Each technique offers unique form finding parameters inherent to the manner in which the material is assembled and inherent to the material itself.

By folding a square and allowing the corners to meet on opposite ends, a two dimensional plane becomes a three dimensional unit. The unit is used as a repetitive module introducing a pattern that produces a self enclosing object. The object creates a volume that not only reads as a repetitive pattern, but rather as a complex system of overlapping planes.

As a critical point between two distinct neighborhoods, Red Hook and Carroll Gardens, the intersection of Van Brunt and Hamilton is at the center of amenities serving these areas.

This pathway system, while incorporating both material and light, creates a new urban way-finding experience for the pedestrian.

REDHOOK.ElementaryDesign Studio.I

Emily AbruzzoF.12

While the future of the site is unclear, it is clear that this area is seeing many changes...increased residential density, and therefore families, into this part of Brooklyn.

The elementary school is designed primarily with two wings, north and south. Classrooms are placed facing the courtyards, allowing circulation to wrap around the school; this acts as a sound barrier and creates privacy between activities inside and outside of the school environment. The central spine, represented as a translucent facade, joins all programs together making that space the central gathering location for the school. It also provides visual movement between volumes and the materials used throughout the project.

‘Located at the heart of the historic “Two Bridges” neighborhood, this site as well as the rest of NYC, became a broader target in discussions of disaster resiliency, affordable housing, resource access, sustainability and social diversity.” - Amelia Taylor-Hochberg/Archinect

The design, with its plinth and tower strategy, incorporates a gradual ramp for accessibility emphasizing the importance of resiliency against flood zones. The plinth not only serves as a public social space for the residents and neighbors, but as a refuge zone for the community.

Bryan YoungS.13

This project aims at using representational techniques to tell the story of a technology in obsolescence, the Polaroid Camera.

By drawing the object and understanding its tectonics three dimensionally, one can begin to analyze the greater picture through the use of diagrams and models.

This project challenges the designer to work within a 25’x25’ structural bay, creating a stair with a function open to interpretation.

25x25.Stair focuses on maintaining a social, yet experiential relationship with the user. The faceted geometry carves out the circulation path within the existing building, creating unique opportunities between architecture and space.

The bay was divided into segmentsusing standard dimensions for rise-over-runand head hieghts as well as floor placement

By carving away at the planes moments of intersection were revealed creating a twist around the bay

Located at the corner of Broome and Chrystie Street, LES.Lab identifies both light and architecture as critical parameters for the design of the building. LES.Lab simultaneously serves the community as a learning center and an exhibition space for promoting lighting design.

The building expresses the relationship between light and architecture through its atrium, or Light Tube, which branches out into four unique social spaces, or Light Boxes, that blend together both Northern diffused light with direct sun light into the Light Tube, also serving as the main circulation space within the building. The facade is generated as a system of vertical fins that range in size based on sun analysis strategies and its relationship with the Light Boxes. The existing brick building is reclaimed and used as exhibition space, while allowing the new program to rest above.

The Sunset Park Recreation Center and Pool was a WPA-era project originally opened in 1936, the first of four public pools set to open in Brooklyn at that time. Though heavily utilized by the community at first, it fell into disrepair and after nearly a decade of neglect, renovations were completed in 1984. The building was declared a New York City Landmark in 2007, however the facility has still not received any significant upgrades since the mid eighties.

Design Workshop 2014 proposed designing two pool-side changing/locker room pavilions which allowed the Rec Center to run activities indoors year round, and at the same time elevated the experience for the recreation center users.

ROCKAWAY.BungalowDesign Studio.V

Walter Meyer/Jennifer BolstadF.14

This project looks at bringing back the bungalow housing typology to the Rockaways. It challenges current NYC Zoning regulations and at the same time responds to building methodologies and transportation efficiency.

The design uses modular construction techniques for off-site fabrication. The house consists of 5 components that snap into place. By simply allowing the conventional staircase to attach to the house, it allows more interior program space to be used. Each house has the ability to create unique front facades giving the traditional street front more of a dynamic experience.
