PORT MORRIS ARMATURE Reconnecting through event space Location: Port Morris, NY

How can a secured facility such as a tow pound promote community engagement? Located in Port Morris, New York, this project attempts to recreate connection between neighborhood and waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge using site and program as a catalyst. Simultaneously, the site as an armature seeks to connect public with the isolated program of a tow pound facility and this is achieved through an event space within program site.

Opera House for Charlotte Location: Charlotte, NC Collaborator: Swathi Sreedharan

How do we negotiate the exclusive program of the opera house to facilitate community engagement? Given the exclusive nature of an opera house, the proposal seeks to activate its premises and make it an accessible public space. The architecture of the opera house attempts to facilitate this by integrating building and landscape to create spaces for additional programs, thus enriching the urban character of the place by blurring the boundaries between building and landscape and allowing them to converge and coalesce.

MULTIPLIED GROUND Artifact, Commerce, Landscape

Seoul Biennale of Architecture & Urbanism | Publication Collaborators: Brittany Bataille, Douglas Cao, Merrick Castillo, Christopher Pope, Bekim Sedjiu, Jonathan Warner Investigating the behavior of urbanism in the city of Seoul offers an extremely stratified & adaptive urban landscape. This urban fabric is often expressed through physical separation & historical isolation; for example the urban spectacles of Seoul Station & Namdaemun. Through decoding the inherent behavior, implanted artifacts exaggerate stratification while a new landscape creates ripple effects over time. This work attempts to regenerate such disruptions & project an ever-evolving ecosystem not only of Namdaemun Market but throughout the extents of Seoul megalopolis.

NESTED LAYERS

Fall 2015

Funerary Chapel & Columbarium Wall Location: Charlotte, NC Situated within an existing graveyard, the site for the new building was identified on northeastern corner to minimize encroachment on existing graves and pathways. The idea to integrate chapel and columbarium wall as a singular unit resulted in a chapel nested within columbarium wall with an ambulatory space in between. Entry forecourt and roof were oriented and organized to continue the language of graduated enclosures while specific threshold conditions marked transitions between different layers.

PRESENT IN THE ABSENCE Line Transformations

USDAN Gallery, Bennington, VT Undergraduate Senior Show A series of explorations of lines, drawings and narratives to investigate the dynamics between line drawings and their 3-dimensional counterparts. Processes of extractions, overlays and extrusions were employed to translate the complexities and subtleties of line drawings into 3-dimensional spaces. The project hoped to examine various spatial relationships formed within this new space and how these would affect the experience of a user. Parameters were set up to guide the process without defining a result, thus allowing for numerous possibilities.

Weaving through Storrs Pit, Charlotte, NC How do we address the notion of discomfort when most of the built environment aims at achieving an ideal condition of thermal comfort? The installation sought to examine human behavior as they are placed in uncomfortable and unexpected positions during their regular routine. The moire pattern was used to provide surfaces to help obstruct movement and the pattern was generated parametrically.

CONVERGENCE OF SPEED Investigation of Light and Projection Daylighting Lab, Charlotte, NC Collaborator: Carlos Martinez

An interactive installation using projections and lights inside a dark box with mirror covered walls. The projections create dynamic interactions with corners and edges of the space, highlighting the converging forces of Giacomo Ballaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s futurist painting - Science Against Obscurantism. Using Processing to manipulate the painting to reiterate futurist notions of speed and sound, the installation intended for its partcipants to indulge in discovering the phenomenological possibilities between projections, reflections, and refraction of light.

Computing Nature

Storrs Salon, Charlotte, NC This interactive installation considers bringing natural environment into our daily lives and using computation to monitor the plants and maintain system equilibrium. Using Arduino sensors to collect environmental data, needs of the ecosystem are communicated through visual graphics prompting participant action. Alternately, the system can be designed to react on its own by setting threshold conditions to control the resources.

THERMAL FACADES Graduate Research

Supervisor: Dr. Kyounghee Kim The research project focuses on design principles, performance, assembly and sustainability of tall building enclosures, especially in hot climates. The intention is to publish the research as a book that will demonstrate different configurations and details of curtain wall systems and their performance in terms of sustainability. The drawings in the book can be broadly classified into 2-dimensional detail drawings overlaid with thermal analysis and 3-dimensional drawings displaying design and assembly.
