My secret is that I am a unique creative contributor that speaks both artistic and technical languages. Not merely a designer in one field or the other, but rather a fluent communicator across the domains. This fluency allows the translation of ideas through a lens of feasibility, technicalities, and multi disciplinary skills to realize creative intent.

Every project is an opportunity to challenge conventional thinking and ignite imagination. In a world where creativity often clashes with practicality, I foster the fluidity between vision and execution. My key to execution is understanding the intricacies of construction and architectural processes. With a meticulous eye for detail, I blend the poetic with the pragmatic, ensuring every concept is not just a vision, but a practical reality.

I am not in it just for the artistry, or just for the technicalities. These are tools I draw from in the composition of meaningful places that can evoke feelings and spark curiosity. My passion is imagining spaces, and my ambition is sculpting them.

Site: Paris, France

Status: Competition complete

With: Lina Ghotmeh - Architecture

Program: Retreat Center

Clichy-la-garenne, once an entirely wooded territory before the 19th century, is now developing in the continuity of Greater Paris. Urban expansion engulfing unbuilt spaces, this project set out to develop a balance between urbanization and the protection of green spaces. It proves how architecture can be a vector of a rapprochement between man and nature.

Water as a structuring element of the territory - the Seine river, the artery irrigating the Ile-deFrance territory, is an element that contributes to the identity of Greater Paris. Clichy-la-Garenne, at the gates of Paris, enjoys immediate proximity to the Seine which turns on itself upstream. This territory has seen ambitious projects, such as that of the portfroideville in the 16th century, and continues to be a major axis of project development, with in particular that of the seine metropolis, linking Le Havre - Rouen - Paris.

Water and green space make up the DNA of the site for this future “Blooming Square.” The art of the impressionists in the late 1800’s and relating urban expansion at the time gave depth to our research of the area and how to design a space that is truthful to the site, and the city.

Set on the cusp of the city, The Seine, and the various parks that surround it, the site - soon to be home of a mixed use office/retail complex - would become a centre for the area. Using the idea of connection, and growth - we created a system to bring the green spaces, and views, into the spaces in between throughout this multi level complex tower.

Using the concept of a tree cutting away at a box, thus creating a “link” that becomes an exterior public space, connecting the interior out, and vice versa. We then used programmatic requirements, and surrounding buildings to inform height, and began building up.

UNTITLED #7

[2017]

Site: East Hills Warehouse - Lawrence, Kansas

Status: Academic Project

With: Kadim Al-Asady

Program: Design Build Installation

An abstract endeavor of place construction, proving an innovation in how we build for our modern world. This Studio-Build project challenges the artist’s role in design and extends the boundaries of how space is composed. It explores possible conditions we may invent from friction fit joints. And proves the inventions through the making of a 1:1 scale model. Interrelated steps stitch together a logic structure based on an imposed grid and invented rules and physical elements emerge from the geometric play. For the first time architecture is not rooted in the built artifact, but in the result of the process of space transformation. The art here lies in the design process rather than as a result of it.

Algorithmic engineering of geometry, and final logic structure with scale model (Above). Composition from logic structure (Below).

Site: Massy, Île-de-France, France

Status: Design Development complete With: Lina Ghotmeh - Architecture

Program: Mixed use urban develooment: office space, retail, public plaza, two phases.

Bi Open Massy takes up a strategic place in the new Atlantis district. Located at the entry to Massy, France, it becomes an iconic element for the inhabitants of the district, the users as well as the users of the main motorway.

The building is on two levels. The ground floor is intended to accommodate tertiary activity of all kinds and the first level is devoted to offices.

The project is expressed in two phases. Totally symmetrical, the southern part rises initially. A buffer is then created between the motorway and the Atlantis district thanks to the public plaza that protects users from noise and visual pollution.

My contribution was the development of the program/spatial layout, and dialing in the facade by defining the complex facade panels. Doing material testing and physical models, the back and forth from the digital model, to physical model, was crucial in advancing the detail of the facade, and how it interacts with the surroundings, as well as the intended program, all under the conditions of client needs/engineer coordination.

Using the design that won the competition for the firm, I worked on developing the program to fit new parameters: client needs, keeping design integrity throughout value engineering. This included rearranging spaces to fit within a new envelope, to work out phases for which construction will take place.

Set in industrial suburban France. A goal of the project as a commercial mix-use development project was to revitalize the area and activate the neighborhood. Program development was always driven back to site specific and community needs.

