Allen Street LOWER EAST SIDE Bicycle Infrastructure and Pedestrian Mall ROLE: City Planner II/ Urban Designer AREA & SITE: Allen Street, Manhattan, New York City
Re-Design of Bicycle Infrastructure & City Parks
Along Allen Street in the lower east side of Manhattan, there have been traffic safety concerns for the re-design of crossstreets to provide for safe pedestrian & bicyclists crossing. One example is at the intersection of Allen Street & Delancey Street where the Allen Street Mall which combines a bicycle bi-way and a mid-street park converges with multi-lane cross streets at very low visibility intersections. To increase awareness of pedestrians and bicyclists markings are placed at the intersection and pedestrian crossings are extend with curb extensions to limit the proximity of vehicles to people and to slow traffic to address safer street conditions. These are all part of the Mayor’s “Vizion Zero” initiatives to implement Safe Pedestrian practices throughout the city of New York.

ROLE: City Planner II/ Urban Designer AREA & SITE: Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, New York City
Pedestrians First at Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn’s grandest public space at the top of Prospect Park has always been a work in progress. Grand Army Plaza, an ovalshaped public space composed of monuments ringed by an inner and an outer roadway, was built as the main entrance to the park in 1866, serving as a buffer between nature and city and happened to be the confl uence of some of Brooklyn’s busiest avenues. Over the years, a monumental archway was added, fountains came and went, and eventually the roads were widened until the lush plaza was effectively cut off from the surrounding Prospect Heights and Park Slope neighborhoods.

The extension of the 2nd Avenue Protected Bicycle Lane has been a priority in the Agency’s agenda and especially for the Mayor’s “Vision Zero” initiative to pave the way for a more sustainable and safe bicycle network. As a major North/ South artery for cars it was very important that bicyclists and also the rapid bus transit system be instrumental in providing accessibility for all New Yorkers and visitors.

Astoria Park Pool & Amphitheater Historic Preservation and Reuse of the Largest of the 1930’s Moses Era Public Pools ASTORIA PARK, Queens, New York City 30,000 Square Feet $4,500,000 City of New York Parks & Recreation Department DESIGN INTENT The objective is to bring the Dive Pool back into the fold of the original parti. While reinstating the dive program is not feasible, our proposal for an Amphitheater provides a meaningful way to engage the space by bringing performance back into the facilities programmatic structure. We propose re-purposing the space for use as a live performance venue. A place for concerts, theater and other community oriented events. At full capacity the scale of this project is 37,377 sf and can seat 2,250 people. This is almost double the size of Central Park’s Delacorte Theater where “Shakespeare in the Park” is performed annually. SCOPE OF WORK Fill the Dive pool with recycled glass and replace concrete decking. Restoring Diving tower and creating a new entrance that will provide ADA accessibility. Restoration of various historic elements that date back to the 1930’s. For instance the diving pool basin, diving boards, diving pool coping, spring boards, pool ladders, concrete bleachers, and bronze fencing and picket security fence. Astoria Park has one of the largest and most popular swimming facilities in the country, with a main pool and diving pool that meet Olympic standards, as well as a wading pool. At 330 feet in length, the main pool is the largest in New York City. Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, an avid swimmer himself, recognized the importance of aquatic recreation and launched a campaign to open eleven new pools throughout the city during the summer of 1936. The labor and construction

It has been said that Moses intended it to be the grandest of the new pools because it had the best view of the Triborough Bridge, which was completed in the same year. http://www.nycgovparks.org/ Perhaps the most exciting events in the history of Astoria Pool were the Olympic Trials for the U.S. Swim and Diving Teams. The pool’s grand opening was July 4, 1936, and it was on this day that the finals of the Olympic swim tryouts began. This remarkable contest returned to Astoria in 1964. The two fountains located on the east end of the pool (which now spray water twenty-five feet in the air) served as Olympic torches which burned throughout the events in 1936 and 1964. The diving pool has a 32-foot elevated platform, built to conform to Olympic standards.

The exemplary design of the pool complex remains largely unchanged.

