1 The Garden of Curated Materials Florence, Italy This project serves as an exact depiction of its name. Finding its inspiration rooted in the renaissance gardens, it is brought to life in a contemporary manner through the merging of multiple scans via the process of segmenting, merging, rotating, and alignment. These curated elements become unrecognizable from their origins and are then redesigned to take on a new life on this site. These scanned elements form the anchor for which the design formulates its architecture around. The project retains 2 dominant elements, water and the vegetation that wraps itself around it, in its attempt to define edges and spaces. The resultant design proposal, through scanning real-world objects alongside physical models, is a water garden to be used as an open recreational space.

2 Decentralized Clarksdale, MI In an attempt to begin a conversation about the socio-economic issues in Clarksdale, MI, the project proposes a method in which the major income becomes reclaimed by the residents of Clarksdale rather than the large-scale, franchise restaurants that currently dominate the community’s economy. It further engages the issue of the lack of recreational spaces for youths within Clarksdale. Using a contextual field study analysis that links the current food-selling stores and the schools via the fastest route by car, the project creates a set of rules for which the design program is formulated around. The use of prefabricated enclosures from the shipping containers that bring food in and out of the city becomes a starting point for food ‘hot spots’ and rentable spaces for community members. Underground, we begin to see multi-use, recreational spaces for the youth to interact.

3 Modular Crystallization Syracuse, NY The project proposes a mixed-use space that transitions from a salt shed during the day to a party hall at night-time. The design uses a modular system that is inspired by the aesthetics of crystalized salt as one would view it from under a microscope. The same modular system that intends to be prefabricated concrete blocks on the exterior imposes itself on the interior in a new form to begin the demarcation of functional spaces within the shed. The result of this modular system of blocks on the exterior formulates a ‘porous’ building, with salt seeping out of its sides. An allowance is made for this porosity by the lowered steps the building sits within doubling as both a seating arena and a niche where salt and water could begin to gather in the colder months of the year.

4 Nested Frames Syracuse, NY This project extracts the rigid grid structure for which space is defined from the simple concept of nested framing elements in Sou Fujimoto’s N House. It aims to blur the lines between what is considered public and private space by alternating between these framed elements and what would be considered a conventional wall. To further accelerate the use of these spatial defining elements, we see not only the plan following a specified grid but also the translucent objects. The grid which is used to create the frames is reflected on the glass within the building in an attempt to specify the different types of programs. The way in which this grid is used throughout the project, therefore, becomes a programmatic element as well an aesthetic component.

5 Divisive Unity Fulton, NY This cultural center aims to reconnect the site in Fulton, NY to the local river and become a catalyst for educational, research, and job opportunities. Alongside this, it aims to facilitate spaces that allow the local community to advance their soft professional skills through new access to technology. The design of the building is disrupted by an escalator that cuts through the building and extends out into the city. This serves as a literal representation of the divide between the site, environment and natural surroundings. The escalator also serves as a programmatic element that leads you to a cafe on the rooftop. This cafe is framed and identifiable through the differentiation of materiality, specifically due to its relationship to the river and the views it begins to create. With this, we see the escalator no longer as a divisive element but one that unifies with the surrounding context.

6 Reclaimed Facades Syracuse, NY Site Research focused on this neighborhood shows a variety of families with kids below the age of eighteen. In order to bring some form of aid to members of the community who work with the lack of places to safely watch over their children, these prefabricated, habitable facades have been built onto the current houses of the block. There is a variety of modules on offer that are dependent on the consent of the owners of the houses. All of these modules, centered around a multitude of recreational spaces allow for neighbors to begin to interact with each other, bringing the community closer together. Furthermore, considering the lack of local grocery stores, the reclaimed facade could therefore serve as storefronts or studio spaces for community-focused business ventures.

7 In The Street Brooklyn, NY (Pin Sangkeo, Benson Joseph, HayattuDeen Ikharo, Kristabel Chung, Demitri Gadzios) Flatbush has always been a melting pot of culture, and this community has proven itself to be a site of greatness, specifically for the African Diaspora, but a new type of street is needed if the existing community is going to survive while the economic diversity increases. One that promotes neighborly interactions between the youth and the elderly, the locals and the incomers through the floor plans, financial independence through the variety of commercial opportunities. This building shall encourage a new form of interaction between long held barriers through the conversation and comparisons in creates between programs and people. This design shall continue as an impetus for discussion and interaction in Brooklyn while prioritizing the interests of those who live there.
