Chapel oF EnlightenmentCoral Gables, FLFall 2012Project Type: Chapel & Rectory

Located adjacent to the historic Church of Little Flower in Coral Gables,Florida, the pro-gram calls for a minimal building foot-print. The concept of transformation permeates the design. A hardscape labyrinth begins the journey for a visitor. Arriving at the main entrance, a vetisbule welcomes guests. Circulation is restricted to a narrow passage around a wall which then opens to the choir. This main gathering space is illuminated through a wall of windows that embraces the guest with warm light.

Fall 2012project type: Urban Analysis of Home Town

I studied what made chicago grow within the urban fabric.I came to the conclusion that due to the growth in transportation Chicago was able to flourish Economicaly, and still to

this day. The two major types of transportation that allowed this to happen is by water, and railroad. In the analysis I depicted the process and contributors to these forms of trans-portation. In addition The central loction of Chicago and Illinois contributed to the city’s growth into a centeral hub of commerce. People who traveled from coast to coast passed

through chicago. Due to these to major factors Chicago became the major American city to-day, and is considered one of the most influential cities in the United State of America.

GULFSTREAM BRIDGEMIAMI, FLORIDAspring 2013project type: Pedestrian Bridge & urban development

The project was to design a bridge that would cross the busy Biscayne Boulevard, between The Freedom Tower Train Station and the American Airlines arena in downtown Miami.

The Gulfstream Bridge is the vision of 21st century architecture. Rather than acting as a direct path from the train station to the American Airlines Arena, the concept addresses a

more natural path. Furthermore the bridge provides safety from crossing BiscayneBoulevard,

the Gulfstream Bridge is the key monument of this urban redevelopment. In addition the unique reflective properties of the steel does not only mirror the lush florida greenery, but also reflects miami’s beautifull blue sky.

BOK TOWER PAVILION & AMPITHEATERLAKEWALES, FLORIDAspring 2014project type: Pavilion, Ampitheater, and Classrooms

Positioned at the top of florida’s heightest point which is Iron mountain at 500 feet above sea level, The Bok Tower Pavilion & Amphitheater is located in Lake Wales, Florida. The design emphasizes bringing the outdoors indoor. This was achieved with locally sourced wooden trusses that blends interior with the surrounding wooded areas. numerous win-dows allowed patrons to view the beautiful vistas that the location provided. The amphi-theater is located at the top of gradually slopping front lawn. The front lawn provides an significant public space for events and gtherings.

HIGHLINE 131NEW YORK , NEW YORKFALL 2013PROJECT TYPE: MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX

What is the future of housing in New York City? The population in New York is going to continue to grow. Yet the issue is that space has become very scarce in terms of new development. In-addition Our design is oriented toward affordable housing. The way that we were able to achieve this goal was through micro units. Our micro units range in 370 square feet to 450 square feet. In addition to the size of our units, in return unit’s prices begin at 1,200 dollars. The lower section of our building is to the public with an assortment of amenities open to residents and the public. Then the second program type is the tower that is only open to residents. In the tower we have several different floor each one has a different amenity, identified by cut-

outs along the building.
