ALLEN COLLABrative CULTURAL BEACON
Fall 2014 Civitas Professor: Erkin Ozay Partner: James Kubiniec
The intersection at Allen and Main has the potential to elevate the culture of Buffalo. Taking advantage of this location, it will contain apartments for thriving artist throughout buffalo, where events such as First Friday can be absorbed into the gallery. Allen Collab contains many areas for work and display, as well as flexible apartment units that can be expressed as open galleries. The form is derived from the context and future potentials of the city. The volume drapes from these key nodes creating unique spaces within and above the units to accommodate different artist needs. The back becomes marketable towards painters and film photographers, while the units on the street become marketable towards sculptors and the like. On the site the form creates two seperate courtyard dynamics, while the skin provides for a range of preferences, light and privacy, creating an overall exciting place to live.

Delaware|Chippewa Skin Build Spring 2014 Professor: Brad Wales Office Allowing for a direct relationship between lines and new forms of fabrication sparks a catalytic way of thinking about architecture and the way we build. The design build aspect creates a dialogue between the office and the shop, the hypothesis and the experiment. The office has a focus on pushing the boundaries and redefining the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;skinâ&#x20AC;? in architecture. The building mass lifts up on the street to reveal the shop; and a system of large scale CNC fabrication. This system climbs up the office tower and becomes skin; creating an interstitial occupiable sun space that becomes a breathing vessel for the office space, pumping and articulating airflow and sunlight.

Field Conditions La Malcontenta
Spring 2013 Professor: Gregory Delaney Villa As part of an effort to realize a conceptual addition to the Villa Malcontenta, the villas objectivity was dissolved into a field study. Particular interest was given to the Palladian parterre. The Parterre breaks down in its emphasis on the right angle and dissolves into plans that begin to order themselves, deriving at a new condition.
Malcontenta addition library and residence
Spring 2013 Professor: Gregory Delaney
Resulting from the field condition is a structure that harmonizes with the villa. Planes create a bermed structure and create a procession towards the Villa, wraping around the Villa through the parterre.
Structural Transformations
Fall 2013 Professor: Nicholas Brucia
A series of transformations are performed on an existing post, beam and column structure. Transformations are influenced by single operations. The transformations imply that there is a relationship to the structures individual parts. The goal was not to try to optimize these structures in any way, but merely to understand the advantages and weaknesses inherent in each one.
The Marketmations
Fall 2013 Professor: Nicholas Brucia
This market pushes the boundaries of a traditional market by introducing an extension of the products lifetime. The form, influenced by the Yokohama terminal for its openness, and weaving of spaces, is inherited and utilized for market functions, such as growing, making, stocking, browsing, selling and consuming. An extension of traditional market functions. Consumers circulating through the market weave through spaces where products are grown, made, and sold. A study was done to understand crop growth in buffalo. In cold months, visitors are able to witness the dormant nature of particular crops, a process and spectacle critical for the vitality of the crop in the spring. Care was taken in a study to optimize the folded plate structure in terms of growth sq. footage. The structure also accommodates water, and the folded plate is braced naturally by vegetation.

Patterns of Use Products through time
mations
Fall 2013 Professor: Nicholas Brucia
Markets rely on three behaviors inorder to function. These are Browsing, Purchasing, and restocking. These are the catalyst that allow the market to adapt to the variability of the market typology. The Bidwell Farmers market, and the Lexington Co-op, located in buffalo, are the locations of this study. Market functions where mapped out based on the behavioral relationships between consumers and products. The study is callabrated to 1 second exposures every other second to map out movements of particular activities in the market.

Tokyo Dialect Summer 2014 Professor: Nicholas Brucia
.166
The dialogue of Japanese present in Tokyo has often been criticized as not being “Japanese” enough, unlike its Kyoto counterpart. Just as in spoken language the cities themselves have a characteristic dialogue to themselves, a byproduct of its way of function. Though this mapping exercise, what is recorded in sound and image is a recording of Tokyo’s native dialect, in the form of what the sound is and its individual frequency. Therefore a bike or car horn becomes a different organism in every occurrence. However just as every phrase is different, dialect can still be examined and identified. Through identifying a collection of sounds, and examining their relationships to each other, a deeper understanding of the city and its dialogue is gained simultaneously as the system of measurement is able to refine and adapt itself through continuous study.

TRI-PAR PAVILLION location_Fukushima Summer 2014 Partners: University at Buffalo Tokyo Study Abroad 2014 group, in collaberation with Studio X, Shioya. Professor: Nicholas Brucia The Tri-Par Pavillion utilizes multiple dry fit connections modeled through rhino, and cut using a four axis plasma cutter. Care had to be taken with the structural integity of each joint as well as cordination with the sequence of fitted parts. In the process, multiple joints were designed, few were used.

Catenary Arch Spring 2012 Partner freshman project - Group of seven Professors: Mathew Hue & Robert Garlow
Investigating pouring hydrocal into rigid forms to obtain predetermined forms for much of the semester, the task here was to develop a thin shell span using hydrocal, while working with a team of seven other students. This use and application is diffrent in that an imbedded formwork, burlap, which took the squae footage and layout of the place, was dipped and painted with hydocal in thin layers. A suspension system created the structure through gravitationally induced pleates, which would behave similar to a column and provide rigitity. In addition the suspension system would then be used to rotate the thin shell form and create space. Asymetry was used to develop a dual program within the space. One side would provide seating, while the other a space for circulation.
