About

My interest in design encompasses the built environment, the societal dynamics, and the processes that coexist and intermingle to create a working system. More and more, I am drawn to the narrative of how people occupy space on their daily routines. I am interested in the design of buildings that fit in its environment while holding its own identity. But beyond that, I am interested in the composition of a building as an art form as well as an engineered machine.

Digital Studio Dean Bernarch Colavery Mission To enforce a complete transition into the digital world through real time process + spatial experience within the design.

Curriculum / Subjects Offered Architectural Design + Animation Studio

The platform of this studio is for each student to design an Architecture School based off an existing pedagogy (an old school thought) from our precedence study. At the sametime, the “old school thought” is to be transformed into a new school of thought and into a physical Architecture school building that reflects the reforned idea.

The “Paperless Studio” brought to Columbia University by Tschumi is tailored to fit the modern day technology and is reflected in the building plans.

grafting the nature-culture divide at Fresh-Kills Park

Eco-Social Imaginary

Program / Type Land Art Installation/Clean Energy Generator Location Fresh Kills Park, Long Island, NY Setting Landfill Description PROBLEM: We see in FreshKills a landscape of sublimated tensions between its natural and cultural systems, and our challenge is how to connect and transform these into a new ecosocial imaginary* whose energy and that of sunlight lead to greater systems vitality.

Based upon the past-present-future and micro-meso-macro scales and relationships, this project a man-made product of nature and ruin. We grafted the false landscape, one that is made of landfill covering the original and natural layer, to create a living and livable space. * 'The social imaginary...[is] the creative and symbolic dimension of the social world, the dimension through which human beings create their ways of living together and their ways of representing their collective life'. An ecosocial imaginary inteconnects that of the social to that of the natural.

meso-scale mapping Domesticated Landscape + Ruined Landmarks

2000-present

The perception and interpretation of a site and its content may differ over the course of the site’s lifetime; the layers of history associated with the site create a rich personality within it. There are both literal/physical layers, as well as emotional/perceptual ones.

The status of the natural landscape has changed drastically since humans first interacted with it. The untampered nature is called “wilderness,� a word with negative connotation.

Nature now exists within cultural containing conditions, becoming either a preserved landscape, tamed landscape, or customized/ thematized landscape. On the other hand, landmarks, which are man made, are left wild and ruined, reframed within the containment of nature.

With the study of existing ecology and human circulation paths, one can begin to understand how the program exists with nature and the ways of human interactions within FreshKills Park. By understanding the difference between cultural/ecological relations, it is then possible to locate and think about the project’s influence on site. One could also recognize the tension between the

programs that are more convenient for humans and the programs that are beneficial for both. For example, a parking exists to advantage human activity

and intrudes the natural system while a bike path or a nature educational center both profits the humans as well as nature. Thus, it is possible to examine and learn which types of human interaction could occur.

Program / Type Arts + Media Center / Thomas Jefferson campus plan (20,000 SF) Location Emory at Oxford (Georgia) Setting Semi-rural Description The media and arts center includes the following programs: an analog studio, a digital studio, a workshop, 2 gallery spaces, 2 screening rooms, an auditorium, a library, office spaces, and a cafe.

Fall 2011 [3rd year Studio] Jude LeBlanc [instructor] 27

Emory’s Oxford campus has a master plan that follows a Classical Campus Courtyard plan. It has strong axis through the central courtyard that guides the orientation of the buildings and the procession of the people within it. This type of plan exists originally in Thomas Jefferson’s plan for University of Virginia.

Problem Area While the center of campus is well developed, the master plan did not address the southernmost edge of the campus. The site is currently a parking lot behind the new gym addition, between the campus’ nature preserve to the west and an undeveloped courtyard to the east.

Defining the Southern Edge The project in its proposed location allows for a future development of the secondary courtyard which has been neglected in the master plan.

This creates a strong facade from the public’s point of view.

Context 28

Defining the Southern Edge

A Dynamic Box + a Telescope

Vertical Telescope + Multipresence

The building negotiates the campus’ neglected green spaces by completing the sightline created by the buildings that currently exist in the space. The rear elevation of the building extends to the nature preserve, allowing it to trickle in to the building’s “backyard.”

The new gym addition’s formal quality is, roughly, that of a plain rectangular box, especially in the context of the campus’s formal tradition. The addition will derive off of the plain form of the gym it is adjacent to and a series of push-pull operations on the form creates a reaching relationship between the “wilderness” and the form.

The topmost extrusion of the building’s form creates a telescope which houses the gallery -- a viewing room within a viewing mechanism. Each floor’s rear wall is glass and, through the horizontal push-pull operations toward the nature preserve, each floor’s rear walls act as

frames and ambiguous viewing portals for the occupants.

The trees will fill the window frames, creating an illusion that the occupants are standing right before the preserve when, in reality, the building only occupies the front half of the site.

The vertical telescope also allows an ambiguous occupant existence. The connection between floors, both inside and outside.

Settlement will begin with the most common and important need of all the people in the area---clean water. This will invite people to occupy the site even if they are not living in it. The second thing that will go up will be the school, another major necessity. Traffic count will increase and the practical next move will be for the people to settle within the site as their needs are accomodated for in the area.

Convenience will be a strong factor at play.

Plan of Aggregation 47

Sweat dripped down. Eyes squinted. And breath was nothing short of heavy. In the distance, one saw a form, reflective, solid.

A mirrage? Dehydration induced hallucination? The thought of a shelter cracked a smile.

The surface was smooth with few folds. Was there an entrance? Closer and closer, the materiality exposed itself and this “solid� was made of glass. A slight slit at the bottom provided enough aperture for one to walk through with extra head room.

As the glass entryway passed behind, a series of masses appeared confronting.

The first element seemed to have melted from the ceiling--two layers of glass, the interior sheet more transparent than the exterior and latice-work was sandwiched in betwen.

The layered glass membrane sheltered the space. However, the massive copper piece after it was peeled out, exposing the desertscape and the unforgiving sun.

At this point, you are both sheltered from and exposed to the elements.

Turning right into the shelter, the folds framed the space. Moments of framing and revelation repeated throughout, creating movement that mimicked and complimented the desertscape.

Program / Type Alvar Aalto Experiment House addition Location Muuratsalto, Finland Setting Wooded island Description The brief of this project called for a proposal of a museum addition to the seminal house based on the existing systems logic (parti). This project hints at a historic preservation task, allowing for different interpretations of what preservation means -- it could mean a straightfoward mimicry of the architect’s logic and composed form or it could mean a deviation based on the base logic.

has a unique play with its forest setting.

Its courtyard blends in with the trees during the summer and its exterior blends in with the snow during the winter.

5-Layered Parti In extracting the language of the building through its lines of alignment, structure, enclosure, circulation, and windows, I was able to design a small museum addition that does not distract from the original house complex.

However, through the discovery and use that the orthagonal language dilutes into a slightly skewed grid deeper into the forest, the addition is distinguishable as an addition to the house.
