ROCINHA RECYCLING INSTITUTE RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL MArch Thesis Project Program: Aluminum Recycling Center, Innovation Center, Public Space In Brazil, Rio’s favelas are growing at nine times the rate of the formal urban fabric. The absence of infrastructure on the fringes of the city has led these thriving micro-urban centers to create their own building vernacular. The built fabric of Rocinha, the most populated favela in Brazil, appears to undulate, multiply and spill into the deep valley between two mountains. The goal of this project was to provide immediate infrastructural support on a site prone to landslides along the main road through the favela. The aluminum recycling center is built into the face of the cliff, stabilizing the land and creating a public green space. The material research institute provides roof-top public space and elevator access to the Laboriaux neighborhood.
01 CRADLE TO CRADLE Rocinha uses an informal system of recycling aluminum that rests on the backs of over one thousand catadores who separate the material by hand from dumping sites along the slum’s main road. Dozens of independent truck drivers then transport the recyclable waste to massive processing facilities located far outside the city. The Recycling Center is designed to harness the informal aluminum collection system the catadores who live in the favela have created, and produce valuable raw materials for the favela’s profit. The Institute is equipped to process small quantities of recycled aluminum to produce construction materials such as honeycomb panels, window treatments and other custom architectural components, in an effort to democratize architectural knowledge and support the favela building vernacular.

01 RISE OF THE FAVELA Rocinha has an estimated population of 235,000 people living in an area of just 1.5 sq. kilometers. The favela sprawls over the Southeastern area of Rio de Janeiro where the ridge of the two mountains that tower over Rio de Janeiro forms dangerously steep slopes. The recycling center, like other publicly funded projects, is located along the main road, Estrada da Gåvea. The first and only reliable transportation and sanitation route, the street is known as the backbone of the favela’s informal infrastructure. This site is a void in the favela fabric caused by a steep ridge that left crumbling structures along the road after a fatal landslide. It is currently used as an informal dumping site for two neighborhoods. The center is a sustainable model for small-scale aluminum processing capable of generating income and providing architectural components in a closed-loop system.

300 CANAL TOWER NEW ORLEANS, LA Individual Project Program: 32-Story Mixed Use Studio Advisor: Amar Eloueini This is an individual competition entry for a high-density residential & mixeduse tower in downtown New Orleans, one block from the Mississippi River. The site is located in a high-traffic area on a small corner lot with spectacular views of the entire city. The building’s floor plates shift out over the sidewalk to create shared outdoor spaces throughout. The facade acts as a steel exoskeleton, tying to the building’s structural core with large steel trusses and moment frame shear walls.

NEW ORLEANS DANCE ACADEMY NEW ORLEANS, LA Individual Project Program: 5-story Mixed Use Studio Advisor: Andrew Liles AIA This is an individual competition entry for an institutional building to house the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Orleans Dance Academy. The program includes a theater, classrooms, public event spaces, and a restaurant. I made an effort to design for LEED certification, implementing advanced 3-phase mechanical equipment, which is separated into zones by public and private program. The challenge to optimize the building systems in the hot & humid climate of New Orleans called for passive cooling strategies such as a breathable circulation core & thermal chimney, solar panels, and insulated glass with a PV ceramic frit that reduces solar heat gain and produces electricity to cool the building.

BREAK THE 3D PRINTER NEW ORLEANS, LA 3D Printing Research Project Duration: 6 months Mentor: David Merlin AIA Tulane School of Architecture received 2 new Z-Print 3D printers. The goal of this project was to learn to optimize their use and push the machine’s output to its limits, testing curve precision, tensile strength, balance, and trying to create the thinnest possible surface. I designed a grasshopper script, which allowed parametric control over the material thickness of each 3D print in various ways, such as changing the lofted surfaces, the punctures, and the cantilevers of the voronoi pattern I generated from a series of point clouds. One of the delightful discoveries in attempting to create an impossibly thin surface was the transparency of the 3D printed material in the light.
