MODEL CONCEPTUALIZING THORNDEN PARKDESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH MICHELLE WU
THORNDEN PARK, SYRACUSE NYCONCRETE, WOOD, METAL
This model conceptually representsThorndon Park. The model is composed of four interlocking blocks with holes that offer views to a central core of wood. Similarly, the park is composed of four very different sections that offer views (or clues) to the park’s history.

URBAN PRIMER. CONTINUOUS FOLDED STRIP OF PAPER TO CREATE SPACE
PAPERThe Urban Primer is an exercise designed to introduce students to Microstation Triforma. The object I designed is a large structure intended to be placed into a park. People can walk through the object, sit on top of the object, or lay on top of the object. Perforations in the skin allow light into the interior space.

FIREHOUSESYRACUSE, NYMICROSTATION
The Firehouse is designed to house 10 fire fighters. The formal strategy of the building draws pedestrians into and through the building in order to stimulate interaction between Fire Fighters and the surrounding community. This modern style building leans away from the classical building at its rear in order to depict a breaking away fromtraditional building vernacular as well as to represent the “on-the-go” lifestyle of the average fire fighter.

The Cambridge School of architecture is a school with a particular focus in Islamic Architecture. The building’s program includes:1. Meeting Hall2. Gallery Space3. Studio4. Library5. MosqueMy goal for this building was to make certain programs public and certain private, and then arrange the programs and circulation in such a way that the public, the teachers, and the students are forced to interact on a daily basis. This becomes particularly important when seen from a post 9/11 viewpoint when it is especially important that the public be educated about Islamic culture.

Booths located in certain locations may be painted differently to assimilate to surround-ing urban cultures. For example, Booths located on South Street may be painted red to match the new streetlights, whereas Booths located near the University of Pennsylvania may be painted blue and white to match the school’s colors.

PIPE GARDEN COMPETITION. ONE OF FOUR WINNING ENTRIESFLORENCE, ITALYCOPPER PIPES, STONE
The Pipe Garden is an annual competition that takes place in Florence. We are given certain site restrictions and are limited to using only 100 pipes with which to create some sort of exhibit. For my exhibit I divided the yard into a grid and created an object that divides the garden into two primary spaces. One of the main ideas was that these spaces are not indelibly defined, but can change their definition based on the placement of simple pieces of outdoorfurniture. For example, placing a table inside the bars makes the space a public room, whereas placing a single chair turns the space into a private retreat. The Second driving idea is a play between elevation and plan, the likes of which have been used since the Renaissance, even though this idea is more often associated to Le Corbusier’s Villa Schwob.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN 1:100
The Plan on page 18 is the main level of an extension to the Specola Museum. The Specola Museum is an antique collection of wax figures that portray the in-sides (organs, bones, etc.) of humans and animals. The Studio’s task was to design an extension to the Museum that included laboratory space and library stacks. My design uses Renaissance planning strategies that hold outdoor space to the same level of importance as indoor space. Column, trellis, and wall systems govern the spatial layout of the complex and create a varied means of experiencing the spaces.
The sketches on page 17 are sketches of models in the Specola Museum. They demonstrate a particular interest in how the displays are held together structurally.

GowanusMuseum
“Containment”. I began the project by analyzing conditions of containment with respect to the Gowanus Canal. I studied how the canal itself is contained and how the canal separates and contains the surrounding neighborhoods. I conceive of this building as a container of the canal. The different programs, which include (1)Museum, Class room, and (2)Office, each have differing spatial relationships to the canal. In addition, the Museum acts as a Connector, connecting the pedestrian to the canal and connecting Community to Community. The model on the top left is an urban strat-egy elevating and sinking land mass and infrastructure to create connectivity. The middle model is a parti model describing the relationship between building and water, and the last model is an exercise in formal strategy.

