THE BODY AND THE EARTH
this project calls for a final resting place for three bodies to be located on the site. this site would then act as a public memorial ground, where visitors are encouraged to interact with the space.
The Body an the Earth
The project began with an analysis of the human body and how it can be geometrically constructed by developing a set of steps that would recreate a part of the body. A surveying tool was then developed that would be able to be used at the site and the measurements recorded by the tool would then be used throughout the project. The measurements obtained from the site visit were then analyzed and graphed to form the piece of land that is to manipulated to create the spaces needed.

The Body and the Earth
As an initial design move, the earth was manipulated by carving out a space using the surveying tool’s rotate, step and repeat method of surveying. The final design utilized another approach to cutting and displacing the land. Three sections of the site were cut into and flipped. Each moment within the space created was analyzed by creating a sectional model that pin-pointed every change within the project.

The Body and the Earth
The varying slopes of the surface of the ground act as openings into the underground space. These slopes create different experiences within the space. The space below the surface acts as a very enclosed, constricted and claustrophobic setting with different lighting and spacial characteristics. The surface, on the other hand, provides an open, uncluttered and free space. The purpose of the project was to provide for a variety of experiences with a single move made to the earth.

THE LIVING WALL
This project was a combination of group projects sited together to create a temporary living space. Each team worked together to produce a design and a full scale construction of the project.
The Living Wall
The project started as a cube that had to be cut and manipulated with a simple action. The project should be able to be returned back into a cube. This module was called the ARK due to the various arcs making up the cut and their visibility in the conal nature of the final design. The Living Wall was sited in Griffis Sculpture Park and was there for two years before it was taken down. It was often times used as a playground by children and a resting place for adults.

The Living Wall
1. Axonometric of Structural Framing
The living wall was to be built entirely at the studio and then be made ready for transportation and final assembly on site. The ARK was broken up into three major modules; the left side, the right side, and the top. These were built separately and then bolted together. Each of the projects making up the living wall had to be able to comfortably fit a group of six people in a laying position.

The projects were designed to be long-lasting. Sloped roofs, floors, and sleeping areas were a necessity for proper drainage. The project was structured using standard lumber sizes; 2x3, 2x4, 2x12 and clad using 1/2” plywood that was coated with polyurethane. The material usage was planned and executed very carefully in order to prevent any waste or left-over material.

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT
This project started by analyzing a precedent house. A certain concept of the house was further developed and then manipulated in order to create a new architecture from the existing idealogies.
The Past and the Present
The project started with an analysis of a residence, the Schroder House by Gerrit Rietveld. Its design was heavily influenced by De Stijl. The corner became the focal point for the project. The Schroder House contained unique corner conditions; corners that moved past one another, crisscrossed, and disappeared. Many of these corners were located within the house, analyzed and used further in the project.

22
The Past and the Present
The rotated planes allow for segmentation. Some segments ay be left open and others closed off.
The dissolution of the corner can provide opportunities to expand a space.
The planes can be used as partitions or for structural reasons.
A corner condition on the exterior begins to alter the interior.
The original corner becomes completely dissolved; the corner may act as a threshold between two spaces.
The corners found within the Schroder House were used to create a new space. By rotating the planes that make up the corner around its axis, a new space is created. This new space is essentially, the anti-corner. The rotation about that corner causes the corner to completely disappear. The space that the plane has taken up in the rotation, becomes a new volume of space added to the original house.

VERTICALITY THROUGH HORIZONTALITY
This project started by creating a bundle of assorted objects. The purpose was to reassess these objects spatially and develop a welcome center and theatre for the Fort Niagara site.
Verticality Through Horizontality
To start, an assortment of objects were collected and taped together into a bundle. The bundle was then cut in half in order to reveal its section. Several studies were made using the bundle. Its properties were explored through solid, linear, and planar modeling. Both, hand and digital renderings were made using the section of the bundle to further study the spatial qualities that these objects have.
29
the bundle
30
Verticality Through Horizontality
The bundle contained objects that were supporting and objects that were supported. The object loads, along with gravity, force the spaces to become more and more dense towards the bottom. Thickness and density used together show the increasing weight moving towards the bottom. The chosen site for the project was Fort Niagara. The project was sited outside of the fort wall as to not disturb the historic significance of the site and so the fort acts as a background for theatrical performances.

32
Verticality Through Horizontality
The center of the theater passes over a valley of one of the man-made land fortification zones. The entrances are on either side of this valley. The welcome center itself is used seasonally, during the warmer months of the year. The crisscross stacking creates openings to the exterior. The building is as much solid as it is void. A standard unit of wood is used to build up spaces. The units are stacked one on top of the other in order to give an increasing thickness to the spacing from bottom to top.

AEGIS SUPERVISION FACILITY
This project focused on the design of a minimum to maximum security correctional facility that would house 100 inmates. The design includes an aspect of a public interface with the inmates.
Aegis Supervision Facility
The project began by studying conditions at the Auburn Correctional facility. Studies of human and camera vision were also conductd. Most prisoner crimes and fatalities happened in blind spots to guards and security cameras. The Aegis Facilities would be designed to eliminate as much blindspots as possible. The studies conducted on the Auburn Prison and blindspots would then be applied to a residential neighborhood in Lovejoy, Buffalo.

ADMINISTRATION
The Aegis Supervision Facility is a medium security prison which attempts to provide as many amenities as possible that the inmates would be missing from the outside world.
Staff Offices
EDUCATION Classrooms Library
The public interaction happens within the learning facilities of the prison. The inmates have a chance to learn from and interact with visitors in the recreational, classroom, and workshop spaces.
PARKING
The workshops teach inmates different skills by calling on local proffesionals from the automotive, textile, wood and metal working fields to come in and teach these skills to inmates for possible careers upon release.

Aegis Supervision Facility
The program was broken into four separate buildings; inmate use, workshop and classroom, medical, and recreational buildings. Three guard towers were placed in each corner on the site. The buildings were manipulated so that there would be no blind spots from these towers. The most secure program, the workshop, was placed in an area that can be seen by all towers. The building section shows a jog at the lower end of the building. This is for cameras to be placed without having any blindspots.

The building is constructed with a column and beam system, a concrete core, and a structural brick wall at the back of the building. The services are run directly from the mechanical room to the workshop and down behind the egress stairs to be distributed into the office spaces. The facade is clad completely in glass with a horizontal louver system implemented to stop direct sunlight, but to maximize the amount of daylight penetrating the space.

Locavore: GROW. COOK. EAT. LIVE.
The ground floor contains the grocery store, kitchen, and dining areas. Visitors receive instructions from their chef and gather the needed ingredients from the roof garden and grocery store. They cook their own meals and can enjoy the meal in an adjacent courtyard, fireplace seating, or a more intimate setting. The restaurant is used to raise awareness of the possibility of urban gardening and also teaches visitors skills that can be applied at their own homes.

The entire building’s south facade is covered by a glass skin. This skin acts as a greenhouse and prolongs the growing season of the public roof garden and the residents’ gardens. The roof garden supports a variety of different vegetables that are planted and harvested at different times. The courtyard spaces contain fruit trees. The skin has an operable perimeter and glass panels so that is can be used to retain heat in the winter and allow for cross ventilation in the summer.
