Accessibility for all inhabitants was a critical component in our location selection. This decision illustrates our dedication to offering convenient access across the community, highlighting the necessity of intelligent site selection in order to improve everyone's overall living experience.
The vision for Stanton Commercial Hub revolves around creating a spacious public square that prioritizes people and pedestrians, transforming it into a vibrant community gathering spot. Central to this concept is a unique food outlet incubator where residents can not only showcase their culinary expertise but also engage in hands-on cooking lessons, fostering a collaborative culinary environment. This versatile space doubles as an event venue, enhancing its role as a community focal point. Furthermore, the inclusion of a hyper local transportation stop aims to facilitate swift movement for individuals with disabilities within the sloped neighborhood. Additionally, an apartment extension to the existing building addresses the crucial need for affordable housing, ensuring residents have access to a comfortable and sustainable living space. This comprehensive approach aims to create a thriving, inclusive hub that caters to various community needs.

As part of the Neighborhood Development Analysis of Manhattan, New York, students had the opportunity to propose plans for the development of two underutilized corner lots in the Chelsea neighborhood and the adaptation of the historic high line that is immediately adjacent to their design. The project’s chosen location was 10th Avenue W20. This location provided an opportunity to create both an international museum and an indoor facility. start from the third floor, there are apartments and penthouses available. Using tactical urbanism, we make the Chelsea district a friendly and comfortable location for visitors, foreigners, and local residents.

One of our responsibilities was to create a design for a Denver World Fair Pavilion. Prior to searching for a historic structure to renovate, we had to choose a nation. This concept’s second element was a space corporation that would remain in the building following the exposition. I have selected the Ivory Coast as the location for my project.
I choose to base my concept after selecting my country on the Kong Mosque, which has been standing for more than a century.

Kideney Architect Pc (Internship)
During this internship, I created 3D structural models for three different elementary schools, interpreting and modernizing architectural drawings from 1960 to 2005, enhancing my skills in translating legacy into digital formats.
During this internship, I worked on construction documents, focusing on creating detailed ceiling plans, conducting research, and designing lighting fixtures based on my supervisor’s guidance. Additionally, I contributed to the design of a cupola, ensuring functionality and aesthetic alignment with the overall project vision.

Evolution of Upper East side Manhattan :
The pandemic and climate change conditions are reshaping cities. As commercial areas decline, residential neighborhoods are being looked at for creating vibrant hubs where people can live, work, and socialize around the clock. This involves redesigning shared spaces to be more efficient and environmentally friendly. New types of buildings and public areas will emerge to support this lifestyle and tackle challenges like resilience and sustainability. To make these neighborhoods strong, it's crucial to build connections among residents, even strangers, in public spaces. This research project aims to understand public spaces in American cities through four steps: analyzing how urban layout affects society, looking at how American cities traditionally create places, studying a Manhattan neighborhood's development, and proposing new designs to see how they might work.
