This project aimed to investigate the possibilities of incorporating algae farming into an architectural project in an effort to create more sustainable architecture. Experimental algae growth panels were placed spanning across the littoral zone of the site. Algae were grown in a system of woven tubes made of ETFE that function similar to a closed bioreactor. The algae tubes range from being a floating dock on the water, to a south-facing wall, to a roof system covering outdoor terraces for laboratory spaces.

PROJECT SITING
This was one smaller component that fit into the larger programmatic extension of a research facility of the Scripps Institute. This facility was conceived of as a singular building developed by the entire studio by combining various sustainable components. This project was developed through the use of Grasshopper parametric modeling. This project was completed as a true partnership sharing the design ambitions. The images on these pages

Tiburtina Market sited: rome, italy Fall 2008 Design VII Andrea Simitch In Collaboration with Katie Kasabalis, Travis Fitch & Tim Liddell The program is mixed use between live, work and commercial. We saw the site as potential for the creation of a new kind of urban market, which could serve to act as an extension of the new high-speed train station. This urban market was developed through a modular system where each living unit had an attached work/commercial space. Variation was created through the placement of these units for different user types. These were organized in bars as smaller communities that could cater to artists, students or professionals. The different users have varying needs for privacy and commercial interaction that affect the character of the bars. The central zone of each bar is where this variation occurs because it is the public zone where artists can sell their produce/ sell their work, students can study or ofďŹ ces would occur for professionals. The new urban market is thus a direct connection between the residents, their work, and the general public entering the site as a gateway to the city

Work Experience Fall 2009 Slade Architecture Estee Lauder Shanghai, China These were a series of short design projects for Estee Lauder in China. These perfume counters were designed as prototypes for department stores in Shanghai. The design was for two different display walls and counters, the larger for DKNY’s Be Delicious and the smaller for Tommy Hilfiger. My contribution to the work was the design development of both counters as well as producing the presentation materials for the client.

Flight Club NY is a collectible sneaker store focusing on both consignment and new basketball shoes. This project was a new downtown location for the company. The client was interested in creating a minimalist urban environment with limited seating and display. The incorporation of a basketball court was added to the rear of the store for customers to try out the merchandise. My contribution to the project included working on the furniture and finishes of the store. Renderings were done in V-Ray fro Rhino
Work Experience Summer 2008 Freelance Drafting and 3-D Modeling Westchester, NY
The project began as some SketchUp 3-D modeling work for a local architect and then evolved into the working and construction drawings of the project. The addition included a new family room, kitchen and second oor as well as a new back deck.
Market Pulp sited: holyoke, ma Spring 2010 Design X: Thesis Dana Cupkova &Henry Richardson The paper trail has given way to the information highway and as a result conceptual structures and logical organizations have grown with complexity. Digital information access and display are challenges for the contemporary archivist, librarian, student, researcher or web user. Additionally the public availability of Internet challenges the permanence of the civic institution of the library. Its traditional typology, organizational strategies, lighting and structural necessities have changed. These changes call for a new typology of research and community library facility with potential for programmatic expansion and mobile extension. This new type can extend beyond the centralized building and outwards into both the ecologies of community and landscape. The digital library is an urban infrastructure which expands and compresses at various nodes but which permeates and interacts with existing fabric.

Emergent Slope sited: ithaca, ny Spring 2007 Design IV Michael Chen & Kari Andersen
“Emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.” This system analyzed the surface conditions of various types or coral erosion on an atoll island. These effects were then mimicked as field conditions through a series of digital transformations that can be seen in the line drawings on the right. These drawings and emergent effects were further investigated through physical modeling to be mined for their architectural potentials of surface, structure, enclosure, occupational flows and system flexibility.
Changing Rooms sited: everglades, fl fall 2005 Design I Archie Mackenzie In investigating acts of change, the range of motion of the arms and legs of the body was studied to generate a system of flexible rooms. These rooms could literally be used as a space to change clothes as well as having the capability to change form themselves. The various rooms contained systems for creating floors, benches and hooks, which could be adjusted to the user’s desire. This project dealt with notions of privacy and interaction between the users. Sited in the Florida everglades the changing rooms were a temporary place that was climbed into dependent on the tide. A meandering pool was also added to the program occasionally docking at the structure.

Museum for the Cold War sited: Berlin, Germany fall 2007 Design IV Werner Goehner The Museum for the Cold War is located in Berlin at an under-utilized site, which was once part of the no-man’s land, associated with the Berlin Wall. The wall at this particular location came in from the north turned at a right angle and headed east. The project was a memorial to the wall and the Cold War with a transparent wall, which could be circulated within. The project is also attempts to reconcile the two types of development occurring along the site of the former wall, that of commercial development and that of green space. The project uses the memorial to the wall as a connection between the two kinds of developments along the former wall site. It links East and West, history and the contemporary, all the while maintaining the division as an identiďŹ er of Berlin as a city. It also serves to extend the building beyond the site into the larger city further suggesting the presence of the wall.

Copenhagen Gallery sited: Copenhagen, Denmark spring 2006 Design II Felicia Davis Sited near the University of Copenhagen in the old city, this artist gallery/ residence began with a series of volumetric experiments about direction and orientation. The urban context of Copenhagen can be read as a series of inhabitable walls, punctuated by spires, and surrounding interior courtyards. The site emphasized these walls by facing two expansive blank ďŹ rewalls. The notion of the wall in contrast with the programmatic volume (both formally and materially) led to the ďŹ nal scheme. The artist residence occupies the south wall while galleries and artist workspace occupies the west wall. A small public plaza is created along the street and the wall creates a small pocket courtyard containing a cafe.
