marketing Coordinator at Joel Sanders Architect (JSA), an awardwinning design firm in New York City. In addition to contributing to design tasks and becoming proficient in AutoCAD, I became the lead FF&E coordinator (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) where I established budgets, concepts, interior material palettes, builtin furniture designs, and coordinated with clients and vendors for residential projects. Additionally, I developed an understanding of how architects combine text, diagrams and images to express their design concepts to clients through leading the search for and preparing RFPs, RFQs (requests for proposals, qualifications), invited competitions, and press packages. Finally, working directly under Joel Sanders I conducted research and assisted in receiving several successful grants for Stalled!, a Best Practice guidelines for safe, sustainable, and inclusive restrooms. For this 2,500 SF West Village apartment, I coordinated the FF&E by presenting furniture concepts to the client, coordinating with vendors for implementation, designing built-in furniture, and coordinating the photoshoot. The apartment accomodates a second level for bedrooms while maintaing the architectural integrity of an industrial loft. The floating, wood-clad volume that houses the private bedrooms defines a series of linked spaces - entry hall, media-home office, circulation path, kitchen-dining area and a den - each with its own atmosphere, created by a unique color and material palette. * Awarded Best Of Year 2017 by Interior Design Magazine
