Due to the loss of industries, cities in the Hudson Valley have been facing urban decline for decades. Effects of this economic decline are seen in the valley’s urban centers in the form of social problems such as drugs and crime. Most vulnerable to this decline has been the youth population with increases in high school drop out rates and limited job opportunities. Leveraging the recent boom in the construction industry, our proposal initiates a youth workforce, allowing them to become active agents of the rejuvenating of cities and communities.
Young apprentices will take part in a 3-semester training process. Closely working with local craftsman, they will learn and work seasonally in and outside of buildings while accumulating a range of skills. As the program moves along Broadway, streetscape and storefronts will be revitalized, thereby attracting future developments in the surrounding blocks. The program not only empower the youth population with skills to preserve the region’s historic fabric, but also allows for greater job mobility regionally.
Newburgh has the largest historic district in the Hudson Valley, and the second largest in New York State. This project aims to rejuvenate Newburgh’s historic retail corridor by capitalizing on the disenfranchised youth population. Leveraging the city’s historic urban fabric and emerging anchors, this proposal is a youth training program in construction and historic preservation which is embedded in the city’s economic development.

NYCHA Food Campus Summer 2015. Instructors: Kaja Kühl, Ben Abelman, Brian Baldor, James Khamsi, Tricia Martin, Thad Pawlowski with Grace Helen Salisbury Mills and Mahima Padya.
This project focuses on two main observations. First, the pressing need for greater employment and socio-cultural integration with the East Village neighborhood. Second, the unharnessed opportunity presented by the vibrant, food economy right at its door step, separated only by an underperforming Avenue D.
Through a series of diverse urban strategies including infilling, re-purposing the ground floor, breaking the superblock, creating new public axes and connections, central ‘green avenue’, green infrastructure, landscaping etc, different components of the food-system are introduced, ranging from communal to commercial, and from educational to employment-generating. Alongside these, additional programs such as housing and commercial spaces are also introduced to allow for a more robust and resilient system that is driven, but not defined by ‘food’.
Until now, these needs and opportunities have seldom been brought into dialogue – and therefore been missed. Our proposal uses the idea of a ‘food-economy’ to stimulate the gradual transformation of NYCHA into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood-- one supporting a higher employment rate and allowing sensitive, productive integration with the East Village neighborhood.
The vision is for the Lower East Side NYCHA is not a selfsufficient, one-dimensional ‘food island’. Rather, it is a robust NYCHA community which, through an augmented sense of collective identity, increased employment opportunities, and strong point of commonality with the neighborhood, achieve greater sociocultural and economic integration with its immediate and wider urban context.
An urban revitalization and economic development proposal for the Lower East Side New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) campus of Manhattan, New York.

Oakland 2050 Fall 2013. Instructors: Rami el Samahy and Jonathan Kline with Claire He and Emily Puhnaty. An urban design proposal for the neighborhood of Oakland in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The overall goal of the Urban Design Framework proposal is to envision the future of the Oakland neighborhood in 2050. Oakland is home to various institutions, including universities, museums and hospitals, making it the academic, healthcare and cultural center of Pittsburgh. By taking advantage of this latent institutional resource as a catalyst, the Oakland community can achieve sustainable growth. Occupants will be able to live, work and play within this “knowledge community� with better connectivity throughout the neighborhood and to the rest of the city. In order to accomplish this, the framework proposes a better transit system that efficiently moves people in and out of the neighborhood along the Fifth and Forbes corridor, while

reconnecting green amenities along Junction Hollow and the waterfront corridor that continues up the North Hills. Housing will be densified, creating ample open and public space for occupants to enjoy. These proposed urban strategies are proposed with the intention of allowing Oakland to continue to densify and diversify, equipped with a developed infrastructural network that supports various economic and social activities. Underutilized and under-maintained portions of the neighborhood will be revitalized. As a result, residents and visitors alike will be able to access the rich resources in the neighborhood with ease. The proposal is guided by three urban principles: Access, Restitch and Activate.

