BUILDING BEHAVIOR
$GYLVRUV -HDQD 5LSSOH DQG /XFLD 3KLQQH\ 6SULQJ
My thesis work originates from a greater interest in the implications of the virtual on our physical lives. Relationships, from the very personal to the larger social and cultural, have been vastly reshaped by constantly emerging means of communication and interaction. It is a trend that has occurred in generations past, but this time these aspects of our lives are becoming digital. A technological network that is entirely reliant on the modern advances of human civilization and largely irrespective of the physical spatial bounds that we live within. How have our physical lives and activities been translated into the digital realm, and vice versa? This emerging dialogue was explored through a series of responsive architectural installations in Campbell Hall, home to the architecture school, to create a renewed intrigue of our habituated surroundings.

Utilizing a sonar sensor and IR motion sensor, a projected visualization greeted students as they entered the stairwell. The program was written with Processing, allowing the sensor inputs to be easily translated into text-based messages, graphic lines and shapes, and even sounds.

‘Communicating Across Ends’ introduced the utilization of the school’s existing network infrastructure to connect two distant spaces. A two part system, the occupation of one space triggers the sensors, which is then communicated on the internet. This message is read by the second part located in a remote stairwell, which triggers a sound recording of footsteps as a way of communicating the presence in one space to another.

This resulted in the design and fabrication of Sound Cloud, an active acoustic installation made of 3D printed joints and conduit, in one of the school’s stairwells to experiment with sound and its different forms to heighten and/or modulate the experience of the space.

A series of full scale physical mock-ups were created to test the joints that were to be 3D printed and various materials as the structural members In the end, typical conduit proved to be the strongest and most cost effective structure and the joints went through a series of optimizations for strength and total time to print. Once decided, a digital structural analysis was conducted using Karamba3D in Rhino and a VFDOHG SK\VLFDO PRGHO WR WHVW WKH Ę?QDO GHVLJQ before the installation was put in place.

FUTURE FIT:
DATA FURNACE
3URIHVVRU 5RELQ 'ULSSV )DOO Washington D.C.
The internet is digital and not a physical thing. I believe this is a common misconception held by most of the population today. Unbeknownst to them, massive nondescript warehouses ʏOOHG ZLWK KXQGUHGV RI WKRXVDQGV RI FRPSXWHUV populate our industrial parks acting as the ‘magic box’ that makes your Google search work. They use huge loads of energy and these structures are largely designed to keep the computers cool. Instead of dissipating this heat, why not collect and re-use it? This project is a proposal for future urban development along South Capitol Blvd. in Washington DC to be designed around an on-site data center system acting as its heating source.
13_
_14
Data centers world-wide consume energy equal to the output of thirty nuclear power plants. Most don’t realize it, but each of those Google searches, or watching clips on Youtube are using more energy than just from your laptop. One thing that computers do produce is heat. This heat output, at the scale of a data center, is plentiful enough to heat neighboring spaces. This strategy has been used in limited cases, but my suggestion is to rethink the data center as a multi-purpose infrastructural core for future urban development, instead of its traditional placement LQ VXEXUEDQ RIĘ?FH SDUNV

ROOTS OF MUSIC
3URIHVVRU .DUHQ 9DQ /HQJHQ )DOO New Orleans, LA
Located within Armstrong Park, the new home for the Roots of Music marching band program serves as a new cultural focal point that aims to dissolve the physical and cultural boundaries present in this crucial section of New Orleans. Lying between the French Quarter and the historically African American neighborhood of Treme, the design reinterprets the billboard to engage its surrounding context through an interactive visualization of the cultural activities that occur within and around the building itself.

In the 1960’s, Armstrong Park was created as a new cultural mecca for the city and nation. The proposed complex of theaters and buildings were modeled after the Lincoln Center of Performing Arts and aimed to be ‘greater’ than its predecessor. 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ GXH WR Ę?QDQFLDO IHDVLELOLW\ RQO\ WKH Municiple Auditorium was initially constructed and then in the 90’s, the Mahalia Jackson Theater was completed. The incorporation of the youth music program rejuvenates the spirit of the park, with the physical construction reinforcing the urban nature of Congo Square.

Practicing every week night, the Roots of Music center would create a unique sonic experience in Congo Square for locals and tourists to enjoy. Even within their practice rooms, the sounds of the music will still reverberate and be heard. To accompany this, the building’s facade comes to life as a visual representation of the sounds and lessons happening within its walls.

MASTER PLAN TRAIN + BUS STATION $VVRFLDWH 3URIHVVRU 'HDQ $EHUQDWK\ 6SULQJ w/ Scott Mitchell & Sebastijan Jemec Ollantaytambo, Peru
Working in collaboration with COPESCO, the World Bank, and the city of Ollantaytambo, our semester studio was the beginning of a multi-year effort towards studying the threats from increased tourism in the Sacred Valley. The ancient town of Ollantaytambo sits at a critical juncture between the bus and rail system for tourists en route to Machu Picchu and faces growing international economic pressures. Our work intended to propose a schematic master plan and new train station that accommodates international interests and local needs while preserving the town’s physical history and cultural ideals.

A balance was struck between the number of custom bricks and the amount of fabrication needed to create the molds. Two sets of six custom molds were routed out of MDF and edged with tongue and groove sides. With each brick interlocking with those around it, the wall was able to be assembled without the use of mortar.

NYU Langone Medical Center 1HZ <RUN 1HZ <RUN )DOO SUHVHQW
The NYU Langone Medical Center exists on a superblock located between First Ave and the East River in Manhattan. Originally planned and designed by SOM in the 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, it has been continually added upon throughout its existence. For the past three years, Ennead Architects has been working to map out a thirty year development plan to add a fully integrated center for acute clinical care and the design of the Kimmel Pavilion hospital, which will act as its centerpiece. My role in this project was very multi-faceted, although mostly focusing on design. My duties ranged from completing the master plan study, concept design for an elevator tower, and up through design development of the Kimmel Pavilion.

Tasked with mapping the 30 year development plan, we worked in conjunction with CASE Design to utilize Revitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BIM capabilities to construct a 3D spatial/programming model that in real time could accurately calculate the program of the current conditions, as well as play through the various building options for each of the seven proposed phases. Existing buildings and conceptual growth make up a kit of parts that can be plugged into the SRWHQWLDO VLWHV RI GHYHORSPHQW FUHDWLQJ D Ę?H[LEOH tool to be used by the architect and the client to fully understand the medical centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth potential. I was one of two employees working full time on this master plan and among many other aspects was in charge of working with CASE Design to create and manage the Revit Model.

Sited in the central courtyard of the complex, the elevator cabs will include windows that provide a view of the city and river during the ride. My role involved doing a series of facade studies during the concept design phase. Working one on one with a design associate, we discussed the idea of a pixilated pattern of glass that responded to a need for increased shading at the top. From here I investigated panel sizes/ratios and surface patterns through creating elevation drawings, 3D renderings, and elevator cab animations so that each aspect of overall identity and user experience was fully considered. frit glass _ 1
