Diving BoardAsser Levy Park, Brooklyn, New York
Using inspiration from dancers, the twisting, overlapping form of the diving board was conceived. There are four different diving platforms that each follow the curve of the structure.

Bracing to reinforce the wall structure.
Platforms located on the perimeter of the wall, following the same pattern. These Platforms can be reached by
Diagonal members help to bear some of the load and provide additional support to the vertical members.

Whispering WallsNew Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey
In collaboration with masons, students design and build a masonry structure. Each arch was constructed following two different patterns, creating the rigid interior. The exterior remains smooth in contrast to the interior. The patterns of the bricks create a series of acoustic tiles. A manifesto is displayed at the end of the build atop of a cradled construct-ed with recycled bricks from the build.

Art HausIn cooperation with Guilianna Forsythe
This museum provides a variety of ways to view art. The juxtaposi-tion of the curved walls and the straight geometry. Create gallery spaces where art can be displayed from different elevations, giving the observer a different perspective on the artwork

Paranoid Housing accommodates for the level of privacy the tenant prefers. It provides the opportunity to hide your valu-ables in various places around your apart-ment with secrecy. Each apartment comes with a garden that receives light through tunnels that are excavated from the roof of the building into each apartment.

Paranoid Housing
Height DifferenceTunneling
Generational SpecificityThe amount of privacy an apartment receivescorresponds with the age of the tenant.
The circulation throughout each floor varies to create a labyrinth effect. Each floor has a different route ofcirculation.
Gardens receive light through tunnels that extend from the bottom floor up through the roof of thebuilding.
The building is partially underground, making it muchshorter than the surrounding buildings. This provides privacy and is somewhat hidden from the rest ofthe city.
Circulation
Green SpacePublic gardens provide green space for an area that is lacking them. It turns the space between the Paranoid housing and the neighboring buildings into communal space.
BuryingStorage and gardens are buried into the nooks left by the maze-like circulation. Because of this, it is hard to determine where secret spaces are.

Paranoid Iteration36 manifestations of the original prototype were created using Rhino. A series of words were picked at random and the new manifestations was meant to act like said words. For example, if a word was sponge, the prototype was changed to act and/or look like a sponge.