Connect Uptown | Design Build FALL 2012. Instructor: John Folan with Matt Ho, Kevin Kuntz, Scott Harrison and Monica Tong. A proposal for a comprehensive development scheme that addresses urban, social and architectural issues in the Uptown neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Uptown has suffered economically since the 1970s when industries moved out which caused a flight of the wealthy population. Till now, it still has not been able to reestablish itself. Located between the two largest economic bases in Pittsburgh, Dowwntown and Oakland, there is much potential for the neighborhood’s residential and commercial population to thrive. The project proposes various urban strategies in response to a series of studies at the city, neighborhood and building scale. This helps to discover opportunities in order to bring in missing services and amenities, as well as to make decisions for demolition, renovation and new construction.
Backyard perspective view from Watson Street
The project site of 2640ft2 is located within a Local Commercial Neighborhood (LNC) zone. The lot is situated between two drastically different street conditions: Fifth Avenue, a well traveled street with good vehicular access, and Watson Street, a small alleyway with most backyards facing it. The proposal aims to connect the residents and businesses on either side of the streets in order to foster a greater sense of community in the area. The architecture has a physical shift that creates a front to back divide that allows both a residential and commercial program to inhabit the same space. Facing the main road, a flexible commercial space on the ground floor and a single family home on the remaining two floors and basement is proposed. Passive strategies and efficient appliances are also adopted to minimize the environment impact of the building.

ONEOTEL | Adaptive Urban Viticulture SPRING 2013. Instructor: Dana Cupkova with I-Ting Wang. A proposal for an adaptive urban viticulture hotel in Ithaca, New York. The building systems’ organization addresses issues of rainwater, waste water treatment, thermal comfort and visual quality in relation to the hotel’s habitation and wine cultivation. Wine culture is prominent in the region and the local climate is prime for growing grapes. The project illustrates an approach to integrate systems of building elements and viticulture to create a new hospitality experience.
Siteplan Siteplan
South elevation
The architecture is a manifestation of the landscape. A family of hotel room modules aggregated according to a rule set defined within the environmental parameters. The result is a series of interior spaces that organize themselves around openings to allow light into the deeper spaces of the building. Hotel rooms are arranged along the outer edge of the hotel and have access to fresh air and natural light; common spaces such as wine tasting rooms are accessible to occupants and visitors alike through a series of outdoor walkways.

Al Wakrah Fish Market and Restaurant SPRING 2012. Instructors: Rami el Samahy and Kelly Hutzell. A neighborhood development proposal for the southern edge of Al Wakrah village in Qatar, Doha. With its proximity to a proposed fishing port, the site is envisioned to be the culinary hub of the area. The area accommodates a fish market and a series of restaurants. The goal is to activate this new edge through usage during different hours of the day. In the early morning, fishing boats can dock along the E-W liwan where the public can negotiate with the boat vendors. In the evening, the restaurants will use the existing rooms strung along the liwans as private dining rooms. The shared walls of the existing rooms are removed, leaving the perimeter walls. A glass volume with exposed steel structure that takes on a pure, rectilinear form is inserted into the newly created usable space. Customers can occupy both the conditioned space within the glass volume and the space be-
Restaurant block inserted in indigenous walls with connecting catwalks
tween the glass volume and the existing wall. The three distinct glass volumes pop up onto a second story which hold a bar. A series of light- weight catwalks are attached to the outside of the glass volumes to create a second story circulation. On the second level, customers can enjoy the expansive view of the sea through an operable window system or move along the E-W parapet to the outdoor terrace. A system of glass ceiling panels held by steel cables across the barrel- shaped roof evokes the lapping of wood in traditional boat building techniques. The new structure lightly sits on the existing fabric and creates larger usable spaces and shade to encourage pedestrian access. The exposed steel structure almost disappears, creating a strong contrast with the existing mud brick walls without overbearing the old houses.

Harvard Square SPRING 2011. Instructors: Teresa Bucco and Jeremy Ficca with Bradley Sherburne and Scott Harrison. A proposal for the redesign of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The site is a triangular plaza at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street and John F. Kennedy Street. It is a highly utilized space at the heart of Cambridge, frequented by local professionals and students as well as tourists. Located at the junction of Harvard University and Cambridge, it is also the site of a major MBTA Red Line subway and bus transportation hub.
The program includes a subway entry and a media center as well as addressing the currently underutilized tip of the triangular square. The proposed design is a concrete and glass structure that corresponds to public needs, circulation flow and daylighting. The design process includes a series of casting, assembly and drawing in order to understand materiality and tectonics.

Environmental School FALL 2011. Instructor: Kelle Brooks. architecture and its environment.
A project for a kindergarten at the Beechwood Boulevard entrance area of Frick Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The site is located at the entrance of Frick Park where a natural seasonal stream runs through the park. The project examines learning environment required for unique education experiences, such as the Quaker education, and challenges the role and physical bounds of traditional classrooms. The learning experience is augmented by creating flexible learning spaces that blur the thresholds between the
The architecture straddles across the stream while allowing a series of indoor and outdoor classrooms. Children will learn alongside the changing nature, instilling an understanding and appreciation of the ecological and mechanical movement of water.
