VIA Centro Plaza San Antonio, TX

Senior Designer, Perkins Eastman, 2014 - 2015 “Plaza integration of Sustainability Transportation Planning & historic rehabilitation” A multi modal transit facility re-imagined as a town square in the Tradition of San Antonio’s great public spaces. At the western edge of San Antonio’s central business district, VIA Centro Plaza is where transit systems and public life converge. The design of the massive transit center improves connectivity among existing VIA transportation services and introduces new infrastructure and public space.

Preserving historic structures in the area,The Project restored the street grid, improved pedestrian access, and created a new town square that will spark future development.

An iconic sculptural tower is a welcoming beacon of light and design features including underground cisterns for storm water runoff and solar panels enhance the plaza’s sustainability.

Centro Plaza balances mass transit with open green space, mixed-use development, and public art with a design that’s locally inspired and forward-looking at the same time.

2015 AIA Honor Award Regional and Urban Design The Concept Behind Minneapolis’ Target Field Station is proposing a lawn and amphitheater to the station.

The project embodies several design principles for “open transit,” beginning with its compression into a dense, high-quality series of interconnected experiences.

This density created comfortable walking distances with clear sight lines, bringing the varying transit modes together; opened up the rest of the site to allow for future development; allowed for an iconic station canopy and amphitheater as its centerpiece; brought the transit and cultural users together in one shared space.

Huishan North Bund Waterfront Landscape Shanghai, China

Senior Designer, Perkins Eastman, 2009 - 2014 “Huishan North Bund represents an increasingly important typology of urban architecture: waterfront regeneration. Throughout the world, cities are rediscovering and re-imagining their neglected and underutilized waterfronts. As former maritime facilities and working waterfronts are redeveloped to become vibrant, waterside communities, the public at large is also being invited back to the water’s edge,to enjoy riverfronts and harbor fronts —arguably any city’s most valuable natural assets.”

The Design Principal is based on the notion of “Ribbons,” is formed by a structure consisting of a continuous ribbon, that is inspired by forms existing in the natural world along with Qatari screen motifs. The public is able to meander through an open and extended courtyard, which connects the two planned station entrances serving both residents and the general public.

Port Authority Bus Terminal New York, NY

Senior Designer, Perkins Eastman, 2016 Design + Deliverability Competition, Finalist The Convergence Design includes new below grade direct access to the Lincoln Tunnel for Buses and trucks without engaging the street grid. This new access and connection to the existing tunnels, right at the threshold to the city, is within the footprint of the Javits Center.

The area and geometry required for new tunnel connection is readily constructed away from the water’s edge below grade within the Javits property.

Buses and trucks go directly to the terminal or storage and out of view.

This strategic improvement will have a positive impact as it separates cars and buses/trucks before they enter the city, vastly improving the arrival experience.

This results in an efficient layout for the bus terminal with clear and direct circulation routes in and out of the city.
