fort brown r e s p i t e c e n tSpringe 2019 r Northeastern university In response to the current administration's inhumane treatment of immigrants at the Southern Border, my proposal for the Fort Brown Humanitarian Respite Center seeks to provide the resources and tools necessary for immigrants and refugees to quickly and safely build a better life in America. Located at the former Fort Brown Memorial Golf Course, this Respite Center sits north of the Rio Grande and south of the border wall—a "no man's land" that has lost its identity. By providing short term housing, family and legal counseling, English classes, day care, and other necessary services, as well as a new public park, the Fort Brown Respite Center physically connects the twin cities of Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico, restoring a centuries-old bond between communities. Michael Dear, author of Why Walls Won't Work, argues, “Walls won’t work because the border has long been a place of connectivity and collaboration. The border zone is a permeable membrane connecting two countries, where communities on both sides have strong senses of mutual dependence and attachment to territory.”

332 su m m er st c o l l a b o r at Spring i v2018e Northeastern university Located in Boston's historic Fort Point district, the 332 Summer Street Collaborative seeks to narrow the gap between the city's minority artists and galleries dedicated to showing their work. While Boston undoubtedtly has a lively creative arts scene, it has become increasingly difficult for minority artists to break through into exclusive studios and galleries that favor well established artists. Phillip Zminda, contributor to the Boston Art Review, argues, "When a lack of arts funding is compounded with soaring rent prices due to gentrification, emerging artists lose access to space, full stop. Space to live, spaces to create, and spaces to show their art—with more and more galleries shuttering their doors—dissipate. Devoid of access to space, artists will be forced out of Boston. And without any artists, Boston’s eclectic and brilliant art scene as we know it will cease to exist.” In response, this flexible artist collaborative seeks to guarantee a parity of access to women, artists of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and more—to guarantee that their voices are heard.

m aver i ck m i lls r e d e v e l o p m efalln2016 t Northeastern university Responding to a requirement of 1,000,000 - 3,000,000 square feet of residential, commercial, and public space, this proposal is centered on a radical infrastructural move that connects Chelsea Creek to Constitution Beach through an ecological zipper, thus restoring the landmass to its original form and function. This zipper, composed of a single stream of water and a variety of active and passive landscapes, aides in water purification, flood mitigation, and rain retention while simultaneously providing residents of East Boston with a series of community assets that encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. These assets, including farmers markets, community gardens, a research center, a library, fitness center, and more, are spread along a central boardwalk that engages the surrounding architecture and crosses Route 1A to provide residents with access to the waterfront.

V I C T O R I A S TA D T B A U G R U P SPRING P 2016E HUMBOLDT UNIVERSITY Across the globe, rent prices are rising and finding affordable housing is becoming increasingly more difficult. Recently, Berlin has found a solution that significantly cuts costs while giving residents the freedom to make their own specific design choices. A baugruppe (building group) is a group of individuals who have joined their financial resources and efforts to build an apartment building according to their desires and at a reasonable price. Located in Berlin’s Victoriastadt, this proposal includes individual units as well as a variety of communal spaces for families of one to eight members that are connected by an external circulation terrace. Twelve sectionally complex units, each with their own private outdoor space, fit together like puzzle pieces, offering an incredibly flexible design process that allows the clients and architect to turn, flip, and move each unit into its desired location in any of the three structural bays.

SPRING 2017
Charles Waters, an architect and furniture maker, and his husband Dean, a photographer and screen writer, both share an interest in the arts and photography and over the past twenty-seven years together, have spent their time traveling around the globe, amassing a large collection of international artwork, furniture, souvenirs, photographs, and other miscellaneous knickknacks. Now that their two children have graduated college and are no longer living at home, Dean and Charles have decided to design and build their new and final residence in East Boston where they can live, entertain, work, and showcase their impressive international collection. The design that follows draws inspiration from the Eames House and features separate working and living spaces. In responding to the adjacent front facades and contextual scale in both plan and section, this home features two shifted, distinct zones that are held together by a fluid display space that wraps around the building service cores to create a triple height, circulatory gallery space. This organization keeps their work lives separate from their personal lives, while simultaneously allowing visitors to admire the memories that Charles and Dean have shared.