The 1997 restoration of the pool effected mild aesthetic changes such as new cement, lights, pumps, pipes, electric lines, filters, showers, and improved chlorination and security systems. The eleven WPA pools built in 1936 were symbolic of a city that cared about its people; ten remain community treasures today.

Lower East Side Ecological Center Historic Preservation & Reuse of a Fire Boat House EAST RIVER PARK, Manhattan, New York 11,000 Square Feet $1,200,000 City of New York Parks & Recreation Department DESIGN INTENT The Lower East Side Ecology Center sits at the edge of the East River, maintaining a prominent location just South of the Williamsburg Bridge. The proposed design of the code compliant entrance reflects the nautical theme implemented throughout East River Park and the Esplanade. The choice of materials and the use of porthole windows reinforces this concept. The solar panels on the tower are oriented to maximize their effectiveness. They become a visual example of the sustainable concepts that the Lower East Side Ecology Center promotes. SCOPE OF WORK This project includes modification to the existing entrance, stone steps, handrails and plantings to allow for the addition of an accessible ramp. Photovoltaic panels are being added on the existing roof tower to increase sustainability, an important component of the center’s mission. Minor repair work is proposed to the existing windows. MISSION STATEMENT The Ecology Center works toward a more sustainable New York City by providing community-based recycling and composting programs, developing local stewardship of green space, and increasing community awareness, involvement and youth development through environmental education programs. http://www.lesecologycenter.org/

In the spring of 2006 the Ecology Center started to
meet with Lower East Side community members to collect ideas about how three sites in East River Park could be best utilized to meet community needs. We have presented a report of what we heard in these meetings to Parks. Out of this process, a community group, now called Community Hooked on East River Park (CHERP) has formed. CHERP is a group of volunteer advocates engaged in fostering awareness and participation in East River Park, with the goal to promote a safe, clean, beautiful green waterfront park for everyone to enjoy.

RADNOR PARK [KOP]
Master Planning and Design for a Mixed Use Office, Research Lab Facility in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania KING OF PRUSSIA, Pennsylvania 500,000 Square Feet
BAM Architecture Studio DESIGN INTENT This project re-envisions a brownfield site to become a Transit Oriented Development. With an adjacent high speed rail station, a regional rail station nearby, and an interstate highway bordering the site, BAM re-imagined the site for mixed uses of 500,000 square foot office, 225 room hotel, retail and 350 unit residential use. As part of the project, BAM helped to craft a progressive zoning amendment supporting mixed use transit oriented development, working with governmental officials and the landowner to secure approval of the zoning amendment. SCOPE OF WORK This project included a mixed use master plan for the reorganization of buildings, site and infrastructure of corporate campus to increase parking and to attract new tenants to the site. BAM engaged with BMR in order to revamp their recently acquired property and demolish the existing buildings on site. BAM will also provide new parking, infrastructure and attractive yet functional buildings. www.bam-studio.com
ROLE Junior Architect / Urban Designer RESPONSIBILITIES Including and not limited to working alongside a senior architect from schematic design to design development
Nona Boulevard also is critical in the biotech hub’s growth, as it provides space for smaller companies to feed off Medical City’s anchor tenants, including Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, University of Central Florida College of Medicine, Orlando VA Medical Center and Nemours Children’s Hospital. www.bizjournals.com The Innovation Center in Lake Nona — which previously was called the Florida Blue Innovation Center — also will include a life sciences incubator to be jointly run by the University of Central Florida and University of Florida.
SCIENCE WORKPLACE The plan allows for seamless integration of laboratory and office space. It’s perfection brings to bear specific expertise obtained through developing millions of square feet of research space.

