Zoo York This project, situated on the corner of 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem, NY, explores a voyeuristic idea of how life in New York City acts as a “sitcom” performance within an 8-unit apartment complex. By using animals of various sizes as a parti of scale, this building creates identifiable units that differ in size, location within, and match the personified traits and possessions of each animal residing in the unit. The “social butterfly” tenant lives in the small, central unit, and contains butter fly chairs, a futon for frequent visitors, and a bug catching net. The “noisy elephant” unit is larger, has oversized furniture, and a table full of peanut shells. Whether they know it or not, each person in New York City is acting in a performance. This building aims to be a catalyst for that performance, both by the passersby looking in, and for the residents who inhabit the building.

Fear, Awe, & Wonder
This apartment complex is located in Columbus, Ohio on a site known to locals as “The Confluence� due to its adjacency of two rivers and numerous highways. This project aims to provoke three architectural effects: fear, wonder, and awe; three terms not often grouped together to describe buildings, but used here in such a way to design an interesting and unique living experience. Through the tilting of the glass and steel residential towers, the undulation of a private backyard plinth which utilizes a porous surface to sporadically disperse light to the public access contained both inside and underneath, these three effects are stimulated.

Architecture: Not to Scale This project explores four architectural domains in which scale marks architecture: representation, form, construction, and ornamentation. In other words, it asks “How is it described?”, “How is it organized?”, “How is it made?”, and “What does it look like?” Each of these questions explains governing rules that determine a scale, which results in a mastery of all four to a productive misreading of scale. This is achieved by using the repetition of similar geometric forms and both typical and atypical architectural conventions that span across three scales; small, medium, and large. The scales function differently in each. For example, in the small house typology, the wall functions as a typical wall, while in the large office building, the wall becomes so thick that it transforms into an occupiable double loaded corridor. Rugs are also used to give a sense of continuous scale. In the house, the room is so small that the rug must flip up onto itself in order to fit. In the large building, the rug is so small, it is almost unable to be read. The exterior also produces a misreadng of scale through different sized, atypical shaped windows. Through these various techniques, scale is distorted and typological identities are misread.

Floating Dormitory: University of Chicago The first half of this studio focused on research analysis of the site at the University of Chicago, to aid in the design of a dormitory. Using GIS to make maps to study the relationship between industry and nature, I combined the ideas of old versus new industry. The “old industry” was represenented as the Chicago stockyards during the Industrial Revolution, and was expressed through materiality of the façade. The “new industry” is the export of education that the University of Chicago has to offer. Nature came into play by dictating movement though the site, and the intertwining of ivy on the steel grid of the façade. Various sized planters were placed on the concrete hardscape to indicate a flow of pedestrian movement both through the entirety of the site and to points of entry. This dorm houses more than 800 students, while also containing retail accessable to the public, a dining hall, classrooms, and a library. This building aims to give a nod towards the history of the city, while looking towards the expansion of education of the future.

Digital Catenary Curves: A Study The objective of this study was to take a historic architectural experiement and use modern day technology to transform the experiement into something that can be applicable in the present day. I chose to research Gaudi’s hanging chain models which aided him in the construction of many of his designs. In this case, how does the original study of catenary curves from Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia translate into a modern design in the 21st century? How can these studies be scaled up to become an occupiable space? Through a series of both physical model studies and experiments with Grasshopper and Kangaroo scripts, I was able to understand how different weights and lengths of strings would produce different curves, ultimately resulting in the creating of a student relaxation area on the rooftop garden of the Knowlton School of Architecture

Force of gravity acts downward on strings at constant distance, X. Longer strings have more control points
When a weight is added, the longer string form a deeper curve.

New York City Design Interventions- Gensler
The project which lasted the duration of my internship was a collaborative analysis and proposal for two projects to revitalize the “underneath and in between� spaces in the Brooklyn Strand. The New York Economic Development Corporation reccomended two sites, an intersection underneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, and the pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. My studio team and I designed new pedestrian signage for the entrance to the brooklyn bridge, and also a light installation which would make the area feel more safe at night. At the site of an underpass at the BQE, we proposed a two phase design which would first turn the area into a safe and usable crosswalk, and second, make the area an enjoyable and interactive social space.
