The competition saw to the redesign of 135,000 GSF of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Modern and Contemporary Wing. The project was headed

by David Chipperfield Architects who invited Deborah Berke Partners and Dream the Combine to partner in the competition. DBP acted as a managing company aiding in establishing a common value proposition and providing insight into local matters. The scheme proposed two intertwining pathways, stemming from the Petrie Court and Rockefeller Wing, to link patrons to a reimagined roof gallery and garden. Interior gallery spaces were relegated to the core of the redesign, while multipurpose gallery/circulation spaces wrapped the outer edges of the structure.

The overall landscaping scheme, designed by Studio Zewde, placed the structure atop a large orthogonal witness garden carved from the earth paying homage to the Lenape people displaced from their lands.

Four Seasons Hotel Charleston, South Carolina

Deborah Berke Partners | Spring 2022 | 300,000 sq ft RFP response: New construction: scheme & dwgs.

The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences project is a 300,000 sq ft ground-up project in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina. The site ties together (3) adjacent properties to form a P-shaped lot, linking King Street to the West with Meeting Street to the East. The scheme proposes a 7-story narrow residential bar butted against a 7-story hotel block, punctured by a new pedestrian walkway. The project calls for 130 hotel rooms, 40 residential condos, and additional 32,000 GSF of retail, fitness, and event spaces. The scheme adapts the elevated porch and urban walkway at a city block scale to create a new form of dwelling centralized around a shared courtyard. The lane redefines the edges of the block and allows for increased permeability for pedestrian foot traffic through the interior of the site.

The Connecticut Avenue project is a 900,000 sq ft adaptive reuse project in Washington, D.C seeking to convert commercial space to high-end luxury residential suites. The existing lot is comprised of 2 structures, a 12-story North tower and 10-story South tower, on a steep hill with a 30 ft change in elevation. The scheme proposes nearly 600 new high-end residential units bifurcated by a grand galleria flanked by amenity spaces. The project readapts the pentagonal mass of the south tower to a permeable U-shaped stepping structure to allow for more access to daylight. The crease between the north and south tower is punctuated with a jewel box lobby flanked by retail spaces. The pool and sun terraces are relegated to the roof top along with 2 new levels of luxury penthouse suites.

Hydraulíca Iztapalapa, Mexico City

Princeton University | M.Arch Thesis | 2021 Advisor: Mónica Ponce de León This thesis looks at reorienting the city center around new forms of collective wastewater management in Mexico City. The thesis does this by exploring the intersectional relationships developed around the use of water in 4 distinct social models: multi-family housing, the mercado, education and conservation. The project highlights gaps in the production of wastewater in each of these models through the development of a reimagined central complex where no water is wasted. The thesis is sited on a 1,075,000 sq ft vacant lot parallel to the existing Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales (Wastewater Treatment Facility,) Cerro de la Estrella, located in the San Juan Xalpa neighborhood in Iztapalapa, CDMX. Within the project, the existing WWTF serves as a historic marker to less efficient modes of harvesting and treating wastewater.

The proposed complex is comprised of a fivestory vertical market, a gallery space dedicated to the history of water management in Mexico City, multi-family housing for market vendors, and a centralized basin carved into the earth, doubling as a public amenity space and a recharge zone for the region’s aquifer.

The project sutures the market, gallery, housing, and basin to one another via a network of potable, grey, and rainwater pipes. All roofs on site are adapted for optimal rain harvesting and collection.

Hydraulíca | Princeton University | 2021

[Left] Plan diagram of the complex’s interconnected rain and wastewater treatment network at ground level.

In each structure, rainwater is moved through a network of pipes to ground level structural columns for storage. Rainwater is treated via chlorination and fed back into clean water tanks where it is then redistributed in each structure for potable use. Grey water is harvested and sent to a series of external filtration planters that release treated water into the central complex basin to replenish the aquifer.

The market serves as the social and hydraulic hub of the complex. Residual water harvested from the market roof is fed into the network of pipes that then supply each of the 120 vendor homes with additional water allowing for complete independence from CDMX’s water infrastructure for the year. The project demonstrates alternative mechanisms to wastewater management with the aim of decentralizing hydraulic infrastructure in Mexico City. For residents, water independence means autonomy from a failing and irregular water network and an opportunity to reestablish a social collective around the capture, storage, and reuse of wastewater.

The current hydraulic infrastructure for Mexico City relies on inefficient and energy intensive modes of extracting and transporting potable water.

The city imports nearly 30% of its water from the Cutzamala-Lerma system, which pumps water from nearly 75 miles away and up an elevation of 3,600 feet to supply basin residents. While 70% of water is dredged from the basin’s local aquifers, it comes at a heavy cost. Over extraction has contributed substantially to rapid and unchecked urbanization, jeopardized critical aquifer recharge zones, and exacerbated soil subsidence that contributes to nearly 40% of water loss due to cracked pipes. The city extracts water from its aquifers at 297% over capacity and shows no sign of slowing down.

