MASTER PLAN COMPONENTNAVAJO HOUSINGin collaboration with Wess Diptee, Anooshey Rahim & Yelena ZolotorevskayaPenn Design | Spring 2014 | Critics Tony Atkin & Laurie Olin

This collaborative landscape & architecture studio developed a master plan for the Navajo community of Crown Point, NM.

Using a framework of public utilities, my team of four advanced a comprehensive plan to tackle disparate problems ranging from flood mitigation to community building. We strived to provide the minimum number of services needed to allow the people of Crown Point to overcome their inertia.As the only student concentrating solely on architecture, my greatest contribution was the design of the housing units.

In this collaborative landscape & architecture studio we developed master plans for the underprivileged Navajo community of Crown Point.

The architecture of the housing units is most representative of my contribution to the group. The primary axis of circulation in this 2-bedroom single family house doubles as a trombe wall.

Iron Lung is a building that seeks to be carbon negative & scrub CO2 from Tribeca, NY while acting as a beacon for the progressive change required to combat Global Warming.

Located by the Canal Street Holland Tunnel exit, where over one-hundred thousand cars pass each day, Iron Lung utilizes fluid dynamics to filter the surrounding air. Employing the stack effect, the building enables cross-flow filtration, pulling particulate matter & other pollutants from the air into plant beds resulting in increased vegetation growth and the return of the native wilderness to Manhattan.

PUBLIC P.O.P.S PRIVATE

A FUTURE MESOTOPIC URBANISMin collaboration with Eric HullPenn Design | Fall 2013 | Critic Peter Trummer

Metroform neither denigrates nor idealizes the future, but sees it as a mesotopia – a possible evolution of the organization of cities and their social structures.Metroform proposes that each architecture is the ground for the next. In this interface of building (private) and building (private) the public realm emerges, creating a continuum between the stratified private spaces of the individual buildings and the resultant, nonhierarchical public space. At these instances of convergence the regularity of private spaces gives way to the inherent unpredictability of public space. The discrete moments within these areas are defined by gradients of deformation, losing their particular signification as architectural elements. Within this system, the architecture is no longer the singular skyscraper, but a plurality that reinterprets and reconstitutes the urban condition.

Landscape oriented development through bundled recreation & storm water network. Anchored by the Nashville Sounds Ballpark, the Basins at Sulphur Dell leverage the neighborhoods central location and unique history to create a resilient community & enabling healthy lifestyles. The diagonal axes cut through the fabric extending the Music City Green Way, creating community connections & access to the riverfront. The greenway system protects the neighborhood through strategically placed water-collecting plazas that occupy the lowest points of the site & create spurs of activity off the greenway.

INTEGRATIVE NEGOTIATIONARTS CO-OP & TRANSITIONAL HOUSINGPennDesign | Spring 2012 | Critic Annette Fierro

The subject of this project was a Cooperative. Because a co-op’s most important asset is trust, the negotiation of personal space among mem-bers is a prime concern.

The space must be inclusive, encouraging the mingling of people & ideas, but also allowing individuals to work alone in privacy.

To accomplish this two-part goal, the building has open floor plans in which undulating floors & ceilings create an internal landscape of valleys, peaks, & plateaus that delineate the space visually & auditorily without partitioning it.

HOTEL, RESIDENCES & LIBRARYPenn Design | Fall 2012 | Critic Hina Jamelle

Rather than placating the social and economic elite it seeks to create an inclusive monastic retreat incorporating a public library; the last bastion of civic monument in the direct service of the public.

Index, located in Tribeca, NY, a hybrid hotel & residence, incorporates library facilities throughout its circulation & ancillary spaces.

URBAN PARK OF SOCIAL REFLECTIONPennDesign | Fall 2011 | Critic Ben Krone

VOYEUR PARK

Voyeur Park is a project about how the prospect & actuality of being watched affects our interac-tions with the world.

It explores the information of assumption after looking, through projection of past interactions with similar operational contexts. It enforces the difference in power between the spectator and spectacle. This is accomplished through the series of architectural follies that cut away parts of the existing built world while also building upon them. Each is designed to draw the participant’s eye to specific points on the urban landscape that either distract the participant from the fact they are being viewed or force them to confront it.

CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE


SAM ROSEN

The concept for the Portal seeks to intensify and elongate the interaction centered around a door, specifically the front entrance of a house.

Memory is the main issue that Portal investigates through the event of opening a door. Ideas of security and knowledge are explored through this lens as well as the discrete actions of approaching, acknowledging, opening, and accepting.

As the occupant approaches the door the frit patterns on the glass slowly align themselves extending the moment of questioning; “Who is it?”.

FOLDING PLATESRIGID PLATE MIURA-ORI STRUCTURE

This work is an exploration in thick, rigid, origami. The project investigates modes of constructing deployable, rigid plate structures while keeping a single degree of freedom within the system.

The wall is fully collapsible and actuated at a singular central point to control the entire extents of the folding process. The plates are each constructed of two 3/16 birch panels sandwiching a singular textile membrane that acts as a centralized hinge. Differentiation between beveled and butt ended panel edges determines the the systems ridge / valley organization and controls the walls ability to collapse entirely.

APPENDED SPACE

Appended Space explores the scaling and fabricating of an architectural scale proposal, utilizing the principles explored in our earlier work ‘Folding Plates’.

The Work Investigates Five Main Goals: 1 - Scalability of the System

2 - Asymmetric and Irregular Folding Patterns

3 - Material Construction and Fabrication

4 - The Potential to Create, Append & Manipulate Space through Folding

5 - Maintaining a Single Degree of Freedom within the System

BARTRAM’S GARDENCOMMUNITY GARDEN PAVILLIONSummer 2012

Designed for the Community Farm & Resource Center at Bartram’s Garden this pavillion acts as a homebase for local participants involved. The design was constrainted by a limited budget and the need to design a structure easy enough for high school students to fabricate.

Program partners are the Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative (AUNI) of the University of Pennsylvania, City of Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS).

The D-Bridge (Bridge) is a single-story, single-room, 1200SF building that acts as an enclosure along a path between an existing residence and an Art Gallery. The building is a thickened shell with canted glazing and six door openings—it is environmentally controlled, and it provides both a programmatic link between living and gallery spaces, and a series of smaller, more intimate porch-like spaces around the boundaries of the buildings.

The doubly curved flexure shell is structurally rationalized into 1000+ sheet metal voxels that act as the design DNA for all other design elements.
