I am a Junior currently enrolled at Northeastern University pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture. My practical experience includes working as an intern at PM Group, where I gained valuable knowledge in both physical and digital design techniques. My aim is to further my education and skills by pursuing a Master of Architecture degree and becoming licensed. Additionally, I am interested in leveraging AI to design structures that promote environmentally responsible practices.

BPL BRANCH: NEXUS COMMUNITY RECONNECTION

Site: Boston, Massachusetts B

inStructor: Carl Dworkin

CONTEXT CONCEPT

The focus was on a site located on the edge between Boston Massachusset’s Chinatown and Leather District. In the past, these two districts were connected in a way. One that allowed for seamless interaction and growth between the two communities. As time passed, the two communities faced many challenges and eventually, a major automotive artery was placed in between the two, cementing the separation between the two communities.

I sought to reconnect the two in a manner that doesn’t take away from one party to give to another, but rather in a manner that allows the two communities to reconnect without disrupting the current modes of transportation in the area. By bridging the two together, the project is not only able to join the two districts, but also create new public space, encouraging both the connection of space and community.

URBAN HOUSING: VOIDSCAPE APARTMENTS

GENERATION OF PRIVACY WITHIN VOIDS

Site: Jarvis Pl., Boston, Ma, 02115

inStructor: Timothy Love

Hidden in Plain Sight

Urban development is dominated by an efficiency mindset that at times compromises the privacy individuals seek when living in their residences. I sought to re-capture this desire by implementing a solid versus void design language, placing privacy at the forefront of the apartment layout design. By designing in this manner, four layers of public to private spaces are created and defined by thresholds.

ARTISTIC COMMENTARY: HEA

HUMANITY’S EFFECT ON ART

claSS: Advanced Communications

inStructor: Kristian Kloeckl

By analyzing the ways humans interacted with art within the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, I sought to create immersive experiences that allow us to reflect on these interactions. Not only through the eyes of other humans, but also through the eyes of the art itself. This culminated in A museum that features three exhibitions, allowing us to immerse ourselves in these concepts. Ideas of the reproducibility of art, the maintained interest in it, and the inversion of the typical perception of engagement are present.

“If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.” -Bertolt Brecht

Exhibtion 1 - Paint or Word?

The first room acts as our introduction to the concept. This exhibition comments on the reality within museums where individuals enact three different methods of engagement. The first type will walk through exhibitions and look at the art while never stopping to read the text alongside the works. The second type of person will go to a piece of art and immediately begin reading the text next to the piece on display. The third type of person will go to the artwork, but rather than moving on, will read the text to the side as well. To represent these three categories, the art and text are displayed in three different ways. The first is a photo of the art without the text to the side of it, the second is an image of the text and art but rather than the art being larger, the text is, leaning further into this category of individual. The final arrangement has the art and text alongside each other at a typical ratio. We placed the examples so that as you move further in, the text becomes the more dominant item on display. This in combination with the growing room as your move further into it gives the individual the sense of a growing understanding.

Exhibtion 2 - Reproducability

The next exhibition discusses the reproducibility of artworks. In the digital age, it is extremely easy for visitors to capture the artwork they admire to share and spread. We emphasized the idea that each reproduced digital form undermines the value of the original. This is illustrated by the exposure of the artworks. The more they were photographed by the visitors, the more the artwork “fades away”. The final result is a visual representation of how often each artwork is photographed.

Exhibtion 3 - Last in Memories

Finally, the concept of the longevity of the art. Not dissimilarly to the previous diagram, we realize that people will photograph art and sculptures in museums, but rather than limiting their viewability, their popularity is what actually allows them to remain. Here, the lower engagement artworks fade away. The workers in higher positions tend to receive less engagement due to glare on them, and thus they fade. As shown here, this causes an interesting perspective shift that puts us in the shoes of curators now. Obviously, they want to include art that will draw in people. So when noticing certain pieces are perhaps not performing as well, then maybe it is time for them to fade and be replaced. Art is directly affected by our actions, as opposed to the typical thought that the relationship works the other way.

PROFESSIONAL WORK: REVIT DETAILING

CREATION OF THE NEW STANDARD

company: pm Group

SuperviSor: Philip Koeniger

Contributions to PM Group

I worked for six months at PM Group as an Architectural Intern. Many of the projects that I worked on involved aiding in the development of lab or manufacturing spaces for pharmaceutical, technological, and food processing companies. However, my greatest contribution to PM itself was the creation and development of a typical detail revit file. This file set up a standardized naming, detailing, and drawing scheme in Revit. This involved lineweight sizing, fill patterns, tagging formats, and naming structure. Development on this file has continued after I left, and is both being and will be used on current and future projects to reinforce the new PM Group standard look.
