Eli Eskenazi
Pratt Institute Undergraduate Architecture Portfolio
BIO Eli Eskenazi Boné is a Venezuelan design enthusiast who graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York with a B. Architecture + Construction Management Minor. Son of renowned Architect and founder of Artek Design Samuel Eskenazi, Eli began his practice working with his father on local projects where he gained a special interest in Caracas and the social aspect of architecture in Latin America. At Pratt, he founded the Latin American Student Assosiation (LASA) and participated as the Vice President of the Jewish Student Union (JSU). His work has been archived and published by the Pratt In-Process which allowed him to receive numerous scholarship awards including the Presidential Thomas Schutte Scholarship as he was selected the 2015 Pratt Legends student speaker. He has interned at Artek Design Corp. in Miami, Sarkes Proyectos y Construcciones in Caracas, Artek Remodelaciones C.A. in Caracas, Emre Arolat Architects (EAA) in Istanbul, and worked part time at Innerspace, SC Collective and Prudon & Partners in New York. During 2013 at Emre Arolat Architects (EAA) in Istanbul, Eli participated as a member of the design team of the II International Architecture Biennial of Antalya (IABA) which won an honorable mention for their installation design project “The Other” which was executed later on that year for the exhibition. Following that, in 2016 he was designated in a team to explore the possibility of expanding EAA into the Americas which lead to the design and construction of the “Contrasts” installation in Miami for the Complements & Dichotomies exhibition at 1111 Lincoln Road. Currently, Eli is working alongside Emre Arolat and Gonca Pasolar to establish the new EAA offices in New York, which will design all the office’s work located in America as well as develop several projects, exhibitions and competitions from the Istanbul and London offices.

Boathouse
Gonzalo Carbajo
NY, NY
This boathouse design proposal aims to redefine Columbia University's rowing team. With a site along the Hudson river, the space is used not only to store the boats themselves, but also for the athletes to prepare for the season. As part of the community interaction, the project proposes separate volumes that connect private and public spaces where the public can visit the facilities to use the locker rooms, boat storage, or gym. The facade systems respond to the programmatic relationships; the private spaces' exteriors are composed of a wooden and ceramic parametric system that creates openings to allow natural sunlight to enter the rooms and the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful view. In addition, the public spaces' exteriors consist of a steel framing system that holds glass louvers; by doing so, one becomes able to visually connect through the different programs while integrating the views of the boats and the river. The main goal of the project is to develop a more successful way to integrate the different programatic spaces as the idea is to conceptualize a private-public space which still holds its functional values.
AdaptĹ?
Graduate Dormitories
Donald Cromley
Brooklyn, NY
Located at Pratt Institute's Brooklyn campus in Clinton Hill, this graduate dormitory proposal develops the idea of adaptability among architectural conditions. The entire building consists of a “free plan� organization where the interior walls of all of the units can be reconfigured through time in order to adapt to the incoming graduate students according to their living needs. In addition, the facade system is composed of a double railing mechanism where panels slide freely and can be operated to regulate light and privacy throughout the day according to the programmatic conditions of each space. Each panel is designed to have a simple frame so that the graduate students can also become a part of the building's design by creating their own facade panels with simple fabrication operations; as a result, each person can walk to its terrace and take out a panel to allow more sunlight to come in or change it for another one that suits more the current needs. Moreover, the building has an open lobby entrance which leads to an open courtyard that provides public spaces for the students to work or interact with more privacy within the public context of the community.

THE FUTURE OF AVIATION: CREDO We believe that the use of aircraft The aircraft industry is expecting a seven-fold increase in air traffic by 2050, and a four-fold increase in greenhouse gas emissions unless fundamental changes are made. The crucial next step towards ensuring the aircraft industry becomes greener is the full electrification of commercial aircraft with zero CO2 and NOx emissions and energy sourced from power stations that are themselves sustainably fueled. as a mean of transportation In the near future, the global natural resources will become depleted and the primary mean of power generation will become solar through indirect fusion. Sustainable engine production for environmental concern is one of the problems that is most likely to affect the future of humanity. More efficient than combustion aircraft, the optimal air transport solution will become via electric supersonic commercial planes. will switch form horizontal to vertical takeoff and landing. At supersonic speeds, an aircraft could go from London to Shanghai in about seven and a half hours. That compares with more than 11 hours for a nonstop commercial flight and would cost only a fraction; therefore, flying will become a more frequent affair. An electric plane would have major environmental benefits, in addition to being quiet and fast since the planes wouldn't require a long runway to take off or land, airports could be smaller, allowing them to be built closer to popular destinations with individual terminals as small towers.
