SHARE LIGHT

Lisbon Story: An Entrance to a Castle Critic: Ricardo Bak Gordon Fall 2015

Site Plan

Top level courtyard from above

New Entry

Old Entry

Ticketing/courtyard - FL 04

A new entrance to the Castle Sao Jorge is a center for residents as well as tourists. With an idea of alternate pathways as a background for this project, Share Light addresses the necessity for moments of containment and lingering as well as attraction and access on its interior, while on the exterior it acts as a bridge between the two sides of the existing landscape to be separated by the new building. The two interior atmospheres of the building, the inward and outward-looking, are achieved through a relationship between the terracing ground, the existing retaining walls, and a new shell -- a series of walls and terraces that create pockets of space underneath, that contain the cafe, reading rooms, and ticketing lobby. The stairs situated against the terraced ground act as divisions between the two halves of the building, creating significant moments of shared light.

Center for the Performing Arts, Cranbrook Educational Community Critic: Billie Tsien, Tod Williams Spring 2016

many acrobats...

...acting as one

As home to a wide range of users from students to faculty and staff to guests, from elementary to high school students and graduate students in art, a center for the performing arts at the Cranbrook Educational Community pursues the identity of ‘Many as One.’ It brings its daily activities to its front, acknowledging its role as an educational institution and a place for students and residents. Simultaneously, it accomodates visitors for performances as well as an addition to the campus’ pedestrian network, and a unifier for the many parts of campus. The building, then, acts as an archway that bridges its two sides, with a raised public area and a descending private area. What appears as a solid massing from the building’s exterior is revealed as a series of concentric boundaries that enclose three independent masses, the theaters as the building’s ultimate interiors.

BERG

Between Incompatible Plans Critic: Katy Barkan Fall 2013

‘Incompatible Plans’ implies an incongruence, dissimilarity between floors to be bridged. As a landform disparate between above and under water, icebergs pose a fitting motif to bridge floors by way of circulation. Volumes seemingly massive and at the same time occupiable connect the given bottom and top floor plans and structurally support the additional floors, allowing for multiple floating planes.

F THE OVERLAP

Hidden Room

Critic: Katy Barkan Fall 2013 An ambiguity of overlap is inherent in division, where the specification of a start and end are crucial to an accurate understanding (for example, a trip of 3 days and 4 nights implies a nighttime arrival and daytime departure). Using this ambiguity--the tendency to miscount-and the simple operation of 4 lines cutting one object into 5 objects, 5 rooms are separated by 4 staircases, the center one ‘Hidden.’ A datum gives the illusion of 4 rooms from the approach, and the two stacked, hidden stairs that provide access to the Hidden Room are only revealed after having accessed the 4 Rooms.

NEST

Calibrated Porosities Critic: Katy Barkan Fall 2013

Nested, folded surfaces that interlock perpendicularly create the outer envelope and boundaries within. In a laboratory where programmatic requirements span extremes and an in-between--private/public/ semipriviate; hot/cold/warm--the self-similar S-shaped folded surfaces achieve variety at their intersections and their alternating quality of inside to outside. The building consists of two wings characterized by hot and cold labs and a middle area, segregating circulation and stitching the two extremes.

System, Cadence listens to the rhythms and the frequencies of the systems present in the Hotel/Gym/Spa tower. The calibration of each system’s metrics -- circulation/egress, structure, hotel room dimensions, column grid dimensions, etc. -- and how, when, where they may coincide, clash, and become highly interrelated fed the need to create an insular, compact tower with significant moments of release and visibility depending on the program inside. What resulted was a harmonic choreography of the metrics in favor of regularity and ‘readability’ in the public interior, compromising a uniformity in the private hotel program ‘wrapper.’

TIMELINE

Florence: Underground Museum in Piazza degli Uffizi Critics: Zeuler Lima, Iain Fraser Spring 2011

In a city so heavily weighted in its history, a reconsideration of one’s perception of time becomes important in connecting the past, present, and future. This museum attempts to simulate one’s progress through time--one which is fluid rather than fragmented, reflective rather than forgotten. As different parts of the program are revealed and concealed by walls, one becomes aware of other areas of the museum while still separated from them.

Experiments As evident through my series of sketches on the cover page, I tend to develop designs through a mixture of media and representational techniques in addition to drawing in plans and sections. Hand modelling and hand drafting, as well as making interpretive drawings with wet media have become part of my method and process, which I have retained through my years of study. These are works from my undergraduate years that are the basis of my current process. Conceptual models

Experiments

Fall 2015 Critic: Ewa Harabasz

In this drawing course at the GSD, for which I also served as a teaching assistant for artist Ewa Harabasz, the line was studied as having textural, emotive, and spatial qualities. Constantly translating between small sketches in two dimensions to larger paintings, and creating three dimensional studies as well as tools and techniques to converse between scales and dimensions, the work explored the potential of drawing in implying space and movement beyond its two dimensional properties.

Somerville, MA Apprentice, Summer 2015

I spent Summer 2015 as an apprentice at a chair repair shop that specializes in cane and wicker in Somerville, MA-- the only shop of its kind in the Boston area. Clients ranged from teachers to beekeepers to architects, and pieces ranged from passed-down antiques to designer chairs. A unique experience that exposed me to people from all walks of life, I was able to immerse myself in the study of craft, quiet, and patience.
