NEW OSWALD PROPOSAL ARCH 431, Yasmine Abbas, Fall 2018
This project explored feasible designs to replace the existing Oswald building on Penn State’s campus. My partner and I engaged the site by defining a primary axis extending from Old Main to direct foot traffic through a central plaza. The building orientation optimized sun exposure controlled by vertical sunshades. We mitigated existing rainwater management issues using swales and roof drainage that feed into a retention pond. The water is celebrated and used to filter light to the museum below the pond through skylights.

URBAN FARM SCHOOL
ARCH 332, Malcolm Woolen, Spring 2018 The Urban Farm School is an experimental learning space centered around sustainability and the environment. I developed a structural system resembling trees in a forest using heavy timber construction. This created an oscillating roof structure designed with terraced photo-voltaic glass for rainwater and solar collection as well as ventilation. The facades also included operable windows, a louver and plenum floor system, and sun-shading devices. Open floor plans surrounded by glass simulate an outdoor environment where farming can be practiced year-round, challenging traditional notions of learning spaces.

MUMMERS MUSEUM
ARCH 331, Katsuhiko Muramoto, Fall 2017 I approached the design challenge of proposing a new museum by creating an architectural representation of the elaborate Mummers costumes for the New Year’s Day Parade in Philadelphia. The semi-transparent, undulating facade of the building was inspired by the dynamic appearance of the costumes. This was juxtaposed by rigid bearing walls and a structural grid of support columns. The interior is made up of a large atrium featuring the Winner’s Circle and a grand staircase that leads up to the gallery levels.

BRIDGE THE GAP
ARCH 204, Marcus Shaffer, Spring 2017 My group and I explored the properties and fabrication process of various materials to construct a lightweight bridge design with the least amount of material possible. A number of welding techniques were used to construct a hollow frame from which thin slabs of concrete were suspended using 1/8� steel cable. The design was completed after a great deal of research, prototyping, and material testing. The final bridge underwent a series of stress tests which resisted any deflection or fracture on the structure or connections.

CAST + PLAY
ARCH 232, Benay Gursoy, Spring 2017 This was an experiment with geometries to create a unique and original masonry unit. The blocks were fabricated by 3D printing pieces for a form work to create a silicon mold. The mold was used for the final plaster pieces that could be stacked and interlocked to form various wall configurations. We created a relatively simple and modular block that could be used to form a number of load-bearing variations, allowing for full openings and transparent portions.

ANTHROPOLOGIE URBN, Summer 2017
As a Store Design Intern at URBN, I completed the design of a store for a newly-constructed shopping center in California that required an expedited turn-around. I participated in each phase of the design including initial sketches, creating the 3D model, and selecting interior finishes. I consulted with lighting designers, interior designers, creative directors, construction managers, and visual merchandisers in weekly conferences where I provided detailed project briefs and design packages. The store is currently completed and in use.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RENDERINGS CRA Architects, Summer 2017
As an Architectural Intern at CRA, I produced hyper-realistic renderings for several multi-million-dollar projects in their final design phases. These renderings were updated according to structural and architectural changes, and selections were made alongside a team of interior designers for finishes and color schemes. The visualizations were completed with fully-animated interior and exterior fly-throughs of each project which were presented at community board meetings and used in official press releases related to the projects.

MILE MARKER 0 HOK, Summer 2019
As an Architectural Intern at HOK, I completed pro bono work with a team of interns to develop a design for the Mile Marker 0 park of the Georgetown Canal restoration master plan. We approached the design by assessing the existing conditions at the abandoned site and consulting the client and community. The final design was presented using renderings, animations, and interactive VR scenes that will eventually be dispatched along the canal in the form of QR codes to gain funding and support from the community for the project.
