amazing years of sponsorship! For over 10 years, Pella Windows and Doors has been the program sponsor for the Design Showcase at NJITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Architecture and Design. We realize that Pella has the opportunity to support a variety of schools and a variety of initiatives, and we are grateful that they continue to choose our event. The many years of continued support demonstrate not just their dedication to the College, but also their relationships and support for our alumni. We truly appreciate their continued involvement in this event and look forward to seeing Pella in our Gallery in future years.

DESIGN SHOWCASE 2017

Welcome to CoAD!

This is the first Design Showcase since the retirement of Urs Gauchat, Dean of the College for twenty-five years, a length of service that is remarkable in any field, and extremely rare in schools of architecture and design. During his long and distinguished tenure, Gauchat ushered the school into the digital age, doubled its enrollment, and established the College of Architecture and Design by introducing degree programs in Interior Design, Industrial Design and Digital Design. The “Imaging Lab” became the platform for all studio work, making NJIT the first school in the nation to embrace a digital approach. With support from Design Showcase, this initial effort paved the way to an Animation Lab, 3D Print Lab, Motion Capture Studio and a Digital Fabrication Lab featuring a robotic arm that will become operational this spring. The new Material Dynamics Lab reflects the College’s commitment to a broader research agenda. As the College launches a search for a new dean, we are well positioned to enter a new phase of growth and innovation. Key to this transition are an exceptionally qualified cadre of teachers and a student body notable for their energy, their work ethic, and their willingness to leap into new areas of exploration. While embracing a focus on technology-enabled design COAD remains committed to a broad intellectual foundation that prepares our graduates not only as young professionals but also as citizens ready to engage the issues of the day. Professor Glenn Goldman continues to lead the School of Art and Design, now entering its tenth year, and Professor Gernot Riether has taken the reins as Director of the New Jersey School of Architecture. Here is a glimpse of what’s been happening in the College: Enhanced our Digital Fabrication capacity by creating a dedicated Fabrication Lab to house our three CNC machines. Purchased and installed a robotic arm and hired three new faculty members with expertise in robotic applications. Built a Motion Capture Studio for use by our Digital Design students as well as colleagues across campus in Information Technology (IT). Continued our tradition of award winning students from the College of Art + Design with more than 45 students participating in national design competitions in 2016. Our AIAS chapter received accolades at the most recent national FORUM conference for the Outstanding Freedom by Design project, a DYI Emergency Handbook for preand post-disaster assistance. Our students were on the cover of CRIT, the AIAS national magazine. Five faculty members published books in 2016. Our options/infrastructure planning studio is one of 12 finalists (among several hundred submissions) in the international Schindler Global Award urban design competition. Thank you for being here to see and celebrate our incredible student and alumni work. Your support enables us to grow, improve, innovate and provide the best opportunities for our students.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF CoAD This year is our 11th Design Showcase. It is the major annual fundraising event for the College of Architecture & Design, and was initiated by Dean Urs Gauchat to strengthen the bonds between our students and our alumni. Since our founding in 1973 we have sent forth over 3500 graduates and now boast alumni across the state, the country and the globe. Many have chosen to stay within traditional design fields, while others have used their CoAD education as a springboard into a variety of related career paths including exhibition and installation design, urban planning, preservation, construction and facilities management. The College exists to open doors and to provide opportunities for our students. Our mission is to equip our students with the necessary knowledge and skills to become successful. Our students have a can-do attitude, they are willing to work hard, they are creative and they believe that they can make a difference. Beyond their professional competency, our students are caring human beings who want to have a positive impact on the world around them. As seen particularly in the activity of our student organizations, our graduates want to contribute to society both as professionals and as engaged and civically-minded individuals. Design Showcase is a major networking opportunity where our graduates meet the next generation of talent. For our industry sponsors, it is a chance to make contact with firms led by our graduates. For our alumni, the event provides an opportunity to hire future collaborators, partners or owners of their companies. Most importantly, it provides a setting for our students to interact with some of our successful graduates who can act as potential role models or mentors, as well as future employers. At a time of rapid technological advances, it is important for our graduates to be exposed to what our present students are capable of and to imagine how they can add value to your firm.

A MESSAGE FROM THE SHOWCASE CO-CHAIRS Welcome! It’s great to have you here at CoAD’s annual Gala Celebration. Thanks for joining us and the rest of the NJIT family as we celebrate design excellence of current and former College of Architecture and Design students. Under the direction of Dean Emeritus Urs Gauchat, Interim Dean Tony Schuman, and Directors Glenn Goldman and Gernot Riether, our students are taught to invent, to take risks and to immerse themselves in the design process. Their work demonstrates bold and forward thinking, while addressing complex and timely problems locally, nationally and beyond. These talented students dealing with, the world of daily reality as well as purely imaginary realms.They are encouraged to consider the implications of their work by diverse measures - ethical, social, environmental and financial. Our Gala also celebrates alumni! The skills and knowledge of CoAD’s alumni benefit society at large and have a profound impact on our region’s economic development. As demonstrated in the exhibited designs, CoAD alumni shape our environment through impactful buildings, interiors, fashion and products. Our graduates are also developing new intellectual property and serve as indispensable advisers to industry and government. Many people have labored to make this exhibit a success. Alumni volunteers have given hundreds of hours of their time; the CoAD staff have worked diligently and our sponsors have generously contributed time and funds to support the program, and to support scholarships at the school. All this time and effort is intended to enable ambitious, talented young people to develop their design skills and contribute to the community at-large. Thank you for taking part in this event. We hope that you will be inspired by the work of our alumni and students, and will benefit from strengthening your relationships with them. Enjoy the Showcase!

A NOTE OF THANKS TO THE DEAN’S EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The College of Architecture and Design would have been unable to implement many of our new initiatives without the Design Showcase and the fundraising efforts of the Dean’s Executive Council. This group of alumni conceived of the event, implemented the criteria and standards, and has helped to keep it running for a decade. It is with much gratitude that we say thank you to the founding members of the Dean’s Executive Council.

WESTERN WORLD From Schematic design to Construction administration, working on this project allowed me to see the unfolding of the open workplace design and the incorporation of the Work, Live, Play culture. The Elegance of the design takes the “WW” logo further into construction and is even visible in the angles used at boardroom glass fronts.

JASON RING – CLASS OF ‘10

KIMPTON THE GRAY Opened in 2016, Chicago’s former New York Life Building has gracefully been restored by Gensler, and given new life as The Kimpton Gray Hotel. Originally designed by William LeBaron Jenney in 1893, this extensive adaptive re-use project transformed a historic structure from a neglected office building, into a beautiful four-star hotel. New program includes 293 guest rooms and suites, 10,000 SF of meeting space, a sky lobby (with upscale bar), and an expansive rooftop venue, which includes a retractable roof that allows views to the city.

BOB RICHARDSON – CLASS OF ‘97

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Morris Habitat for Humanity builds decent, affordable housing for families and employees within Morris County. Gensler Morristown participates in multiple build days throughout the year donating our time, skill, and knowledge. As office champion, I coordinate the logistics for our office volunteers to successfully make a difference.

