PROJECT OVERVIEW
Objective to design a temporary residence for a family of four displaced due to natural disaster. Modular design was researched and utilized to develop a structure conducive to mass production and construction in a time of emergency. Foam blocks were used to develop space configuration and final design was presented through drafted axonometric diagrams and final model.

FORM
Farshid Moussavi’s french apartment building, Les Jardins De La Lironde, combines an orthogonal interior plan with organically fluid facade to form a juxtaposition of design elements. This concept was abstracted to form the basis of a conceptual pavilion.

ERIE CANAL MUSEUM CIVIC | SENECA FALLS, NY | 12.11.18 CLASS: STUDIO III ADVISOR: DAVID CARLI WORK TIME: 14 WEEKS CONTRIBUTION: INDIVIDUAL
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The objective was to design a new Erie Canal Museum for a class-selected site in Seneca Falls, NY. This was my first full-semester project involving deliverables for a comprehensive site & building design. The focus on an interpretive exhibit presented a valuable opportunity to practice designing at the human scale and develop our ability to effectively communicate abstract ideas through sketch, consider diverse points of view, produce accurate documentation and to communicate the iterative schematic process both graphically and verbally.
BACKGROUND
From the start, the project topic was extremely familiar to me as I have lived near the Erie Canal almost my entire life. The familiarity fueled my inspiration to apply countless personal observations from my youth to an applicable cause which ultimately provided depth to my proposed solutions.

FINAL PARTI: Connection
The most significant concept that can be taken from the Erie Canal is connection. It connected countless cities throughout the Northeast and today, it provides an opportunity for connection as communities come together to enjoy the canal on a daily basis. The concept of Bridging was most closely incorporated into the final parti.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The assignment was to use A Field Guide to American Houses to choose and research a specific American style house, then to design a family residence on an open lot in Alfred, NY. The design of the house should take into account several elements unique to the particular style, with specific attention to architectural aesthetics, detailing, room layout, furniture, materials, textures, site characteristics and time period.

STYLE OF ITALIANATE
IDENTIFYING FEATURES:
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION
The Italianate Style was a distinct 19th-century phase of historical Classical Architecture. The style was first developed in Britain in the early 1800’s by John Nash, who derived most of his inspiration from 16th-century Italian Renaissance architecture, which was inspired by Neoclassicism and Palladianism. These prominent styles were both closely derived from the classic Greek styles which is why Italianate architecture often includes elements like ornate pediments and Corinthian columns.

SODUS POINT TOWN HALL CIVIC | SODUS, NY | 05.07.19 CLASS: STUDIO IV - HISTORIC PRESERVATION ADVISOR: JOY CARLSON WORK TIME: 3 WEEKS CONTRIBUTION: TEAM (2-PERSON) **All individual work unless otherwise noted
Project overview The assignment was to choose a building in the town of Sodus Point, NY to renovate, revitalize or repurpose. My team of two decided that the Village Hall was in need of renovation. Much of the building is not structurally sound or code compliant. Some of the major elements of consideration for this design proposal includes a more integrated accessible entrance that is not visually obtrusive, as well as the incorporation of a multi-purpose banquet hall that can be used for a variety of events throughout the year. It was also requested that the design include plenty of storage space and open floor plan office area.

Current Facade
Historical Relevance The current village hall of Sodus Point was originally known as The Guild Hall. The guild hall was built by the women of the Episcopal Church. The purpose of the guild hall was “holding guild meetings, fairs, concerts and entertainments and also to furnish a place for the young people, regardless of denomination, to gather for all innocent amusements and recreations.” The building was often rented out for “traveling troupes, societies, dancing schools, and elections.” In 1955 the building was sold by the church to John Buzzell. John Buzzell changed the building into a laundromat. The building was sold to the village of Sodus point in 1982. It would become the Sodus Point Village Hall. Source: https://historicsoduspoint.com/

PROPOSED STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION
CURRENT CONDITION
OUR VISION
CONCEPT VISION
Spurred by a booming oil industry in the late 1800’s, Bolivar was once a prosperous and affluent community. However, the town’s steady economic and demographic decline over the past several decades has caused it to succumbed to deterioration and abandonment. Our goal is to propose practical design interventions such as new public spaces, branding, improved infrastructure, and historic preservation in order to effectively showcase Bolivar’s cultural heritage and to re-establish a sense of pride in the community.
STREETSCAPE DESIGN
The redesign of Main Street is one of the most important components of the proposal as it covers the largest area and defines the character of the village. The proposed redesign includes two green barriers on either side of the street for trees and vegetation, improved parallel parking lane with new street markings, two-way bike lane, integrated parklets, outdoor seating, and new street lights with branded town banners.
21
INTEGRATED PARKLETS
The addition of integrated parklets livens up Main Street by providing a uniquely public area for socialization and relaxation. Two identical parklets are proposed for the village as shown in the streetscape diagram.
Key Streetscape Major intersec�ons
AESTHETIC UNITY
To achieve a sense of unity on Main Street, architectural interventions are proposed for the main strip of commercial establishments as well as several other areas along Main Street as shown below:
CURRENT CONDITIONS
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
The preservation of historic storefronts is crucial to retaining Bolivar heritage and to re-establishing pride in the community. Proposed interventions of this commercial strip focus on the refurbishment of historical elements and the design of modern storefronts with emphasis on facade transparency.
CONCEPT
Italianate detailing New brick facade
Historically accurate Italianate windows Greater storefront transparency Use of modern materials
PROPOSED Design & rendering by Aboubacar Camara
CHEF GRILL OUTDOOR SEATING
The new design for the Chef Grill seating area has been revamped to encourage connection with Main Street while maintaining its private atmosphere. The area includes a louvered pavilion, green walls and plants to promote business and serve as a ‘hotspot’ for locals.

While currently only a science-fiction concept, the idea of faster-than-light speed as been studied by NASA under the name of Alcubierre Drive. The concept of the new buffalo theater, Premier at the Final Frontier, derives its form from the graph of this phenomenon which depicts the volumetric distortion of spacetime, as shown above.

WOODED JUXTAPOSITION MOTIF: Juxtaposition of horizontal building elements with vertical natural trees as visible from road. Use of glazing allows for high visibility for observation and public education.
02 OVERLAP
CONCEPT ELEVATION
GROWTH MOTIF: The growth of a tree is a metaphor for the start-up business. Like a tree, companies begin as a sapling. As it matures, it gains “rings” and “branches out” in its industry. The crossing of planks represent the business’ greatest potential where it can leave the incubator and increase in size and complexity. In this way, the curve represents both origin and strength.
03 LINEARITY
CONCEPT ELEVATION
NATURAL EFFICIENCY: As production is one of the functions of the incubator, the linear nature of a tree’s growth is used for exterior design as well as interior plan layout. Processes are laid out in order of manufacture to promote maximum production efficiency.
