01 Broad Channel Workademic academy Broad Channel, Queens, New York
Broad Channel is a low to mid income island neighborhood in between Queens and Rockway peninsula. The neighborhood is facing numerous resiliency and economical challenges with constant weekly flooding caused by rising sea-level. In addition, the lack of education and office spaces across the entire island, Broad Channel undergoes its critical transitional period. The “Workademic Academy” answers to the existing issues by incorporating a magnet school and co-working office into one resilient structure. The project aims to promote collaborations between students and professionals while providing public plazas that engages the community. The structure is designed to cope with flooding and storms which protects the entire block that’s behind the building from the rising sea level.

02 morphing network
02 morphing network Jeddah Economic City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Morphing Network is an academic project part of the spring 2018 visiting critic studio, taught by Karim Moussawer. The studio explored the rapid cultural and economical changes in Saudi Arabia. Site located at the Jeddah Economic City (under construction), one of the biggest planning project under Mohammad bin Salmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision 2030. The grand ambition of the JEC is to boost Jeddahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic growth especially targeted at the growing younger generations.
02 morphing network
inspiration The natural landscape of Suadi Arabia inspired the concept and the form of the project. The natural rock-scapes possess intriguing forms while creating interesting pathways for circulation and natrual shading. The mass and texture of the landscape gives the viewer an ant-like experience. The project captures the form and scale of the rockscapes to encourage curiosity and discover. The form also performs the perfect outdoor overhead shading which is essential for the harsh weather of Saudi Arabia.

circulation Network The Grasshopper script simulates human-like circulation behaviours over time and forms patterns or networks. The network reflects program usages and circulation hotspots which then can be analyzed and translated into design strategies and formal structure. The visualization of circulation network dictates the final physical form of the project which has the resemblance of Saudiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural rockscapes.

03 ascension Chelsea, New York City, United States
The Ascesion is an academic project part of Fall 2017 Studio, taught by Joseph Godlewski. The interest of the studio was to explore hotel typologies in the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan. The ambition of the Ascension is to criticize and rethink current burrial methods which is wasteful and not environmental friendly. The project attemps to metaphorically and literally push the bondary between life and death by adapting two â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;contradictingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programs (hotel and columbarium) together. As well as implementing passive ventilation and structural system inspired by the human body.

study model The site is located in Chelsea, Manhattan, at the intersection of 10th Ave and W 18th Street. The unique characteristics of the site is being across from the Highline and blocks away from the Hudson River. The challenge was to take elements of the Highline into desgin consideration as well as producing a building icon for the Manhattan skyline. The view deck located at the south-west of site sparked the initial idea of sloping the building to convey a line of sight. Additionally, considering the view to the Hudson River and rest of the Highline, the building has a open facade on the west side .

“Ascension” conceives unique dynamics between life and after-life by experimentation of merging two close yet unfamiliar components therefore suggesting that the distance between the two ‘opposites’ is actually much closer than we believe...

04 arrival Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY, United States
Arrival is one of two academic projects part of the Spring 2017 studio , taught by Joseph Louie. Located on the Everson Museum Plaza in Syracuse, New York. The project wish to bring attention to current eviornmental problems by recreating different lanscapes of Upstate New York in two pavillions. Adjacent to the Everson, displaying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the pavillion juxtapose art and artifacts being displayed in museums. Project argues that nature is also a form of art and should be repected and protected the same way.

05 city of aggregation Rome, Italy
The City of Aggregation was an academic project part of Fall 2016 studio, taught by Daniele Profeta. The location of the project takes place in Rome, Italy, across from the MAXXI Museum. City of Aggregation was inspired by the agreggated Roman cities most notablily highlighted by the Nolli plan. As the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title suggests, City of Aggregation explores the method of utilizing aggregation to construct spacial and circulative narratives.

06 mueller community Austin, Texas, United States
The Mueller Community Energy Efficiency Study is an ongoing research project conducted by the Performative Praxis Lab (PPL), led by Dr. Tarek Rakha. The research conducts series of urban analysis on the Mueller Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy consumption and use simulation tools to test design changes that would potentially improve energy efficiency in the neibourhood. My role in the research comprises mainly of urban scale energy simulation (using UMI), data visualization and creation of sernarios.
