Explore the prospect of the urban waterfront as a continued site for the making of things. Drawing on the loose collection of artists, fabricators, and cul-tural institutions that exist in Queens (includ-ing Socrates Sculpture Park and the Noguchi Museum), the observed interdependent relation-ship of art and artisan industries yields an un-derstanding of produc-tion as a critical com-ponent of contemporary urbanism. Using envi-ronmental conditions of the site, relationships between inside and out, and consumption as related to the art indus-try, propose a strategy for the immediate land-scape as well as the larger site and context.

Begin with site analysis and use contextual ob-servations and research to inform 60,000 sq. ft. housing project pro-posal. Document the history, memory, and experience of the neigh-borhood as well as its culture to understand housing requirements. Explore new possi-bilities for the modern dwelling space and propose innovative spa-tial possibilities (which include communal out-door balconies as liv-ing room extensions). Resolve the design from massing through detail and structure.

Utiliize at least two Man-hattan subway lines to reach an unfamiliar des-tination. Catalogue a series of urban elements integral to that site using diagrams, mappings, drawings, photographs, etc. Through itera-tive studies, translate these observations into the format of a physi-cal model. Modify this model incrementally to explore notions of a new space, separate from yet still encompassing the measurements of the original intersection.

URBAN TRANSFORMA-TIONS

Examine the space and scale of habitation, interaction, and transi-tion to propose a tem-porary enclosure, not to exceed a volumetric area of 1,000 cubic feet, which can accomo-date a minimum of two adults. Consider issues of occupation as related to an active, existing, urban infrastructural site. Use the site’s prox-imity to the Chinatown Bus System to provide an adequate waiting area for its passengers which will also serve those transient users simply passing through the busy intersection.

Observe the site as a waterfront industrial area that has transi-tioned to increased resi-dential use over the past decade. Propose a hub of 8,500 sq. ft. that will serve various modes of transportation, including streetcar, ferry, bycicyle, and car as well as link the increasing amount of visitors to nearby Ikea and Fairway by serving as a destination and not simply a mode of transit connection. Incorporate an additional program of choice - a printing press - that will at once recall the hand-made history of Brooklyn while simulta-neously attracting anoth-er user group to the pier.

The Barnes Foundation, home to one of the world’s largest private collections of Impres-sionist, Post-Impression-ist, and early Modern paintings, is to be relocated from the sub-urbs of Pennsylvania so that it can better serve its visitors. Analyze the strategic placement of the art in the current museum to inform the museum’s new location within the urban fabric of Philadelphia. Study the conditions of the chosen site along the Benjamin Franklin Park-way to propose a new museum that will retain the relevant conditions of the original program-matic study while utl-izing the new site to its fullest potential.

Given the site of Olde City in HistoricDowntown Philadelphia, investigate the urban narrative: commercial layout, neighborhood attrac-tions, shade & sunlight, pedestrian patterns, and vehicular traffic. Synthesize the spatial conditions and define hierarchies in order to propose the program that will best enhance the site. The chosen program, an art museum with cafe and public space at street level, will intensify the interlocking nature of the site, thereby in-creasing the pedestrian traffic and stimulating the downtown neighbor-hood.

Evaluate personal idiosyncrasies and represent them through the creation a “Habit Model”. Day Habit chosen: Enthusiastically talking with hands. Create a model which allows the listener to remove himself from the situa-tion by relegating the speaker to a more confined space.
Night Habit chosen: Im-mediately changing out of clothes upon return-ing home, disregarding the potential inadequate seclusion of the space. Create a model which automatically estab-lishes a privacy screen upon the closing of the clothing drawer.

Choose a story of two characters whose relationship can be de-picted through a com-position of only three planes, using flip-outs and fold-outs.
Narrative chosen: The unrequited and distant love of Dante Alighieri for Beatrice Portinari, the inspiration for “The Divine Comedy”.
Using a series of translucent overlays, deconstruct Picasso’s painting, “Minotauro-machy”, and translate observations of spatial conditions to a specific section of the labrynth in which the Minotaur resides.
Narrative chosen: The meeting place of Ari-adne and the Minotaur.

Studio 1:Illustrate a world of planes, volumes, and columns through an axonometric study of shade and shadow.
Using a similar, des-ignated kit of parts, construct a gallery to house the Jasper Johns letter series and a space for a traveling art exhibition.
Studio 2:Construct a Viewing Machine to alter the per-ceived space.
Utilize the portable device to discover com-plexities of the given site and use these ideas to develop a Viewing Bridge from which the device can be imple-mented. 10

In the central business distric of Tianjin, there is a strong commercial core but a shortage of first class residential and office buildings. The reconstruction of this city center is to serve as an active link between a new concert hall and plaza to the northeast and the his-toric preservation dis-trict to the southwest. The proposal, com-prised of three unified towers atop a horizontal podium, is inviting to the public due to both its dynamic appearance as well as the lively pedestrian environment that it creates at street level.

The Bronx Studio School is historically a highly dedicated com-munity of teachers and artists committed to cultivating a generation of young, globally-mind-ed students. In 2003, Casita Maria, a non-profit devoted to after-school enrichment for NYC youths, partnered with the NY Department of Education to launch a new educational and cultural facility to house both its headquarters and the Bronx School. The proposal for the state-of-the-art facility was required to follow the standards of the NY School Construction Authority while providing a forum suitable for the needs of an artistic and theatrical student base.

Partnered with Athena Group LLC, a private real estate investment, operating, and devel-opment company, the design for the first luxury high-rise to be built in Harlem required a focus on not only the magnificent views that result from being situ-ated at the very tip of Central Park, but also the direct effect of this building on its immedi-ate neighborhood. By stretching the limits of a strict building code, the emphasis was placed on both the project’s location as a gateway into Harlem as well as its scale as a beacon of the community.

Though initially envi-sioned as the re-paint-ing of a historic town-house, this seemingly simple project spiraled into a gut renovation, including exterior altera-tions. Every design decision required ear-nest attention be paid to the particular design aesthetic of the client as well as the demands of the NYC Landmarks Preservations Commis-sion, due to its location at Sutton Place, one of Manhattan’s most afflu-ent streets.