ENSTRIMAN Geri [A Healing Instrument in Haitian Creole] SITE PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Rhino, CAD, Adobe CS
[archive]
Haiti Competition Entry
DESIGN INTENT Our project aims to provide a healing environment to patients of Tuberculosis and HIV Aids. By providing a sanitary, modern, and sustainable habitat we seek to improve the quality of life for the individual and by association the community. We understand that social, psychological and environmental conditions around us are fundamental components of our health. After the earthquake Haiti has been in a state of devastation and disarray, increasingly vulnerable
to the spread of contagious diseases such as cholera, and existing epidemics such as tuberculosis. Haiti’s poor infrastructure, planning and neglect agitate the earthquakes devastation. We understand that the creation of modern well built structures and communities can be the one element to thwart future disasters. This is why we named our project ENSTRIMAN GERI, the Haitian Creole term for healing instrument, through it we aim to build, heal and sustain.

Image: Public trans-harbor link supporting ecologically sustainable water front
LifeLINE Mumbai’s New Gateway MUMBAI, INDIA Rhino, CAD, Adobe CS Fall Semester Columbia University GSAPP Master of Science in Architecture & Urban Design DESIGN INTENT This proposal re-envisions a new connection between Mumbai and Navi-Mumbai. Currently, the State Government of Maharashtra proposes to build a 22km automobile bridge from NhavaSheva (Navi Mumbai) to Sewri Bay (Island City) solely through private finances. Our proposal, a “Life Line”, revisits the Mumbai Trans-Harbor Link to become the programmatic and formal catalyst for change on the eastern waterfront of the Island City, acting as a lifeline for Mumbai’s future. With the advent of new technology, this link will surpass typical automobile infrastructure and will function as a mediator between public and private programs, while acting as a proponent of intergenerational equity and environmental sustainability. Within greater Mumbai, Sewri is a strategically located neighborhood, functioning as a potential cross-link between north and south of Mumbai, but also between the eastern and western part of the city. In addition, it is saturated with religious, historical, political and socio-ecological traits, illustrated by iconic elements such as Sewri
Station, Sewri Fort, a christian cemetery, Mumbai Port Trust housing, a mosque and a mangrove ecosystem. Due to its centrality, this neighborhood has the great potential to become the most important area of development for the Island City. In anticipation of the Mumbai Trans-Harbor Link the eastern waterfront will see major changes. However, the current government proposal does not acknowledge Sewri’s full potential as a neighborhood and economic generator for future growth. Instead, political forces and private stakeholders have formed publicly inaccessible edges on the site’s mangrove-rich waterfront overlooking the potential of Sewri Station. The Life Line is the trigger for change. The objective of this project is to reconfigure the current government proposal to include efficient mass transit systems and new functions for industry, ecology, and social adaptation. The connection to Sewri Station on the Harbor Line becomes a gateway hub where new pedestrianization and new high density

development are anticipated. This effect will reduce pressure on the mangroves and the waterfront while placing importance on nature as a means of economic gain also known as natural capitalism. The factors of natural capitalism and the Coastal Regulation Zone policy will aid in programming water front activities with soft and hard edges that generate revenue while providing zones of accessibility to the public.
Vehicular Access
The Life Line’s connections onto the Island City involve appropriate connections to the Harbor, Central, and Western lines to eventually strengthen the east-west axis of Southern Mumbai as well as towards Navi Mumbai. The proposal envisions a hybrid infrastructure which can responsively address ecological awareness and responsible development in Sewri while creating new dialogue with Navi Mumbai.

Mangrove Urbanism: an Interaction Between Man and Nature: Mangrove ecology plays an important role in maintaining water quality and providing protection from rising water levels. The State Government of Maharashtra proposes programs to be implemented for the preservation of affected mangrove zones. Along the coast of Mahul Creek
exists three specific zones that address the mangrove ecosystem. Rendering of The Edge Front: The southern tip will encompass fish farming and aquaculture practices. The northern tip will encompass initial afforestation methods.

