SALARYMAN SPECTACLE Office I Theater I Market Tokyo, Japan
The salaryman is a product of modernization and a remnant of post - WWII. The salaryman has been negatively influenced by media and stereotypical images portraying the repitious, mundane aspects of life. This is not the desired future for contemporary youth, who rather value impermenancy and variance to create a healty lifestyle. By bringing elements of Tokyo back to the salaryman’s everyday life, such as market and theater, his/her pattern of activites creates new modes of productivity, flexibility and change that will enhance future development in society.

PROGRAM OF GROUND FLOOR
Salaryman Spectacle I 4
The corporations chosen as the office program for this structure were the car companies Renault and Nissan, which have recently merged together to avoid bankruptcy. This new unique corporate structure has brought about a new typology of organization. The diagram to the far right divides productivity and workflow spatially within the office and this process spirals throught the building to produce spaces that look into a courtyard where all activity is displayed and enacted back to the community.

INCISA VALLEY
Middle + Elementary School Incisa, Italy Incisa is a unique village city that is enclosed by rolling hills. This project began in a workshop where students from various schools and countries worked together to develop a conceptual framework. Our basic massing strategy was to link existing structures - a historical wall to the north and a small structure to the east. We were then asked to develop the project individually. While I maintained our principal of a shared, central zone of activty, this space became a playful, folding landscape. Major programmatic elements - a gym, lab, cafe and library - became separate, distinguished objects from the unified whole.

Unlike the high school programs we have in the US, the education systems in Italy require high school students to specialize their studies before their college experience. So instead of a general college prep education, they choose a school of their choice: the arts, humanities or science. Therefore, the elementary and middle schools in Italy is the place for students to explore their potential and discover their interests. The educational labs (as seen in the two left images) combine the facilites of learning together in one place. This includes a science lab, music room, theater space, and film room.

CERAMIC TILE MARKET
Commercial I Residential Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Currently there is a division between tourists and the indigenous population of Punta Cana. The masterplan of this region aims to use the market as an amenity that enourages interaction between the local vendor and the temporary visitor. The market borrows the local color and culture of the Dominican Republic through ceramic tile. The flat, mural-like condition of the tiles are transformed sculpturally inside the market and defines the division between apartment units above.

POST STANDARD NEWSPAPER BUILDING
Office I Newsroom I Archive I Library Syracuse, NY The Post Standard needs major rennovation. Despite the fact that building fronts the most important square in downtown Syracuse, it is plagued with limited openings. This new design aims to re-purpose this south-facing facade into one that promotes energy conservation while protecting the identity of the Post Standard. The building also commuicates the process of newspaper production. While the ground level block serves the public (with a library, cafe and archive), the floating mass above creates a dynamic, secluded space for production (offices for writers, editors, staff, etc.)
