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. 16

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. 20

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. 28

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. 38

As our methods of storing grow, our storage environments tend to not adapt. Representations of storage environments- one being that of the large self-storage facility depicts objects covered in dust and packed away in boxes indefinitely. But our stuff in storage is much more. It is time to acknowledge and confront the lack of attention to how we store our belongings. Rethinking Stuff addresses the complex nature of ‘stuff’ in our constructed environments by leveraging the latent potential of it in storage today. This thesis attempts to address the effects of stuff in storage by capitalizing on the notion that stuff is increasingly challenging notions of property, ritual, temporality, accessibility and materiality. As Peter Smithson mentions in his article In Praise of Cupboard Doors, “rarely in architecture is the right level of attention – the sense of fit – to do with the individual and his/her specific possessions.” No longer a secondary element of a larger architectural conversation, the stuff we store will be exploited, celebrated and embraced.

The thesis began with studying 5 current storage environments/ containers / objects - the honey pot ant, the college fridge, the suburban home, the storage facility and the seed bank. 48
rethinking stuff
Through the re-imagination of familiar storage environments, (the shed, the lost and found bin and the junk drawer) Rethinking Stuff becomes a narration of possible spatial storage futures. design thesis

the shed Looking at the demographic of traditional storage users- the suburban owner commonly show up. Often these users have an excess of stuff and not enough room to store it. Storage environment 01‘the shed’, proposes an alternative storage environment where stuff is shared among neighbors. Exploiting characteristics of the backyard shed, shared items range in use. Sheds of junkyards, woodshops, guesthouses, outdoor items, and pool supplies accumulate where multiple properties lines touch. The creation of these spaces intends to activate the items in storage. 50

the lost and found bin In almost every public building there are multiple storage environments. Perhaps the most interesting (and smallest) is the lost & found. The lost and found bin’ narrative 02 unpacks the bin and spans horizontally along Broadway Ave in Manhattan. Taking cues from Archizoom’ No Stop City a conveyor belt tirelessly intersects with the everyday life of the city. If typical storage spaces and centers live on the skirts of the city, the lost and found becomes engrained into the everyday life of the city. 58

the junk drawer Things pile up in our junk drawer for purposes of preservation. We often keep things for the memory that is attached to them. An island facility recycles and repurposes our stuff. Here we can preserve our stuff forever. Located off of Red Hook in Brooklyn , environments pile up to create a visual stratification of time, material and memory. 66

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. 74

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. 76

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. 78

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.
