Infrastructure Library The Library project was designed with the intent of becoming a learning center for Manhattan Chinatown’s infrastructure. The architecture was a manifestation of the ideas of a public learning center and the current infrastructure acting as an extension into the library.
Undergraduate Dormitory
The main focus of the project was to connect all the communal spaces within the dormitory. A continual helix movement down the dormitory took advantage of the unit organization and allows occupants from all floors to interact on a daily basis. The focus of the organization was to establish a continuous communal experience throughout the whole dormitory that flowed between the wings and through the buffer zone, thus enabling the occupants to freely move throughout the dormitory.

Construction Documents The Construction Documents phase of the project was the completion of schematic design of the dormitory and its manifestation into a series of construction documents.
Columbia Boathouse
Site Analysis Series
Environmental Studies The design process underwent a series of analytical studies of the site in order to inform the proceeding steps in the design. The information produced from this stage was the initial step in formally developing the first trials of the boathouse.
