Long Beach, NY is located on Long Island and is one of the cities severely affected by rising sea level. Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage requiring a new urban protection plan. Additionally the city is within reach of NYC and is a popular tourist destination during the summer months. The Oceanside proposal protects the city from flooding and expands the recreational space benefiting the city financially.

Residence in Albany, NY
The landscape proposal for the residence in Albany, NY hinged on providing a new method
of
circulation.
Currently
two
driveways approach the house and yet only one is in use. The plan connects the two driveways by turning one of the houses wings into a drive-through garage. The idea is not only to improve movement but also reference the farm house typology ubiquitous in upstate New York.

we
looked at the traditional and ubiquitous model, as for instance in New York City, and discovered its limitations: prescribed boundaries, the limited number of locking stations and the upfront cost. Our proposal eliminates the need for locking stations and instead uses a bike-integrated lock similar to any standard bike lock which increases the flexibility of riders. In collaboration with Adrian Emmanuel, Lu Han and Rachel Lee.

Orca Viewing Shaft Save the whales cage the humans In 2013, the New York Times published an article that revealed the tragedy of killer whales in captivity. The animals are trapped in too small spaces and become visibly depressed and aggressive. At the same time seeing the whales has inspired generations of children to become guardians of their environment. The dilemma of Sea World is palpable. But what else could be done? My proposal is to reverse the relationship of captivity in Sea World. A shaft in the ocean allows people to view the whales and other marine life while providing the animals the necessary freedom.

Mentorship with Karim Exploring ideas through design. During the Fall semester of 2013 I worked with Karim Bridges, a local Middle Schooler, as part of the Spark mentorship program. Karim showed an interest in design and construction at his school and through this program he was able to gain experience in the field. Over the course of eight sessions we explored architectural precedents on campus, practiced sketching techniques, learned designed
drafting and
methods,

How Many Legs? Positive and Negative Image When we see an image we approach it with some expectations of what it should be. An Elephant as we know it has 4 legs but as artists and architects we can play with these expecations and create unforseen moments as you see in the picture. In this instance the artist has used positive and negative space to confuse the viewer.

Rube Goldberg was an inventor and cartoonist of the early 20th century. As a child of the industrial revolution he was fascinated with machines and their mechanisms. In his work as a cartoonist he designed many devices. However, rather than productive and efficient tools his machines accomplished whimsical tasks in a complicated way. While the machines were often humorous they also reflected Goldberg’s view on the overly complicated mechanisms of contemporary society.
