Overview

Dubai’s current explosion of sprawling development lacks connectivity and cohesion. The Velo project is a hypothetical attempt to impose structure by means of a light rail transit network. The transit lines will connect various nodes across the city [both existing and planned] creating corridors for future development. This project focuses on the design of an individual rail station in conjuction with a new civic space: in this case an art gallery for local artisans.

The two distinctive program elements are encapsulated within a wave and a berm. The metapor comments on the inherent tension exhibited by the current land reclamation efforts across the city of Dubai. induced by man’s imposition on nature; as found in the current land reclamation projects across the Emirates.

The design proposal for a prominent Chinese technology company sought to create a world class research campus that was in harmony with its landscape and integrated with the surrounding community. The exterior cladding and interior atria were detailed to promote visual connectivity to the site while restraining direct solar gain. The result was a shear, translucent veil of glass and perforated metal screening

JIANGSU BROADCASTINGCORPORATION CAMPUS

which elegantly wraps the building’s exterior. A fixed overhead canopy diffuses direct sun light within the internal atria creating a dappled lighting effect similar to the natural condition found within dense forests. The result is a comforting and warm interior space that provides a retreat from the traditional work environment and encourages interaction between varying departments.

This proposal was submitted for a 3.5 million square meter expansion of the King Hussein Medical Center, located in Amman, Jordan. The Jordanian government sought the creation of a premiere medical facility that reflected it’s progressive ideals and platform focused on modernization. The design includes a cluster of crystalline towers that circumscribed an expansive garden landscape.

My personal responsibilities were largely focused on the detailing of curtain wall facades and amorphous concrete paneling that hangs off the lower plinth. Our team decided to pursue a shear facade with minimal articulation that would have a high degree of reflectance yet retain enough transparency to promote outward views.

This was realized with a triple-glazed curtain wall system that incorporated various reflective coatings and films on different glazing surfaces. In order for the towers to be visually read as contiguous objects and not a series of fractal planes, we introduced shadow box assemblies at the spandrel conditions and used structurally glazed joints between glazing units. In effect, this reduced visual clutter across the elevations and unified the massing into a cohesive whole.

At each floor, the interior ceiling condition obscured pocketed roller shades and curtain tracks. The multiple layering of shading devices would provide occupants with a wide range of options for controlling day lighting and personal privacy within each micro-environment..

The design for the National Cancer Institute’s new research facility included substantial input from the pre-selected developer [Matan Realty] and General Contractor [Morgan Keller]. Our challenge was to experiment with the prescribed methodology of tilt-up concrete construction. However, it was paramount that we create a first class research facility that responded to its immediate context and still met very strict budget requirements.

My primary responsibilities focused on leading the design and documentation of the building envelope. The glazed face of the office

connector building provides the primary identity for the facility as a whole. Reacting to the varying solar exposures, a dense, pixilated pattern of fritted glass dissolves along the elevation.

This mutation alludes to the genetic mapping conducted within the facility and creates an iconic patterning across the building. Overall, areas of the facade with greater solar exposure are more opaque to better diffuse glare and mitigate heat gain. The opposing end of the elevation [which has a northwest exposure] is largely transparent, providing outward, panoramic views of the rolling pastoral landscape and distant mountains.

Columbia University’s Medical Center hosts some of the premiere research institutions in world. We were honored to be selected for the renovation of three floors of administrative offices and research laboratories for the Northeast Center for BioDefense, directed by renowned pathologist, Dr. Ian Lipkin.

My personal responsibilities included leading the design and documentation of the architectural component, as well as the coordination of engineering and data systems. Our proposal integrated the client’s personal affinity for Japanese woodwork and furniture

design with our own modernist sensibilities. The result was a sublimely minimalist architecture that was accented with bespoke wood detailing and Japanese furniture. The select accent pieces provided a warm juxtaposition to the austere concrete flooring and ubiquitous glazing. Transparency was emphasized between open floor areas by glass partitions. This allowed several of the interior spaces to borrow day lighting from the perimeter of the floor and endowed a sense of community amongst occupants. It also broadened access to far-reaching exterior views of the Hudson River, George Washington Bridge and Upper Manhattan.

The explosion of sprawling development in the United Arab Emirates over the last twenty years lacks cohesion and connectivity. The velo project is a hypothetical attempt to impose order by means of a light rail transit network. The transit lines will connect various nodes across the city [both existing and planned] creating corridors for future development. This project focuses on the tectonics of an individual rail station in conjunction with a new civic space - in this case, a gallery for local artists. This creates a unique typology that is driven by latent social antecedents.

Formally, the distinct programmatic elements are encapsulated within a wave and a berm.

The suggested metaphor comments on the inherent tension induced by man’s imposition on nature, as exhibited by the current land reclamation efforts underway throughout the Emirates.

Various panelling studies were completed to investigate how the building might breathe passively. In order for convection currents to escape the terminal’s shell, gaps were necessary between canopy panels. It was also found that variable density in the layering of panels altered the levels of transparency and privacy within the form. This effect was used to optimize shading at specified locations and to allow for increased day lighting at others.

The average corporate employee working in an open office environment is keenly aware of the contemporary phenomenon known as the loud coworker. Emotional tension can build for weeks or even months until even the most mundane of adjacent phone conversations can leave someone in the next bay or row exasperated.

This hypothetical project considers an escape from the daily barrage of sound warfare and distraction that is common in corporate environments. The proposed escape module, a sort of panic room, could be assembled outside an office window. When noise levels within the office become overbearing, one could escape to the exterior, entering a serene environment suspended above the vitality of the urban street. In addition to providing a sort of a creative

therapy, this project became tectonic exercise for exploring and researching construction details structural connections.

The idea was to create a comfortable space for reading, contemplation and work. Here, one could observe the chaos of the city from a unique vantage point but remain cocooned in blissful silence.

The primary glazed box is suspended within a network of heavy timber ribs, which itself is held off of the main building facade. Transparency and day lighting were highly desirable so that much of the envelope is fully glazed. Much of the mullions and steel framing were kept as thin and minimal as possible. Retractable shades were introduced so that the occupant could tailor the environment to their needs.
