Transfusing Redhook Fall 2010_ M. ARCH_Design Studio 3 Location: Redhook ,Brooklyn ,NY
This semester work was based around challenging traditional procedures and protocols through the development of and adaptable apparatus which inhibits a three dimensional aggregation of activity. This apparatus was derived from a series of diagrammatic investigations. The spatial articulation developed serves as a teen center adjacent to the existing Redhook Community Justice Center. Through our semesters work we have developed a unit of interface which evokes versatility while remaining constrained within itself as a singular object. Pulling the main circulation up and into the mixing chamber located in the heart of the site. This acts as the distribution interface which serves the community center. By utilizing the unit at drastically different scales we were able to create occupiable spatial articulations which serve as the four main hubs positioned on the site, which are then stitched together using a patterning of the units.

Textile Projection
Fall 2008_ Design Studio 5 Location: Niagara, NY The ideology behind my project for this semester dealt with the projection from a chosen pattern, which created a structural framework which could be used for the suspension of programmatic volumes. After the initial framework was produced, an analysis of environmental performative criteria was done. Using these environmental performance ideas the main programmatic volumes were introduced. In this case these volumes were an aviary for birds (air) and an aquarium for fish (water). I used my developed framework as a device which could suspend these volumes, while having all necessary support systems within the structure. The site was located .25 miles north of Niagara Falls (American side).

My project dealt exclu-
sively with shells. In my first set of precedents, each precedent used the shell in a different way, and exhibited a different relationship to ground. In each project, how the shells were located and developed was a driving force by which I set up rules which would allow me to make design decisions. These rules first dealt with three concentric shells, next, manipulating the shells along a center rotation point, and finally shifting the shells along an axis. Each sphere deals with these rules in different ways and has different relationships to ground
spheres Breif:Explore the investiga-
tion into the study of the sphere as a formal, programmatic,organizational, and symbolic archetype.The design methodology, identical for each project, is divided into two interrelated phases. First, an initial analysis of architectural precedents will be used as a way of uncovering architectural principles. In the second phase we used these principles and strategies to propose new architecture. This process was repeated three times, one for each project.
Sphere 1_Temple for three beliefs. The obstructions for Sphere I are as follows: -Three different independent points of access -The most central interior space of the sphere should be left unoccupied. -The three different ‘sacred’ spaces should be located centrifugally around the unoccupied center.

Old Fort Niagara Fall 2007 Design Studio 2 Location: Youngstown, NY
Semester objective: Design a new visitors center based. on concepts derived from original precedent analysis. My project took on a different approach by taking existing structure and adapting it to meet the new programmatic require ments. This provided as little disruption to the 300 year old fort as possible. Precedent: Bunker Valintin is a World War two uboat assembly bunker located in Farge Germany. The assembly bunker consists of 11 assembly stations which tightly fit between the 12 meter thick concrete walls. The circulation is which is carved out of these thick walls which surrounds the program, was the driving concept for my semesters work.

Woven Environments Design Competition_Spring 2010 Location: Luanda, Angola
The aim of this competition was to design a single family dwelling aimed at severely deprived families in Luanda. The goal of the project is to provide units that provide poverty reduction and the provision of adequate housing, infrastructure , health, safety, and basic services. For that purpose, the house unit needs to comply to our four self prescribed credentials. 1-Radically economical in cost 2-Include the possibility of evolutionary systems 3- Suited to the cultural, economic and social circumstances of the area 4-Able to weave into the urban fabric of the city
Strategies:
This project consists of two main strategies that intend to respond to the questions raised above. Both strategies work together in the urban and in the unit scale and they will not only enable the project to meet the essentials needed but they will provide additional values.
Strategy 1:
FOOT PRINT ECOLOGIES-INFRUSTRUCTURAL WALLS Our first approach to the proposal of a new urbanized area in Luanda is to maintain the natural or agricultural landscape. The design of the infrastructural wall, allows for all electric, water and sewage systems to be incorporated within the wall. Avoiding the impact on the natural ground will act as a noninvasive adaptable system which can be implemented with a gradual growth. The five basic functions of the walls are: 1. Carrying all sanitations and mechanical systems 2. Elevate the slab of the units from the natural ground in order to protect the interior from humidity and seasonal flooding. 3. Provide a stable support for the structure of the house. 4. Act as dividers of the outdoor domestic space,allowing areas to be filled in with soil farming 5. In uneven topography, the infrustrucural walls can be used as retaining walls, which can create terraces.
Strategy 2:
CUSTOMIZED ADAPTABILITY- THREE UNIT MODULES The basic layout of the 100sqm living unit consists of 3 modular units that are supported by the infrastructural walls. These modules are set up in the 250 sqm plot following a system where numerous variations and spatial configurations are possible. This allows the outdoor space to respond and perform to individual user needs.

