ARTS & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTER Associate Professor William Williams Brooklyn, NY
Fall 2006
This project adds four new elevators sited in the central courtyard of the hospital complex. The elevator cabs include windows that provide a view of the city and river during one’s ride. The resultant opening of this typically solid face provides a unique opportunity to create a new element of activity within the courtyard, as well as create an exciting user experience in the elevator. My role involved doing a series of façade 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 was fully considered in order to create a successful design.

TRAVELS & SKETCHES Copenhagen, Denmark
Fall 2007
During my semester abroad, I partook in two semester long journal sketching courses providing a real chance improve one’s visual and analytical sketching techniques. With most sessions involving trips through the city, we completed studies that ranged in scale from the detail of a hinge to a major portion of Copenhagen. We honed our skills through drawing mental maps, field measured sections and plans, comparative studies, serial visions, vignettes, and material sketches. Also, the way we placed these drawings on the page together was just as carefully considered. ryan b. lewandowski / academic

VESTERBRĂ˜ ROW HOUSE Professor Eva Frederikson Copenhagen, Denmark
Fall 2007
In a unit divided, this specific study of a Danish row house investigates the slicing of a private boundary to create a visual transparency while still maintaining a sense of security. This is accomplished by weaving the circulation around translucent vertical planes, which conceal the private spaces in the back.

MASTER PLAN TRAIN + BUS STATION Associate Professor Dean Abernathy w/ S. Mitchell & S. Jemec Ollantaytambo, Peru
Spring 2008
A semester long investigation of Peru that focused on the threats resulting from increased tourism in the Sacred Valley. The rural town of Ollantaytambo sits at a critical juncture between the bus and rail system and faces the greatest international pressure. The intent is to understand and improve upon the current infrastructure to preserve the town’s unique character and history. Designed in collaboration with two classmates, the new station is situated down river of the town and becomes apart of the landscape, reminiscent of Incan terracing, which utilizes modern local materials and construction techniques. Tied back into town through a redesigned transportation network, its open flow into the landscape becomes a node ready for future development.

PARAMETRIC RAPID PROTOTYPING Associate Professor Earl Mark
Spring 2008
The intent of this course was to learn the underlying principles of parametric modeling and CNC fabrication. A lamp shade project created by a mathematically derived surface inspired my final project, a study of creating focal points within a wall structure. By creating a point of influence, the wall structure can shift it’s directionality while maintaining a set form.

ROME REBORN BOOTH Associate Director Dean Abernathy Los Angeles, CA
Summer 2008
In a summer long design/build project with a former classmate, the concept of transparency is used to display both the structure of the design and the international technology used to create the exhibited Rome Reborn project. Given two weeks, the pieces were constructed offsite and brought in for installation, requiring that they be light weight and of fast efficient construction methods.

My role involved doing a series of faรงade 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 in order to create a successful design.