Facade development was a major part of the work I contributed to. Oscillating between physical models, program layout, coordination with engineers/clients, and renderings, it was a collaborative effort to dial in exactly how the envelope of the building would act.

Keeping the function of central cores at the ground level to orient vertical circulation as well as WC’s/storage, we divided each wing into three offices, each with a separate entrance from the street, and with access to the central public courtyard.

Value engineering and client changes occured post competition. Refinement was worked through a variety of mediums: massing and full architectural models were developed for analysis. A complex material palette was distilled, and how it manifests through the facade system. This process was a back and forth of material studies, physical models and digitally produced drawings/renderings.

Through coordination with the team, supervisors, principal, and engineers, I worked through the detailing of the facade system panels. Working towards getting the facade system design to match the proposed concept, atmosphere, and client wishes.

388 Acre site

12 Buildings

75 Guest Cabins

Mulberry farm is a project centered around Enlightenment. The objective was to integrate each of the buildings on the campus so deeply and intimately into the site of hundreds of acres of forest and hills. I contributed to each building in the project. Shown will be three of the buildings that had a special impact on me and my understanding of wood, steel, and concrete construction. This project was massive in the need for coordination across disciplines: architecture, landscape, structural, HVAC, contractors, clients, and ultimately within each building on the campus.

MEETING HALL

The Meeting Hall is the most complex building on the campus. An 8,500 square foot auditorium building with full back of house and lobby areas, as well as an outdoor deck leading to the central plaza that connects the “core” buildings: The Meeting Hall, Dining Hall, Event Center, and Fitness Center. The concept of this building at the core of the site, is a concrete “bowl” that holds the auditorium risers for seating. This system of concrete piers and slabs connect to form a bowl-like structure which supports the framing for the rest of the exoskeleton: the second floor and roof super structure from a composition of wood framing members and built up steel beams and columns. The result is a building with transparent envelopes towards the views of the pond, and solid envelopes at the back areas. This building is shown here from a mix of concept sketches, to drawings taken directly from the Construction Documentation package. The photos are all taken at midst of construction, as this is the current status of the building. Mulberry Farm (North Carolina)

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS WISDOM

This school offers a place for the education of business wisdom. A small building with a lecture hall and two breakout classrooms, as well as small back of house and administration spaces. The building is centered around a 200 year old Oak tree deemed the “Wisdom Tree.” The entire orientation of the building is around this tree, giving the main lecture hall/ multipurpose space a view directly in admiration of this aged specimen. The building is a play of roofs on two main masses connected by an entry foyer. The building sits on the highest point of the entire site. The main lecture hall mass has a compound sloped roof - the framing members are ripped on the top and bottom to give the slope its rise along both the south and east axes. The two masses are joined by the entry space that opens up to a balcony connecting one classroom and the audtorium space, with views of the entire site. The simple wood framed building is made complex by sitting on top of its foundation to give the effect of the building sitting on a plinth. This also gave way for a crawl space to hold all HVAC equipment and ducting, which made it possible to have an open cavity ceiling exposing on the interior the glulam members. This building began schematic design in August of 2019 and I contributed to the entire process of documentation through construction administration - including coordination among disciplines as well as putting together the specifications, schedules, and handling communication between contractors, engineers, and clients. This building was the first building to start construction for the campus. Mulberry

The cabins. Small one/two bed individual hotel rooms. Built up on steel columns to fit into their respective locations on the site. All 75 cabins are pre fabricated and assembled on site. Each cabin has a private entrance, WC, and private balcony. Each cabin is individually placed into the site to maximize the views and minimize the harm to the earth at each location. There are five versions of the cabins: one bed cabin, two bed cabin, ADA cabin one bed, ADA cabin two bed, and VIP cabin. The differences are slight, and mostly vary in size of cabin footprint, with the VIP cabin being the largest accomodating two beds and a sitting area. The cabins distill details from all buildings throughout the site. Birch plywood finishes, and full glazed corner to allow for the best views. Each cabin has a landing from the road, with a bridge to the cabin entrance. This allows for best placement on the site, and so the only custom construction is the bridge, varying in length and disturbing as little of the earth as possible. Mulberry

2 Multi-purpose buildings

Toulouse Amidonniers was a competition project that spanned the last quarter of 2018. It consisted of a site north west of the city of Toulouse, France. The competition intention was to develop this site with multi-family housing and thoughtfully renovate and keep existing historic chalets. We started by doing extensive site studies and context studies of the area. Taking existing typologies of Toulouse historic architecture and using them to inform the form and atmosphere of the development.