Laboratory for Evolutionary Systems Design Studio 6_Spring 2009 Location: University at Buffalo Medical Campus
The site for this project was located on the University at Buffalo’s downtown medical campus. The programmatic constraints for this project consisted of a research facility for the study of social, biological, and technological networking. The development of the programmatic swarm as and evolutionary system, was the driving force behind formal and conceptual design decisions. The conception of programmatic swarm though a generation based algorithm yields many benefits. Using this systems as a means for both formal and programmatic organiztions and allows for a diversified program in plan, while maintaining continuity in section. Having a diverse programmatic plan in a research facility promotes social networking between different types of research. The continuity in section allows for the large requirement of servicing for each type of research to be integrated from floor to floor. Social Networking System

Site context The advantage of using programmatic swarming as a driving organizational device for the research facility is attaining a diversersified program in plan, while keeping programmatic continuity in section. Having a diverse programmatic plan in a research facility, promotes social networking between different types of research. The continuity in section allows for the large requirement of servicing for each type of research to be integrated from floor to floor.

This competition is part of a research project called “Crowd sourcing Public Participation in Transit Planning. The concept of this bus stop is the use of a standardized kit of parts. This allows the station to be adapted in size for various locations. It is equipped with solar panels to make it fully sustainable. The front facade is positioned close to the curb to maximize safety for waiting passengers. The curved facade prevents pedestrians from waiting to close to the street while Concept Sketch buses arrive and depart. The station is equipped with L.E.D information boards at both ends of the station, a ticket vending located in the middle of the structure, and serves as a LAN Wifi hotspot. There is a ledge for awaiting passengers to utilize. The structure extends to the rear which creates additional covered space for vending of food and beverages and relief from inclement weather for passing pedestrians.

union station 2020 Project Team:, Kyle Renyolds, RyanGlick(section,renderings), James Lowder
We approached the rationalization of movement as an
opportunity to incorporate the urban design principles evident in burnhams 1909 plan for Chicago into our union station 2020. To accomplish this, we internalized urban planning principles to the interior of the architectural object through the conception of a super lobby. Burnhams promenades and boulevards, essentially civic spaces that were not privatized, inspired the super-lobby model of linking public programs located outside the context of the commercial institutions while simutaniously supporting commerce. To that end, the super-lobby is bound to the object in the service of commercial institutions, but also serves a civic purpose. The super lobby also allows us to embrace the programmatic complexity of the project. We abandoned the complex linear systems in favor of creating spaces that interweave civic,commercial, and utilitarian functions. Belong transcending plinths and towers in the design, the resulting overlap will support new social space in much the same way the burnham sought to do so a century ago.Innovative mixeduse design must be adaptable and sustainable in order to be relevant. The best way in which to support a livable, sustainable metropolis is to design a livable and sustainable infrastructure. We accomplished this by supporting current programmatic requirements, anticipating obsolescence, and designing a space that will adapt to future programmatic conditions. Rather than burying parking underground, we incorporated it into the design through complex program juxtapositions. One can imagine a future in which the ubiquity of the automobile is no more. Particularly in the context of a densely populated urban center. rather than allow fifty percent of the interior space of union station 2020 to be rendered obsolete, the open floor slabs are flexible in order to accommodate evolving programmatic requirements

Den[city] Design Studio 6_Fall 2009 Location: Buffalo, NY The focus of this semester is comprehensive architectural design. The synthesis of concept and making. For this project my goal was to bring private outdoor space to a high density urban condition. Along with the 24 residential units required, a mixed-use program of our choice was also required. I created an urban topography which becomes a mediator between public(theatre & galleries) and private space(housing) along with drawing in the public from Chippewa avenue. This mediator not only separates two different programs via a spatial buffer in section, but also allows for usable green space which separates the residential lobbies in plan. The for the mixed-use public space, I chose an exterior amphitheater which has covered and uncovered space along with interior gallery spaces bordering it at the north and south end. Creating a level of transparency between these public spaces both in plan and section was a design decision which was pointed at maintaining fluid public circulation.
