A MODULAR APPROACH TO SPATIAL DELINEATION
Material Tectonics Spring 2013 Group Project Professor : Kate Higgins
THE LINK-IN-CHAIR
Material Tectonics incorporated both analog and digital strategies employed throughout the process of designing
& making. With a focus on the tools we had at hand we designed a chair and screen with a modular pattern that could be cut from our laser cutter. The Link-InChair consisted of a modular link piece that fitted together around pvc pipe with a back drop
screen with a replicated link piece. Restrictions for design/build included a maximum cutting area of 18x24
budget.

Architecture Sr. Praxis Studio FORT WASHINGTON PARK Landscape Spring 2013 - Individual Project
and the little red lighthouse
Professor : Jamie Larson
The project area for Sr. Spring Praxis Studio was Fort Washington Park which is located directly below the George Washington Bridge in Northern Manhattan. The difficulties with this site ranged from current programming to general maintenance but mainly consisted of connectivity problems. While the sites location added to the uniqueness of the park is was the main issue in connecting the community and users to the park itself. With a continued disconnection between the community and Fort Washington Park that stretches back to the first installation of the G.W.B., it was clear that a new connection needed to be formed. With a jumble of exit and entrance ramps to the G.W.B. along with multiple highways, and an Amtrac line, a straight connection from the community to park is difficult to find. With this in mind the goals were to connect the community to their long lost park, activate existing dead spaces along the way, and create a easy way finding path for the users. This ultimately defined the
RESTITCHING of the Great Grey City to the Little Green Park.

and the little red lighthouse
Professor : Jamie Larson
The design begins with a simple way finding solution that would consist of a lighthouse thermoplastic graphic that will be placed on the path. The light house graphic will strengthen the existing path making a stronger
connected and
cohesive trail to the park. Along this way finding path, three existing dead spaces will be brought to life by programming defined by its surroundings. Dead space one is located along the current path under the tangle of overpasses. Full of unused infrastructure this area sits and acquires garbage and graffiti, along with unwanted permanent guests. This area will
be transformed into a very usable mountain bike park with a pedestrian path that will interact with the bikers but not interfere. Following the mountain bike area is a unused rare peace of forest land in the everything but green city of NY. Keeping its naturalistic feel, this area will be transformed into a Mini Central Park, allowing the users to wonder through paths while getting glimpses of their next moves. Hop on the way finding path once more and you will find yourself at the park, along with a magnificent water front amphitheater. The amphitheater will allow for shows to be played creating money for the park, along with a dock surrounding the structure allowing for fishing and other water front activities. These designs strive to activate these current dead spaces while making a stronger and more visible connection to Fort Washington Park and the Little Red Lighthouse.

OAK TREE ROAD URBAN DESIGN CONCEPT
Located within Iselin Nj, a small less than half mile strip of Oak Tree Road was a great site to study and form possible sustainable solutions in a urban environment. Besides dealing with the typical urban aspects of the street, we were also faced with incorporating the strong South Asian cultural background. Our goal was to address urban
revitalization, such as mass transit opportunities, smart streets, and green infrastructure while creating a balance between commercial needs and demands of residents.
As a group we designed a plan that densified the area both residentially and commercially while incorporating necessary improvements such as parking garages, grocery stores, a connection to Metro Park Station, and a school in a 5,
10, and 25 year outlook.

OAK TREE ROAD SHOPPING PROMENADE
Advanced Landscape Architecture Studio Fall 2012 - Individual Project Professor : Dr. Wolfram Hoefer
My individual site design was located south of Oak Tree Rd. in the transition area of our large precession. The site needed to create
a harmonious connection between commercial and residential. Creating the overall shape to the shopping promenade are two mixed use buildings, with ground level commercial space and second level residential living. The mixed use building on the west features a grocery store to the south with a ground level parking garage towards the center, allowing the garage a usable
roof to become
space for the upper level residents. The roof allows light through with paisley shaped light holes that are extruded at various heights to
allow children to play on. Five specially design paisley tree grates pass through the site which integrate design and culture while creating walkable
surfaces.

easton ave. corridor Easton Avenue, in New Brunswick NJ is a very large college
student, resident, and
commuter corridor with a very unsupported streetscape and building organization. In this Urban Design Studio we challenged ourselves to design a strong sustainable building organization with features that would give the Easton Ave. corridor an actual sense of place. Buildings were organized by user type along the street with thoughtfully placed courtyards.

be temporary and use quick installation materials along with little change to the existing site. The park floor was made from
roof tiles, eco-flex pavers, and recycled crushed concrete. These materials were able to be installed fast and needed little maintenance. A simple wooden stage is constructed for public shows, along with a wooden trellis placed over an existing basement foundation. Movable seating is added to the site to enjoy small plays or pull over to the street side to people watch.