B. ARCHTHESIS
B. ARCHTHESIS
BUILDING AGILITYLIBRARY OF THE FUTURE I began my thesis with and interest in Building Life Cycles. What causes buildings to no longer be useful? How can the life of a building be prolonged? Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the cause of a building’s demise is its inability to adapt to one of four variables:

From there, I studied architecture that attempts to prolong the building’s lifespan and increase its usability. These precedents include the Chrystal Palace (a system of reconfigurable parts) and Norman Foster’s Hong Kong Shang Hai building (with movable floor plates).*Then I chose a program and a site that would allow me to take the findings of my exploration in flexible building systems and combine them into a single prototypical building whose goal would be to maximize the building’s usage and prolong the building’s lifespan.
Program: Digital LibrarySite: Philadelphia, PA
My idea to create a Digital Library is a direct response to a shift in present day technology from paper books to digital books that is beginning to challenge the necessity of the Library as a physical entity. Why go to the Library when the book can come to you? * The concept of the digital book conflicts with the book as a tangible artifact that occupies space. There is technically no need to designate occupiable space for a digital Library. However, there are a set of events and interactions that take place in occupiable space, that cannot take place in virtual reality, that are central to research. These include 1) Librarian Assistance 2) Chance encounters with people of similar interests and 3) Unintentional discoveries of new recourse and interests.
In this new Library, the physical artifact of the book has been removed from the equation and replaced by something intangible. All that remains is space. Thus, the digital Library is nothing more than a gathering space. My project is a composition of small, medium, and large gathering spaces around an extra large gathering space. These gathering spaces –or chat rooms- each represent a single topic of interest. Subject matter is assigned to a small, medium, or extra large gather space in response to anticipated interest in said topic. The walls and floors of these spaces can be reconfigured to accommodate a range of programmatic needs and a varying demand for small, medium, or large congregation spaces. Additionally, should the building cease to be a library, it is easily reconfigurable into a wide variety program types such as mall, office building, or Cineplex.
The building’s site is Philadelphia PA, a city which has recently suffered budgetary cutbacks that have resulted in the closure of several library branches. The building is situated on the corner of Logan Square, on Benjamin Franklin Avenue, within a grouping of the city’s premier civic buildings.

PRUITT-IGOE NOW COMPETITION: P.I. PARKREIFYING THE RUIN
Those who visit the site of Pruitt-Igoe today do so in search of remnants, for surely its catastrophic destruction, heralding “the end of Modern Architecture,” would leave traces. Perhaps, on the other hand, these people are really in search of a
catharsis.
Catharsis - noun 1.elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression. (Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary)
There can be no true catharsis without an expression of the original complex. P.I. Park (Pruitt-Igoe Park) expresses the mythology of Pruitt-Igoe by reanimating it in the form of a ruin. Activity areas and trees are placed in their originally planned locations and curvilinear paved walkways flow through large hills, mimicking the curvilinear geometries of the original Pruitt-Igoe scheme. Large embankments of earth rise up to partially cover reconstructed ruins of the original Pruitt-Igoe buildings. They simulate years of geological accumulation
and conceptually represent the accretion of myths that have formed the allegorical notion of Pruitt-Igoe’s failure as a symptom of Modern design and its destruction as the end of Modern
Architecture. These remnants may not be occupied - they are unobtainable remnants of Pruitt-Igoe, offering visitors and young architect pilgrims a means of experiencing a catharsis. The “remnants” offer both proof of existence and expression of mythological artifacts by representing them as aged ruins. P.I. Park provides the surrounding community with a community center and activity areas (playgrounds, barbecue areas, climbing walls, etc.); amenities intended for the original Pruitt-Igoe development but never constructed due to lack of finances. The new P.I. Park will take on the life and purpose that the original Pruitt-Igoe development was denied, while offering a traumatized community of architects a kind of reconciliation through the reification and recreation of a metaphysical ruin.

LIGHT AND LANDSCAPEGRASSHOPPER EXERCISE
LIGHT &LAND-SCAPE
This project utilizes Grasshopper to create a horizontal surface, or membrane, which controls the passage of sunlight from the top of the surface to a potential program below. The sizes of the square apertures are controlled by two points on the base of the membrane. The closer the apertures are to these points, the skinnier the apertures become. The angles of these apertures are determined by two attractor points that hover in the space above the membrane. The sizes of the top openings of the apertures can also be scaled in Grasshopper for an even greater degree of control. The following diagrams show four iterations and their respective attractor points, as well as the points that determine the apertures’ sizes. The diagrams at the bottom of each page show the resulting lighting effects of each membrane on a potential programmatic space below.