KEN MODROW – CLASS OF ‘08 GENSLER MORRISTOWN Having been present in NJ for 23 years, we have been embedded in the Morristown community since 2001, opposite the Green, between Washington St and Speedwell Ave. The rich history of our town’s two previous revolutions and current thriving downtown has inspired a focus on revolutionizing the way our teams work, revitalizing our collaboration-driven environment, and reenergizing our synergistic culture of design Our newly designed space communicates a sense of pride for New Jersey’s innovative legacy by bringing in elements of local history. The design aesthetic ties back to the industrial revolution, including black steel framing, concrete and brick.

JOHN FERNS – CLASS OF ‘17 ALLERGAN It is such a privilege to be given the opportunity to work on such a monumental project, like Allergan’s US HQ; especially right out of school. By emphasizing boldness, flexibility and collaboration, Allergan’s design seeks to create an empowered, unified community. The speed and scale of the work has taught me to work quickly, efficiently and collaboratively across all disciplines.

JESÚS MÁRMOLL – CLASS OF ‘08 MIKIMOTO Our objective for the Mikimoto project was to implement the client’s rebranded design into a their 5th Ave, NYC flagship store. The project consisted of a complete interior renovation including new floor, wall and ceiling finishes, new jewelry display millwork and the introduction of Mikimoto’s rebranded signage and design elements. Our role was to be the design advisor for the client and to coordinate, facilitate and implement all processes of the design matrix from schematic design to design realization to construction administration.

an extensive ground plane is manipulated to encourage the occupation of all areas of the site

this proposal for the redevelopment of the kip island exhibition center provides a holistic approach to expanding upon the programmatic capabilities of the existing centre. recognizing that the current complex does little to engage visitors from any approach, activation of the site as a whole became a driving factor for the design. the complex is re-worked to become one homogeneous entity that maintains the existing program capabilities while also providing additional exhibition and semi-public spaces. the transformation from a loosely bound collection of buildings into a singular system is made possible by enveloping the current halls in a new mass, which is then manipulated to provide exterior gathering spaces, multi-height spaces, and most significantly a variety of access points. to engage both visitors and the general public alike, this proposal introduces an observation tower centralized within the complex. this iconic gesture provides views of the Riga skyline and complements the spires and belltowers just across the river. this redevelopment scheme re-activates the site as a whole to maximize the exhibition center’s potential to become an even greater amenity to the local community.

THE PROJECT: Mott MacDonald was retained to provide conceptual design for a new animal shelter in one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world. The design process included a program needs assessment, building space program and a demographic and zoning analysis of the city.

THE DESIGN: This scheme represents the most beneficial out of the numerous planning options that were considered. The selected site would allow for accessibility to the building on both the North and South ends. This allowed for the utilization of the Southern Access to the site for the full service Veterinary Clinic. In turn, the Northern Access to the site would be utilized in for the Animal Intake, Adoption, and Support Staff. The Exterior of the building is composed of two elements. The main element is a Glass Volume that is open and contains the Animal Intakes and Adoption services. This element allows an interactive element that draws in potential Adopters. The Solid Volume is more rigid in nature yet contains the whimsical window placement and the use of a common accent color that is present throughout the buildings design and contains the Support Staff offices. The interior design of the Adoption Center is open and uses stamped concrete floors stained to emulate wood floors for durability. The ceilings are floating acoustical ceiling panels to minimize sound of the excited new animals. This design is not only favorable to the shelter, but also to the surrounding communities.   

As you leave the shelter with your new pet an interactive adoption board lets the new pet owners see where all the newly adopted pets in the city are located, giving a feeling of unity to the new pet owners, knowing that they helped change the life of a deserving animal.

Urbahn’s design for the New School of Business provides FSC with the most advanced classroom spaces on campus. The conceptual design effort included thorough programming and site selection efforts, as well as explorations into alternative building concepts. After working with stakeholders to establish the preferred concept. Second Floor

The design reflects campus preferences in pedagogy, campus planning, maintenance, and operations, as well as the college’s investment in student/faculty interaction. We wove social spaces throughout the building, including a lively atrium entrance that also serves as a reception area for local industry events. Adjoining the ceremonial stair, we designed tiered seating that functions as an interior amphitheater. We located faculty offices opposite the classrooms and provided each floor with active and contemplative lounges. The classrooms themselves were designed to facilitate interaction. We worked closely with the campus to take full advantage of the site, replacing a demolished building to return coherency to the main quadrangle, as well as provide a portal to the academic campus from the residential buildings. We selected a materials palette to harmonize with the campus language of brick, concrete, and slate. The building was designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification.

The design creates a new “Engineering Plaza” defined by the existing Resnick Hall and the new building. The form and contemporary design of the building were driven by programmatic, pragmatic, and aesthetic considerations. Because the first floor program is greater than the second floor we were able to design second floor roof terraces on the eastern side. By setting back the main entrance with an overhang the design avoids the otherwise costly relocation of site utilities. Fenestration and façade treatment was largely determined by both functional considerations (interior space use), solar orientation, and compositional principles. The exterior materials palette combines traditional materials, such as brick and slate, with modern materials such as zinc and metal shading devices.

An art gallery dedicated to the works of the French artist Sophie Calle. Sophie used photography as a medium to express her art. She often followed random pedestrians on the streets of Paris and photographed their daily Activities while in disguise. Sophie disguised herself in wigs, scarfs and sunglasses so she wouldn't reveal her identity. Some of her most notable works was when she followed a man that she’s met from Paris to Venice. There is a sense of mystery to Sophie’s

D E S I G N

art. What was most intriguing, is her ability to turn random individuals into an art story. She’s constantly watching people looking for her next big art project. In an attempt to capture a true essence of Sophie Calle, I Conceptualized her process into a simple building par-ti. Each floor plan contains 4 square punctures that would allow for 4 double height spaces on the floor below. The punctures shift on each floor to allow for different viewing experiences between the different gallery floors. Parallel

Food arrives at Oasis and is brought to the top of the tower. Food is unloaded from the module and sortation occurs by automated machines. Packaging and reloading of the completed food packages are handled by Amazon employees. Once modules are successfully loaded, they are detached and ready for distribution.

Existing on site are an Amazon Fulfillment, Sortation and Fresh Centers. Thousands of orders are processed and completed every day. Oasis modules are stored and maintained alongside existing delivery methods: cars, vans, and trucks.

Potential customers are invited to Amazon Oasis through existing transportation routes. Trains travel back and forth from the street to the site. People can arrive by train and by foot.

The successfully filled refrigerated module flees fromthe Oasis Center towards pre-determined local food deserts. Modules gather in clusters out in the field, resembling a the bur seeds.

