Tower 1 Site connection
This is a highly complex and integrated design for a vibrant, urban block in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. Inspiration from turbulence path flows and behaviors guided the organizational logics of the site, landscaping, and towers. Techniques such as nesting, embedding, bifurcating, and interlocking are implemented to allow various programs and qualities traverse the site in a very organic, yet orderly manner.

Tower 2 Delicate Facade
Top Site View
Tower 1 Muscular Facade
Although it is apparent that the two main towers are within the same family of architecture, they each have their own aesthetic sensibilities and organizational logics. The taller tower has a muscular-like facade system that actually penetrates the building core. Its facade pulls into the center providing structural bracing for the facade and the building as a whole. In contrast the second tower has a very delicate facade that hangs elegantly from the upright building core. These towers each contain very different types of spaces from each other in both quality and organization, as they are emergences of different parts of the site.
Amphitheatrel Shopping Center Car dropoff
Central Pond
Vehicular, pedestrian, and subway systems flow into the site and evolve into various architectures, such as an amphitheater, museum gallery, pond, and three towers. The three towers each carry distinct aesthetic personalities and develop their own structural and organizational logics.
Site Logics : Turbulence
The primary path flows that instigate the turbulence flows on this Japan block correspond with the fastest movement integrated in the project - vehicular circulation. From these primary flows emerge turbulence eddies and smaller swirl movements that correspond with slower movements and programs across the site, such as pedestrian paths, garden spaces , an amphitheater, a gallery, and a pond. Because of their unique arrangements within the system, each space can embody highly contrasting qualities from the others.

SPRING 2011 CRITIC : ALI RAHIM
Located in a high fashion district of Omotesando-Tokyo, Japan, this urban club draws inspiration directly from its eclectic surroundings. Five spaces including bars, lounges, VIP capsules, a smoking room, and a dance floor each with distinct qualities and atmospheres were developed through lighting, material shifts, and accumulation.

Club Bar Station
This Tokyo night club hosts many extremely contrasting atmospheres for different uses throughout the day and night. At night, teenage clubbers are encouraged to take the alley entry to the loud and exciting spaces where the bar and dance club areas are. These spaces are highly saturated with color, contain edgy geometry, and use directed streak and point lighting.
Izakaya-Club Connection
The dance club has a visual connection to the izakaya bar space above through four glass apertures. Though these two spaces host very differing environments, they influence each other’s atmospheres to create interaction between the inhabitants using the bar and the club. Sharp edges become more rounded and flat colors become more gradiented.

The izakaya bar holds a special role in the building , serving as a segue between the nighttime and daytime activities within the building. Its geometry morphs into the next space where the atmosphere and formal techniques transform yet again.

Silky-Ruffly Spaces
This silky space has very fluid geometry that wraps the space without any corners. The elements gather and bifurcate to create this ephemeral and calming atmosphere.
Nested Connection
A ruffly space is nested within a silky space. These are both soft spaces using back lighting, but the silky space has cool lighting, while the ruffly uses warm lighting. They are each able to maintain their own individual atmospheres because of their drastic scale differences.
Ruffly Space
Silky Space
This building serves as a cultural beacon in the fashionable Omotesando district of Tokyo. Its exciting and unique facade and interiors make it a significant landmark to host the intense culture and nuisances of Japanese culture.

Les Jardins
SPRING 2011 CRITIC : ALI RAHIM
Building Exterior
Les Jardins is a luxury Manhatta residence that embraces how forwardthinking, sustainable technologies can promote a refreshing and green lifestyle. With green wall glass atriums that run throughout the spacious units, you can experience the serenity of nature within your own unit, without dealing with any of its maintenance.
The playful facade is a technological design that incorporates thin solar film to bring the energy of the sun directly to your own home. Lower your electric bills while enjoying the benefis of renewable energy!

Emergent Transformation

FALL 2010 CRITIC : ALI RAHIM
This transformation surface is designed to change in quality, organization, color, and scale. As the surface transforms, its affects change with it. When applied as a retail facade, one end of the transformation caters to street fashion while the opposite end caters to luxury couture.

This design proposal provides“healthness� facilities for the Philadelphia community, promoting physical, intellectual, as well as social health for its members. Water is used as a variable agent that either unifies or separates program spaces throughout the project. The collection, dispersion, or absence of water are events that either sharpen or blur the boundaries between zones that are used for different activities. Such dynamics are made possible by the assignment onto the site of several surface textures of different permeabilities to water.

The project developed from a series of 2D and 3D ventures. Water research and site analysis allowed for the production of infographic iterations and variations. These were then interpreted into a series of various 3D conceptual models. Such exercises then inspired the push-and-pull relationship between the landscape and architecture, as well as the assignment of program and surface textures across the site.

During the spring and fall seasons, rain is collected at the lowest points of the site, as well as in the site’s most permeable surfaces. As ponds form and marshes grow taller and taller reeds, boundaries between spaces are sharpened, and the center’s visitors are keenly aware of the various surface textures living on the site. In contrast, during the summertime, the marsh reeds and ponds gradually dissapear, blurring many spaces back together again.

ARCH601 FALL 2009 CRITIC : BRIAN PHILLIPS
Extensive site research was conducted on multiple scales, analyzing Philadelphia economic housing data as well as people flows and patterns. Studying the traffic flows of different people types was significant since the site acts as a bridge connecting two streets with very differing characteristics. A number of infographics were created to inspire the program for the site, a live-work theatre for dancers.

The architecture was informed by both contextual and programmatic concerns. Traffic flows through the site induced the smooth, linear nature of the building. Foot traffic through the site is encouraged by the building’s small footprint, only touching the ground with two feet, the dance theatres. Meanwhile, stripping connections promote vertical interactions.

Establishing interconnectivity within the building is made possible by creating stripped connections between floors. Depending on the degree of movement a program suggests, the strips vary in size accordingly. Spaces such as the dance studio and stage have a high degree of stripping. The private residences at the top are enclosed by a mesh skin., whose pattern varies with the amount of the openness required within each unit..

Blooming Transformation
602 SPRING 2010 CRITIC : HINA JAMELLE
The concept for this blooming design was inspired by the qualitative transformations that occur within Carbon as it transforms from granite into diamond.
Two sets of blooming pods transform and grow up the glass cage system to produce a variety of different types of units within the building. On the ground floor the pods root into the ground and flare to create auditorium spaces. As they bloom upwards they transform into conference rooms and finally luxurious residences.
