Personal Project
IN THE EYES OF THE CAMERA
Shifting between 7 historic sites of Istanbul, the temporary installation exhibits photography work from several local artists. The goal is to maintain the chaos of the city like smells and noises withing the installation, while blindfolding the audience from visually experiencing the city with a curtain, forcing them to see the urban landscape from the photographers’ eyes.
7 SITES As a temporary summer installation, the structure will rotate through 7 different historic sites from the months of May to September. Therefore, a structure that is easy to put together, take apart, and store is important.

ROTATE + DIM
Inspired by movement along subway train carts, this project introduces visual & spatial changes such as light intensity and rotation change between cores to solve a prominent problem present in libraries: noise pollution.
SITE ANALYSIS
Public spaces are common, but they are very specific in terms of program. Downtown Boston significantly lacks unlabeled public space where program can be decided by the people.
The map outlines the public spaces and buildings around the site.
ROTATION AS A PROGRAM CHANGE SIGNALLER
Changing rotation between program cores signals that this is a new space, and there are new rules to the space. The more the rotation, the more drastic the change in expectations.
EXPECTED SOUND LEVEL
QUIET LOUD
NATURAL LIGHT INTENSITY AS A PROGRAM SIGNALLER
Expected sound level in room is implied by light: more light plays into louder daylight activities, less light signals night-time quiet & isolated programs.
INTENSITY OF SUNLIGHT

“URBAN HOUSING”
Located in urban Boston bordering a college campus, this project experiments to provide a balance between public & private space, and the spaces in between. Project has housing on the North side of the site, and a student center on the South side.
Start off with a simple T-shaped massing
Cut out a tunnel for Semi-private walkway
Cut/add a 10° angle to break the line of sight and create public openings
End result.
Inhabitance transect
Insulated glazing unit
Aluminum glazing system
Precast concrete
3’ foil faced mineral wool
Grout bar
Fire stop
Sheet metal pour stop
Steel framing
2hr rated fireproof spray
5/8’’ gypsum wall board
Batt insulation
Metal stud framing
The facade and massing are designed to blend in and compliment the dense & chaotic nature of urban Boston. The facade is red/pink pigmented concrete in order to recognize and respect the red brick facade of the site. The study model is made of a mixture of clay and plaster with custom dye.
