Reclaiming the Link to the Tater Town Market
Boulevard Gardens, FL
Thesis Project
The proposal for the site is designed to enhance the existing market as a landmark for the community. This will provide a social space of interaction through varying heights in planes that play with hierarchy and transparency, as well as a focus of perspective into the central area through different spatial locations. Creating a sense of superimposition emerged as the programs analyzed began to overlap each other. Merging programmatic zones allowed the breaking between public and private areas. The market creates a strong point of collision between the multiple programs surrounding it.
Market Level: Elevation +4’
Ground Level: Elevation 0’ Cafe: +2’
Second Level to Housing: +10’

NW 27th Ave.
The axis of the design is skewed from the orthogonal urban grid in order to create a forced perspective into the market. This axis forces the user to end into a central space formed where a large ficus tree acts as a focus point of congregating. From different locations the market creates the impression of being suspended between two floating planes, again adding to the concept of transparency. However after arrival within the market, the space opens up in height through the central roof, acting as the hierarchal element, and widens as one continues into the interior of the space.

Site Plan
Concept Diagram
The interior space essentially ends to a large glass wall, which frames the tree and plays with the transition between inside and outside areas. The transmuting spaces creates a hierarchy of parts, with the retail embedded into the land and the cafĂŠ with a slightly higher elevation between both programmatic spaces in order to economically and physically act as anchors of the market which lies in between. The market is elevated in order for the inhabitants to occupy the space as a stage and at the same time transition the user between outside and inside zones.

The elevation also benefits in cross ventilation, allowing the retail to receive prevailing winds through ventilation air louver control inlets, which can be controlled depending on humidity levels. The building is attenuated for maximum northern exposure for increased daylighting into the main areas. The heightened roof allows sunlight to penetrate into the internal space that is masked by the volumes in which surround it. Photovoltaic panels are placed above the market and residential components in order to aid in generating its own power and if successful enough, produce an excess amount that can be regenerated back to the grid. The roof angles in towards the main axis of the design which acts also as the valley in which rainwater is collected and directed towards the storage tanks on the west of the building. Not only is the new market meant as a local identity, but as a source of education to the community in order to enlighten on local food sourcing and sustainability by acting as an example that can be examined and applied to future improvements for generations to come.

Florida East Coast Corridor: 17th street
Fort Lauderdale, FL
The objective was to reintegrate this site into the rest of the area. With its proximity to Fort Lauderdale, major ports and attractions, and a large residential area, this site offers a lot of redevelopment potential. Creating a large network of pedestrian-friendly zones with the inclusion of mixed-use development into new and existing buildings offers a healthy balance of live, work, and play for the local residents and members of the nearby workforce. Mixed-use development occurs on both sides of the track; large-scale retail/commercial to the East and low-key retail/residential to the West. Activity faces the tracks, allowing the corridor to become more open and pedestrian friendly. Flagler Street (running North and South) and SE 16th Street (running East and West) were designated strictly for pedestrian use. These streets are converted into a pedestrianfriendly boardwalk atmosphere, anchored to the North and South by urban farms that serve the local community. The site designated for the train station would be on the block south of SE 17th Street and East of the FEC corridor. It functions as an ending point to the boardwalk, while being in close proximity to Croissant Park, Broward Medical Center and many newly developed attractions and homes.

The proposal for the transit station introduces an active visual space between the park and the community. The project becomes a focal point for the entire community, not just a place for commuting. This will allow for a visual and physical filter of the activity of the park into the station. The wide variety of retail within the station includes options for everyone, and the inclusion of a Wave Streetcar Maintenance Facility serves the need for upcoming transportation care. The west side of the station responds to the community park and school and includes programmatic elements to serve the needs of the users and architectural elements, such as built-in seating, to provide better levels of comfort to the residents utilizing the park. The design of the building conveys a grandiose image and acts as a landmark for the region. It follows an unconventional design strategy and includes sophisticated elements such as photovoltaic glass and wide-span structural elements, symbolizing the movement into the future.
Shaded Spaces
Materiality Study
The project, ‘Shaded Spaces,’ is a study of an object containing at least three interconnecting spaces. A material was also assigned in order to study the various possibilities to the largest extent. The images of the model show the study of wood in terms of flexibility versus rigidity. The model experiments how far wood can bend and resemble the characteristics of paper. The strips of wood mimic slits of paper and intertwine through the rigid pieces of wood.