Syphoning the Basin: Urban Air Filtering in Los Angeles Boyle Heights, Los Angeles

Princeton University | Integrated Design Studio | Spring 2021 Instructor: Alejandro Zaera-Polo This studio is situated in the near future and explores opportunities that exist for architecture through its engagement with emerging technologies centered around the ongoing climate crisis: food security, deforestation, heat islands and so on. The studio asks that each student investigate one emerging technology in depth and develop a prototype around it. The final output was to develop a report on the investigation and the prototype.

While California is leading the charge in renewable energy, its geographic disposition and population make total sustainability unattainable. Los Angeles is uniquely situated in a wide basin that is continuously blasted by year-round sunshine. The steady baking of particulate matter from vehicular traffic and surrounding industries give birth to Los Angeles’ famous smog. Smog, or ground level Ozone, develops through thermal inversion which inhibits particulate matter from naturally dissipating over time.

[Left] Exterior view of prototype massing at Second Street, Elementary School [Right] Interior view at collector and chimney junction.

The project is situated over the play yard of Second Street Elementary School in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The prototype proposes a new infrastructural model that safeguards the most at-risk communities in the neighborhood: children, the elderly and so on. The prototype is placed at the school due to the steady stream of pollutants it receives from the 101 and 10 highways.

The prototype acts as a shed on site but can be readapted for horticultural and/or outdoor dining spaces.

The model is constructed in 3 segments: the wall, the collector, and the chimney. The collector is constructed out of a system of steel trusses arrayed around the central chimney opening, joined by a diagrid network, and clad with a single-sheet layer of ETFE. The chimney is constructed out of 15’(h) prefabricated steel frames clad in ETFE, stacked atop of one another and reinforced by steel cables.

The lower portion of the wall is constructed out of drywall infill between steel members, while the upper portion of the wall is capped by a ring of carbon and electrostatic filters.

The project readapts Jörg Schlaich’s Solar Chimney prototype constructed in Manzanares, Spain in 1982. This project utilizes the same solar updraft properties exhibited in Schlaich’s tower. However, rather than draw heated air in to generate electricity, the proposed towers are readapted to draw in polluted air through a wall of commercial filters that then exhaust clean air back into the surrounding region. In the distant future, these prototypes will be replicated throughout the city, filling gaps in polluted air and creating domes of fresh air. The prototype is designed to be customizable and adaptable to the various constraints of a given site and programmatic need.

Solar-Well MultiFamily Housing Mazzorbo Island, Venice, Italy

Princeton University | Integrated Design Studio | Fall 2019 Instructors: Paul Lewis and Guy Nordenson This studio is situated within the present-day crisis tied to the instability of the housing sector brought on by climate change and sea-level-rise. The project is located on a 58,000 sq ft vacant lot on the island of Mazzorbo. The studio asks students placed in groups of 2 to develop a new design approach to housing that is viable within the lagoon and invent new means of adapting buildings to sea-level-rise.

The project is an amphibious adaptation of 12 units (roughly 12,000 sq ft) situated along to West-East axis. The project consists of 2 housing bars (North and South) with 4 1-bedroom units, 2 3-bedroom units, and 6 2-bedroom units. Each bar is laid along an artificial canal carved out of the earth to provide a boat dock for each of the units. Soil extracted to make way for the canal is reused onsite to build up the ground and elevate the apartments for optimum lighting. The 1-bedroom apartments make up the southern bar, while the northern bar is comprised of the 2 and 3-bedroom units. Each housing module is separated by an entrance wedge providing occupants access to the housing unit and boat dock. At the heart of each module is a structural stair core from which stepped floor plates are tied back to. Each module is characterized by Solar-Well Multi-Family Housing | Princeton University | 2019

The Foreman and Clark building, built in 1928, is an approximately 130,500 sq ft adaptive reuse project, from a vacant commercial retail and former office building to an urban infill mixed-use retail and multi-family residential project in Downtown Los Angeles. The project contains first floor retail spaces, 125 residential units distributed throughout floors 2-17, two penthouses, and common amenity areas including a gym, yoga studio, and great room.

While I was instrumental in the development of the DD, CD sets, and permitting process, two of the major features I directed were the 5th floor “Great Room” and two-story penthouse addition on the 15th and 16th floors. The 5th floor common area is A 1,555 sq ft space programmed with a communal kitchenette, restroom, lounge area w/ electric fireplace and game room. I originated wall, floor, and millwork finishes, and detailed lighting concepts at the historic corridor.

The penthouse addition is a 1,650 sq ft space, with two stacking rectangular volumes fixed to the side of the existing façade. Both of the modules are truncated inward allowing for telescoping view of the surrounding city. I created critical design and material concepts for the addition’s façade, apertures, and interior spatial programming.

I facilitated in the interior design package for all suites and penthouses, the 3rd floor amenity spaces, typical corridors, and elevator cabs.

While I was instrumental in shaping designs throughout the project from suite door handles to partition millwork, two of the major features I customized were the 3rd floor undulating ceiling and fireplace. The ceiling is an undulation of 16 convex and concave curves constructed out of GFRC. The fireplace is designed to undulate along the restaurant ceiling is capped by a curbed plaster header, metal backing and white gravel surrounding the ventless fire feature.
