The unconditioned space consists of steel vertical members, steel beams, and concrete floors; an industrial work feel appropriate for where the boats are stored and maintained. The conditioned space sits above and shifts from steel structural members to wood glulam, wood floors, and glass. The orientation of the building allows for passive heating/cooling where the cladding on the roof extends past the balconies to block the sun. The top of the glulam was then raised to allow for operable windows to create natural ventilation.

east elevation
view from hanging theater the organebrcke highlights the opportunities that the original bridge possesses, by dropping the structure down on the west side of the bridge this opens an unobstructed view to museum island and the performance boats that can dock in the water.
west elevation
perpendicular view from street berlin is an active city, the organebrcke provides a new opportunity for this energy to be concentrated and celebrated through its programming. this new urban gesture activates and engages the transitory space with its outdoor cafe and campground for the young people that frequently, at the minimum just pass through the city on their travels.

distinguished projeCt fall 2012published in pratt institutes inproCess 19
The project seeks to create a supportive infrastructure through a combination of an architecture and urban analysis. tourists + indigenous people benefit from the elevated structure due to programs designed within the podium + tower; relieving the locals from bi-annual floods and
producing numerous opportunities to generate revenue, forming symbiotic relationship.

3 SEPARATE TOWERS were developed to accommodate specific programs
The main VERTICAL CIRCULATION grows from the ground and through the LEGS OF THE PODIUM
AN OUTWARD EXPANSION of the individual footprints created room for the 3 WIND TURBINES
All program RIPPLES OUT of the EPICENTERS, the legs, creating small elevated structures
Towers are TAPERED as they grow
The INTERSECTION between structure and program is EXTRUDED HORIZONTALLY to create circulation
For SELECTED VIEWS and ROOFS the towers were INDIVIDUALLY twisted from the center of their respective cores
A SHIFT in the programmatic blocks allows for green spaces, parks and markets
HEIGHT of each tower is dependent on the program it is housing, the SPIRAL CUT denotes correct height and ORIENTATION
The geometries of the towers DIRECT the different FLOWS of the proposal, to the water, to the land and the MANIPULATION of people and occupation
The podium is PINNED DOWN with programmed pathways CONNECTING rice fields, roads and the harbor with the structure

meta library
distinguished projeCt fall 2010published in pratt institutes inproCess 17
The librarys programmatic and spatial organization is dictated by the stacks. this organization agent acts as a usage protocol and adjacency indicator by expanding and surrounding rooms
that generate the noetic and contracting from those that do not actively assist in the search.

The meta librarys role is to act as a facilitator, staging events within the architecture that inspire idea generation. The process of researching a thesis within the library is similar to the progression of a vine climbing to the sun; as the bud grows it extends upward, producing offspring that expand outward, each vine reaches into new territory though all sharing the same goal to get as close as they can to the source.

distinguished projeCt fall 2011published in pratt institutes inproCess 18
The theory behind the graduate housing is conservation. A simple task by which a generic form of a building block footprint is manipulated and deformed to create a more accessible organization of program. Through the act of hinging by proportion the process gave the project
variation, unique day lighting strategies, and a visual unifying facade opportunities.