Underneath The Edge Section: The southern tip will encompass fish farming and aquaculture practices. The northern tip will encompass initial afforestation methods. In the Sewri Fort area the prominent uses will be ecotourism, cultural programs and an exhibition center. A new form of waterfront industrial practice concerned with mangrove preservation is projected
to be incorporated adjacent to the inactive warehouses. This zone will be transformed into a mangrove industrial research center. The coastal program will be primarily zoned for the protection of Sewri’s ecosystem. The objective is to attract light ecotourism and create new ecological stakeholders that will support a balance between industry and nature. Layers Of Complexity

REPOWERING BUFFALO [Constructiong Ecologies | Producing Localities] BUFFALO, NEW YORK Rhino, CAD, Adobe CS Fall Semester Columbia University GSAPP Master of Science in Architecture & Urban Design DESIGN INTENT This project seeks to strategize ways of leveraging University at Buffalo resourses and by-products [energies] toward activating the city’s cultural and industrial landscape. Embracing the com-plexity and fragility of Buffalo’s multi-layered postindustrial urban condition[s], we have identified and established both locational and systemic relationships [ecologies] in order to open up oppor-tunities for physical and strategic design intervetions. We are not so much concerned with design at the “regional” scale but rather with regional design at multiple scales and timeframes. This in mind, the conceptual framework of this project is the pro-duction of locality using principles of industrial ecology as an an-analytical and programming methodology. Specifically, field_LAB | ALT_campus poses and responds to the following questions:
1) How can the resources and by-products of the University at Buffalo stimulate both culture and industry [energy]? 2) What kinds of partnerships [ecology] can be forged between the University as a whole, its’ various departments, and the community which it simultaneously serves and feeds off of? 3) What sources of funding [economy] can the University at Buffalo leverage towards different ends?

> ASSISTED MIGRATION + RE-SEEDING In response to global warming concerns, scientists around the country are ex-perimenting with the idea of assisted migration--attempting to save vulnerable species by relocating them to cooler, northern sites. In addition to being at the proper lattitude, the buffalo river site is a post-remediation area in need of new natural populations, making it a perfect test site for reseeding and assisted migration.
In partnership with university at buffalo bioscience students, scientists would utilize the expansive site to experiment with several types of interventions, ranging from direct re-seeding [from collected seeds of grasses & wildflowers] to protected, greenhouse growings and replantings.

Sunset Park Intervention Along the Gowanus
EMPOWERING BROOKLYN Productive Sleeve Along The Gowanus Expressway SUNSET PARK, Brooklyn New York City Rhino, CAD, Adobe CS Fall Semester Columbia University GSAPP Master of Science in Architecture & Urban Design DESIGN INTENT The aim of our design response is to rewire that system through intervention on multiple levels. The physical demarcation of the site is anchored in the post-industrial artifact, with the ultimate goal of reactivating these remnants in the service of a new economic hub. The industrial spines and shells of Sunset Park offer a means by which to thread into the fabric of the community—the elevated Gowanus Expressway as threshold; the warehouses as identifiable knots within a fabric. Physical interventions along and under the expressway structure will be inserted to create
exhibition, functional spaces to be used in both short-term [coordinated events; awareness campaigns] and semi-permanent [worker support and education spaces] capaci-ties. Adjacent under utilized warehouses will be reprogrammed into a network of business incubators and industry training spaces, following [and expanding upon] the model offered by Manhattan’s Garment Industry Development Corporation. These steps would introduce an integrated system of educational, developmental, and supportive spaces into Sunset Park, ultimately empowering its working population and the community as a whole.

