college of mount saint vincent student residence hall bronx, ny The campus of the College of Mount Saint Vincent is located in the northwest corner of the Riverdale section of The Bronx, New York, adjacent to the Yonkers border. The Catholic liberal arts college is located on 70 acres of rolling lawns and wooded hills overlooking the Hudson River. It was founded by the Sisters of Charity of New York. The rich landscape and the complex history of the college lend to its distinct character within an ubran setting. One of the challenges that the college faces is the disparity between its educational and religious buildings that are connected by an irregular system of pathways. The design of a student residence hall was intended to resolve the issues of scattered buildings and the abundance of vehicular circulation. The residence hall negotiates between the beauty of the natural landscape as well as the built institutions of the campus.

Harlem school of the arts arts school intervention Harlem, NY Collaboration with: Mary Rizaldo Through a series of vertical and horizontal perforations placed within the building, The award-winning HSA courtyard, which is currently hidden behind a Brutalist exterior, will be revealed to the community of Harlem. The central courtyard becomes an integral part of the daily functions of the different artistic disciplines taught at HSA, thus making it the ‘Heart’ of HSA. This void, along with the existing and proposed voids all work together to create more functional Indoor and outdoor spaces that communicate to passersby.

Reaction and Bifurcation properties of water Collaboration with: Changyoul Han In preparation for designing a bathhouse, we were given the task of abstracting a characteristic of water and creating a three-dimensional representation of the abstraction. After studying a series of stills of water in various conditions, we identified two key properties: the tendency of water to react to forces and the tendency for water to bifurcate.

contextual submergence Urban Bathhouse harlem, NY To conclude the study of bathhouses, we were asked to design a community indoor swimming pool for the community of Harlem. The site given is the parking lot between 128th St. and Convent Ave. There is a drop off of Convent which cuts 128th. For this public pool, it was important to integrate the context of the community within the design. The floor plates of the structure extend to either intersecting streets, thus creating a visual and physical connection between the two parts of the site. The facets of the building were inspired by the inherent structure of the topography, beyond the context of the surrounding buildings. Thus, the bathhouse reflects the language of the topography, which dictates the shifting of the Manhattan grid, and in turn, reflects back on the formation of this unique site.

The site on which the bathhouse sits on is bound by the orthogonal layout of the Manhattan grid and the original topographic characteristics of the island. This model is a parametric study of the formal elements of the site’s topography

garden ax hand-tool exercise In order to investigate the relationship between the body and a tool, we were assigned the task to study a garden tool. I studied the ax, which is a simple tool that requires a very specific range o movement in order for the intended act of the tool to take place. In order to use the ax, the dominant hand is placed near the head of the ax. This hand serves to guide the place that the ax hits. The less dominant hand sit on the bottom of the shaft and acts as the pivot for the act. These movements are activated which create the rotational ax movement.

Mathias klotz’s Reutter House Precedent study cachagua, chile Collaboration with: Sino Mukhitdinov The Reutter House is a summer home located near the coast of Chile. The house is considered an exercise in balance and tension, both structurally and programmatically. A central keel sits in the middle of the house, which holds the support programs of the home. In addition it acts as a structural support for the primary programs of the house. The main volume, which holds the shared spaces, cradles the intimate volume, which holds the intimate bedrooms. In terms of material, the keel is constructed using concrete while the cantilevered volumes are largely made up of wood.

Redefining Controlled space exploration of an interface An interface is the point where two systems meet and interact. The idea for this interface study was inspired by the precedent study of the Reutter House and the relationship between controlled and uncontrolled movement within the house. I intended to create an interface that would allow movement to flow more easily and is still controlled. In order to do that, I distorted the volumes, creating an arrangement of accessible spaces with inaccessible spaces, which would then naturally create controlled movement.

Measure of a tide weather station RiverSide Park, NY As the final part of the semester, we were assigned to design a weather station. The allotted site was the northern part of Riverside Park, which sits adjacent to the Hudson River. While developing a strategy for a weather station, the idea of controlled/uncontrolled movement evolved into a strategy, which measures tide. I extracted the language of angled planes and created a system of angled accessible structures at various depths, which gradually become inaccessible as the tide rises.

The Boardwalk plane defining a place As the final component of the exploration of a boardwalk, I abstracted the idea of a single horizontal plane and redefined it into a plane that begins to lift and bend without losing the original surface. This resulted in an idea of beginning from a single surface, which, then, underwent a series of bends and folds to create a space for viewing and resting. The vertical components that wrap around and penetrate through the surface embody the vertical elements of a boardwalk, which support the surface and create spaces ‘above’ and ‘below’ the boardwalk.
