Between Natures Empty Architecture // New Hybrids Between Natures subverts the romantic ideas of what is ‘garden,’ and re-enchants us with the idea of nature or wild, presented through a lens of ambiguity. As this studio focuses on the post-COVID Financial District of New York, the American Stock Exchange is reimagined as a contemporary garden in the modern world; a space that merges culture with nature. As a new reflection of capitalism, the project emphasizes medicinal research and pharmaceutical production. These two concepts of attraction and pharmacy are hybridized as the needs of people have been altered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention primarily takes place in “The Pit,” a large space previously used as a trading floor, once a representation of economy and consumer culture, now holds the hermetic containers which act as both spectacle and contemporary monastic garden. The aquarium and terrarium share geometries of the existing structure and hybridize with the medicinal archives and dispensary through the formal use of pneumatic tubes, which are vital to the transportation of packaged prescriptions as well as material samples taken from the gardens.

SENSORIUM Fictive Machines: Characters in Interaction The Sensorium releases one’s self from the expectations of perception; to widen the senses beyond what we experience in the everyday. Visitors wander in between and throughout worlds within worlds to experience a multitude of sensorial abstractions. The building aims to explore, question, and alter the nature of perception as one’s senses are enhanced, blended, or manipulated through a variety of architectural strategies. Each character contained within the larger “big box” structure of the Sensorium both performs and contains qualities of its interior function via its posture and interaction with human occupants. Orientations and relationships between characters are evocative of their highly specific interior worlds. The homunculus explores temporal qualities of growth, decay, absorption, discoloration and movement as ink and fungi transform the object throughout its life. As figural and biological representations of the Sensorium, the homunculi demonstrate qualities displayed by and contained within the characters throughout the building and provide a glimpse into the sensory qualities of the project.

HEARTH LoLux Hub as Adaptive Reuse The Hearth housing tower integrates both permanent and temporary housing with cremation services, as well as a public columbarium to display ashes of the deceased. The added public program provides a place of rest for the dead, and a solution for the sacredness of space in an increasingly densifying city such as New York. The building’s program is reflective of our need to embrace death and find opportunities in our daily lives to remember those we have lost. In the search for an architectural representation of this duality, the project integrates both large and small spaces for remembrance as well as small chapels adjacent to private rooms for individual mourners. Serving two user groups: private residents and visiting mourners, the housing tower and block contain units for both permanent and temporary residents. In achieving a continuity between housing and cremation, solid poche material casts ribbon throughout both areas to represent a respect for ancestral passing as well as a tangible material representation of our celebration of both life and death.

Visual Study
VISUAL STUDY Mapping Projections Utilizing multiple fields and topographies of aggregate components, three figureground maps are projected and intersected in each coordinate plane to form a 3-Dimensional object. The object is itself aggregated to form a novel hybrid object which contains the original geometries in its genealogy.

KNOT A DETAIL Re-Authoring Differentiated Redundancies Expanding on the brief of market, a secondary hermetic program is an opportunity to reach outside the bounds of the Manayunk context, a market of contained worlds to exploit the fetishized and reanimate the obsolete. Thinking beyond the physical and social context of the site introduces a discussion of the future of Manayunk and the market’s purpose as a catalyst for urban growth and human interaction. In the exploration of geometry and form, an opportunity for drastic changes in scale informs choices made about program and dialogue between the vibrant and hermetic. In the absence of context, the forms and aesthetic choices regarding familiarities in geometry and characteristics have carried with them former steps and reflect choice in the selection of iterative studies. Both differentiated and redundant, the formal elements and their relationship to the other express attitudes relative to independent characteristics through a control of color, shadow, texture and material. These elements form dioramas of contained worlds, hidden from the exterior, revealed only by glimpses through cracks or the intersection of mass and ground. A shy exposition of want, the market brings to light an interior and intrinsic flourish of pride of human nature, providing an experience of freedom and release of societal bounds found outside its walls.

EPHEMERA Figured Voids & the Presence of Absence Defined by the archetypal massing of tower and pavilion, the archive project moves beyond the seclusion of the PennMuseum into the modern context by considering the sequences of spaces and experiential geometries of voided Euclidean figures in archival mass. The project negotiates conditions of figure ground through the insertion of specific figural moments which break the density of archive, to be used as lightwells, structural elements in the construction of tower, and threshold of the barrier between interior and exterior. The consequences of this project’s specific Euclidean geometries in their formation of programmable voids result in a visible relationship with the ancient and the occupant, shedding light on the decay of artifacts. The combination of conic and planar geometries form controlled surfaces which orient vertically through the tower to bring light down throughout its center, into the underground portion of museum archive.

VISUAL STUDY Planametric Collage Two existing projects are hybridized to form a new plan, which is a synthesis of selected parts of the original plans. A fictional domestic narrative is invented to establish planametic control while stitching the two projects together. Working through seams of interaction and geometric conflicts, the new drawing is a planametric collage utilizing programmatic and scalar specificity.

GLASSWING A Re-Invention of Plume & Bone The Glasswing garment emerges from 3D printed, laser cut and casted silicone components to create an ethereal garment, combining aesthetics of both the diaphanous and dangerous. The faux leather and silicone hybrid dress is a distant memory of 19th Century willowing techniques and the Late Edwardian corset, coming together to form a new, contemporary expression of traditional methods. Willowing involves the fashioning of feathers involved the crafting of feathers by plumassiers in plume sweatshops; consisted of lengthening the short strands, called flues, of inferior feathers by tying on one, two or three flues until the feather has the desired depth and grace. Boning adds strength and structure to a corset, hoop skirt or garment through cinching and lacing. The shaping properties of corsetry puts strain on the fabric keeping the garment taught in a desired shape and to prevent wrinkling. These traditional techniques are used with contemporary digital techniques to further accentuate form, build structure, and evoke figure.
