THE SEAM: URBAN GREENING Domino Sugar Factory Redevelopment Williamsburg, Brooklyn In Collaboration with Lindsey Brown
The project aims to create unique experiences throughout, linking Williamsburg to its waterfront and Manhattan, celebrating the unique aspect that each bring to the site, sewing together the two conditions. The creation of light-filled underground spaces creates a unique commercial experience connecting the public park down to the large retail space, while the residential amenity spaces and pedestrian bridges provide the residents panoramic views of the park and surrounding skyline. The project creates a stronger connection between Williamsburg, greater Brooklyn, the East River, and Manhattan through the activation of a historical manufacturing district into a programmed waterfront park and commercial space below which both services the needs of the community while maintaining public green space as a crucial addition to the area providing the necessary support for both the existing and proposed residents.

ADJACENCIES
Creative Industries & LIC Redevelopment Hunters Point, Long Island City, New York In Collaboration with Christina Fluman
The theme of the project centers around the juxtaposition of the original manufacturing district with the interjection of creative industries in Long Island City, at the scale of a block. We carve out the center of block to create a central gallery, which also serves as a link to the other programs and the exterior of the block. Surrounding programs influence the inclusion and location of programs on the site and through the intervention, a public cultural hub is created which accents and strengthens the existing without replacing it. The massing is influenced by the current zoning and existing buildings, and interacts with the site and pulls the public into it and through it.

RE/SOURCE COMMUNITY
Rebuilding and Remediating Winding Ridge Winding Ridge, South Campus, Syracuse, New York In Collaboration with Estefany Lona and Zhen Huang
Winding Ridge Road is a disconnected sprawl of student housing, lacking interaction internally among its residents and externally with Main Campus. This lends itself detrimentally to student well-being, as it fails to create a sense of community and constrains access to amenities. The project works towards remediating the empty spaces which isolate Winding Ridge with natural life that encourages student activity beyond the housing unit. The project seeks to remediate by encouraging growth of native species; rebuild by breaking down the rigidity of the townhouse typology; and resource by capturing on-site energy sources to fuel the buildings and students. The goal is to subvert the pattern of homogeneity, lack of biodiversity, and cookie cutter planning to one that’s replicable and more ecologically appropriate and create areas habitable for both humans, flora, and fauna in tandem that take less to run and give back more to the ecology.

Opening the Floodgates East Village, New York, NY Advisors: I. Diamantopoulou, A. Frolet, K. Miller
“WHAT A VIEW” | E 10TH ST
This thesis explores the paradoxical binary that exists within architecture by critiquing current methods of combating rising water levels and instead offers the pragmatic solution, to let water in. Architecture must do away with the notion that we need to keep nature at bay, that we can and must assert control over it, and instead simply live with it. We should humbly accept that our built environment will be taken over and embrace impending ruination, redesigning the urban environment in hopes of a less tumultuous coexistence. Through a series of architectural interventions at various scales, this project demonstrates what life in New York City will look like after we let the water in.
