The Analysis of a City and its Contexts Syracuse // NY
Based on the analysis of several specific areas in the Syracuse downtown area, we explore the buildings and their relationship to their contexts. There are similarities in both material and functional zoning of buildings situated in the same district. On the other hand, there are also differences in neighbourhoods including building styles and the entrance space’s way of interacting with the surrounding streets and buildings.

We looked at the Everson Museum and Park Central Church in regards to the direct access from street to building and their sequencing. Additionally, when analyzing the relationship between the buildings, public spaces and streets around them we investigated the materiality of buildings and compared it to their contexts. 3

The Analysis of Urban Buildings and their Facades Praça das Artes
Brasil Arquitetura São Paulo // Brasil 2012 This analysis will address how the external pressures of urban form, uncovered in Exercise 1, and the internal pressures of program organization within the building, are reconciled, expressed or suppressed on the building’s exterior enclosure. In this context, particular attention will be paid to the composition of the building’s façades.
Partner: Yuanting Peng
Through the design of the Praça das Artes, the architects explore how a complex of buildings can influence and reshape its context. The location of the Praça is an abandoned, almost derelict one and this project hopes to restorethe neighbourhood. In our redesign, we transformed the facade of the different periods and styles. We did so by alienating and abstracting the windows and their frames in order to create a reshaped facade that contains both the history and the new changes brought to this building. 5

Designing an Urban Building Window, Room, Object
In this exercise we had to create a closed space with a window and an object inside. The aim of this was to push us into thinking about the relationship between the inside and the outside as seen through a window. It helped introduce the idea of windows as more than just viewing devices.
My rooms explored abstractions of windows and their frames and their respective reliefs. I started going against traditional ideas and forms and inversing the reliefs and framing orders. There is also an exploration of windows that wrap around multiple sides and the views they provide. 11

Designing an Urban Building Abstracting Facades
Hanover Square, Syracuse // NY
In this exercise we were asked to design a new building on a specific site in Downtown Syracuse, proceeding first ‘from the outside in’ and then ‘from the inside out’. The new building will house the ‘Archive of the City of Syracuse’, a fictitious institution dedicated to documenting the continuing narratives of this city’s urban and architectural histories
