01 House of Dance Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI 2019 September Instructor: Christopher Bardt Entering the house, oblique planes and lines suggest perspectives. The ground moves me. a pure circle magically appears as I step into a threshold. The water complements the circle, lines collide across the ground, wall, and ceiling. the dancer moves. A dance partner, a wall, pivots to match the dancers motion. Untouched planes imply motion, the house accepts forces. The stair has a trajectory. I follow it. The line builds a relationship. The dancer is in motion. As the stairs stop, the motion ends. The dancer sleeps. The dancer is inactive, receiving the forces. The water cleanses her physical body The dancer gets inspired.

03 Breathing Tower Providence, RI, 2018 Fall Semester As the shuttle breathes, the elastic strong shifts the axis and changes the length. This logic is translated into architectural elements: ceiling, stairs and walls to create an atmosphere that resembles breathing.

The proposal introduces a new Art Culture Center in Provdience along Dyer st. Programs of the space include exhibition, workshop, and private studio and classrooms.

Cork granule is used for filtering grey water collected from the house

Rather than regular soil, cork power is mixed with soil for plants that filter water.

Concrete and cork mixture is used as main structure of the wall. Cork acoustic panels are used for insulation layer.

The filtered water through garden wall will be used for irrigating crops.

Experimental Bricks Architectural Internship with Briggs+Knowles Architecture and Design, Providence, RI, 2019 July to August I worked with Laura Briggs, a professor in RISD Architecture to design an experimental bricks that have reflective parabolic surface. The vertical facadae system collects and concentrates light into the zone where plants will be installed.

07 Connecting Dots: Mapping Community Gardens in Providence Providence City Government, The Parks Department, Providence, RI 2019 September As a Maharam STEAM Fellow working with the Parks Department, my core mission was to create a collective map that gathers and narrates individual identity of community gardens in Providence. A single dot is insignificant but if there are multiple, it has a stronger capacity to bring attention. Food justice is an ultimate element that completes the cycle of urban agriculture. The collective entity forms a larger movement of urban agriculture in Providence. Link: http://www.providenceri.gov/providence-parks/park

08 {re}position Exhibition Curation in RISD Museum Gelman Gallery, Providence RI, 2020 Jan to March Collaborative work among three curators and 32 artists from RISD and Brown, the exhibition is a response of frustration from the lack of canon in art institution which does not reflect the diversity of student demographics. The gallery provides space for alternative canons through the narratives of home, colonization, gender/racial identity, and local craft and practices. My main role as a curator was to work with the artists and initiate an intellectual conversation on our current academic status and how we can create changes and make our pedagogy more inclusive.

09 Weaving Color Casa Gilardi by Luis Barragan, Mexico City, Porto Academy Visiting, Barragan, 2019 June The screen weaves the color of the house.The screen flattens the space into a fabric as the panels reflect and the gap permeates the color. As it stands in the threshold, the screen ambiguates the views for visitors when they first enter the house. Collaborator: Josh Ren B.Arch 21