Amazonville is the result of a semesester-long investigation into the architecture and operations of Amazon.com. Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logistical operations have grown to include product, development, media production, cloud computing, automated fulfillment services, drone delivery, and space exploration. However, even as the company expands its operations, it continues to depend on publicly funded infrastructure. This raises opportunities to think about how logistics might itself become

D E S I G N

a form of collective investment and of public engagement. As Amazon pursues its efforts to respond ever more quickly to consumer demand, supply chains and infrastructure become intertwined. At the same time, emerging forms of settlement patterns are challenging some of the historically stable notions of urbanity. Students were asked to identify an aspect of Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations and intensify, redirect, or otherwise entangle in or order to explore forms, spaces, and publics that might emerge.

S H O W C A S E

This project explores Amazon Fresh, a food distribution subsidiary where fresh food is delivered directly to consumers. Amazon Oasis strives to attack the worldwide problem of food deserts by disrupting the existing food distribution process. Oasis collects surplus and unwanted food and reinserts them into the distribution process. Oasis also provides a waste collection system for composted produce to be delivered back to the facility for plant life. This creates a continuous cycle for Amazon Oasis to fulfill.

Responding to a disaster is almost never a swift or simple process. This projects intent was to provide a systematic solution to disaster recovery. The MERC system is meant to be implementable wherever a disaster strikes. A modular system that can be designed to accommodate the needs of its locality while providing a uniform and rapid construction and assembly system. A system that can accommodate all types of programs and community size. This particular example

D E S I G N

accommodates a fire station, police station, library, town hall and, a beach patrol and life guard station. Breaking down the modular box type system into vertical structure, horizontal decks, and enclosure systems. All of which are set up on a modular system that can be constructed off site and assembled with the agile ability to expand not only horizontally but also vertically. They MERC system is intended to give vulnerable communities a solution to living where they want to live safely and sustainability.

Cutting Edge is a 50 unit live-work mat structure where two unit types are employed across a siteless one-acre landscape. The live-work units are transformed, multiplied, and arranged in a horizontal disposition, focusing on horizontal circulation and the structure’s relationship with the ground and sky, or vertical tension. Each live-work unit is 600 sq. ft. and is carved from a box and

a heptahedron where the remaining voids not only serve as lightwells for the unit, but also divide the program on the interior without the use of any partition walls. The work is decoupled from the live and is nestled below the topography directly underneath its respective unit. Some of the structure from above is extended down, and is used as a bounding box for the work units. The project explores relationships between form and space, solid and void, and enclosure and aperture.

Tell it as you see it, some say. Judge or critique things that we think we understand but we do not see beyond the exterior. This household is different simply because it is a house that holds homes together to work as one. Like in past history, the individual home will suit and accord with the identity of its inhabitant. In some new homes for America this household takes it to another level where each home will not only suit its inhabitant but also share its identity within the household. If

only interior walls can talk as they rotate vertically inside this household. They would talk about the gossip that gets thrown around the living room by the conventional mother with her friends. About the comments made by outsiders critiquing young art displayed in the gallery. Or the walls could whistle the music played in the performance room, or describe the majestic dance moves in the other. The walls could even describe the smell within the kitchen and dining room that all inhabitants share. This

common space helps the inhabitants share their identities and this space spreads vertically within the household punching through the roof. The vertical spread enables communication between all of these four homes connecting all three levels. All of these homes are under the same style of roof as other homes have. It has been said that four walls and a roof do not make a home. Is it possible, however, that four homes under one roof might make a new household?

Siena is a city that has always struggled with water. Not having any natural water supply required the Sienese to find creative ways to artificially collect water and rigorously control what little they had. With the global supply of water becoming increasingly scarce, Siena’s history of water control practices could come to their aid if they reconsider how they value this natural resource. Situating ourselves as a corporation seeking to gain control of Siena’s water supply we considered a sce-

D E S I G N

nario in which Siena would become water again. Each site along the medieval wall begins as a public benefit with a component of water infrastructure nestled within it and later grows more utilitarian until the public is excluded and these spaces are entirely dedicated to water. The city becomes a dystopian society that is entirely beholden to its water supply and the corporation which controls it. With control over the water the corporation will become more powerful than the government or banks due to the

S H O W C A S E

importance of water. The goal is not only to stress the importance of water as a dwindling resource, but also consider the ways in which resources that are undervalued presently can be taken advantage of if the citizens do not take responsibility of their resources.

This project is a proposal to renovate and expand upon an existing building in Newark to create a new typology within the city. The combination of micro units and communal workspaces creates a new dynamic within the building that creates connections between the occupants. One which would create a collaborative and cohesive community within the building. Part of the design constraints were to keep the original building as intact as possible while retrofitting it for the new program. With the idea

S H O W C A S E

behind the addition being a focus on rotating the buildings shape to create two clear programmatic L shapes, each with their own unique unit, and center them on a communal workspace to create a focal point for all interactions between occupants.

It is a container of life and a disruptor of nature. The lean city reaches points near and far within the landscape. The sense of freedom is caused by the open land it runs through. As one uncovers the machine the passing landscapes change with great distinction. The machine is a scheme to organize life, work and consumption into one systematic plan. Appreciation for the natural is certain to result in the line distribution of population because of the almost unbelievable economy in construction, in operation and in time. The market: The real jewel of the whole city is its market of enormous

size. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beating heart of this newly planned linearity, new additive layers. It is capable of many transformations. It does so mechanically with the hours of the day. The arches choreograph open and covered spaces that lead to yet another layer above. Like connective tendons, unified the separate masses into a continuous landscape above the market. With another level the houses appear. Dancing above the market like ripples on lakes The houses reach from one story to three stories high. Trading off roofs for public spaces with the dwellings above. The bottom dwellers, while thin and one story, are open toward the

S H O W C A S E

landscape with generous connections to the market. The top dwellers are open toward the sky with vast views on the landscape and minimal glimpses of the market below. A dance hall forms in a space less populated with columns, while games breakout in the areas found denser with arcades and vaulted space above. With the characteristics listed the container of life continues on, striding across the landscape. Its makeup of arches, vaults, columns, and pitched roofs, define similar and different scenarios all throughout its linear path.

A N D

The goal of this project was to design a pool complex, including a particular enclosure. The Mostoller Studio focused on this encloser more than anything else. The project was located in a park in New York, with city on one side and water on the other. This was the ﬁrst time that the class was tasked to imagine a structural system for the project under design. In this project, the idea of a “park,” and outdoor environment became very important. Every element of this project, Spring

D E S I G N

Water, was inspired by nature one way or another, attempting to create a constructed environment eﬀect upon approach and a simulated canopy within. While clearly not part of the surrounding environment itself, this project still seems to rise from natural orgins. The green roof comes out of the surrounding ﬁeld at very distict angles, immediately setting it apart from the ground. Supporting these beams are tree-like columns that reach out supporting not only the beams but also the canopy-like fans. Fanning out

S H O W C A S E

at diﬀerent angles oﬀ of the beams, these fans allows for certain beams of light to enter the pool complex, providing patterns that remind one of shadows that comes from leaves. Overall, it aims to create a feeling of swimming in a spring pool found on a hike. Traveling from a busy city, it aims to provide an oasis from everyday life while reminding everyone that they are still in a built environment, something that is more comfortable for many. It also does not try to replicate something that others value so dearly.

