Focusing on shared ownership, Over the Garden’s Bar offers an opportunity to attract a diverse economic population through the commoning of resources. The project suggests a living situation insulated from property speculation—where land is owned by the residents and residents help fabricate their built environment—offering opportunities for better relations between diverse residents. The project aims to balance financing and encourages shared commercial ownership operations to offer revenue generation opportunities in the face of another period of growth in Islandview. Commoning offers an alternative in this framework. It suggests a living situation insulated from property speculation—where land is owned and developed by residents—offering opportunities for better relations between diverse residents. The project offers a sense of community by blurring the boundaries between public and private and encourages a sense of collective creation.

Urban Context The site is located at the intersection between East Grand Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue, the close proximity of the site to Downtown Detroit and the riverfront makes it a valuable place for economic growth. This makes the site more susceptible to transformational change as there are more opportunities for increased rents and speculators have more chances to acquire property.

Design Narrative: The combination between timber concrete composite (TCC) and cross laminated timber (CLT) serves the direct project as well as the indirect building industry in Detroit. With the inclusion of three different classes of heavy timber in the new IBC building code, wood has the potential to be a much less carbon intensive building material in the United States. Each project that incorporates it helps to integrate it better with the market. That, in combination with the TCC flooring allows large uninterrupted spans with drop beams only at the unit partitions. The TCC also allows the floors to be exposed and to function as thermally massive elements in the building, a critical aspect with the floor to ceiling windows on the tower.

The structural system is a Timber-Concrete Slab with Timber beams supported by a structural masonry wall system. The slabs would be fully prefabricated in sections and delivered as one structural component to the site.

CULTURAL RECOVERY Bedouin Heritage Centre, Dubai Udergraduate Thesis Advisor

DEC 2015 Prof. Ritu Agarwal, Prof. Debajyoyi Biswas

The Bedouin Heritage Centre, located in close proximity to the Dubai Creek is a conjunction of multiple and varied programmes centred around Emirati culture and history. This undergraduate thesis proposal, seeks to revive the history of nomadic settlements and create a communal space in the midst of an increasingly globalized city. " The heritage centre is a stage for the artist, a sanctum for the religious, a school for the student, an emporium for the trader. It becomes an opportunity to recapture heritage and foster a new relationship between the past and the present."

Site Plan

The planning of the site, takes principles from traditional courtyard planning of Arabic houses. The two negative spaces the entrance plaza and the open air theatre occupy the central location, accompanied by water bodies and local vegetation creating an 'urban oasis'.

The mosque, marks the central location on the site, adjacent to the courtyard, directing views and thus forming the core of the design. It is designed as an elevated prayer hall and accommodates spill over on the ground floor open space.

CLIMATE SF Intertidal Spaces, New York M.Arch Studio Advisor Studio Team

WINTER 2020 Kathy Velikov Halle Thompson, Torri Smith, Liyah George

The year is 2140. Sea levels across the globe have risen causing a global ecological and refugee crisis. New York City remains a vibrant metropolis in a post-flooded world. Streets have become canals and skyscrapers islands. The intertidalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a place of ambiguity with fifteen-foot tidal fluctuations twice a day, is where a new subculture has emerged. The project aims to restore the relationship between nature and human beings, improve the living environment and ecosystem diversity in a densely urbanized post-capitalist city in the cusp of climate change.

RE-ACTIVE RIDGES Ephemeral Urbanism, Mexico M.Arch Studio Advisor Studio Team

WINTER 2020 Anya Sirota Shraddha Jain, Liyah George

Plaza de las Tres Culturas, located in Mexico’s modernist housing complex in Tlatelolco is a space rich with a layered history of identity, change, political trauma, and natural disaster. Self perception, inherent to the plaza typology, which is therefore cultural, is denied at Tlatelolco by the oppressive weight of historical remembrance sustained by the overpowering vertical proportions.The project proposes a geometrically derived scenographic intervention in Tlatelolco’s plaza that promotes the disembodied inhabitation of the horizontal, drawn out of Mario Pani’s radical verticality. The architecture is explored in a dialectical perspective, reflective of the trauma and the intangible heritage of space, alongside the experience of cultural identity. Starting from the points of access across the plaza, the gaze is directed towards a series of perspectival points outside of the site, which are materialized and rendered to visually alter the perception of space.

