Universal Aquatic Library
Steel Competition
The Universal Aquatic Library is redefining what a li-
brary can be as center for learning. It is a library, on a
barge sitting on water, that teaches the visitors about
marine biology through interactive learning -- reading
and visual interactions, not just through text. The
steel enclosed water aquarium cuts through the build-
ing in both the vertical and horizontal axes. Spaces
are being discovered by the steel’s nature. The form is
inspired by the fluidity of water, and its ability mold
and carve through to create specific spaces. The unique
conditions of the steel structure defines and material-
izes the form of the water walls, establishing unity of
the steel and the aquarium.

Sherman Creek
Urban Design
The design objectives for an urban plan for Sherman Creek, were to link the neighbor-hood with the two different city fabrics and to the community, and make the site a desti-nation by inviting people to the waterfront through processional roads. The processional roads, the design of the river front park and the triangle park, offered views out into the river and the Bronx.

Clear Channel Headquarters
Office Building
An office building located at the heart of Soho, I designed an office building that would seamless-ly fit in its site, as it cantilevers and projects as a living advertisement building, in the midst of all the billboards by which its surrounded by. The fa-cades features a billboard, and other facades cel-ebrates the structure both from the exterior and open floor interior. The building is directly above an underground train station, which became a getaway to the building and the streets. The objective was to reestablish a con-nection between the office space, the streets, and the train station- three “realms.” The connection is attained through the cavity which goes through all three realms, through which giving views of the en-tangling stairs, the streets, and the train station.

Radiating Cones
Conceptual Pavillion
Geometric shapes such as the cone and the sphere were used to design a pavil-lion. Cones were shifted around into a semisphere, to form a pavillion where the visitors would be able to move around the coned structure in a cir-cuitous path. Once inside, one would move in the similar way and experience the negative spaces in between the ar-ranged cones, the shards.

Exploring Vertigo
Path
After taking an extrusion from a previous project, and then manipulating its form by shifting and rotating, a path was creat-ed through it all which exemplified height and a sense of vertigo. The path became a passageway for one, to experience and fulfill their indulgement for the heights, hence vertigo.