Writer ’s Mission Stack Studio Architecture | 5th Year | Simon McGowan & Darius Sollohub

A N D

The Writer's Mission is home to a new writing initiative in the city that uses Audible.com’s corporate presence and global platform to share Newark’s stories. By co-branding with the local GoodWill rescue mission shelter and thrift store Audible has an opportunity to engage the city in an intimate way. The project integrates the existing mission and store with space for a proposed audible writing program. The mission focuses on an essential function of social investment: establishing a

D E S I G N

cooperative relationship between private corporations and cities. In order to achieve this co-operation, the mission seeks to act as an engine for content; a place for writers to come to collaborate and create new media for Audible. It also creates an environment where people can share and exchange to spark collaboration between different populations, while forefronting the community in the process to create a genuine connection between the company and the city.

The project is about creating a collaborative kitchen in and for Harrison where food and its production is constructed as the “public” in the project. The project aims to push idea of sharing economy into a collaborative work environment where work and benefits are distributed. The project is inclusive of Harrison's multi-cultural communities and take them as departing point to collaborate around cooking, hospitality and farming in a social environment.The image strategy of the design is to have a build-

S H O W C A S E

ing that is not idiosyncratically private institution, and It gives a public performance both to the user and the passerby. The program strategy is taken beyond the kitchen and into the broader public realm for example to host food festivals and trucks.The extroverted space strategy is to allow the transparency of the meal production from planting to cooking until it's coming alive to the table.

The program of the project is the proposition of the live-work condition in housing. This added to the reuse of an existing building. As part of the design requirement was to keep part of the existing facade, and retrofit the structure to the demand of the new addition. The concept for the new addition was to create a sense or a city landscape by creating four independent by yet connected bard that respond to different programmatic configurations.

The Chihuly Glassworks facility attempts to meet the demands of both Chihuly and the city of Venice over a long period of time. Currently, Venice exists in multiple forms when views through various perspectives. It is a city of multiple cities. The physical layers of the city are isolated and distinct, and the dramatically different parties that experience them at different speeds tend to favor certain aspects of the city over others. These different parties are beginning to separate from one

D E S I G N

another in the city like oil and water, each retreating to areas that suit them best. The layers that make up venice are being delegated to different lifestyles that are quickly growing apart. Venice as a whole is becoming fractured as the physical layers of the city begin to separate following the cultural shifts. The design attempts to remedy this trend by hybridizing the various public entities of Venice with a vertical art creation and display space that changes program over time, shifting from the one Chihuly to the

S H O W C A S E

many traditional craftspeople of Venice. The project is conceived in such a way that any individual could enter the site and have a different experience based on duration. Instead of isolating certain parties the design accommodates all, creating a gradient of spatial experiences ranging from high levels of energy, dense dark and heavy, to lower levels of energy, light slow and intimate.

A HOUSE IN TOWN SOME NEW HOMES FOR AMERICA B. Architecture | Year Five | Keith Krumwiede

A N D

A house in town as a fantastical case for familiarity in the structure of the nine-square-grid. A Mansion of presidential style in formal opulent tone. Characterized by stateliness and dignified complexity. Think of dwellings as people: If a group of people wanted to get to know each other, they would not line up facing each other in two straight, rigid rows, too far apart to really see anyone else clearly. The lives of the nine square, spiraling around the rotunda, are close enough for clarity; affording the opportunity of the unexpected glimpse of one another.

D E S I G N

In the dwelling they decide to live in closer proximity after being unhappy on their own. And that is just what they did. They carved out space for each other. In the corners on the sides or in the middle. The lonely diner eats alone. He scuttles back and forth between kitchen and table; tending to his plants and making his bed. He never interacts with anybody. If he does so it is by accident. Only the visual disturbance of the club below distracts him from his world. Two people: a husband and wife. He is up and about. She is on the couch. The two dress with great effort in hopes for the others across the way to

S H O W C A S E

catch a glimpse. A man is affectionately characterized as the abductor by his neighbors for his apparent variety of guests he has each night. He works quietly only to be seen moving from the bar upstairs to his promenade downstairs Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kind of love that grows out of these visual connections. Is it romantic love? It is not romantic love, not family love, but something about our common humanity. I wish everyone could experience this noise of the world, this uneasiness in relationships. Uneasiness in building.

HIGHLINE TOWER CITY BLOCK BUILDING ON THE HIGHLINE ARCHITECTURE | 5TH YEAR| TIM WOOD

A N D

Designing a city block building on the Highline is both a unique opportunity for a designer and a challenging one. The access to millions of coming and going tourists in NYC that visit the Highline each year creates an opportuinty for unmatched public interaction on the site. Couple that with some of the best views across the Hudson River and to Midtown / Hudson Yards and Downtown / World Trade Center, this project combines both luxury living and modern public engagment

D E S I G N

that is found throughout Chelsea and NYC itself. By bringing the public from 10th Avenue through the building toward the West Side Highway and the Hudson River Park, the user will experience a number of shops, art galleries and public space to enjoy. While on the Highline level the visual connection toward the water will lure people and program to inhabit the rentable community space on the 2nd and 3rd floor to serve the public. The design of the towers can be attributed to the design of Frank

The main goal for our design was to explore how four generation could coexist harmoniously together. A modern approach to traditional Chinese dwelllings, the house has a central double-height space that acts as a meeting place for the inhabitants. Nooks and openings within the central space frame various special moments within the house. They symbolize the playfulness, structure, and flexibility of a dwelling for four generations.

D E S I G N

The Solar Decathlon was a studio project that integrated interdisciplinary cooperation between architecture, industrial, and interior design students. The board showcases both the exterior and interior explorations of the D.O.T.T.I.E’s elevations. The exterior elevation focuses on the whimsicality of traditional shingle style by the exploration of asymmetry, scale and form. The roof is composed by a series of angles resembling “M” forms which makes the upper level flexible enough to respond to program and

S H O W C A S E

to reach a level of homogeneity across all facades.The interior illustrations were part of a series of conceptual representative explorations for D.O.T.T.I.E. Incoporating soft textures and domestic entourage from David Hockney’s paintings, the illustrations expresses whimsicality through representative emotion. The unwrapped interior elevation of the central space emphasizes the irregular regularity of the frames on the wall, which serve as literal portraits for special moments that occur around the space.

This project explores how splines can control the movement of triangle systems. The splines are represented in the six arches converging and diverging on different ends, while the triangles are represented in the steel-framed coffers that make up the arches. The six arches are carefully calibrated to not only span the Olympic-sized swimming pool but also create gaps which function as entrances and apertures. To create more room for eateries, bleachers, and locker rooms, the arches are sunken

D E S I G N

into the ground at different levels, adding another dimension to the converging/diverging effect. Each of the arches are comprised of foot-thick coffers that are supported by a continuous steel frame, giving the structure a space-frame-like effect. Skylights illuminating the Olympic-sized pool are created by removing the south side of a particular set of these coffers. As for the site plan, much of the original park remains on the west side of the site in addition to some food stalls and tables (has more shade), while the

S H O W C A S E

east side of the site contains office space, bathrooms, food stalls, tables, a recreational pool, a kiddie pool, with lounging areas for each. Main entrances were placed on the east and west side of the site to accommodate foot traffic from the subway stops on either end.

