Rhino 5 | Illustrator | Photoshop | Hand Modeling Affordable Housing | Fall 2018
PROJECT BRIEF The project will address the current affordable housing crisis in New York City by questioning the cycle of demolition in urban growth, instead of seeking to promote a model of development which allows landlords to increase the rental capacity of their property without raising rent or displacing current residents. Particularly, what might a city look like if we could build up? DESIGN INTENTION The design intention attempts to modularize the living space to allow for future growth. By providing a single 10’ x 10’ unit at its smallest scale, the single unit can be combined and recombined to create any arrangement of living spaces at larger scales. The setting provides itself with the opportunity to connect with its context by standing on two public program foot prints at the ground level and gradually becomes more of a private space for its dwellers.

PROJECT BRIEF The project incorporates a mixed use program that includes a restaurant, learning facilities for cooking and an outdoor program encompassing several different types of ecosystems. The program encourages a farm to table approach to food, providing the user a direct relationship to the food they consume. DESIGN INTENTION Given its isolated context in the small, historic town of Cazenovia, the project aims to create hybridized spaces within its site. The hybrid spaces allow for interaction within the multitude of programs laid out over the site. The hybrid moments present themselves in the form of combination of materials, architectural elements, spaces and program. As the occupant moves from one space to another, there is a opportunity to redefine conventional spaces. By combining programs and spaces, what is created is a blurred threshold that does not identify or conform with either program. This allows for people to experience spaces as a continuous journey rather than a series of isolated spaces.

PROJECT BRIEF The project will seek to extract a new tectonic logic through the development of context and program into a habitable structure. The mixed used program is intended to provide studio and gallery facilities. Classrooms will offer spaces for after-school art programs and other arts-related outreach. Supporting educational ambitions, a library is included on the list of functions. In aggregate, this program offers a civic arts opportunity for the exchange of ideas and production of creative work.

DESIGN INTENTION The designed project intends to provide inhabitable spaces that function separately but are still connected through their relation with one another. A visual connection is established between parallel studio spaces on one side of the site and gallery space on the other. Although, largely an inward looking structure, the community plaza space welcomes the surrounding community to step into the space and engage with the building.

Hand Drawing | Graphite Pencil Crouse College | Fall 2016
The series of images explore the spacial sequence on Crouse College on the Syracuse University campus. The study intends to exhibit the natural progression through the building, stopping at key moments that characterize the building. Beginning at the monumental entrance with a series of stairs leading up to the building. Following the progression with a series of interior staircases and hallways that flow from one another, stopping at the central staircase that is demarcated with a replica of the statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Lastly, ending with yet another grand view of the building from the opposite end of the building.
