The informal settlement of Armutlu faces imminent eviction. As one of several geçekondu [squatter settlements] in Istanbul, this community’s violent political history and numerous health and safety deficiencies make it a vulnerable target for generic redevelopment. In order to avoid a forced relocation to public housing projects, residents must address the physical and social deficiencies that would justify mass eviction.

This project, which proposes a series of improvements for the geçekondu, outlines a process by which the inhabitants upgrade their environment themselves. The improvements are systematically achieved as the result of interventions that grow in scale and scope as the project develops over a period of twenty to fifty years. The interventions have a cumulative effect, cultivating a sense of collective identity and strengthening local networks within the community.

Using this plan, the committee obtained funding for the proposed projects from a government ministry. Two arches were constructed to mark the town’s entrance, and a neglected water tank was covered in mosaic tile and converted into an inviting public park. My approach of involving the community in every step of the process from design to construction provided locals a sense of ownership they seldom experience.

Building on efforts to capitalize on an emerging tourist economy, I helped form a committee of local business owners and developed a strategic plan to avoid the consequences of rapid growth. On behalf of the tourism committee, I designed an urban improvement plan (above) of city beautification elements.

I began my Peace Corps service in May 2007. For the following two years, I lived and worked in Salcoatitán, a town of 5,000 inhabitants located in the coffee-producing highlands of western El Salvador. Working with local government and public institutions, I designed and managed projects in education, youth development, citizen participation, income generation, and the environment.

Crate & Barrel is an international retailer specializing in housewares and furniture. I created drawings, models, renderings, and design presentations for the company’s in-house architecture department. I also coordinated with real estate developers, construction firms, and local planning commissions.

The final undergraduate design studio is dedicated to the role of design to facilitate social action. Students are encouraged to explore design processes that transcend linear problem solving and question the spatial implications of community-based dysfunction.

Vacant shopping malls are ubiquitous icons of economic failure. This project transforms a dilapidated suburban mall near Detroit into a diverse forum for public engagement.

The building typology of the suburban mall is isolated and introspective. So too is that of the monastery. With the studio’s emphasis on resistance as a means of bringing change, I describe subtle changes aimed at subverting the current condition.