The project is a glasswork for Chihuly in a roughly four acre site in Venice. The site is adjacent to a path coming to the airport and connecting to the grand canal with a marina on the existing site. The inspiration of this project was drawn from the two different ways in which we experience a space, one through the consumption of imageries (Such as google images. videos) and one by visiting the place in person. Through the use of digital screen as a threshold between imagery and real time, it will be interesting to see how the product and catalyst of the electronic age can potentially erode the existing Venetian fabric,or adapt to the vernacular condition and become a new type of screen typology. Formally, screen is incredibly light despite the highly dense information flow, thus adding another layer of contradiction in comparison to the physical heaviness of Venice.

ELEVATED HOTEL The elevated hotel allows for circulation to weave through the site from the opposite side of Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal. The covered plaza under the porous building creates market opportunities for tourists and locals to interact. The elevated hotel features balconies that overlook the Armature and roadway, and serves as an iconic attraction for the site, distinctly visible above the overpass.

BIKE HUB + PARK A large bike parking structure with sloped occupiable rooftops supports the increase in bike traffic along the Armature. Connection is available to bus transit for longer distance travels.

CORREIOS (POST OFFICE)

URBAN ABSORBER The Absorber typology temporarily provides retail and parking space, offsetting the businesses that are displaced by the removal of the CEAGESP market and absorbing the functions of buildings being renovated and moved. They are designed to flexibly accommodate changes in site use and to adapt gradually to the anticipated decline of vehicles, shifting from car sheds to multifunctional public spaces.

BMW (CAR DEALER)

NESTED INCUBATOR By introducing new housing, this lot is transformed from retail only to a hybrid catalyst that keeps the essence of the location. Incubator spaces for startup companies are nested in the courtyards to create different levels of workspaces that range from individual office modules to small production warehouses.

CULTURAL CENTER The design centers around the ground level art square, a large space which opens up to the armature and the public. The space serves as a “public intermediate” between the building and the city, and also connects the museum above with the film theaters below. There are many elements that resonate with the deep roots Brazilian culture as the lobby acts as the central area, where there is always something to do and something to experience.

URBAN JUNGLE

URBAN PAVILION

Located between Armatures, this mixed-use space combines recreation and retail with mid-rise residential. Retail on the ground with services lifted encourages passage through the open public space beneath, inviting a variety of uses.

FIAT (CAR DEALER)

Along Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal, collaborative working offices for the incoming USP students and entrepreneurs are instituted, along with the O-Court retail shops and pavilions. The Armature runs adjacent to the lot, supplying an increase in density. Developers invest in the vacant land and provide a public square amenity; after investing in a dense area the developers then supply the Armature with a public park for the community.

EDUCATIONAL PAVILION TRANSIT RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX

An educational and recreational hub for the neighbourhood’s students, ranging from primary school kids to university students. The complex, with its meandering path, encourages activity and interaction while generating a place for gathering. Different scales of interventions provide amenities for both residents on site as well as the surrounding community.

A hybrid of residential, worker space, and retail is integrated with the Armature and a vegetated landscape adjacent to the building. Retail and worker space are initially developed to create incentive for economic growth and future residential expansion near the CEASA Vila Leopoldina train station.

FEIRA LEOPOLDINA WAREHOUSE GYM An existing warehouse employs a skinning strategy where it is stripped down to its framework, capable of providing lighting, sound, temporary cover, and other functions. An outdoor field occupies the space, creating a public athletic complex supported by the framework’s infrastructural capacities and supplied by the Armature’s pedestrian population.

WALMART (HYPERMARKET)

This framework appropriates Elemental Housing. A frame is constructed, and then half of the spaces are used for living, while residents configure the remaining half for other uses. Next to the hydroponic farm is a community farm that serves the residents and also functions as a gathering space.

Anticipate varying density scenarios and encourage hybrid programming. Armature runs through selected points which reflects upon context and adds new program to accommodate a projected density influx, in turn creating a new atmospheres within the site after the market’s removal.

Promote mixed-use and hybrid typologies to generate resilient urban activity by renovating existing structures and transforming them for public use. Facilitate new modes of work, live, and play through diverse, interdependent exchange and interaction with emerging structures that operate at an urban scale.

Connect to existing transit networks, including Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal, CPTM L09, Estação Imperatriz Leopoldina, enable newly emerging forms of mobility, such as bike sharing, and establish efficient transportation hubs linked to the Armature. Shuttle networks mobilize resources and large groups of people across the site while bike lanes and pedestrian walkways allow for interaction at the urban scale.

Increase accessibility from Vila Leopoldina by activating street edge program. Provide access from Jaguare through MLP extension and water treatment facilities. Recuperate river edge as a functioning ecological landscape.

A N D

The departure of the CEAGESP market is treated as an opportunity to critically examine its assets and their impact, influence, and relationship with the site. The revitalization of the site begins by identifying existing resources, distinctive activities and convergences of energy. A framework of linked strategies induces growth and development during and after the market’s transition, and envisions a more dynamic site capable of openly involving its users as active participants in the production of the city. Operating through established socio-political mechanisms and at the

D E S I G N

infrastructural, architectural, and tactical scale, Armature Urbanism generates an interdependent system of physical, social, and cultural resources. An incrementally evolving infrastructural element, referred to as the Armature, becomes the driver of this new form of urbanism. The Armature is introduced as a conceptual tool, emerging through the connection of vacant lots and decaying properties selected for redevelopment and renovation to stitch together the remaining communities, activities, and assets on the site. At the infrastructural scale, the Armature provides utilities and services throughout the site,

S H O W C A S E

ensuring access to all emerging forms of urbanity. At the architectural scale, the Armature incentivizes growth and development of new hybrid programs while strengthening existing activities, and at the tactical scale operates as a framework for development of non-permanent human scaled interventions. The physical outcome of an Armature-based Urbanism is one with ramifications of resiliency for the site, fostering opportunity for growth, involvement, innovation, and cultural exchange through a hybridity of networks and spaces that enables flexibility and adaptability for the unpredictable nature of the city.

The elevated hotel allows for circulation to weave through the site from the opposite side of Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal. The covered plaza under the porous building creates market opportunities for tourists and locals to interact. The elevated hotel features balconies that overlook the Armature and roadway, and serves as an iconic attraction for the site, distinctly visible above the overpass.

Along Av. Dr. Gastão Vidigal, collaborative working offices for the incoming USP students and entrepreneurs are instituted, along with the O-Court retail shops and pavilions. The Armature runs adjacent to the lot, supplying an increase in density. Developers invest in the vacant land and provide a public square Umbrella Dates Pavillion amenity; after investing in a dense area the developers then supply the Armature with a public park for the community.

