The following pieces of work represent different methods of using media to express several styles with led. The cross-section of the bell pepper shows half of it rendered with hatch marks and the other half with dots. By using a range of led thicknesses, you can create depth in a drawing or graphic. This adds another layer of dimension to the work. Cross-Section of a Pepper

Using the skills from Visualization, a structure was given to conduct a case study. After drawing out the plans and sections of this house, the next task was to draw perspectives of the house. That was then transferred to ink on mylar. The clean version was then imported into Photoshop and rendered.

Activity Zones
Programmed Spaces + Egress
This project commenced with collecting data from inhabitants of this space. There were a total of three programmed spaces, a reading room, drafting room and a room for telephone communications. The first step in the design process was to draw anthropometric drawings of both classmates and ourselves to understand the flow of space and how people travel from one point to another point in the structure.

There were different design considerations. Each inhabitant had their own preference when they were engaging in that activity. For example some cared about privacy while others cared about sunlight and how convenient it would be getting from one room to another. Once all the requirements were met, the final step was developing an egress system to service each zone within the structure.

U.S.S. Monitor Museum 05
Turret Gallery
Greenpoint, Brooklyn
The U.S.S. Monitor’s turret is a significant piece of history, and it was chosen to be displayed in Greenpoint by the shipyards. Initially we had to come up with a concept that would establish the importance of the turret and it’s display to visitors. The photos on the left symbolize a reliquary. Reliquaries are often used in various faiths to display an object or piece of a person or their belongings. As a result, the object is highlighted and revered by visitors. By placing the turret in a similar environment, it will have the same effect on visitors.

Waterpark Africa
This waterpark design was generated from a grid that originated from the golden ration. The grid laid out the foundation as to where the pool and ramp system would be placed. The biggest hurdle of this project was the connection of each pool to another. Water would flow from one pool to another. The ramp egress system was designed as a spine that went up the middle of the site servicing every pool and visitor zone.

Central Park Bird Blind Manhattan, New York
Cut and Fill Diagrams
This project was broken into two parts, the bird blind itself and developing a viewing device. The viewing device had to be made in such a way where the person/entity could not see you, but you could see them. I constructed the viewing device by having two layers. The first layer (exterior) was meant to be a plain sheet with a large opening. The second sheet (interior) is where the person places their eye to view out. The opening on the second sheet is much smaller than the first one. The small peep hole is where you would place your eye. On the corners you have 4 pivot points allowing the device to be shifted to look at different sides. These opening are placed on opposite sides of the sheets, making it impossible to spot the person from the outside.
VIEWING PORT
VIEWING OUTLOOK
Viewing Device
From the start, I wanted the bird blind design to blend in with the terrain of the site. The reason for this was to attract birds and to give them a reason to come around the structure, not keep away from it because of it’s design nature. My concept was to place the progammed spaces in a free flowing manner so they won’t be restricted by the site parameters. Then on top of that, I wanted an outter shell place on top to give visitors the experience of viewing birds from any point of the structure.

After designating the site of the the archive/library, the next step in design process was to think of 3 distinctive concepts and to create models for them. The ideas from two concepts were taken and combined for the final model.
These photos above represent process models which ultimately led to the final model. The design situated common spaces between the archive and library on the lower levels. The higher you move up in the structure, the more the privacy increases in the zones.

The objective for my design was allowing to mold with the existing site , even with the cut and fill in mind. As a visitor enters the complex from Broadway, they are greeted with shifting floor plates both going downward and upward. The project requirement was to give local residents and people playing in the park across the street a view of the park. The shape and material usage of my design doesn’t disrupt the visitor’s experience from the street.

Design Sketches and Concept Models
The Young Architect’s Program at MoMA PS1 presents all sorts of designs every year. The site is located in Long Island City close to the water, it inspired me to bring the water and shore to the design. The site is sliced up into raised platforms for each zone. Each platform is configured based off the parameters from neighboring houses and buildings.

MoMA Annex 11
Arts Center
Long Island City, NY
The MoMA Annex Arts Center proved to be a challenging task to design. MoMA has a rich history and presence in the surrounding community. The one thing I attempted to establish was dividing the building into a section for the artists and a section for the public. Even though the building still stands as one piece, the artist studios extrude out towards the street the higher you go at different levels. By doing this, it causes the public side of the structure to have a reaction on the opposite side. As the visitor makes their way towards the building, they are enveloped throughout each floor constantly giving them an experience of the entire facility. The parti section diagram illustrates this idea into full effect.
