PERSONAL STATEMENT The architect is merely the curator. He sanctifies and celebrates a phenomenon which predates his involvement. He has complete authorship for it is his intervention that recognizes and makes possible the appreciation of the subject, yet the subject is itself authentic with or without an architect. It is this older authenticity, which originates from the events and social circumstances of the past, that gives weight to the subject.

Located in Central Park, New York, a still pond rests under the Gapstow Bridge. Adjacent to the Inscope Arch, a sloped site is formed as transients visit to take in the surrounding views. When at the pond, one can not help but see a vivid connection between said Bridge and Arch. Among other amenities received from Central Park, a conceptual museum is proposed.

THE TASK OF THE ARCHITECT IS TO ENCOMPASS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SITE, STARTING FROM THE CONCRETE CONDITIONS AND THE SENSORY IMPRESSIONS CREATED BY THOSE, TO MEMORIES OF THE PLACE, THROUGH EMPATHY TO VISION. - JEAN NOUVEL
Selection of site was mapped from sensory data taken over a month. The site reflects a moment in time where the park feels more like a park and less like Manhattan, based on smell, sound, and touch. The museum takes on a shell structure and is supported via the form itself. Two divergent shells express contrasting relationships such as interior vs exterior and static vs dynamic. A clashing of the two forms appears at the Arch that emanate multiple spaces of interior, exterior, static and dynamic activity. Undulating strips mimic the existing pathways of the site and cut through a form to provide access to the roof balcony area. The strips then change course sectionally to structurally support long spans.

“The task of the architectural project is to reveal, throught transformation of form, the essence of the surrounding context.” -Vittorio Gregotti
On a busy, industrial intersection lies a contextual art gallery. The
project
recognizes
the
“L”
characteristics
of
the
intersection and establishes a parti based that shape. Using the orthogonal nature of the parti, a clear separation between served and servant spaces occurs. The reaction of this leaves a void in the center to assume an outdoor garden. A series of cantilevered roofs provide shelter, whilst allowing natural light and re-reflected light to flood into the galleries at a healthy rate. The site, itself, poses issues with tall buildings from the southern side, shading optimal light sources. Therefore, clerestory windows and skylights are introduced into the project to bring in even amounts of light that will not harm art, or viewers’ eyes. Different environmental strategies such as direct-gain systems, rain collection for irrigation use, and solar panels were established. The structure is supported by load bearing walls, clad with masonry, to blend in with the existing surroundings of Bushwick.

THE SINGLE FLOOR PLAN MOVES IN SECTION THROUGH SUCCESSIVE HEIGHTS TO ACHIEVE DOUBLE-HEIGHT SPACES. A “BREAK” IN THE MASONRY INFORMS AN ENTRANCE ON THE QUIETER SIDE OF MORGAN AVENUE, FURTHEST FROM THE INTERSECTION. PASSING THROUGH TRIGGERS A FEELING OF ENTERING INTO A ‘SECRET’, SOMETHING NOT REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC.

CANTILEVERED ROOFS ALLOW LIGHT TO FLOOD INTO THE GALLERIES, AS WELL AS THE OUTDOOR GARDEN IN THE CENTER. THOUGH THE GALLERY TAKES ON A HEAVY PRESENCE ON THE SITE, ITS BARE FACADE LEAVES ONE TO WONDER WHAT IS INSIDE. A VOID IS UNEXPECTED, YET ARISES TO COMPLIMENT INDIVIDUAL VOLUMES, RATHER THAN ONE SINGULAR BUILDING.

29 | project statement
PROJECT STATEMENT Educational centers are at the forefront of our nation’s future. The continuance of this generation’s goals and ambitions must be met with the maintenance of the next generation’s. Therefore, a school should not just be a place of learning, rather one of future growth.
This project addresses the term “experimental school”. It puts forward a template that provides an environmentally conscious and code compliant school to the general public.
PLT[FORM] is a school that addresses overcrowded hallways informing improper circulation, proving the neglected nature of placement for the student, as well as natural light and ventilation. All of which to reduce absenteeism.
concept | 30
CONCEPT Located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, situated on a block with affordable housing surrounding it, a five grade school is proposed. The block is courtyard-like, with public access to parks and playgrounds. With the main entrance coming from Wilson Avenue, the school caters to all four entrances, from each surrounding street. They all have access to mass transportation and public bicycle use.

AS AN ARCHITECT YOU DESIGN FOR THE PRESENT WITH AN AWARENESS OF THE PAST FOR A FUTURE WHICH IS ESSENTIALY UNKNOWN. - NORMAN FOSTER
The school takes on three different forms that connect via covered platforms. Two of which, catering to classrooms and infrastructure. The other acts as a ‘transport hub’. This building, clad with glass and concrete, serves primarily for vertical circulation. Once one on each level of the four floor walk-up school, the platforms take on the idea of ‘flexible space’. The students and teachers oversee its designated use, which allows circulation to be included in the learning experience as well, whether acting as a hallway, learning space or recreation area. As one walks along the platforms, it seems to change in its function. A wrapping motion occurs around the forms to provide outdoor learning spaces. Once inside, each classroom is met with big glass doors that allow southern, natural light to flood in. The structure is supported by steel beams and columns in walls. Environmentally, this school introduces a visible, underground water cistern to collect graywater, as well as solar panels on the roofs.

LE CORBUSIER PAINTING ANALYSIS
Working on the design team for the first floor of a proposed residential house in New Jersey, I created multiple schemes to meet the clients’ needs to preserve parts of the existing house. Through weekly meetings and long research of zoning issues, the house is now under construction, under budget and code compliant. Architect on the project: Battersby Architecture and Design.
For visualization purposes, a conversion from 2-D to 3-D is introduced. Analyzing one of Le Corbusier’s paintings, an established armature can be seen based on foreground, midground and background. That is then built as a physical model for one to realize that any painting is truly 3-Dimensional, all based on our perception.

PALLADIO VILLA EMO ANALYSIS
STEEL ANALYSIS
When beginning the process of spatial planning, the idea of a 9-square grid was one to be analyzed. Many architects such as Palladio and John Hejduk used this organization system. Therefore, in order to better understand why, Villa Emo’s main chambers, as an example, was analyzed and modeled to fully understand the project’s beauty in it’s simplicity. John Hejduk’s House III was compared as well.
Using a modified version of WR[HAUS] that contained a second floor, an iteration of steel was proposed. Parts that were covered were creating a structural grid, steel framing plan, sizing beams according to LRFD Tables using Moment and Shear Calculations, Live and Dead Load Calculations, Wall Detailing, Footing Detailing, Curtain Wall Detailing, as well as three proposed steel connections.
