Patterns of Land Planning: Agricultural Dwellings Upstate New York Fall 2009

How do you re-imagine the monotony of Suburbia?

This project explored the functionality of pattern making. Through patterns, what kind of relationships can be forged? Where is there a balance of agriculture and residential dwellings?

I began by creating patterns, experimenting with different forms of tessellations, using colors to distinguish different housing types (single family, duplexes, etc.). After placing the pattern within the site’s context, I explored how the program of agriculture and farming would be integrated.

Interface: Physical Environments in the Virtual Realm Senior Thesis 2013

Miami, FL

In a growing digital world, what role will architecture play?

During my final year at Syracuse University, I participated in a Thesis Research Studio that focused in setting our own thesis in a hypothetical-hyperbolic future. In today’s world you spent 30% of your day in front of computer screen or mobile device.

In the very near future you will spend 75% of your day in front of a computer screen and/or mobile device. In the setting of this future, how will the architectural environment change?

Within the parameters of the studio my year ended by testing this theory within a history museum. Architecture’s stance against technology, in a curatorial sense, in an aesthetic sense, outside of the media screen.

The two diagrams showed above is an initial study of how technology (i.e. the mobile device) gets used daily by a college student.

The mapping at the top is a breakdown of the different activities in correlation to the mobile device. For example, while the student is in class, she is constantly vigilant of her phone. While participating in a discussion she will constantly check her email and other social media sites, yet she is still engaged and is taking notes.

The mapping at the bottom is illustrating the user’s attention span and how it deviates depending on the original activity.

The darker purple line is the main activity (whether it’s reading or taking notes) and the lighter shades of purple are all of the other activities that is done (like, listening to music, texting, checking Facebook. The overlay of teal is highlighting the

level of change from the original activity.

This series of mapping is evidence that the way the user lives is fast paced and multi-faceted. The user is constantly in motion physically and mentally. The task of focusing on a singular thing is absent, the user is in a state of constant multitasking and brain simulation.

The college student isn’t the only model where technology is ubiquitous in daily life; similar analysis can be made with any current adult and children that so much as has a cellphone and/or a Facebook account.

Agrarian Culture - Mixed Use Residence Visiting Critic: Julie Snow Architects Detroit, MI Fall 2011

Revitalizing a community from farm to table. Taking place in Detroit, the task was to take Urban Detroit and provide a series of program that could bring a sense of community, that would help a shrinking city like Detroit generate income. Programs included hotel, apartments, cafe, greenhouse, and restaurant.
