BROOKLYN BABY HOUSING TOWER
03
01 BROOKLYN BABY HOUSING TOWER Professor Erich Schoenenberger Fall 2017 This project was a proposed housing tower located in downtown Brooklyn. The overall design of the tower focused on the distribution of spaces in relation to the pinches, cuts, and fillets that happen in plan, section, and elevation. The interior organization dealt with adjacencies, unit sizes, and unit types to create areas of similarity within in the larger whole. Development of the plan and section relied mainly on the expression of circulation around static elements in order to mediate between the variable exterior skin.

STUDIO CAIRO INCINERATOR + BAZAAR

02 STUDIO CAIRO INCINERATOR + BAZAAR Professor Erich Schoenenberger SPRING 2018 This project is a result of the combination of two vastly different programs: a trash incinerator and a bazaar. My partner Elham Goodarzi and I studied the standard path of an incinerator and its parts to understand how this system could be deconstructed. This study led to the overall organization of the incinerator. The path of the incinerator was the basis for the massing of the building and led to the development and shaping of the bazaar. For the design of the bazaar we took elements from vernacular architecture and abstracted the scale to implement in different areas of the project. The larger forms became stencils used to carve out openings from the main mass for the entrance of the bazaar. The small forms were used to develop the language of the plan. One main point of the project is the circulation from the lower plateau to the middle plateau through the bazaar. The circulation through bazaar is based off the location of light wells. The light wells are organized over the main courtyards throughout the project. The courtyards are the points of vertical circulation and create multistory links between the levels of the bazaar.

OBJECT STRANGE OBJECT-ORIENTED ONTOLOGY
25
03 OBJECT STRANGE OBJECT-ORIENTED ONTOLOGY Professor James Kerestes Fall 2015 This project was informed by the methodology of object-oriented ontology. The main influences for this project was the work of Mark Foster Gage and Graham Harman. Using the words “embed” and “nestle,” primitive geometries were combined into many different compositions. From this, a catalog of design operations was developed that helped guide the design process. This catalog diagrams the process used to generate a complex form from primitive geometries. A language was developed to determine specific actions, this included the words “nestle” and “embed.” The first iterations, shown in the light gray rows, were a result of nestling or embedding one primitive geometry within itself. The medium gray row shows the iterations created by combining two of the primitive geometries, and the dark gray row shows the combinations containing three or more geometries. The darkest squares acknowledge the combinations that comprised the final form.

04 OBJECT STRANGE CENTER FOR THE MUSICAL ARTS Professor James Kerestes Fall 2015 This project is a continuation of the previous investigation into objectoriented ontology. The resulting object, created through the process of nestling and embedding, was placed on an urban site. Instead of focusing on the ecology of the site, the building was viewed as an object on a plane. The object was once again influenced by the words “embed” and “nestle” when determining its placement on the site; as it is embedded in the ground. The program of the building is the study and creation of the musical arts. The spaces produced in the building allow for interactions between the programs in unique ways. The studios have a prominent location in the center of the building. They intersect through the majority of spaces and programs in the building. This allows for the creation and study of music to be accessible throughout the entire building. The circulation doubles as gallery spaces that wrap around the music studios. There are two performance spaces that can cater to either public or private events. The main public attraction is the outdoor amphitheater on the ground floor that is enveloped by the building. The design is intended to create an experience that puts the process of making music on display and encourage the interaction between programs.

HOUSE STUDIO X HOUSE

05 HOUSE STUDIO X HOUSE Professor Jing Lui FALL 2018 This studio set out to explore the future of the house and domesticity. This project’s main focus was to create new social structures by questioning things such as privacy and ownership. This house looks at how voyeurism can impact the relationship between three separate units. The house ignores the exterior context and focuses on the internal views between units. The circulation and spatial arrangement within each unit react to this voyeuristic condition and provides a certain level of privacy based on each occupant’s needs. The relationship developed between the three units promote a new kind of interaction and intimacy between neighbors.
