Transverse Spaces *Work and drawings created in collaboration with Kate Theodoridis *
Site: Syracuse, New York Professor: Sekou Cooke Programmatic regions are superimposed in the renovation and addition to an existing building and the resulting overlapping spaces become transitional zones. Early material studies led to the utilization of copper tubes to create a dynamic screen used on the perimeter of the transitional zones in order to control and alter the user’s visibility. Comprehensive design charrettes addressing code, structure, mechanical and environmental systems all had immense influence in the iterative development process of this design proposal.

673 Fifth Ave. Site: New York, NY Professor: Yichen Lu & Razvan Voroneanu Through the extensive production of study models, a scheme developed in which two programs occupy the same structure and space while offering glimpses of the opposing space without ever physically interrupting one another. The proposed structure consists of folding walls that serve as structural supports as well as an aggressive divisor between the gallery space and the studio space. One side of the wall belongs to each program and only through the operation of folding are the programs able to shift their form throughout the building and create a captivating dynamic section.

Through the Cracks Site: Bologna, Italy Professor: Luca Ponsi A house designed for twin camera collectors (one an extrovert, the other an introvert) was developed through a project strategy that emerged from an analysis of the urban fabric of Bologna. The house takes on a form of crack-like negative spaces that meander around and inform the organization of its counterpart: positive masses. The extrovert occupies the positive space while the introvert occupies the negative space; both occupy the same house but their spaces never interfere with each other’s. The introver t u tilizes a secondary system of cracks to operate a camera mechanism in order to watch the extrovert. The movies are then displayed in
a public plaza under the house, revealing the extroverts life and daily rituals.

Roosevelt Island Affordable Housing Site: Roosevelt Island, NYC Professor: Elizabeth Kamell This project explores the act of dwelling in which a system of layers that are expressed through the physical presence of structural walls dictates the way one dwells by either living and moving along the walls versus through the walls. A sequence inherently evolves from this system as the walls frame views and separate programmatic zones along one’s path from the inland soccer field out to the shore. The act of living either amongst the layers or through the layers is worked out from the small scale of a micro unit up to the large scale of a master plan.

Southpoint Ferry Terminal Site: Roosevelt Island, NYC Professor: Ted Brown The site that encompasses the proposed ferry station and esplanade consists of a field of microclimatic figures that manipulate the landscape by peeling up and dipping down to create opportunities for program within the sectional depressions and inclines of the ground surface. The figures also embody ecologically programmatic intent by means of storm swales, protective hills, and water collection devices.

Professional Work Long Island, New York Mancini Mui Architecture Throughout my two years at Mancini Mui Architecture I utilized the knowledge and skills that I had obtained from my studies in order to assist in producing schematic designs and construction documents for residential and commercial projects. My professional experience here includes field measuring, documentation of existing conditions, production of schematic design drawings, obtaining samples, production of structural details and production/submittal of complete sets of construction documents. I was also given the opportunity to go on site visits and deal directly with clients.

For this restaurant project I assisted in drawing floor plans, developing elevation drawings and drawing construction sections and details of the proposed facade and exterior patio. I also drew interior elevations of the proposed schematic plan.
