REACTIVATING WASTELAND TRANSFORMING THE INDUSTRIAL SOIL AND WATER CYCLE

SP 2013

Since its inception, industry has been a vital asset of modern life. When a specific industrial center is no longer necessary, however, it withdraws, ceasing operations. This leaves the former site of production abandoned, creating a decline in the surrounding economy and a mental and visual subtraction within the adjacent community. Furthermore, the contaminants released into the soil, air, and water while it was operational present a vast number of problems for the future of the site, limiting the possibilities of potential development. Depending on the pollutants, the costs of renewal often outweigh the benefits, leaving the site underused and decrepit. The solution involves reactivating the community and reestablishing function in addition to remediating the site. One method of implementing this strategy is a biofuel factory and aquatic center on the former Kaiser Aluminum factory in Chalmette, LA. Within these programmatic components, overlapping the processes of bioremediation with the outcome of natural pools, crops for fuel growth, and contamination removal seeks to reinforce a cyclical nature of production, and perhaps one that could be implemented on a number of brownfield sites.

GREENLINE CONNECTION COMMUNITY SPACE ON A FORMER RAILWAY

FA 2012

The overall program of the artist colony consists of two individual elements: public and private. Uptown Arts highlights the two zones with a different material and a different faรงade strategy. Represented by an L-shaped mass, each concludes at a viewport symbolizing the beginning and end of the artistic journey: from the studio workspace to the exhibition space. With the main entrance located between the two wings in a central courtyard, it symbolizes an interjection and active participation into the journey by the visitors. Furthermore, all public spaces are located on the ground level separating the two zones and allowing for a connection in just a few critical moments. The intersection of the spaces blurs the definition of public and private, whereas the separation of the forms allows for a visual distinction of space through void.

GREENLINE HOUSING INCREASING DWELLING DENSITY

FA 2012

The housing typology in this scheme transforms the standard Hollygrove block in order to provide a higher level of density while still maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood. In addition to the residential units, commercial and live/work complexes are introduced to stimulate economic development while the Greenline project is constructed. Initially the street is fronted, providing a developed edge while the back is more open, framing the large green area. As the housing project develops, secondary fingers extend from the street to the Greenline, while green spaces extend back into the residential areas. The mix between the two creates a courtyard-like environment, where the residential units have access to both private and public outdoor areas. Additionally, certain aspects of the Greenline project are transferred on the site, including garden plots and pathways, to create a seamless interaction between the two areas.

NEW ORLEANS CULINARY INSTITUTE

SP 2012

Located on a once thriving street, the New Orleans Culinary Institute seeks to reactivate the area and assist in the development of other establishments. Due to its position on a corner that juts into the street, it is an implied terminus of two streets. One of these streets, St Andrew, connects to a major axis and one of the main culinary destinations throughout the city of New Orleans. With this in mind, the new construction will be another target along the major axis, and will therefore serve as a connection to the reactivation of the street that was once and soon will be flourishing. In terms of massing, the institute is a simple L-shape located at the front of the site. The shape is raised off the ground to reinforce the importance of the community garden; the source for culinary inspiration. By locating the most frequently used public spaces on the ground level, they become most accessible for visitors. The raised shape houses what is necessary for the instruction of students and the continuation of the college itself.

CENTRAL ORBIT PIAZZA INTERVENTION FOR ROME JUBILEE

NIGHT ACTIVITY

FA 2011

This two week long competition transformed Piazza Santa Maria in Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trastevere region into an area that can provide a comfortable space that accommodates the needs of the viewer while respecting how the space is already being used. As a performance node for the Jubilee of 2025, the piazza will be just one of many sites to cater to the influx of people to the city. Encouraging visitors to travel up and around the fountain reinforces its significance to the site and also provides more opportunities for the visitor to use the space in the manner in which he or she is accustomed. And, by increasing the roles of the fountain as a place to sit, watch, relax, socialize, and gather, the ascent upward allows for the certain key events including performance and informal seating, privileged views, and a bar and cafe under the newly sculpted ground plane.

LIGHT BOX

STUDY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

FA 2010

Light Box is a formal study of the possible interactions of space within given parameters. Through numeroous explorations of subtraction and union, the massing becomes a dynamic interaction between solid and void. With the introduction of specific apertures, light and shadow become the main focus. Resulting from the various compositional processes, the inner voids are accented by the indirect light patterns, creating a dramatic yet subtle experience. Furthermore, by using a variety of material, the light, shadow, and form are experienced in a number of different ways.

MAISON DOMINO

FOLDING AS FACADE STRATEGY

SU 2010

Using the customizable template of the Dom-ino house created by LeCorbusier, the goal of this five day charette was to establish a system of enclosure inspired by paper folding. Within this notion, the idea of repetition and modularity became an integral idea, formulating a series of pyramidal shapes that not only target views, but also introduce a unique pixelated light pattern inside. Additionally, the juxtaposition between the enclosed upper level against the open lower level helps to reinforce how a thin material can be manipulated into a heavy appearance.

COFFEE AND MARTINI BAR

SU 2010

Located on the corner of a busy and pedestrian friendly uptown street, Peek is a coffee and martini bar that offers a unique interaction between indoors and outdoors. By creating a thick wall with carved out apertures, the wall itself becomes a threshold between interior and exterior while simulatneously becoming its own zone. While funneling light in during the day, and providing a unique pixelated light backdrop to the urban fabric at night, the apertures become an important feature to the function and playfulness of the neighborhood. As a functioning area, it also houses a series of programmatic elements, including seating, overhead coverings, apertures, and bar display.

PERSONAL ART EXPLORATIONS THROUGH MEDIA

2005-present

In addition to architecture, my passion for creativity extends into the world of art making. Ever since I was little, my ‘scribbles’ always had special meaning, but became more serious and endearing in high school and college. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate enough to fuse my interests into my education in order to receive formal training and feedback. Seeking to explore the potentials within each media, I try to experiment with various techniques to represent different ideas.
