New Rochelle Union Station
In collaboration with J. Begum, F. Messina, J. Huang, Y. Emir
New Rochelle is a commuter city located just north of the NYC’s northernmost border in the Westchester county. Majority of people commute using Metro-North commuter rail, as well as Amtrak. Current station can hardly be called one, more like couple of platforms. Since the station is located in the depression between the downtown and suburban uptown, it creates a division, which we will attempt to address. Following the recommended programm from the city of New Rochelle, we have created not only a better station, but spaces for people to gather and conduct civic and economic duties to liven up the city. 4

Fair by the Beach Adjustable temporary space to satisfy the commercial and recreational spatial needs of the Brighton Beach residents and visitors. The space is achieved by extending the boardwalk over the existing parking lot. The spaces can be enclosed completely or be freely open, with minimal structure to obscure the view. 10

In collaboration with J. Burgos
The site on the Audubon Terrace required us to address the issue of the accessability, both to the building and the rest of the historic site. Being part of the brick competition it was necessary to have masonry construction. Taking cues from early civil infrastructures, we used masonry continiously, erasing boundaries between walls and ceiling/floor.While addressing the site topography and limited area, we used multiple levels at different axis to maximize available area, those connections allowed for similtaneous experience, that is different depending on the viewers’ location.

North South Building Section
Linking Neighborhood Existing site conditions at the southern intersection of Convent Avenue and 128th Street prevent direct connection of two streets. The form of the intervention signifies transition; side adjacent to existing townhouses is of similar scale and utilizes familiar materials seen elswhere in the neighborhood, while the opposite end of the building is much larger and of different materials. 18

Interior Yard Rendering
Street Level Rendering
The interior side of the building is designed for the private residents, the yard is raised and the materials are more domestic. To better control the interior environment, the windows have operable shades, that residents can control when they wish to.
All apartments are accesible using the balcony, glazed nature of those walkways reduce the sound that come from the busy street below. Perforated brick wall on the southern end connects with existing masonry townhouses, yet remains unique to the building

42nd Street - Human parkway Collage of Taconic State Parkway, current 42nd Street and 1962 development proposal for the corridor. Collage reflects how over the past years vehicular traffic was given priority over the humans who occupy the streets. After the analysis 42nd Street features elevated walkways that connect to the surrounding buildings without touching the ground
22
Using Rhinoceros I’ve 3D visualized noise levels along 42nd Street between Times Square and Lexington Avenue.
This intervention is most likely to be one of the more plausible ones. The traffic on 42nd street is limited to quiet all electrric bus route and spans between 7th and Lexington avenues. Vehicle lacking cking muffler Since the bus only utilizes two lanes, the rest of the street would be converted to pedestrian Heavy Accelerating traffic - South and North green space with bike lanes. Another important feature is the use of bridges to seamlessly connect the street without interrupting either vehicle traffic of the avenues nor the pedestrian flow of the street. A small intervention on the scale of the city, it provides the most reduction in sound levels without astronomical costs.

Elevated walkways connect people with their destinations.Reduced noise and increased safety attract more people, which would cause other venues to connect to the system, increasing its’ usefulness. Being higher off the ground, walkway would provide new views of otherwise old New York, therefore becoming new atraction for tourists, therefore attracting more capital.

Weather Station Following a research aimed at understanding the Novoya Zemlya Effect phenomenon, I concluded that it takes place in the atmosphere of the polar regions and causes visual distortions due to presense of air of differenttemperatures in the atmosphere. To recreate the effect of visual distortion, I decided to use water of different temperatures enclosed with clear glass.Extensive sun study was conducted to harness all of the available light on the site. Performance area provides seating for visitors to enjoy the refracted views of the city, deeper, in the pool area visitors can enjoy the play of refractions and reflections in close proximity. 26

Precedent Study - Shroder House
In collaboration with J. Begum
In this project we closely studied Rietveld - Schröder House, built in 1924 in Utrecht, Netherlands. For the first part of the study, we focused on reproduction of drawings. The challenge was the conversion between Metric and Imperial systems of measurement. For the second part of the study we focused on the model of the house, because of the miniature size of the house we chose to make our model at 1/2” = 1’ scale. On the second floor, the walls were made movable, just like in the actual house.The house was a reaction towards the old way of thinking, it is devoid of ornamentation, which is replaced by color. The many balconies and large windows express the desire for connection to the outside. Moving walls representfunctionality and rationality of new architecture. 28

Dynamic Vegetation Systems - Building Integrated Green Wall In collaboration with F. Ali, J. Huang Buildings requare a lot of energy just to condition the interior suitable and comfortable to human needs. The loss happens when we have to admit “new� air, unconditioned air from the outside. The air maybe in single digits, or above hundred degrees, and to bring it to suitable temperature, we lose the energy. Using buildintegrated green walls we can reduce the need of exterior air and insted recycle the air we have already using the microorganisms that habitate in the roots of the plans. 30
IRRIGATION AND AIR SYSTEM
Since the cassettes act as a filter before the AHU, all air has to be filtered by them before it is reintroduced
Air purified by roots moves to the AHU in the p plenum beyond
Water is supplied as needed, with gravity based return, therefore requiring only one pump, to bring the water up.

Construction Technology 3 - Sustainable Cabin In collaboration with F. Ali Using our knowledge of construction methods, we we tasked with constructing a sustainable cabin in one of the provided climate zones. Throughout the semester we we adding layers of comprehension with the new information we learned, such as Sefaira analysis, light and sound calculations. Each time we had to adjust the model to make the whole project better. Therefore this was a good project to learn Revit, which allowed for maximum flexibility. 34

Photography My interest in photography came from my interest in trains, while attpting to capture “the rail action” the best way possible. I’ve self taught how to operate a DSLR to get the maximum out of it. I’ve used my skill both; professionally and casually. While at March Architects, in addition to mundane Revit work, I was able to document finished work. During my time away from school, (which was rare) I photographed both the cityscape and standalone works of architecture.