RECLAIM UNDERUTILIZED LOTS

Redevelopment of the site begins with acquisition of existing vacant lots, which become drivers of all successive site strategies. This initial step targets inactive spaces and proposes new functions and program in order for this fragment of the city to attain greater potential through reintegration of an Armature-based urban fabric. Phases are used to indicate the sequence of development not driven by a strict timelime or fixed-end product.

N J I T

RENOVATE EXISTING RESOURCES

Certain structures embedded with local knowledge and tradition are integral to the fundamental steps of site redevelopment and are targeted for upgrades. The concrete plant at the south end of the site is a key resource and will be tapped to contribute its materials to the large scale development of upcoming phases.

ESTABLISH ARMATURE NODES

With vacancies repurposed, older structures demolished or renovated, and Absorbers constructed, the Armatures begin to emerge. These bundled systems of infrastructure will provide connectivity between site components and resources, and support a hybrid urbanism. During the early stages of construction, two nodes of the Armature develop at the north and south ends of the site, linking to the Absorbers.

ACTIVATE GROWTH

DEPLOY MULTI-SCALE ELEMENTS

The next phase extends the Armatures toward the core of the site, stitching together renovated structures along the Armature’s route. Buildings are “reskinned” or combined, fusing them with site infrastructure and creating a series of interconnected public spaces throughout the network.

The Armature network progresses with the extension of the MLP building over the river, allowing residents of nearby Jaguare more convenient access to the site’s expanding resources, while residents within the site’s favelas are relocated to newly built housing in a participatory process. The Armature along the river, coupled with new purification basins within the existing waterway, becomes a crucial element in the preservation and restoration of the riparian landscape.

The final phase of redevelopment introduces large scale hybrid facilities including new housing, schools, civic center extensions, and mixed-use commercial spaces, as well as tactical scale interventions and infrastructural support. The construction and completion of these elements is facilitated by the Armature’s established physical and social infrastructure. Upon culmination of this phase, full site mobility and utilization is expected.

BOOM! ECONOMIC UPSURGE

FROM INSIDE OUT

REGENERATION

CRISIS! POTENTIAL DOWNTURN

Local businesses build strength and housing expands. The Armature, once filled with open space and site transit, is filled with active shops and offices as resident living quarters take up the surrounding spaces. The site welcomes the return of urban contributors and the rise of socioeconomic prosperity.

From economic driver to residential provider, the Armature makes a shift in function and program just before an economic recession. The structure and resources built into this urban anchor allows for the restructuring of communities within the site. The depletion of site visitors and the major decline in business activity leaves residents with very little. The infrastructure and connectivity of the Armature pulls locals together and breeds new housing typologies along with local businesses.

The natural flux in local and global economy coupled with any number of sociopolitical frictions puts Armature Urbanism to the test as unemployment rates rise and site tourism evaporates. Small clust ers of work and living spaces maintain some of their integrity but as the environment deteriorates, conditions become unstable.

The Urban Armature provides types of public space for users and acts as a conduit for site transit. Visitors utilize the three levels of Armature and foster growth of the local economy through their interactions with program.Clustered living spaces spread throughout the site make it possible for inhabitants to interact on a regular basis. Population density is high with multiple areas of intensity in and around the Armature with live and work blending together in a hybridized urban environment.

N J I T

The Armature proves itself as an economic driver as the site experiences a greater number of visitors therefore accumulating higher income. This rise in economic wellbeing creates a larger workforce and work areas intensitfy in density and productivity. Inhabitants maintain their locations on site and also experience a rise in population.

C O L L E G E

O F

The intensity of program is lost as densities and functions saturate the site. The armature is still defined by its high level of visitor activity and new dynamics are produced as hybrids blend even further. Population density is well beyond that of São Paulo but the area still functions smoothly due to the flexibility of program and expandability of structures.

In the near future with artificial intelligence taking over most of the jobs, the only field where the human dominance is established is where the human mind is creative - in creating a space for game designing where there will be a seamless integration of physical and virtual worlds which will result in a digitally enhanced environment. The project is performative in terms of the different events happening as a continuous evolution of phenomena unfolding in time. The layer of a virtual world built over physical environments would provide changing modalities of consciousness - perception, imagination and thinking. It is a virtual version of the world we live in or a version that only augments certain aspects of that world.

In a world of dramatic emphasis for ease of access to data, and the “cloud”, digital life is taking our analog life. The time has come for people to update themselves on the social media and there is a huge storm being caused by the “cloud”/ people like to believe. Each person in the digital world is entitled to a certain gB of data, which in turn occupies space in the physical world. This kept in mind, the town of Harrison in New Jersey is a part of the new era of digitalisation. The program for this

D E S I G N

design was creating a scenario where the people of Harrison could be self-occupied as they work towards building the city digitally. There is a proposal also for a learning center which helps in not restricting the growth of a digital city. The vision is to start as a small city, and furthermore expand to helping other cities of the ‘future’. The project brings about the culmination of the city as one, and the town hall is accessible digitally. The future is here.

This project, part of Public(s) Assemblies of Work, explores the cultural phenomenon of coworking and its effects on life, health, and the human body. While many coworking facilties are built around collaboration, this coworking experience revolves around the human body and mind. The recent boom in sales of immunity supplements, along with threats of millions losing healthcare, has led to a public obsession with health and wellness. However, this obsession comes not from

INTERIOR SECTION

D E S I G N

a place of improving one's self, but a fear of getting sick. Illness and rest do not have a place in the sharing economy, which values nonstop work and economic productivity. Co/workout explores a scenario in which coworkers are able to constantly monitor and improve every aspect of their health. Users can choose to work at a hot desk, private office cube, or meeting space. Napping pods, meditation chambers, aerobic studios, and a fitness center nourish the mind, body, and soul.

INTERIOR SECTION

S H O W C A S E

On-site doctors and health experts included with membership are available for consultation and evaluation, meaning that one can continue to work even while sick. Four cubic cores, each offset 3' in height, house primary program and are connected by a series of ramps and stairs, which keep users moving through the spaces in a sequential manner. This spiraling circulation is also an architectural metaphor of the "in-the-cloud" sharing economy, in which one is always moving while never going anywhere.

Problem: This project s objective was to design an arts compund for an artist residency compound in Texas Canyon, Arizona. The program consisted of residences, workshops for various art techniques, living spaces such as kitchen, cafeteria, social spaces, library, business areas such as offices, meeting and conference rooms and an exhibition space for the artist to show their work off. Being that the site is in a secluded area about 30 miles east of Tucson, the

D E S I G N

comprehensive design should incorporate uses of the renewable energies available in the desert climate. Solution: Beginning by studying artwork by Richard Long, I incorporated a free-flowing linear design of elements. I introduced the elements, the program, to a lake on the site. The elements hug the natural curves of the lake and take advantage of some of the renewable energies that the water provides. The

This project was an exploration of our abilities to evoke emotions through images of an inanimate object and its environment. The object that I chose was a wine glass. I chose a wine glass because of its simple yet elegant shape and the strong emotions that are usually associated with it. The setting is a very dark and warm dining room, consisting of a table and two portraits on the wall.