HOTEL & SOUK Retail Souk & Hotel , Qatar Professional Work Lead Architect

OCT 2018 Roupen Yacoubian

The project consists of a mixed use development of a four star hotel and retail souk, located in Qetaifan Island North, a waterfront hub. The design aims to connect these two distinct uses through a single sculptural canopy, providing filtered light and a comfortable walk along the 400m long site. Taking inspiration from traditional souk planning, the design features several plazas and outdoor spaces. The typology is guided by a reinterpretation of traditional architecture and character translated into a contemporary language.

DURATION WORKED - 14 months ROLE - Concept design development with principal architect, design research, space planning and technical co-ordination with consultants, Schematic design submission, Material selection and co-ordination with suppliers in the preparation of construction details, Facade design and detailing. SOFTWARES - Revit 2018, Sketchup, AutoCad (Initial design Phase), Adobe Creative Suite

THEATRE OF THE STRANGE LOOP Theatre of Alternate Performances , Ann Arbor M.Arch Studio Advisor

FALL 2019 Prof. Robert Adams

A gridiron framework of parallel lines is since history, a method of apportion of land and establishing control over colonized territories, like in Roman civilizations. The grid as a totalitarian structure which creates an ordered system, consciously planned to symbolize control over a landscape and perhaps also its inhabitants. The grid pattern underlying most American cities reflects a single act of order and not a complex evolution. The project references the Jefferson Grid which currently predominates the American landscape, which evolved as a method of land survey and distribution. The Theatre of strange loops questions how architecture can challenge the existing social order, and anatomical hierarchy. The project stages four institutional instruments around the site through their non-identical twin, the physicality of the form and function are exploited to create different theatrical spaces and their structure of control over the body exposed, into a performative architecture.

AXONOMETRIC DRAWING

The project becomes a “legible sequence of various performances” and is presented as a staging of curated systems of order. The theatre of strange loops, much like Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, is a seemingly complete act which has been chopped into vignettes and rearranged like a puzzle.

BRIDGING THE CITY Intertidal Spaces, New York M.Arch Seminar Advisor Studio Team

FALL 2019 María Arquero de Alarcón Abbie Prost, Salvador Linquist, Liyah George

Indexing Cleveland’s bridges foregrounds the iconicity of transportation infrastructure along the Cuyahoga River Valley. By examining the various typologies of the bridges intersecting the river, the project instigates new opportunities for appropriation of these infrastructures and their grounds to connect the city and the river. Through the compilation of the Cuyahoga River Bridge Index, we identified four high-span bridges as having excellent opportunity for proposing contextual design interventions. The four bridges diagram identifies the infrastructures and places them in relationship to their characteristic context. In addition, each intervention addresses the unique structural and aesthetic value of the bridges, all holding significant monumental value to the Cuyahoga Valley. In considering both the aesthetic and contextual characteristics of the individual bridges, the project proposes four conceptual approaches to amplify the recreational, programmatic, and aesthetic qualities of the valley that celebrates infrastructure, industry, and the grit embedded within Cleveland’s cultural fabric.

EAST INDUSTRIAL

The Cuyahoga river valley is very pronounced in Cleveland, opening up a flat and easily accessible ground plane, an ideal location for industrial development in the late 1950’s.

Bridging the City

Through the Cleveland Bridge index, four bridges emerged as having high iconicity and presented high opportunities for elevating their inherent characteristics. Aside from their monumental value, these four bridges have the potential to capitalize on their adjacent land use. The Hope Memorial Bridge spans over the Tow Path Trail and Scranton Flats, the Irishtown Bridge spans large tracts of vacant and industrial land, the Detroit Superior Bridge has a connection to the Irishtown Bend ecological patch, and the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway Bridge is directly adjacent to major commercial hubs like the Greater Cleveland Aquarium and Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica.
