“.. .every t ime you ask a student (or any Tanzanian) what their favori te food is the response is always ugali or r ice. They don’t even say what they eat with i t because they don’t have a choice. The same it went with ‘your favorite bui ldings?’ The response: this one. Why? Because i t ’s the only bui lding they know besides their own house.

I was amazed with the kids’ abi l i ty to start to question their environment, why i t is l ike i t is, and to think cri t ical ly. Thank you for this!”

Re-Envisioning the Station: Professional Model MakingWith schematic design team Richard Dattner, Jeff Dugan, and Eugene Kwok, Dattner Architects. Role: Model design and fabrication. Confidential transit cl ient. New York, NY. 2011

This project is a re-imagining study for a major transit stat ion and city landmark which includes reorganized retai l , new sculptural glass entrances, and simpli f ied circulat ion. The model is bui l t in layers of black acryl ic, foam, and basswood, revealing the interaction between rotunda and platform, retai l arcade, circulat ion elements, and track level.

The Forest and the Field:Mixed-Use Urban Residential Live the Box Competit ion, New Jersey Inst i tute of Technology With Alexis Coir, Soohyun Park, and James SobczekNewark, New Jersey. 2008

A mixed-use, mult i- family housing complex which ut i l izes the abundant resource of reused shipping containers as i ts basic unit of structure. Perforat ion on various scales act as a method of humanizing these simple shapes into spaces for l iv ing and working. Organical ly stacked amidst a r igid three-dimensional grid of ut i l i ty and structural members, units form perforated pods that serve as a private canopy that shelters dynamic publ ic spaces below.

Undergraduate Studio 3, Instructor: Sophia Psarra, University of Michigan Toledo, Ohio. 2008

What objects do we value? What is worth keeping or throwing away? What do we covet and why? Through program juxtaposit ion, a f luttering residential facade, and reuse of forgotten i tems embedded in resin as a bui lding material, this housing complex introduces a new way of thinking about what Americans value. This project encourages growth in Toledo through a deepening awareness of the place’s own history, from the scale of the forgotten toothbrush to that of an entire community.
