CRISICITY: URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ANTHROPOCENE GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT + OYSTER FARMS STUDIO PROFESSOR: ALEXANDRA BARKER
Evolution of the terrestrial sphere has seen an existential crisis of mankind. We as human race have contributed enormous genocide to the various ecosystems leading to anthropocene and hence to preserve the natural evolution it is obligatory to add sustainable and meaningful development. The Greenway Master Plan [GRID] (Green Resilient Industrial District) houses many projects out of which the Geothermal power plant amplifies around the idea of retaining the existing factories. The focal point of the geothermal plant is to encourage green manufacturing and dispense jobs to the local community at Sunset Park. The project approach revolves around preserving the existing industrial disposition adjoining the greenway master plan.The existing building envelope was treated like a shell which encapsulates the idea of a weathering ship’s hull, the complex systems like conduits, machinery, and ductwork required for the plant and the systems catering to green architecture are packed in this envelope. The wastewater generated from the geothermal plant avails itself for algae cultivation running at the bottom of the complex geometry of the pipes.

WASTE TO ENERGY + RECYCLING CENTRE AQUAPONICS AND BOTANICAL GARDEN STUDIO PROFESSOR : DYLAN BAKER-RICE STUDIO PARTNER : SOHHEE OH
The project is a waste-to-energy + recycling centre located in the Brooklyn Navy Yards. The design merges the native wetland with industrial processing system by connecting them through public circulation that weaves through both the interior and exterior to as a kind of experiential diagram of interconnected material waste and renewall streams. The formal design derives from casting vessels which could then allow the systems and process machines to occupy for their core functions while connecting with one another through a network of pipes that penetrate the building shells. Like living creatures occupying and appropriating their environment as it is, the systems occupy the best of what’s available imperfectly while smaller organisms make use of the diminishing left over space. It’s an assemblage of components that evolves into something richer and more robustly interconnected with time. The inclusion of a botanical garden and aquaponic fishery temperature regulated by the waste processing system, and each contributing to combined material collage, highlights the aesthetic of system.

URBAN QUALITIES AND MATERIALITY: URBAN HOUSING CO.ED AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUDIO PROFESSOR: KUTAN AYATA
The project deals with the exterior trying to blend with the urban context and the interior acting as one single entity. The aim of the project was to understand how the negative spaces could start building as a habitable space. The project further deals with understanding the correlation between habitable and inhabitable spaces and develop a co-living space. A 40-story housing project located in Downtown Brooklyn. This project deals with the amalgamation of different typologies of housing. It further develops the correlation between the interiority and the exteriority of the residential spaces and the public spaces. The aim of the project was to develop an understanding between the in-between spaces and how they

INTERIORITIES AND CONTEXTS MARITIME SCHOOL
STUDIO PROFESSOR: MARIA SIEIRA
This design studio addresses a specific site through the interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this inside out approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensembled of architecture programs and the multiple context of a local institution.
The school is lifted above the flooding plane so that the ground level of the school is continious with the surrounding urban ground and park. Within the school, the spaces are organised arround exaggerated circulation spaces, which become more important than the classrooms themselves. Special care is taken to not let that ground be shaded and become an unpleasant space, by carving through the building and letting sunlight penetrate all the way down to the ground floor and through the southern face that face the park.

MEDIA AND METHODS PAVILLION
STUDIO PROFESSOR: RYAN BROOKE THOMAS
This studio is an introduction to the fundamental concepts, processes and skills required for architectural design. with a series of abstract yet non-reductive exercise the project will create and discuss formal, spatial and material relations. Spatial inclusion Pavillion : To develop a space meant to enhance the sensual experience, visual experience and perpetual experience. with the help of the space syntax, the project includes axiality, centrality, symmetry, rhythm congurence and repetion in the design.
Long Section:
The section deals with how the contour lines meet each other to create tangency and axiality.
Top to Bottom: The models explore the repetition and contour lines of a tea pot an how they texture of this put crreate lines that meet each other and create a symmetrical space.
NEW INTERIORITIES CIRCULATION
STUDIO PROFESSOR: HART MARLOW
This course introduces students to contemporary mediums, methods and theories of how digital tools impact basic concepts of architectural representation and experience. This course introduces students to advanced methods of architectural modeling, drawing and visual communication. The focus of the course emphasizes multimedia methods of modeling and drawing. Topics include the introduction of composite modeling/fabrication/assembly, composite visualization, methods of developing Building Information Models (BIM) and methods for scripting within various modeling environment. This project for me catered to learning softwares like grasshopper and Revit and exploring theses softwares to create a rather versatile design approach rather than the conventional method.
ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION NO-BOUNDARY SCHOOL
STUDIO PROFESSOR: ABHIJIT SAHASRABUDHE
My thesis proposes a school where students gather to learn which becomes a means of passage for the exchange of information between the city & the isolated community. To create a campus which ignites the senses and the natural curiosity of children, to have a place where innovation, creativity and learning flourishes. A school which provides learning a new meaning and develops the students creativeness in every possible field which interests them. Like any institution, the school must cater two audiences: its users and the public. A formal education: a school consisting of lecture space for children of age 3 to 18 years old. Alternative education: a school consisting of alternative learning spaces for performing arts, literature, sports, agriculture etc. Which will let students identify their strength and weakness. Accommodation: as the school is a distant learning system it will also cater to their residential needs.