Using the site to inform all decision making, you can see the process of how the extensive site and context studies informed the architecture, which came to be known as a jeux des toits. Using materiality and complex elevations to give personality to the dwellings, and manifest a community through the programed spaces in between.

A site emerges from existing typologies. Many Context studies were undergone to study the relationships of the buildings from the city center as the town expanded outward. This site sits on the northwest cusp of the city. The typologies of the architecture throughout the city were kept top of mind, and used to create a series of masses that may vis-a-vis and nod to the historic heart of this area.

One of the defining elements to this project was the objective to preserve the historic chalets. Using typology studies, we played with different approaches to reshaping and adapting the old: integrating multi family buildings, with a community center, and senior housing.

Typology studies in elevation. Facades of historic Toulouse buildings illustrated to show brick detail and hues that have evolved. This informed the project facades.

Protoype chalet plan and elevation in relationship the multi family buildings. Typology studies drove the iterations - varying heights and functions of multi family housing blocks are shown above.

Creating communities within the site: To preserve the identity of the small historic town, spaces throughout the site were programmed to foster community, and evolve into activated nodes.

SACRED GEOMETRY CHAPEL

[2015]

Site: University of Kansas West Campus, Pioneer Cemetery, Lawrence, KS

Status: Academic

With: Kent Spreckelmeyer

Program: Chapel

A place for contemplation - a chapel made by the combination of systematic lines and areas of suggested use, extrapolated from a sacred geometric figure. This concept of a chapel challenges arbitrariness by the premise of inhabiting the exact structure which composes it.

Numbers and shapes are directly connected to the atmosphere they create. It is about the experience of the structure and the spatial system it defines. This geometry chapel is proof of an ambition to make a fractal of architecture that embodies geometric applications - numeric, ideal, commoninto a larger and indefinite system of the built form. This geometry is not merely form-making but the primary conceptual tool for inhabitation.

For me, this chapel has universal and cosmic implications, but for the rest of the world the objective is perhaps pragmatic. The idea is to give light to how unusual it would be to exist within numbers and systems, and at the same time how ordinary. In every aspect of life we are inhabiting geometry, it is just the matter of how explicit, and to what degree our architecture is daring to connect us to it.

The chapel structure anticipates a computational approach intended to be ultimately algorithmic as well as formulaic. Constructed primitively with only wood. The application of these numeric and geometric systems makes for classic space frame construction.

Site: Port of Beirut, Lebanon

Program: Museum of Emotions

Positive emotion space

Negative emotion space

Reception

“Some of you say, ‘Joy is greater than sorrow,’ and others say, ‘Nay, sorrow is the greater.’ But I say unto you, they are inseparable.”

- Khalil Gibran.

We approached the project from a view of expressing the Lebanese condition. To put into physical form, the experience of dichotomyLiving in pain for your home, and at the same time constructing a life positively, with love and happiness. But living a life in which these two conditions are inseparable. Not able to have one without the other, and while existing within one, not being able to forget the other side is right on the other side.

Deconstruction to Construction. The site of the August 4th, 2020 Port of Beirut blast provices the base for contrast. We build spaces of emotion from the contrast of the destroyed and the hopeful. Positive and Negative. Inventing an order from the disorder.

More of an exploration of the geometry of meaning rather than an intended A to B concept to deliverable process, the plan of the pavilion emerged through a free drafting techniqueletting the lines become the emotions and vice versa.

Inseprable describes the relationship between the nature of being in space. Existing within a dichotomy of positive and negative is more of a symbioctic experience than one of contrasted feeling.

Program: Primary residence, 2 bed 2.5 bath

Guest residence gym pool

This house is for a thoughtful actor. They wanted a place that serves as a haven from the city while bringing in the chic-ness of the city to this two hundred year old land in Pennsylvania. They wanted a place for creatives and friends alike to gather, celebrate, and create together. After going through design iterations and never feeling like we “had it,” a look back at the clients program inspired a shift back to the core wishes for this place: a place to gather and celebrate and perform. A central circle driveway enters through the main house, and opens up to a dance studioturned-amphitheater orients the program around it, facing the south views overlooking a valley. [2021]

Knowing the client wanted a primary dwelling and a guest dwelling, the design took off from there. Setting the house on the site came down to keeping it directly south of the original residence, and orienting it with the best views of the land.

Program was stacked for public/private spaces, with a deck in the center. The guest wing opens up to an auditorium for the client, an actor, to have recitals - intent was to create a home as a generational gathering space for creatives alike to flourish. Left is sketch depicting foundation walls on site.
