Archive & Exhibition Center for the Legacy of the Shakers |New Lebanon, NY
The Shakers are well-known for their beliefs and their craft. Through studying a Shaker artifact - the drop-leaf table - the basic performances were extracted. These performances were drawn, diagramed, and finally used to develop a new museum to house a collective of Shaker artifacts. I studied the drop-leaf table specifically, emphasizing the expanding and contracting movements and utilizing them within the programmatic scheme and the building facade.

After studying dolphin physiology, we investigated the process of counter-current heat exchange which enables the dolphin to retain heat and survive in cold temperatures. We adopted the physiological process in a performative facade module, which would help regulate the interior temperature of a building. The module consists of integrated pipes pumping cool water through the faรงade, allowing it to be warmed by incoming air and solar radiation. Transversely, the water cools the incoming air, maintaining a suitable indoor environment. Adaptive variations in the generative component accommodate variations in program, site micro-climate, and site resources.

New Dudley Observatory | Scotia, NY
The Dudley Observatory is the oldest independent organization in the country supporting research and education in the practice and history of astronomy. It intends to expand its impact, programming, and resources through partnerships with other organizations and also by the construction of new facilities. For the new Dudley Observatory complex, there is a proposed visitor center with planetarium, three astronomical observatories, a proposed botanical gardens and arboretum, built in three distinct phases. My scheme revolved around a focused exterior environment - that of the courtyard and the way the buildings interact on a large and small scale to the exterior.

The Lyceum Competition
called for a design for a rest area within an especially unforgiving environment , the Great Salt Lake Desert. A focus on material and environment impact guided the design, as anything too permanent would scar the historic landscape. I looked for a way to integrate building and landscape while not allowing built environment to become to invasive. The aspects of weaving were studied in historical and social contexts, allowing an organization to develop that brought people together while allowing individuals to directly experience the desert landscape.

EurSCAPE | EUR, Rome, Italy
While studying abroad in Rome,
we were asked to examine a specific historical development, the location of the Exposizione Universale Roma, the proposed site of the World Exposition of 1942, which was cancelled because of WWII. Our group was assigned the Science Building, which currently houses a museum. We integrated a new program into the building, a ‘Vertical Garden,’ looking to reintegrate greenspace into the EUR, and draw the public to a novel attraction. Each space within this new vertical landscape was curated, giving physical weight to the individual botanical ‘exhibits.’ These varying nodes created a new frame for which to experience native species of plants and trees.

The
S[around]OUND Installation and Performance was created during the Fall 2011 PIP (Production, Installation, Performance) Studio with artist and professor, Michael Oatman, of MassMOCA. The challenge was to create an environment and plan a performance for Artist-in-Residence, Todd Reynolds, the following spring semester. The result was an interdisciplinary studio consisting of 15 Architecture students, 24 animation students, one historic buidling, and a total attendance of over 1000 people over 3 nights. It was reviewed and publicized by the Times Union, Huffington Post, as well as other publications. In the first stage, viewers explore the Gasholder on the ground and experience the acoustic wonder of the space. In the second stage, the viewers are a part of the performance. Finally, viewers had access to a never-before-experienced view of the iconic Troy landmark.

Urban Art Exchange: Estonian Academy of Arts | Tallinn,Estonia
The new Estonian Academy of Art is the physical
manifestation of the iterative design process, allowing the public and the school to coexist and at specific moments cross paths to challenge the academy’s iterative process beyond its current isolated state. The design project was completed within a Design Development class, requiring detailed design of structure, materials, programming, code, and a complete drawing set.

Urban Multiplexiform Riverscape: The current riverscape is a complex layering of history, culture and ecological events. Post-industrial river sites have been subject to two clashing histories: the natural/ecological development and the artificial/industrial development. During the past centuries, industry overpowered the natural, rendering much of the landscape marred, polluted, and lacking in its former picturesque aesthetic. Contemporary river cities are looking to environmental, technological, and cultural development as a way of reengaging the river resource.

In a parallel narrative of multivalence and cohabitating systems, Reyner Banham developed his alternative history of architecture through the lens of the building system in his book, The Architecture of the Well-tempered Environment. He criticized the creative discipline of architecture for being so formbiased and treating systems as an afterthought, and put forth examples of fully designed architecture of corrugated systems – those which occupy the same space, provide form, and create the aesthetic. The future of architecture integrates form and function, served and serving, structure and infrastructure, designed multivalence in all parts.

The future riverscape deploys multivalent infrastructure and cultural systems, designing within the blurred boundary between natural/ artificial and formal/functional. The PotamoPaseo Intermunicipal Park connects Minneapolis and St. Paul through their mutual boundary, the Mississippi River. This previously-vacated corridor of shipping routes and industry serves as a platform for a new juncture of cohabitating ecological and infrastructural interventions. This prototypical post-industrial riverscape is simultaneously active in metropolitan culture, environmental intervention, and experiential atmosphere.
