The massing exports the fragmentation of each figure as they interlock with one another. The single loaded corridors strictness is broken through this relationship with the fragments and they are defined by the cutouts in the massing. The city side produces a porous appearance, with a screen allowing the pedestrians to view what is just past the public multipurpose area. With the help of the facade, porosity flows throughout the building. some places in the building appears as though they reach the site, but it does not. Only facade does allow people to walk beneath that portion of the building. The aggregation juxtapose the different qualities that the figures present, while also introducing a different type of program for the public. Within the housing, there is an aquarium and research center. This allows for both the residents and the public to interact while also learning the different species in the river, maritime environments, and also brakish waters. The program for the figures is for both students and nonstudents. The figures clash with one another as they interlock, creating spaces for the residents to interact while also creating circulation.

EXISTENCE Critic | Adam Dayem Individual Studio 1 | Summer 2019
A pavilion designed to be inhabited by Ava, the humanoid artificial intelligence in Alex Garland’s film ‘Ex Machina’. She lives in an isolated and lonely existence with very few human internactions. She yearns for the human world and to live as a real human being. The idea behind this design is to ensure that Ava feels something new and extraordinary,but most of all, freedom, a birth right to every human. With that in mind, the goal was to have this pavilion embody her. It is designed to be open, symbolizing freedom as a natural right and to exist. The border in red embodies the relationship between Ava and humans, showing the rift in their perspective of surroundings and understanding. The borders designed to be intricate, imtimidating Ava’s brain. Additionally, the pavilion is a square shaped, to show that she is programmed to be consistent and reliable; However, the jagged design was also implemented that she is not stable and follows her will. The interior design lacks furniture and decorations, but is open and spacious, which describes her core, a robot with a simple wish.

TANG MUSEUM EXTENSION Critic | David Bell Individual Site | Skidmore College Studio 3 | Fall 2018
The extension of the Tang Museum is located in Saratoga Springs, New York. The project explores the landscape and juxtapose with the museum. The idea behind this project is openness and liberty. when exploring the site from the Tang Museum, there is an open courtyard which then follows to the enterance of the building. When walking through the walk-way of the building, the occupants will experience and see what is inside of the building on both sides. This is open to the public

viewing and it adds to the aesthetic and concept to the design. It is a way to provide an experience for the individual to see what is behind the glazing glass walls and to make them feel connected with the building. How the building relates to the site; the campus of Skidmore College: the ground floor lines up with the topography. The way how the building is oriented is that the axis lines up with Scriber Library. The library is the heart of Skidmore College. The building also lines up with the pond. The way how the axis is oriented, it lines up with its high and low points; the library being the high point and the pond being the low point.

THE CENTER Critic | John Loercher Partner | Lily Wood Site | Troy, NY Design Development | Spring 2019
The project is composed of two buildings, where the cube is resting upon a plinth, and each mass contains a different program. Each building is also distinguish by its structure and facade treatment. The plinth’s structure is steel framing, with a truss that supports its roof, and the cube’s structure is reinforced concrete. The plinth’s facade is brushed aluminum rain screen panels, and the cube has a semi-kinetic facade comprised of reflective aluminum panels, wherein the panels that cover areas with glazing are able to move when the wind blows. The plinth holds the transportation hub and parking lot. The cube holds the auditorium, black box theatre, and gallery museum space.

Covid-19 has affected many parts of the world and has changed life as we know it. Society now has to adapt to a new normal as the rate of infections are slowing down. As the world is adapting to new changes, architects are needed to help reshape spaces to a post-pandemic world. As the city expands, less public space is generated for casual occasions, so we want to build a library where travelers can spend leisure hours. For those who would prefer to spend their leisure time physically, an outdoor athletic gym is also implemented. In order to optimize this design, the building is built similar to an ant colony, in a way to help inhabitants socially

NORTH CENTRAL Critic | Gustavo Crembil Partner | Luke Korezenko & Alyssa Beard Site | Troy, New York Studio 6 | Spring 2021
The Life Cycle Studio is a joint Building Science and Architecture students opportunity to engage with and develop skills in an expanded research and design methodology for an existing retrofit building project. For this project, a library cafe was incorporated in the front of the building, located in the basement and first floor, for public space. For private space, there are three residents that are located in the back. So for our design concept, we wanted to express permanence relating to flexibility and stability. We have a wood curtain-like facade that wraps around the building. The purpose was to maintain privacy for residence and also deflect daylight. Now, the scaffolding is added. The scaffolding is a good alternative regarding construction speed and tight budgets. Although they are usually used as temporary structures, they also allow creating a quickly composed meeting space. But we wanted to incorporate it into our building. We have a rooftop deck dedicated for that space for the residences to hang out.