URBAN PENUMBRA Mitigating Urban Heat Island Effects in New York City BRONX, NEW YORK CITY Rhino, CAD, Adobe CS Summer Semester Columbia University GSAPP Master of Science in Architecture & Urban Design DESIGN INTENT The Grand Concourse runs along a ridge in the middle of the Bronx stretching 4.5 miles on the north and south axis. First, built in the early 1900’s as a throughway for vehicular traffic. Now it is considered a highway and its use is primarily for the automobile. The pedestrian and local residents were long forgotten. Many other highways like the Cross Bronx and the Major Deegan expressways cut through the urban infrastructure, separating communities and neighborhoods. With the increase of traffic flow, the quality of air has worsened. Of all 5 boroughs, the Bronx has the worst asthma rate. Building and street materials are contributing to surface temperatures rising and increasing the effects of Urban Heat Island. Along the Grand Concourse there are few spaces for social activities and a sense of community. The grand concourse provides us with an opportunity to return the street back to the pedestrian and the local community. We can now begin to imagine these spaces full of social activities. A place inspired by the culture and demographics of the Bronx.
Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are playing dominoes, bocce ball, and baseball along the Grand Concourse. They are also listening to salsa, merengue and bachata on their iphones. Some are even dancing. Many walk the streets with their young children as the sun casts their shadow on the sidewalk. Do we have to just plant trees? We can provide much more through a rethinking of the use of the Grand Concourse. It is now for the pedestrian, so we re-design the street by changing its material fabric. These new spaces can now be inspiring, and allow for a more dynamic experience along the street promenade. Shade in the summer is valuable. We will provide more shade with our Penumbra shading system. We will use permeable shading devices that create interplay of light and shadow. At the same time the shading device will provide filtered air, addressing the pollution from vehicular traffic. The pedestrian experience along the Grand Concourse will be unique from block to block and street to street. It will give back to the community at the same as it protects and cleans the micro-environment.

Asthma rates in the Bronx are the highest in NYC. Obesity and diabetes are also very high in the Bronx with the Bronx having the highest percentage of parks in the NYC metropolitan area‌ 20%-25% Of school-age children (4-14yrs) in the south Bronx and Harlem are effected by asthma. In 2005 their hospitalization rates for asthma were quadruple that of children living in Richmond.
The Bronx also has the highest cases of diabetes in the city with 12% compared to 6.6% in Manhattan. In the past decade the city’s infant mortality rate has been in steady decline, down to an all-time low of 5.9 Per 1,000 live births in 2006. But the Bronx rate remains the highest among the five boroughs, increasing from 6.2 Deaths per 1,000 live births in 2005 to 7.1 In 2006, with Mott Haven, Williamsbridge and Morrisania having the borough’s highest infant mortality rates.
Mitigating Storm Water Runoff Along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx
CAUSES Schools and parks proximity to these areas of high intensity traffic. Airborne particles like dust, soot and smoke that are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter are small enough to lodge themselves deep in the lungs. EPA Officials say that these fine particles, a significant portion of which are produced by diesel engine emissions, lead to 15,000 premature deaths a year nationwide.
Areas with high asthma rates are near areas of the highest truck activity. Schools in the Bronx with highest cases of asthma are near the 4 major highways (Major Deegan, Cross Bronx, Bronx River, and Bruckner-Sheridan). During peak times of traffic are when most asthma attacks occur. 12,855 Trucks pass through the Bronx every day. Some of which don’t even follow the approved truck routes.

Café of Dance
A place of repose and a place of movement. A place of music and a place of dance. VERON, Punta Cana Dominican Republic
Virginia Tech University Master of Architecture MASTER THESIS Thesis Committee: Jack Davis, Dean of Architecture Hans Rott Dennis B. Jones A MANIFESTO To allow for all senses to partake in these wonderful gifts of music and dance [Salsa, Merengue, Bachata] DESIGN INTENT As you leave the hot sun and begin to enter the café constructed of a solid hollowed out material…your eyes will see the natural light penetrating the roof and reaching inside this cool and refreshing space. the space opens up to the natural surroundings so your eyes will still be able to wander outside and towards the sky. Your ears will begin to hear the guitar, violin and the tamboras as they are playing within this large living room. It is a continual space that allows for you to find your place of repose or of movement. As you walk to the bar barefoot your feet are welcomed by the light and dark colored wood.
Then you ask for two drinks and then find your seat inside. Light and darkness play an integral part of this space as darkness and shadows are cast to provide cooling from the hot carribean sun. The music continues to play so sometimes you will rise and ask your love for a dance amidst your friends….or privately near the wall window close to the outside. A place that allows for the celebration and appreciation for the modern dances of this carribean island. Where emotions and all of our senses can be engaged through material, light and darkness. A certain energy is experienced through dance and music when two are entwined within one another in a playful rhythm…… Just as the moon and sun. They dance around each other….so does the light they bring when they shine on two lovers dancing…..light dances with shadow as they follow the body and rhythm.
