01 More Water, Less Stone 2015 Seoul, South Korea Collaborator: Swarnabh Ghosh, Craig Rosman | Independent Competition Role: Working in a team with two architects, a large part of my role included bringing the landscape and ecological issues to the forefront in the discussion. The overarching design strategy employs precisely calibrated mounds that engage the replete riparian zones along the Han River. Jamsil-dong is a neighborhood replete with cultural, historical and ecological value. The advent of the Olympic Park in 1988 marked the neighborhood as well as the city, creating not only world-class sports infrastructure but also symbols of prosperity and global-ness - one of the many heralds of South Korea’s growing global significance. 1
Our proposal builds upon this rich history by allowing the iconic remnants of the 1988 games, most notably the Olympic Stadium, to retain their iconicity while facilitating their natural evolution and preparing them for the future. To this end, the problem lies not in making iconic form yet more iconic, but in reconstituting the landscape in which these objects sit. ‘Less Stones, More Water’ offers a solution by breaking down the vast and unyielding field of concrete upon which the stadiums sit and reassembling the landscape to allow the site to function as a rich microcosm with its own distinctive ecologies, habitats and architectures while enhancing its presence in the geography of the city and lives of its
citizens. As such, the Jamsil Sports Complex and its stadiums represent a constellation of islands, each with its distinctive characteristics defined by size and use. The proposal engages the existing architecture and breaks down all four sides of the site through precisely calibrated landforms that engage with the riverfront. This landform strategy allows a multifold increase in shore line, edge conditions and therefore habitat types, engaging the native flora and fauna in distinctive ways.

Phase 2: Construction continues on the new convention center, as the old connection to the subway stop is replaced by a loop connected the four main stadia. Earthwork, utilizing material from previous excavations, begins to form the park mounds. As the mounds are formed, construction begins on the path network that meanders through the park. Work begins on park node sites and secondary activities.

Phase 3: Completion of the path network and planting on the mound areas can continue to fill in, as the park evolves. Mound sculpting continues in response to feedback from flooding activity, vegetation, and use. The convention center is completed, giving the park use in all four seasons. Development sites for hotels, conference centers, and oďŹƒce space are integrated into the park features. The western bank of the Tancheon oers valuable park facing development parcels that straddle the elevated highway.

Role includes Design iterations, 3D Modeling, rendering, creating design presentations, grading, and coordination with Architects, Structural, Civil, MEP and other design members of a Design Team. Drawing sets have included set for ULURP, DOB, DOT and PDRM. Client: Hudson Companies Architect: FxFowle, MHG Architects Scope: Masterplanning and design of 6 Acres of landscape areas, including courtyard, street and building amenity terraces. Drawings show here from SD Set dated Nov ‘14 9
La Central is both a destination for shoppers and locals, and a series of enhanced through routes for neighbors and commuters. On passing through the landscaped courtyard and along the sidewalks and streets, pedestrians and vehicles experience a series of spaces for relaxing and playing, woven into the circulation of the city. The streetscape at La Central integrates bio-retention swales as a productive storm water element, playing up the importance of water management and natural processes. Native plantings are utilized throughout the street tree planters. Benches, bicycle racks, and street trees line La Central softening both the architecture and scale.
At the heart of the development, the courtyard is anchored by two plazas and consists of pergolas and benches, an interactive play surface and lawn areas for lounging. The plazas are highlighted by a tree canopy that brings the scale of the development down to the human. Integrated LED lights and misters activate the plazas. The residential rooftop garden similarly combines both active and passive recreation space with planted mounds, lounges, and pergolas while the extensive green roofs have simple footpaths weaving in and out of natural plantings.

SSAA Spring 2012 Gurgaon, India Thesis Advisor: Stephane Paumier, Sudeshna Chatterjee
This thesis project aims to reconcile the morphological differences of the urban fabric of New Delhi - which is of a widespread, low dense and disjointed nature to connect a public infrastructure like a library to a very successful public infrastructure, the Delhi Metro. With the synthesis and integration of these 15
public flows, the project aims to create a new typology of built public environments that can function in cohesion. Programmatic reorganization - using the existing parking as a driver of both usage, footfall and revenue as the library integrates itself into the two modal infrastructures

07 Strategic Decommissioning Harvard University Fall 2012 Cape Cod, Massachusetts Collaborator: Kim, Seol | Instructor: Pierre Belanger
Military Site in Cape Cod (Brownfield) Military sites, by their exclusionary land-use, create inscrutable boundaries for protection. Due to their expansive size, these sites tend to display unique ecological, spatial and social conditions. Bases all over the US are being decommissioned and re-envisioned (BRAC), presenting the challenge of staging their integration to their surrounding landscapes. 27
The project also focuses on pressing environmental issues around sea level rise and storm surge accommodation and the opportunities inherent to human and urban occupation richly fluid territories.
Above: The Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) in context of the Cape. The functions on the cape allow strategic opening of the site. Diagram: Graph displays environmental restoration costs of military sites across the US with the MMR as the second most expensive base.
Interpreting total decommissioning as an inflexible land-use practice, this project presents the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) as a case study for a more resilient economically and ecologically sound protocol. The hard boundary allows opportunities for permeable and inclusionary programmatic patterns that by producing changes in topography, vegetation and flow present an array of conditions from a permeable periphery to a controlled center.

Brooklyn Children’s Museum Brooklyn, NY Work performed at Future Green Studio, Project scheduled for construction in Spring 2016
Role includes Design, Iterations, graphics, drawings, 3D modeling, and presentation to Museum Staff and Board Members. Client: Brooklyn Children’s Museum Scope: Rooftop landscape refurbishment Area: 10,000 SF 39
Architect: Toshiko Mori Architects, ARUP In response to the museum’s diverse programming needs, the landscape design incorporates movable features to allow for flexibility whilst providing fixed elements to serve as multi-purpose anchors for various events. The space is loosely broken into different programmatic spaces: The Native Woodland, a natural learning and exploration environment, The Green, a space for free play, The Lounge, a place of
flexible outdoor furnishing for children and adults, and an outdoor dining area with picnic and café tables. Planting is introduced as an interactive, educational tool as well as a shade device to provide thermal comfort in the most exposed areas of the rooftop. The 20,000 square foot rooftop space will accommodate events ranging from children’s performances to weekend weddings.