D E S I G N

The image on the left, titled Anticipation, represents the feeling of suspense. I demonstrated this by placing the glass on the table, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teetering over the edge, about to fall off. The reflection in the glass also gives the viewer a glimpse of the room and the floor, showing the inevitable fate of the glass. If one is to look closely they will also notice the portraits that depict a happy couple in the reflection of the glass. The detail offers a deeper meaning and emotional connection to the fate of the glass.

S H O W C A S E

The image on the right, titled Confusion, depicts the glass as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s falling towards the ground. The angle of the shot serves to play with the viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of the environment. They might see the bottom of the table, others might see it as the top; the placement of the table is ambiguous. The story taking place inside the reflection has also progressed, depicting the couple now arguing. These details help to promote the overall emotional response.

My high school jersey number 8, which I had over the four years. The game ball I received from the championship game I pitched in at our home field. Lastly, the bow my entire team wore to every game during

For my third Studio project, I was asked to create a personalized deskspace in a traditional Vanitas style. This assignment gave me the opportunity to define myself by modeling and staging the objects that are most important to me as an individual. A large part of who I am is an artist. I have gone through countless sketchbooks and pencils. I wanted to show this by having the most prominent part of my Vanitas be my sketchbook. (Or at least my current sketchbook at the time

D E S I G N

I made this 3D render) The pencils that are in the scene come from different companies and vary in size due to use, an accurate detail. My blending tissue has clearly been used and so has my nubby erasor. There are some unfinished sketches on the table and crumpled up pieces of paper in the background. These are a bit of an exaggeration. The pages in my sketchbook are turned to my sketches of Batman and The Joker; this shows my love for comics and my identity as a geek. I also consider myself a bit of a

S H O W C A S E

dandy, preferring dress shirts and ties to graphic tees. I included my bow tie to act as a bookmark, and I placed my first flat cap on the desk. A smaller detail I added is a leather bracelet my dad got me last year. While it may seem like a trinket, it means a lot to me.

“Phage” was a final project in the Fall 2016 History of Games course ran by Taro Narahara. The original concept of the work was inspired by the T2 Enteriophage virus, famous for it’s large ‘head’, thin cylindrical body, and spider like legs that act as a latching mechanism for the virus to pump DNA into it’s victim, the DNA being housed in the large head.Conceptually, the Design that I wanted to create was one based off this core inspiration, as well as fulfill the goals of being a ‘creature that

is also an environment’, as well as being ‘Something that lives yet doesn’t’. The idea of a ‘creature that is also an environment’, comes from the goal that, whereas the virus has DNA stored in it’s head, it’s theoretical “life material”, I wished to put a civilization inside there, and simulated it with a highrise city. In the case of “something that lives yet doesn’t”, I paid heed to the common notion that viruses aren’t considered fully-living creatures, yet in ways, they act like them. To equal this concept of unliving, I

S H O W C A S E

chose to make the ‘Phage’ be machine-like in nature, but, when it was actually animated, to have a spider-like walking like motion (something the entiriophage lacks). For the modeling process, I used Rhino 5 and stuck to what was typically very hard-surfaced, forms like rectangular prisms, and pyramids, with the interjection of other smooth forms, like spheres, along with other extruded curves. Lastly, to help strengthen the ‘alien’ vibe of the design, I chose to make a martian desert-like scene in Unreal Engine 4.

The Artist is a personal exploration of myself presented in a traditional Vanitas style. My image communicates my love of art and how it has led me to pursue a future in design. For this project, the items I chose were all associated with traditional, acrylic painting. As a young girl I would be constantly drawing and doodling and eventually I began to paint using acrylics. It is because I started painting that I became interested in animation as well as digital design as a career. When I applied

D E S I G N

to NJIT, my portfolio consisted mainly of paintings. Painting is a passion for me, I continue to paint whenever I have free time. The teapot in this composition is a Pixar Renderman Walking Teapot that I received while attending the SIGGRAPH convention in Los Angeles, California. I especially love Pixar and the work they produce is a constant inspiration for me. The Artist was done first as a still image modeled in 3Ds Max and Mudbox with custom textures rendered using V-Ray. The

S H O W C A S E

final image was rendered with several passes that were used in Photoshop for the final composition. The Artist was then moved in Cinema 4D where it was animated. The final animation was composited in Adobe After Effects.

In collaboration with Industrial Design student Nahin Shah and Interior Design student Cathrine Fahmy, we designed a experience in which a person can walk on different terrains only with their bare feet. The reasoning behind this is that we wanted to draw attention to the different textures and surfaces people walk on everyday without noticing. We then started thinking of a way we could recreate these different terrains that people would not normally be able to walk on without shoes

D E S I G N

and present them as an exhibition. As the Digital Designer, I was in charge of devising a visual system and expectation for the experience in order to relate physical objects from the real world into digital environments. I created 9 different environments; subway carts, botanical gardens, deserts, snowy mountains, hiking trails, marketplaces, playgrounds, rain forests, and farms. I wanted to create a style that was not replicas of exact

S H O W C A S E

locations, but rather combine visual characteristics and cues that make up a specific environment. The result was a minimalist and low-poly design. The designs featured are the hiking trail and desert respectively.

These images represent a personal commitment to creative growth and design experimentation. Each of these images are from a series of daily projects that I commited myself to creating. Each of these images were created within Cinema4D and explore lights, shapes, colors, dynamic effects, and procedural creation. The image in the top left, Summon, illustrates a female figure being pulled into a large white monolith, inspired loosely by 2001: A Space Odyssey. To the

right is Fall, in which I studied motion, and using a motion captured animation, created a trail of frames from the animation. The first image on the next row is called _interrupt, and features a skull with a multicolored liquid bursting from within. The liquid is colored with the colors of the SMPTE color bars used in television sets and the image is then further distorted through a number of glitch effects. The next two, Pieta and Rain, respectively, were studies with dynamic particles systems, and light painting. On the

“Isaac” was the 4th project in Polina Zaitseva’s 3rd year studio. We were tasked with creating a mechanical animal of some kind, using any parts we felt necessary, be it from the distant future or the past. Inspired by the intricate city scenes made up of small pieces by Joan Stiener, I set out to create a bull-like beast using only items found in a 1940’s residential home. The closer the viewer observes the piece, they may notice small details, such as the rotary plates as the creature’s

D E S I G N

chest, the typewriter keys as the creature’s ear, the hacksaws as the it’s legs, and the set of house keys as its tail. In addition, smaller pieces such as the piano keys for the ribcage, a record needle near the ear, a phonograph pavillion as his hips, and rows of spoons over the chest gives layers of detail for the piece. Each piece of the creature was carefully selected and mapped out in various sketches, and 3D modeled in 3DSMAX to create the look and feel of an escaped mechanical creature. The images were

S H O W C A S E

rendered in Vray with careful attention to lighting and form in order to achieve a truly unique piece. This piece was chosen as the cover image for the 2016 SIGGRAPH Student Exhibit, which I attended as a Student Volunteer in Anaheim, California.

