Section Cut DD
This studio aimed to create a small cluster of residences for artisans in Port-Au-Prince’s Martissant Park. The houses reuse some of the existing structures, with a small unit below grade, protected from the sun and mostly open. Also, it includes a theater for the prople who will live in the area. On the ground two more houses are placed, with minimum space to encourage use of outdoor spaces. The modules were used to optimize strcture, material usage and construction.

45 E 45th St. Studio Project Parsons The New School for Design Fall 2012 Instructors: Kenneth Lewis and Harold Fredenburgh
This studio aimed to propose a design for a corporate tower in Midtown Manhattan for modern creative companies. This tower takes clue on the dinamism and richness of the surroundingd to break the typical New York skycraper mass into smaller more dinamyc chunks, with multi-level connections and intermediate hang-out spaces. The facade design reflects the fast pace of idea exchanges in the urban environment with a pattern inspired by computer circuits and the city itself. These diagrams illustrate the ideas applied in the design in a simple clear manner.
