WESTFIELD ARCHITECTURAL REP. WITH QAD AT THE PORT AUTHORITY Workshops analyzing events at the Oculus, WTC References available upon request.

Aug ‘10 - May ’15

Various Events at the Oculus, WestďŹ eld, WTC

Notes & Location

The Oculus Level C2, Downtown NY 1968 BC, Occupancy Use Varies per Event

Site

Port Authority

The Oculus is known for its elegant atrium. It connects both sides of WestďŹ eld Mall, the NYC Subways & the Path trains.

Filing with the Port is a different experience than ďŹ ling with the DOB. The process is much more hands on.

The main space is also used for events.

The Quality Assurance Division often questioned many of our design and ďŹ ling choices, which made me a stronger architect and designer.

Jurisdiction The Port Authority

Responsibilities

As the architectural project manager, I collaborated directly with our in-house engineer to complete the extensive number of architectural and engineering sets from start to ďŹ nish.

Challenges & Growth

Work Samples Sheena Dee Singh

Such grand venues bring high-end clientele with their marketing teams providing project ideas. I would reach out to event producers and fabricators to gather all required information for both the engineering and architectural ďŹ ling sets.

646-705-5733 s.sheenadee@gmail.com

These would then need to be enhanced, often requiring design changes to be ďŹ led as per Port Authority guidelines. The clients wouldn't always support these updates. This back and forth led to gorgeous and safe projects, while improving my communication and problem solving skills.

Rolling Loud Music Festival

Reaching occupancy desires is often easy in a tent like this where we can chose to create multiple exits. The challenge was making sure everyone is comfortably seated and ﬁt in the space.
