The exhibition hall consists of a long spanning ceiling supported on four massive marble columns. The large open space maintains the existing carved walls and plateau. The folded void sponsors the descent and provides a focal point to the deep and voluminous space.


In such a deeply beautiful landscape, the scheme is less an intervention and more a formal abstraction between the large platform and carved stepped condition. The folded exterior is a reďŹ ned mimicry of the marble quarry, careful to leave the beautiful stone fundamentally unaltered. From here, a choreographed sequence of entry is introduced that takes away the view and slowly gives it back. In this way, the inhabitant can enjoy an uninterrupted perspective of the landscape while also being oered a dramatic retelling of the local experience of space, light, texture, and views.

Chapel of Longing West Village, New York City Cornell Design IX Fall 2015 Prof. Thomas Phifer, Gabriel Smith



From north to south, the campus begins with a small bike rental pavilion that marks the starting point of the path that leads all the way to the center of Rome. Continuing south, there is an existing factory that houses a bicycle museum and workshop. Thirteen professional biker apartments wrap around a velodrome, including a cafeteria, classrooms, fitness center, and stadium seating on top. Each apartment is complete with a personal entrance ramp into the velodrome. The wrap stretches out towards the water and with public amenities including a cafe/restaurant and small shops. 0

Velohome

Via Flaminia, Rome Cornell Design VII Fall 2013 Prof. Davide Marchetti

As an extension of the velodrome language, the Velohome rises gently up towards the center. The space below the apartments is a open gathering area for the community, and perceptually the space oers a connection to the landscape beyond the world of biking.

Baroque Libraries

Austria, Czech Republic, Italy Cornell Eidlitz Travel Fellowship 2016


As an Eidlitz Fellow I traveled to Austria, the Czech Republic and Italy to document the sequences of space into Baroque Monastery Libraries. They reflect a time when the reading room lined with books was a novelty. It was a treasure. The dramatic unveiling of such rooms evolved into elaborate transitions from the outside world, be it mountains or dense streetscapes, into the inner sanctuary (and back out). The relationship of the exterior, the quality of light, the texture, the proportion and scale, and how these things are juxtaposed were careful considerations in baroque architecture. Through this series of leporello notebooks, I sought to capture this experiece.
