1. CYCLICAL MIGRATION

Inspired by the observation of seasonal fluctuations between humans and birds.

Fall 2021 [Course: ARC 408]

Scope: Le Bonifiche

Professor: Luca Ponsi

Location: Orbetello, Italy

*Collaborative work with Justin DiFabritis*

Orbetello experiences a cyclical fluctuation of population in two ways: tourism and bird migration. Throughout the summer months, Orbetello becomes a tourist destination for individuals who seek charming towns, beautiful views, and unique culture. As the tourists begin to leave in the fall, hundreds of species of birds from all over the world migrate to the Orbetello Lagoon due to the shallow waters, biodiverse ecosystem, and protected status. This proposal consists of cyclical interventions that appeal to both groups through adaptable programs for the use of both humans and birds based on the yearly seasonal cycle. This adaptive platform intervention change location, organization, and program relative to the seasons. The platforms are designed objects within themselves, capable of providing a space for multiple uses relative to the current season with a series of elements and elevated path. During the winter months, the platforms would be used as landing runways for the paramotor mini planes used to guide endangered birds to the lagoon, as well as a pedestrian footbridge for avid bird watchers to observe the birds from a safe distance above. During the summer months, the platforms would instead be used as open tourist spaces for leisurely activities. Therefore, the program consists of specific, but vague, interventions throughout Orbetello that are constructed using the designed platform and element mechanism. Each platform has the capability to move on the lagoon in the cardinal direction, as well as rotational capabilities that create various typologies, the possibilities for program are truly endless in all seasons.

2. THE AGRICULTURAL SHED: REDEFINED

Re-designing the shed typology through integrated farming within the context of environmental degradation.

Spring 2021 [Course: ARC 407]

Scope: Beyond the 98th Meridian Professor: Adam Frampton & Karolina Czeczek Location: Dallam County, Texas

*Collaborative work with Charlotte Bascombe + Neha Tummalapalli*

This intervention re-examines the agricultural shed typology within the context of current environmental degradation and mass production culture. At a large scale, the project addresses the lack of research on widespread integrated crop and livestock systems (ICLS) implementation by converting the site into testing grounds, and at the architectural scale it draws from the rotational use of space that is an essential component of integrated farming. In ICLS, the land is rotated over time between crop, pasture, and livestock uses. Throughout each season, changes would occur on the site and through the building. It’s been projected that technologically advanced ICLS can be the future of agriculture in this region of the great plains. The design is proposed along the path of the pivots as the pivot is an essential component of the design scheme. The scheme includes integrating animals and humans in one space while still maintaining privacy at the residential level. At both the ground and second floor level, a ten foot grid system was used to align the various spaces of the facility. Hay insulation is used not only as a sustainable replacement but also alludes to the connection between the farming environment and the building. It encloses the human populated areas and furthers the connection between the people and the animals cohabiting. Corrugated metal roofing was chosen to refer to the typology of the pre-existing barns. The screen of the building is cladded along the exterior wall which encloses the whole structure and can be used as a ventilation system. This redefined agricultural shed reacts to the damaging effects of current agribusiness industries by facilitating more sustainable farming practices.

Livestock graze the field crops/ pastures, either directly or after harvesting.

Farmers collect the manure the fields as fertilizer amount of synthetic

manure and apply it to (in addition to small synthetic fertilizer).

The natural fertilizer improves soil health and quality, thereby increasing crops yields while reducing greenhouse gas emissions as less synthetic fertilizer is required.

3. AFRICAN URBAN SCHOOL

Proposal centered around function, materiality, safety, sustainability, and adaptability.

Summer 2021 [Competition]

Scope: Enko Education Personal work Location: Bamako, Mali

*Collaborative

This proposal centers on the idea of the urban school as a sheltered but welcoming and opening center. The scheme revolves around a raised central courtyard that acts as a meeting ground for not just the students relaxing during their recess but can also be transformed into a civic space for community gatherings, lessons, and workshops concerning the neighborhood. The interior spaces are organized around this courtyard and are separated into wings, the administrative wing shields the front facade of the school from the streetscape, but it’s perforations allow it to simultaneously monitor the exterior and the interior of the courtyard. The classroom wings are designed to facilitate multiple learning methods, with retractable walls allowing for the transformation of the classrooms into shared learning spaces and the potential for larger collaborative activities between groups of students. The warm climate necessitates means of ventilation both for air circulation and thermal comfort reasons; the barrel vault typology is rotated 90° to intersect with the roofs of the primary stacked volumes and is perforated with adjustable louvers to allow for greater control of climate conditions. The entire building features a veranda which looks down onto the courtyard, promoting the feeling of transparency while simultaneously adding a further layer of separation between the learning spaces and recreation spaces. The separation of the primary and secondary schools were re-imagined in this way, interpreted as two wings which share the largest recreation space and circulation but with visual transparency to prevent the two age groups from being completely isolated from each other. Interstitial recreational zones spaced throughout the project provide moments of rest and promote collaboration between the age groups. The overall organization of the building is designed not to separate students but allow them to communicate in inventive ways.

