ANALYSIS

STEVEN HOLL (Third Year, 2017)

The studio was focused on stair analysis to understand how stairs connect as well as how it creates interaction. My choice of research was Steven Holl’s stairs in NYU’s Department of Philosophy (2007) located in New York City. The six story stairs shaft was designed to bring porosity of light and shadow that change seasonally. The south façade glazing contains prismatic film that illuminates the stair shaft to make this porosity of light Holl wanted. The center of the shaft is decorated with prismatic squares that hang to refract the rainbow lights. The walls and balustrade is all painted white to be the blank canvas for the rainbow light. The structural concrete landings and stairs are held with steel beams that are bolted to the walls.

MICHAEL MANDREDI & MARION WEISS (Third Year, 2017) The studio was focused on faรงade design to understand how a faรงade connects to a building. My partner Bryan Ortega and I chose the Diana Center in Barnard College (2010) located in New York City. Architects Michael Mandredi and Marion Weiss designed the orange glass building for a national design competition that won a National AIA Award, and a Progressive Architecture Award. The orange faรงade contains 1,154 glass panels that range from transparent to opaque. We were interested in how the faรงade angled in each level and how the panels ranged in opacity. The architects were trying to mimic the original brick buildings that are nearby by using the orange panels.

PIERRE CHAREAU (Third Year, 2017)

In Construction Technology II, the class was analyzing steel and concrete structures to understand the building method. My partners Daniel Blanc, Joande Hernandez and I chose the Maison de Verre (1932) by Pierre Chareau located in Paris, France to research on.

Our group made a scaled model of the faรงade and interior with the famous red-orange steel beam that supports the interior. We were required to understand how the building of our choosing physically stands and connects back to the ground. We drew out the cross section to display the overall connections of the building. The model displays a closer look at the connections.

STAIR DESIGN (Third Year, 2017)

In studio, we were given a fictional site that was between two four story buildings that needed stairs to connect each other. The stairs were to have a form of interaction and purpose besides getting from floor to floor. My partner Bryan Ortega and I designed a stairs that were to create a form of networking while walking through. We created a steel and concrete staircase that had large landings for space of leisure and socializing. Our stairs went diagonally from building to building to have a quicker way from not only going from floor to floor but from building to building.

SCHOOL DESIGN (Fourth Year, 2018)

In Studio, we were to design a pedagogy for an elementary school gearing towardes the ages of 7-9.

The site was situated in Central Park West between W 100th Street and W 99th Street. My pedagogy focused on the idea of teaching children through three forms of art; performing, visuals, and linguistics.

The form of the classrooms were dictated on four forms of teaching, which are demonstration, physical, individual and hands on. Each classroom is derived by cubes that are 100 square feet per cube and increased depending on the teaching format. I came to this conclusion by first experimenting with cubes in different stacking formats.

SUSTAINABLE MULTIUSE DESIGN (Study Abroad, 2018)

During study abroad in Berlin, the class was place into groups to develop an environmentally friendly, multiuse building in Wedding, Berlin. The building was to focus on a group of people we noticed significant numbers on due to the demographics. My partners, Zhoujian Sheng, Mohammed Anata Gueye and I researched on the demographics came across a high percentage on young families with one or two children at most.

Taking this into consideration we wanted to design a family friendly neighborhood with an artistic environment. Thus we created a apartments buildings that would line up against the Panke river and have public art studio on the ground level. The apartments would have a balcony on the second story that would connect to a bridge over the river.

SCRIPTING (Fourth Year, 2018)

In Computational Design class we explored the world of designing through coding and scripting.

Grasshopper, Kangaroo, Quelea, WeaverBird, and Processing were taught for this. The course also required to used the digital fabrication shop to get familiar with the machines such as the CNC mill, 3D printer, and laser cutter. We designed patterns that draped over mesh surfaces, created stimulations that mimicked movement of birds, and sculpted curved surfaces that had subdivisions.
