Shelves

Shelves Bookstore was the first project of my design class. The uran Agora project required the students to design a store of a kind on a small parcel of land, with a required height restriction. Since I am a music lover, I decided to creat a book-store where music would also be sold. My inspiration came from a vinyl collection I had which was housed in a black crate. I decided to design the building like a shelf, where the uilding’s frame would also serve as the shelves to house the books, cds and vinyl.

Concept

The model shows a initial version of the bookstore. The final design on the first page shows the second and third floors joined together, which came about due to the aesthetics and height restrictions.

This is the final design project of my college carreer. The design required the students to design a full functioning building, which catered to its occupants and the community. The ground floor plan shows the culmination of multiple studies done on a site which is bounded by an expressway, the brooklyn Bridge and a site which is has a complex contour feature. The first two floors housed a mall for the community, the third, fourth, and fifth floors housed office spaces and the tower housed the residential units.

From this part of my presentation, one gets to see the house and how it sited. From this view one can see

one can have a great view of the surrounding features.

The intent of this project was to design a vacation home in any environment I found to be interesting.. I had always been fascinated by woodlands and treehouses, so I decided to create a vacation home that took influences from a couple of homes I had researched and incorporate them into a treehouse, thus creating a simple but unique building.

The architects of the early part of the twentieth century foresaw a world made of innovative material, which allowed them to do more with less, envisioning metropolises that were devoid of the ground plane. Many great architects before us like Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, Toyo Ito, and Rem Koolhaas, among others. These architects made bold statement with their designs and finished products without any apology, and broke norms and shackles that had been set on them by their predecessors.Following in their footsteps, we would like to continue with what they have done, by bridging the gap between Technology and the Natural elements and environment which has been scarred by the progressive development of technology. As a young and energetic firm we see ourselves and hope to become innova-tors, by generating new ideas and technologies to usher our profession into a promising future. We would be a high design firm with original ideas and philosophies? Most certainly. But what would distinguish us from the rest of our colleagues would be our commitment to providing good work, and handle the process with a professional standard of care.

Taking an Avant Garde approach would be key for us, since without that we would not be likely to stumble upon an original idea. Innovation is just a new way of doing something or "new stuff that is made useful ideas applied successfully in practice. And I guess the goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Architecture as we see it now is a voice of a generation where it reflects the time and the people of that period, therefore, we as architects are not only going to create, but we would create timeless pieces which no one would dare ignore.

REM KOOLHAASTOYO ITO

“Innovation is taking a leap of faith and hope that you fly”.Those words were from my partner and I, a phrase that we had become so familiar with during the course of time together working. Although it was a four week project we wanted to create something different from what our colleagues were doing. There were two architects we had in mind who we felt had a aura about them. Rem Koolhaas, the architect with the bold and overwhelming designs and Toyo Ito, whose works were just jaw dropping, and breathtaking

In this new age of Technology, and virtual reality, architecture has become synonymous with the new age and innovations that have sprung across the globe in the last decade..

INNOVATION, BEAUTYSPIRITUALITY &FREEDOM

Since it was a group project I was responsible for designing and laying out the first floor. I kept the original wood beams in the building and then went ahead to design around them , encas-ing each space in the first floor with glass with wood sidings. The conference room located on the said floor, also shared the same concept as the work space, however the wood workshop was design with the intention of a garage, thus it had big garage doors, and the walls were made of the same kind of wood we had previously used on the other spaces, but minus the glass openings.

FIRTS FLOOR PLAN SECOND FLOOR PLAN

The second floor which was tackled by my partner, Robbie Pena, took on more ofa playful character. He decided to alocate the two principle offices on that floor, and open up the rest ofthe space for the employees. He and I both felt that in order to increase productivity, we had to create more of a rich and inspirational envirinment, thus the second floor space had a substantial portion of it allocated for not only entertainmnet, but had a design room, that featured state of the art visualization tools which would enhance the flow of the work and also stimultae their creative juices. For me in particular I get a lot of my creative ideas not by barin-storming, but by partaking in a diffrent activity, which is more mentally stimulating, and if you really think about it, enter-tainmnet nd architecture could be second cousins.

I was commissioned by the same band once again to design another graphic identity for their second installment.. They opted for the same urban theme which was prevelant in the fisrt design I did for them. I designed a couple of covers for them which although they loved, were not sold on it, until I came up witha radical design by first using one on the images I had shot, and distorting the image, and recreating it intoa stained glass design.
