The ‘Piranesium’ is proposed to carry out the celebration of Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s life and work. The viewer celebrates his life through a ritual to his tomb. In addition the facility constructs a library and gallery of Piranesi’s works. The project exploits printmaking processes as an attempt to understand the artist’s process. Using the plan as the driver of the project, a score of the needle marks the first incision into the site. 6

In an effort to connect the urban street level to the river in an increasingly river friendly Seneca Falls, NY, the project uses the method of ramping to create a didactic connection. The ramping corridor takes the form of a river lock, bringing the people from street level and filtering them down to a new elevation. Building masses are split by the corridor breaking the building into distinct pieces that negotiate the elevational shift. 18

Proposed in East New York, Brooklyn, the site is a corner lot with an above ground train running along the main street edge, Livonia Ave. As part of Help USA we aim to provide 50 units of affordable housing for extremely low income individuals. The community library is aimed towards job development and adult literacy. The library spirals up the building taking over a quadrant of each floor. The cafeteria and daycare are our for profit commerical programs. 28

The new ‘Writing Center’ takes on very strict site and program conditions. Matching the facade of its closest neighbor, the facade is all but one singular color. The interior produces an interior quad and social space not all too different from the adjacent outdoor campus quad. 38

Proposed in Bronx, NY, the artist residency will provide a place where aspiring artists will be able to live, work and display their artwork for one year. Rethinking the role of the elevator and the balcony -- both ‘elements’ that have strong historic ties to New York City, the artist will now live in an elevator room that is attached to the main building. The residency will be able to move freely between different levels that contain different rooms for certain types of art making and art exhibiting. 50

Rethinking stuff is a manifesto for the study of material culture and a new way of looking at the complex nature of ‘stuff’ in our built environment. The relationship of stuff, owner and their environment is fundamentally ‘zeitgeistic’ – reflecting dominant set of relationships, ideals and attitudes during a particular time period. Today stuff is increasingly challenging notions of property, ritual, temporality, accessibility and materiality. This thesis contends it is time to acknowledge and confront the lack of attention to how we store our stuff - most importantly what are the architectural effects of rethinking stuff in storage today. 58

The project aims to think of how the iconic snowman -with all of its attributes- snowballs, accessories (twigs, buttons & carrots), and the ground it sits on can be re-architecturalized. 64

An inflatable ETFE facade acts as a jacket that wraps the building. When the jacket is inflated (photography exhibition, reception, film ends) the stripes no longer align and allow light to filter through. The facade routinely changes the langauge and program of the space it surrounds. 66

Proposed in Los Angeles, the children’s museum uses qualities, effects and aura that are found in children’s toys and games. Qualities of the Furby (nesting, inside & outside) , Mouse Trap (novel circulation) and Lite-Brite (plan-section didactic and aura) are architecturalized in the project. 68

Sports Collaborative’s winning competition entry ‘Rounds’ honors Architect Howard Van Doren Shaw’s 1912 Ring by further architecturalizing the ring, reinvisioning it as a whimsical and inhabitable performance surface. The new ring considers the way in which one engages the space of performance and intends to allow the ring itself to become integral to that experience, while also producing an atmosphere of discovery and fun for visitors.
