Drawing, Graphite 18� x 44�

An imagined space combining elements of significant structures in Rome, Italy and components of a story.

Perspectival Model of Imagined Space Built to be viewed from a single vantage point.

BOFFO - Submission Exhibition Design

While employed by Freecell Design, 2012.

SITE: Soho, NY The design for the display armature considers the aesthetics and faceted geometry of Irene Neuwirth’s jewelry collection.

The installation armature is envisioned as a welded steel tube frame, to be hung.

Attached to the inside of the frame are light fixtures which run the length of the installation. Stretched over the frame is translucent fabric, creating an illuminated skin. The vitrines are to be constructed of painted wood surfaces to serve as a backdrop for Irene’s jewelry.

Electrolux Concept Kitchen Competition Entry

SUKKAH CITY Scened Sukkah Competition

SUKKAH CITY - Scened Sukkah SITE Union Square Park, New York PROGRAM The sukkah is comprised of a light bamboo frame, and a skin of tensioned fabric. The sukkah may be placed in any orientation within the city. It proposes a way of entry on three sides. The largest wall behaves as a surface to showcase backlit activity, giving significance to moments of ritual and gathering as they unfold. While the urban façade provides a consolidated view into the lives of characters within, the sukkah is the rear window, and may be oriented and reoriented into a series of vignettes throughout the city. Gatherings convene at a table where occupants sit over meals and social activity. They are provided with five small seats of the same bamboo construction, which may be tucked away beneath the table after the shades are drawn and activity fades into the night. Upon entering the sukkah through a narrow opening, there is a moment of reflection before being fully enclosed by the structure. Within a tall and narrow space, the occupant has no option but to gaze above through a lattice geometry of reeds, and beyond to the sky.
