Objective

Volunteering and Hobbies St. Joseph’s House & Shelter (Troy, NY)

As a native New Yorker, I have grown up in a city more dynamic than ever. Changing laws continuously alter the landscape, dramatically shifting the city’s culture over the years.

In recent years, the shift had become most radical with a resurgence in real estate prices, along with the growing demand to live in the city.

I plan on becoming a registered architect, developing a firm that works on all scales and mediums. Ranging from objects in virtual space, and of course, architecture. I Plan on starting my own firm with a special dedication to interdisciplinary design.

The information age has led to the proliferation of many types of knowledge.

Ranging from government data to cultural media. Although the world has seemingly gotten smaller due to globalization and urbanization, the consumer have never been further removed from the effects of their consumption on both people and the planet.

September 28, 2014 - June 2015

Spend Sundays at St. Joseph’s House during lunch to help prepare, serve, and clean up during meals. The association allows the homeless a place to eat and sleep while providing new skills, conseuling, and job advice. Occupants of the House range from singles to families of six, demonstrating again the variety of those in need.

Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen (New York, NY)

2010 - Present

My first volunteering experience was here at HASK during my senior year at Xavier High School. This initiated a life-long passion for helping those in need. Located in Chelsea, this soup kitchen is one of the city’s largest and busiest soup kitchens with more than 1,000 hungry visitors, of all backgrounds, everyday.

Education Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

B.Arch, Architecture (Minor in Studio Arts) 2015 RPI has been a tremendous experience preparing me for the rigorous profession of architecture. It has lead me a profound insight into where the profession is going. Architecture requires an attention to detail, but also a larger understanding of physics, mathematics, computing, and material science.

My architectural education began with the development of the architectural joint through a project that allowed a team of students to construct a joint that attached the two together. This construction was videotaped, photographed, then analyzed to develop a series of diagrams demonstrating construction, time, and space.

The three ideas that arose out of these diagrams were: juxtaposition, translation, and revolution.

These diagrams enhanced the theories present within the photographs, and the drawings.

By relating space time, connection, and material, the project rapidly approached architectural thought processing more so than the individual parts.

The next step was to engage these drawings through a series of models that connected and were constructed using various joints and to engage these ideas. Ultimately the final basswood model could be assembled and emphasized the totality of each architectural idea of the previous diagrams and photographs.

This semester introduced me to the construction of a design methodology that embraced several medias, but allowed translation of various ideas

Spring 2011 - Architectural Design 1: Mars Inhabitation

An image of martian topography was given to each student for inspiration and development of research of the Martian landscape. Digitally enhancing the image allowed previously hidden topological changes to become emphasized, allowing mining of additional information. This independent mining of the spatial temporality of mars led to a series of diagrams acting as informative maps of spatial/temporal translations of the martian surface. Performing various methods of integrating grids, exposing structures, and forming skins allowed a series of constructive drawings to occur on multiple scales, which were then translated into models.

The program was then instated as a landing base for those new to mars, a type of lighthouse for humanity on the desolate and dangerous planet. Symbolizing human knowledge and adaptation.

Fall 2011 - Re-Envisioning the Hyde Collection:

Each student was given a work of art from the existing collection, my work was a medieval stained glass window. The methods of constructing the piece were just as important as the composition of the artwork itself. Construction lines, moments of interest, and medieval representation were juxtaposed to generate diagrams, which led to the project’s focus of contortion, which were translated to basswood models. These models served as the primary catalyst for the geometry for the museum’s addition.

The museum gave specific programmatic requirements for the addition. The museum integrates rotating geometry which afford views from all different angles, as well as the floor plans allowing multiple views of the artwork. The Hyde Museum also hosted an exhibition of the work, for which mine was selected.

Southwestern winds allow ventilation during warmer months, when visitors are visiting most to supply a more comfortable stay, as well as reducing energy usage by cutting back on air conditioning needs.

Adding trees would reduce the intensity of these southwest winds during the winter, altering summer ventilation slightly.

CASA BATLLÓ

This semester’s project was to design an off-campus housing project for travelling scholars at RPI located along the Hudson River waterfront in downtown Troy, NY. My case study building was Casa Batlló by Antoni Gaudi. By diagrammatically analyzing the radius of each wall within the building and relating proportions of each part to each other, an informed decision was learned that these curvatures were highly precise and relied on interdependent proportions.