The design for the TabLP started with searching for a material I could re-purpose. I used worn out vinyl because I was able to find an abundant supply online through Craigslist. The design for the table came from layering the vinyl to create a cylinder sliced with a flat edge. A piece of acrylic, back painted black, sits on that flat edge, the high gloss finish of the acrylic contrasts with the almost matte finish of the vinyl. The vinyl cylinder sits on four oak legs. The legs were turned to be thinner at

D E S I G N

the bottom; they appear as if they too thin to hold up the table. The vinyl are held together with hidden joinery and construction adhesive. Holes were drilled into the vinyl for the legs to fit into. TabLP is intended to be a side table for a couch or a bed. Recycling vinyl records is common in DIY projects, though layering it was not something I saw. I was inspired by the Mid-century modern style, the Bauhaus movement, and Greek architecture while designing. The simple geometry of TabLP is reminiscent of

S H O W C A S E

the common elements found in the Bauhaus movement and Mid-century modern style. The legs of the table can be thought of as mini columns, they follow the same aesthetic style with the application of entasis.

This thesis is an exploration in the value of a multicultural heritage.Where cultures meet and create a sustainable union.

D E S I G N

The world is evolving, it used to be that each country had one general identity but now we see globalization happening, especially in the United States, where so many people from all corners of the world can meet, bringing their different perspectives and creating a new one. My hypothesis is that there is great value in culture and that the mixing of culture will open new doors in design. The more we are exposed to other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background the better perspective

S H O W C A S E

we can get for when it comes to creating a product that universally speaks to people. Tradition is not something we should dismiss as old and dated, but it is a foundation already created for us to inject it with new flavors and form. Our cultural background could be what makes us different rom others, it can elevate our design to a broader spectrum of people. Culture is not a divider between people but a unifier.

A product designed for a specific subculture; Vintage Car collectors. The concept of this piece was to create a product for them that would combine not only the collectorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adoration of utilitarian design, but also their obssesion with nostalgia. That balance of function oriented aesthetics, while also being simple and unobtrusive in every detail was a challenge for me. The result was a speaker that was functional enough to have HQ audio, portability, and bluetooth connectivity, while also being made of nostalgic materials in traditional forms but new.

Office urbanism is a keen contribution to a successful interaction for people. Through the diverse usage of “IN- SIDE-OUT”, it enables users to create spontaneous instances of ideas as you go about your daily life. Your everyday routine should be more than this special and precious moments but it also should create a deep and meaningful purpose. Leveling the Plainfield and dismissing cubicles influences the way you think, feel, and touch. Allowing people to get cultured and be involve into con-

versations that they never had before is productivity. As you circulate the space you will wonder around a series of desk, chairs, and “cove” like structures that can be inhabitable depending on the purpose for your use. Flexibility and modularity were also the main focus as I design this project. Spreading various spots of working desk and break rooms generates that recipe of miscellaneous and effective collaboration.

S H O W C A S E

Also, creating opportunities for some coves to be enclosed and some are open constantly generates the “feel at home” vibe. The structures serves this tangible elements that creates a dialogue between furniture placement and lighting.

Contour in Compression Six Walls

Interior Design | Studio I | David Brothers

A N D

Students were asked to explore space through design by creating models using six uniform strips of material. From there, manipulate the newfound “walls” in a similar fashion and arrange them coherently on a base in order to create a structure which would be used for a specific event, which was to the student’s discretion. Each structure was to include spaces of entry, enclosure, and circulation. This project tested the limits on how to create a defining space with a set of rules.

D E S I G N

After tackling angular and orthogonal bends, curvilinear cuts and bends were the only ones which kept the planes integrity as an entire piece which appears as two. That exploration led to the scoring, bending, and twisting of an intricate curve which mimicked snow drifts and the crisp, untouched surfaces of hills in winter. The event dedicated to this structure was the Winter Olympics, specifically, the moment in which the ceremonial torch is proceeded through the arena and lit. After multiple iterations,

the space itself became the torch. One would utilize the traditional Olympic torch and proceed through the arches and sweeps in order to set the last arch on fire.

Comme des Garcons is a fashion company based in Tokyo run by Rei Kawakubo. The company, french for “like boys,” has always challenged traditional ideas of femininity and continues to push the boundaries of what fashion is. Rei’s “no-rule, beautiful chaos” designs are meant to stir the mind and surprise the eye. When creating this retail clothing space for Comme des Garcons I designed every element with Rei’s brilliantly unconventional ideas and values in mind. Her idea that clothing must

D E S I G N

be “built from within” inspired these mannequins that pour down from the ceiling and clothing display systems that grow from the floor. She often says, “One should buy her clothes because of how they make you feel, not how they make you look.” I tried to incorporate this by creating a daring, bold, unique environment that imitated the emotions customers feel in her clothes. The lack of window displays and an entrance that hides the interior was designed to clear the palette of the customer’s minds before they

S H O W C A S E

enter the space and separate their emotions of the busy New York city sidewalk with the environment of Comme des Garcons. My overall goal was to create a space that accurately represents the brand’s values while incorporating my own design ideas.

This is an office space designed for coworkers and freelancers, located in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The concept for this coworking office was born from the idea of a centralized core that united many different types of spaces. The spaces all had a vastly different program - in noise level, furniture, user type, and aesthetic. The core is perforated with circulation paths, punched openings with movable rotating panels (which allow the user to control how public/private their space becomes),

D E S I G N

and windows with casual seating benches. The program of the core functions as a public event space, usable for employees in the office during the day, and the public later into the night. It contains the main recpetion area, a bar-type service area, table seating, a fully equipped kitchen, and a meeting assembly area with flexible seating and a projection screen. Around the wall perimeter are user-friendly perforations that provide a dialogue with the surrounding office spaces and meeting rooms. The work area

S H O W C A S E

around the core is divided into quadrants, allowing for individualized and collaborative work zones based on user needs. The quadrants are separated by storage walls with phones booths interspersed for completely individual use. Additionally, there are acoustically private meeting rooms and private offices on the outside perimeter. This office interior brings a new style of work and play into a diverse and fun program.

Trimension exists in the Westbeth Artist Community in New York City, combining two preexisting apartment units into a co-living duplex which accommodates two artists and their families. The artists, a performing artist and graphic artist, were used as conceptual tools to generate the visual character of this space. The eclecticism of furniture choice and tactility of materials in the space reflect the essence of the graphic artist. The performative nature of the frosted glass bathroom partitions and the drama of the double-height dining space also speak to the attitudes of the performance artist. The project features a customizable wall partition which is intended to accommodate the aesthetic and functional needs of all occupants. It allows for compositional freedom and visual customization. The occupant is given an array of several finished materials such as cork board, magnetic backed glass, white board and shelving of various sizes.