4. AN INTEGRATED LIFESTYLE

Proposal centered around the seamless merging of the atmosphere, nature, and structure.

Spring 2020 [Course: ARC 208]

Scope: Landscape Professor: Abingo Wu Location: Syracuse, New York

*Collaborative work with Ethan Hagan*

As a form of mitigating the current climate crisis, this project explores environmental aspects such as natural ventilation and sunlight in order to create a structure that merges the outdoor nature of the Onondaga Lake with a dome structure in a seamless way. By using the existing ground and piercing the dome structure into the hill, an interior synthetic environment was created in the interior of the structure in order to create a space that could be used year round while still maintaining a sensation of being outdoors. The dome shape design is crucial to this proposal as it is a structure that will receive direct sunlight year round as well as maintain uniform temperature throughout the structure. This is an important aspect to this proposal as the idea is that a person inside the dome will experience everything they would in an outdoor scenario at more comfortable light and temperature levels. The interior program includes a cultural center along with an indoor park on the edge of Onondaga Lake that mimics that of its exterior surroundings.

5. BENTLEY BENCH

Prototype for a bench designed around firm joinery and repetition without use of chemical adhesive.

Spring 2022 [Course: ARC 584]

Scope: Furniture Design & Fabrication

Professor: Timothy Stenson

Location: Syracuse, New York

Inspired by the Charlotte Perrian Tokyo Bench and the George Nelson Platform Bench for Herman Miller, this prototype explores the use of the halved joint method and the drilling of countersunk screws in a repetitive manner on the application of wood. Continuous three-dimensional linearity was implemented as an aesthetic technique to generate strength and firmness and restrain from the use of chemical adhesives. The purpose behind this design strategy is to create a sense of uniformity and harmony throughout the furniture piece, hence each piece comes together to create connectivity and cohesion. The Bentley Bench was fabricated using CNC milling for the individual pieces and hand crafted for details and assemblage. A wooden jig was pre-made for drilling point holes for easier insertion of countersunk screws, this allowed for consistency in keeping the angled backrest at 7-degrees along the seat. All joinery is hidden for aesthetic purposes throughout the design. Its suggestion for function is to be placed in a reception area or entrance (or porch) of a residence. The materials include two 4’ x 8’ 18-count birch plywood and 32 1-1/4” nails (two per rest piece).

6. PARADIGM OF THE POST NATURAL

A design investigation critiquing capitalist ideals in the context of environmental degradation.

Fall 2022 [Course: ARC 505]

Scope: Thesis Preparation

Professor: Jean-Francois Bedard + Britt Eversole + Julie Larsen

Location: Athabasca Oil Sands + Chernobyl

The anthropocene has become an era where human centered design approaches have controlled and manipulated the environment we inhabit. Within the anthropocene we have commodified everything from natural resources to organisms for our own pleasure and success. This research and design reflects on what we humans and our companion species have become and encourages us to face the reality of how design development introduced by humans has created a positive feedback loop that in turn has shaped our own lives. By using artificial intelligence, specifically Midjourney we continue to use technology to envision the evolving interrelationships between human beings, animals and the environment to depict alternative futures. Manipulating text-to-image AI generators through the use of text constraints and parameters allows us to perceive unimaginably transformed environments generated as an effect of destruction. Species are being radically altered in their biology to inhabit and co-live within these extreme ecological conditions. All organisms become homogenized with the landscape causing a sense of ambiguity in distinguishing each one from another and even from the environment due to the continuous chemical fusion between species and their surroundings. In researching two existing mutant hotspots, Chernobyl and the Alberta Oil Sands, the reality of these conditions become apparent. In researching the way these non-human organisms live and cohabit with each other and the toxicity around them we are able to understand how their mutational biology has altered given the site conditions. The aim of this thesis is to merge these concepts and transform design into a paradigm that allows for thought-provoking questioning of the regime of human life rather than simply designing for the servicing of those regimes.