My integrating the lessons of Gaudi’s curvature and tectonic studies, I was able to plan the use of ornament and it’s relation to the building of a housing project downtown. The unique relationship between ornamental tiles attached to the exterior of the building and the free-flowing interior atrium allowed unique affects throughout the entire project as it engaged the student population and the waterfront from both the public and private realms.

Mineral Solution Path of Mineral Flow Sequential Depositing Porous Substrate

earch age

research image

This studio dealt with generative Geologic Description design through the power of the Processing language.

The semesheet Logic Deformation ter started off with each group finding and researching a natural morphological process. My group chose crystal deposits on porous Cross-Section surfaces. It started with a series of small scale models that explored how crystals could grow on various substrates. Paper proved to be the most effective as it is a highly porous material. The large scale model utilized a cut paper that would change with the crystal growth, allowing generative design to occur. The concepts of flocking crystals were then integrated into a processing script which developed a rhino model to use as a tower with a variable site. The importance of this project was to emphasize the importance of new materiality through a new direction of design processes.

Cut Towel to Point

Our final model exemplified the necessary mutual relationship between the cut paper towel and the hydrated sodium borate solution. Minerals require a substrate to deposit on, or temperature, purity, and pressure to grow crystalline structures. Without the crystal deposits on the paper, it would not stand by itself, for it is hung in a fashion that puts it in complete tension; while underwater it seems to affect the dispersion of the apertures differently. The paper creates a tensile structure for which the crystal supports with its compressive strength; it is a mutual relationship between the crystal and the paper. The spatial characteristics of the model allow openings to occur within a differentiated range of forms, while the crystals take up most of the volumetric properties of the model. The cross section implies an increased structural capacity, based off a circular plan. The model is also twisted in elevation because of its suspension in the solution. By testing various cuts on the paper, we were able to conclude that our final model has all the required traits necessary for architectural conception.

This design for Pavilion No. 5 at the Montreal Fine Arts Museum, designed by Saucier + Perrotte, expands the museum’s hospitality, educational services, and gallery spaces. The design narrates differences amongst materials to relate to the historically to the heritage of the museum and to Montreal’s diversity.

Opaque, marble facade juxtaposes the grain of the morphologically formed marble; also acting as a unifying symbol of the museums’ pavilions’ collective material tradition. By relating differentiated materials spatially, the pavilion not only acts as a catalyst into the community, but to the rest of the world as well.

This project was filed through the NYC Department of Buildings for the purpose of installing new mechanical systems upon the roof of a luxury jeweller. My purpose was to go to the site and review where the unit would be placed, since it cannot be visible from the street (to satisfy the Landmarks Preservation Committee), I created several diagrams to prove that.

Upon failure of a property owner to install, repave, reconstruct or repair the sidewalk pursuant to a Notice of Violation issued by the Department after an inspection, the Department may perform the work or cause it to be performed and shall bill the property owner pursuant to Section 19-152 of the New York City Administrative Code. If the property owner wishes to protest the violation, he/she may make a request at the appropriate borough office within the time specified in the notice of violation and the Department shall provide a reinspection by a different departmental inspector than the one who conducted the first inspection. The findings of the second inspection supersede the findings of the first inspection.

2) Permit Required: A permit is required to install, repave, reconstruct or repair any sidewalk, except where the work involves an area of twenty-five square feet or less. A sidewalk closing permit shall be required if a minimum of five feet cannot be maintained on the sidewalk for unobstructed pedestrian passage. a)An applicant shall file: (i) An application for a sidewalk construction permit stating the location of the sidewalk work, including driveway, if applicable, and the start and estimated completion dates. All subway gratings, utility covers and castings situated in the sidewalk area which are not at proper grade or are in a dangerous condition shall be noted in the application; (ii) A Commercial General liability insurance policy in the amount of $250,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage; (iii) Workers' Compensation insurance; (iv) A plan for the restoration of the sidewalk, approved by the Department of Buildings where the existing sidewalk is the structural roof of a vault or other opening.

(2)An owner of the abutting property who files an affidavit stating therein that he/she will not employ any person or persons to repair the sidewalk for him/her, shall not be required to submit a commercial general liability insurance policy or workers' compensation insurance.

3) Permit Requirements: All permits are subject to applicable provisions contained in Section 2-02 of these rules.

