The site for this project was split between two lots of land across the Atlanta Beltline Trail. The beltline commitee is pushing for mixed-use developments along the trail so I developed a hotel with retail at Beltline and Lake Ave, public amenities and units overlooking the neighborhood and Atlanta to the west.

[ DESIGN ] The area was perceived just as a route for a majority of pedestrians were observed to always pass by the area, never stopping other than for Krog St. Market. The design intent was then to create a destination inhibited site activity.
1) Circulation Major pedestrian paths were given priority.

2) Views Desirable access points were decided on.
3) Work Hotel programs (pools and spas) were split into “play” and “relax” categories, then split by the beltline. This a created a duality between the 2 lots.
4) Edges Units were placed at edges to create dual courtyards for a new destination on the beltline.

This studio project explored how time can tectonically effect architecture. The site was The MET business park in West End Atlanta and was a group project where teams of 3 were formed and each team picked a building on the site to redesign in 3 time periods: 2019 (current), 2039, and 2119. I redesigned building 1000 based on the premise that the site would return to its roots as a shipping warehouse and would be utilized once again but this time with a futuristic twist; as an Amazon Drone Hive.

[ D ES I G N ] Each member of the team had to design in consideration of what would be “existing” before their time. I designed the Amazon Drone Hive off of my partner’s fitness center for the year 2039.
1) Remove Remove existing roof and track from 2039 project. Keep existing structural components.

2) Logistics
Orange conveyor belts parcels Burgundy conveyor belts shipping containers. Rail line to be unloaded upon entry and repacked when empty.
3) Frame Porous frame buildup for drone passage, and dynamic skin to enhance performance and speed of logistical component.
19
[ LOGISTICAL DESIGN ] Conveyor belts for packages and another for shipping containers, run simultaneously as cranes lift the containers and drones open, unpack, and repack them with transfer shipments. Drones then fly them out to their destinations and cranes place the now full containers back onto the train.

[ T H E C I T Y AE T H E R U S ] An Urban Design Methodology for Energy Use Human society needs a solution to tackle the largest energy consumer: the city. I think that we can use building morphology at an urban scale to offset our energy usage within our cities. This thesis proposes a design methodology to develop and study various urban morphologies across cities that simultaneously consumes energy responsibly while also unlocking new forms of architectural and urban experience. The goal is to use a wide range of methods to produce new morphologies and open up a new way of thinking where the urban planners and architects of the future can recognize the importance of morphological form and its potential contributions to the natural environment, the built environment and the human experience. *Thesis book can be submitted upon request.

[ T H E C I T Y AE T H E R U S ] An Urban Design Methodology for Energy Use Sites were selected based on density and climate. The Koppen Climate map was overlaid on top of an image of the world at night to find dense cities in the 4 climates shown below. The brighter areas show the denser urban areas of the world. Only dense cities that are in consistent climates were considered. Sites were also selected based on the age of the city to study how the method changes due to age of the urban fabric. The cutoff age for cities was based on their founding in relation to the industrial revolution (late 1800s-early 1900s).

[ SITE 1/4 - SINGAPORE ] Kallang District Park The first site of my thesis was in Singapore due to its predictable warm, humid, and wet climate. The existing site only had 2 small office towers and warehouses for light industrial program. My design intervention breaks down the massive site with a porous street grid, and gives the city the “living hub� singapore was already looking into for this same site.
28
29
[ D ES I G N ] The site was examined, and critiqued on how it can possibly fit Singapore’s requirements for urban planning. The design needed to accomodate for future density and use as a “living hub” for the area.
1) Circulation
A 200’x300’ street grid is used to break up the site for porosity and alignment to major streets to NW and NE.
30
2) Urban Design
Density, and public spaces with room for growth are integrated into the new block structure.
3) Morphological Manipulation
Alter roof plane to shade exterior walls and pull back + carve blocks to provide indirect natural light. Integrate cross ventilation by staggering openings.
4) Urban Reconciliation
A path is carved for circulation, and also provides ventilation through the venturi effect from an open air theater that activates the main green space.

[ S I T E 2 / 4 - M OS C OW ] Arbat District The second site of my thesis project was in Moscow, Russia. The site is located at the intersection of the Garden Ring and Arbat Ave. in the Arbat district, one of the oldest districts of Moscow. This site was chosen specifically to see how the design methodology could flex and adapt to different climatic conditions and an older urban fabric.
32
33
[ D ES I G N ] The site was examined, and critiqued on how buildings can cluster together for maximum heat retention and still preserve the integrity of the original urban fabric where many interconnected courtyards activate the ground plane.
1) Circulation Keep the porous, and organic nature of this old urban fabric that lends itself to wandering paths.
34
2) Urban Design Identify which buildings can benefit from clustering and which ones don’t need it due to programmatic restrictions or others (like apartment buildings)
3) Morphological Manipulation
Smaller buildings merge together into a new mass and all south facing walls are angled to 57S and enlarged for maximum solar exposure during the underheated period.
4) Urban Reconciliation Angle and arranged new masses to allow for northern summer breezes and to block winter southwestern winds.

[ U N R A V EL T I M E ] A Timeless TimePiece The design unravels a single surface to hold pens, a notepad and a clock.
38
[ EN I G M A ] Light As Matter The design of the table lamp is to be a source of light and also react to light in the round. The goal of the design was to create a sculptural light piece that looks as if it was wildly emerging from it’s light source.

[ b[o]x ] A Precious Container For Precious Items This jewelry box contains 3 levels for 3 different types of jewelry. The top holds the smallest items, the middle holds bracelets, and the bottom of the box are for watches. The asian-inspired design of the box features a walnut base and feet to form a plinth to elevate it from the surface it is resting on. The walls are made from curly maple with walnut insets to connect the walnut lid and base together. The idea was to have these precious woods to form a precious container to house precious to me; my jewelry.
