FOOD AND MOTION
Spring 2021 - Individual Project
With an aim of designing an authentic Vietnamese food experience situated in the heart of Syracuse, New York. “Food and Motion” is inspired by the bustling streets of Hanoi. Merging the lively encounters of streetfood vendors with the gentle approach of Vietnamese tea culture to provide a culinary experience that mimics all aspects of Vietnamese Streetfood while still paying tribute to the history of the Historic Smith Restaurant Supply Building along the Erie Canal.
The project relates strongly to its surrounding context as the movement of the Erie Canal is used as a design concept for a Vietnamese Streetfood restaurant. A gentle balance between new and old is explored within this project as historical context and significance of the Smith Restaurant Supply Building affected the project visually and also conceptually.

Historical Significance and Concept Development
Designing a quick paced “take out” experience of Vietnamese street food mimics the historical relationship of the Smith Restaurant Supply Building with the Erie Canal.
The motion of boats stopping, loading and continuing on with their journey directly relates to the similar experience of Vietnamese Streetfood. Stopping, picking up food and eating it along the way.
A constant celebration of movement and speed. The concept does not take away from the energy that the site already experiences through traffic and noise but instead is built around this quality.

RECYCLING LANE
With the overall aim of encouraging clean parks and neighbourhood engagement through communal recycling, “Recycling Lane” targets the issues of Allen Gardens which include irresponsible littering and lack of a community environment.
The project was developed in stages with creative mapping and interviews with locals to understand the city conditions of Brick Lane and its potential threat of gentrification. The proposal includes a park recycling installation that stimulates community involvement, responsibility and immersion while honouring the needs of locals and Brick Lane visitors.

NEXT OFFICE
Fall 2021 - Individual Project
A commercial office design strongly inspired by its proximity to Columbus Circle in NYC. For NYC, Columbus Circle is more than just a traffic circle, it is a physical point of connection that joins NYC’s culturally diverse neighborhoods and boroughs. A circular hub that is busy and active spreading from large avenues to unknown alleyways, an important connecting point for locals and tourists.
This valuable landmark is used as an inspirational vessel to design the 7th and 8th floor office environment for a fictional cosmetics company named “NEXT”. An office space located at this point of connection is a large asset with regards to the value NEXT places on their beliefs. Prioritizing accessibility, transparency and clean beauty, their company values follow the movement of NYC’s streets, starting at Columbus Circle and spreading beyond to push for change.

Flexibility and a range in working environments are prioritized. Specific furniture has been chosen and a flexible open office layout to be provide a variety of different working environments for maximum efficiency.

Project Type - Material and Spatial Study Size - 1 200 sq. feet
Fall 2020 - Individual Project
A captivating spatial intervention has been designed by solely using an innovative material named ORGANOID Technologies. The material is produced by processing organic and natural components to develop multiple applications and textural values. After a deep analysis and deconstruction of the chosen material was performed, 5 distinct and unique characteristics/qualities of the material were chosen to explore and depict within the spatial environment.
The design project explores the true manipulation of ORGANOID Technologies and its ability in shaping and forming a built environment. Attention is placed on human scale in relation to the space and the material. While also exploring conceptual three dimensional forms.

To analyze the material in detail, specific stages were followed moving from two dimensional studies to three dimensional. This helped to identify how each identified characteristic related to function, material/ texture as well as light and mood.