4) General Sidewalk Requirements.

(1) Except as otherwise authorized, all sidewalks shall be concrete. Sidewalks shall consist of a single course of concrete. 4” in thickness laid upon a foundation 6” in thickness; in driveways and corner quadrants the concrete slab shall be 7" in thickness. b) The foundation material shall consist of clean 3/4" broken stone recycled concrete, gravel, clean granular materials or any equivalent meeting the standard specifications. The foundation material shall be tamped and compacted according to the specifications. c) The sidewalk shall be constructed of New York City Mix Design Number B3200 concrete mix as per the specifications. The concrete shall be bought from a concrete plant approved by the New York State Department of Transportation. Any permittee placing 150 square feet or less of sidewalk may require approval to use a portable mixer from the Department. Concrete shall reach a minimum strength of 3000 psi and have a minimum friction factor of 0.6 when fully cured in accordance with DOT standard specifications for B3200 concrete mix. d) Expansion joints are typically .placed at 20' intervals and at the property or lot line. Expansion joints shall be placed between curb and sidewalk. Expansion joints shall be placed between concrete of different thicknesses or to match existing expansion joints. Every effort shall be made to isolate sidewalk hardware or other fixed objects in the sidewalk such as fire hydrants and electrical boxes with expansion material Expansion joint filler material shall be placed to full depth of sidewalk.

All expansion joints shall be recessed 1/2” below finished sidewalk surface and sealed with Department specified sealer as soon as practical. The sealer should be applied carefully to avoid over-spilling onto sidewalk surface area. The joints are to, be flush with the finished surface. Joints shall not be sealed during freezing temperatures. e) The concrete shall be poured and finished in accordance with the specifications. f) Flags shall be 5'x5' where feasible. The following methods of scoring shall be employed unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner: The frontage of each building shall be divided by five. If it is exactly divisible, all flags shall be 5' wide; if not, the flags shall be plus or minus in an amount which win make them as near to 5' as possible. Cross flag scoring shall be at 90 degrees to the building line and curb. The flag markings along the sidewalk between the curb and property fine shall be parallel with the property line and curt and be uniformly 5' apart commencing at the property line, with the odd flag width, if any, nearest the curb. g) All flags containing substantial defects shall be fully replaced. Patching of individual flags is not permitted. h) When an existing concrete sidewalk is to be replaced and the foundation material meets specifications, the foundation material can be retained and graded to the required subgrade. Any foundation material not meeting specification shall be removed. i) Sidewalk Grades. Unless a waiver of grade .is granted by •the Department, permanent sidewalks shall be laid to the legal curb grades. j) Transverse Slope: Sidewalks shall be laid to pitch from the building fine toward the curb except special cases as noted. The minimum slope calculated on a line perpendicular to the curb, shall be 1" in 5', and the maximum shall be 3” in 5'. Minimum stapes shall be used wherever possible.

Note: The maximum transverse slope permitted for vault fights, covers, gratings and other sidewalk structures is 1 ¾” in 5'. k) Longitudinal Slope: The longitudinal slope of the sidewalk 'shall be uniform and parallel to the curb at the curb's proper grade. l) Comer Treatment: The two slope lines meeting at the intersection of the two building lines shall drop from a common point at the building comer toward their respective curbs at a rate within the limits prescribed by these regulations. If this is not possible, the applicant shall submit sketches or drawings, in duplicate showing the method of treatment proposed, to the Commissioner for approval. m) Pedestrian Ramps: Any person constructing, reconstructing or repairing a comer shall install pedestrian ramps in accordance with the specifications and in accordance with the latest revision of Standard Drawing H-1011. n) Adjoining Existing and New Sidewalks: Junctions and transitions between new sidewalk and existing walk shall conform to the specifications. o) Tree Pits and Trees: i) No trees shall be planted •in the sidewalk area unless a Street Opening Permit is issued by the Department. No such permit shall be issued by the Department unless the prior written consent of the Department of Parks and Recreation authorizing the tree planting is furnished. Tree pits shall be constructed in accordance with the specifications.

3 - This was a unique project because the job was ordered by the owner, rather than the contractor. By referring to DOT regulations for driveways, I assembled these drawings, as well as submitting the paperwork in the Bronx. This project was initiated by the DOT due to the neighborhood’s deficient roadways.
