The curved walls emulate the organic qualities of the inner ear and add an interactive aspect to the space.

Bottega Tessile
Italian Artisanship Center for Young Adults with Neurodiversity
Tasked with designing an artisanal craft and design center for people on the autism spectrum in Testaccio, Rome. The site is an ex-slaughterhouse - Ex-Mattatoio - that was heavily used during the Roman times and is now a historic part of the city. The goal of this project is to create a communal space where the attendees are free to explore and foster their passion for design. The space strives to teach its users the skills of problem solving and thinking out topics through artisanship. This includes creating designs and doing minor repairs to furniture and clothing. The space itself will draw from traditional materials used around the city and will reflect the history of its location by showing all of the original structure.
Softwares used: Revit, Enscape, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
KEY WORDS:
PASSION
The defining word of the space, the users are free to express themselves through their creativity in a welcoming and supportive environment
COMMUNITY
There will be an emphasis on socialization with the types of works they produce and an exposition space to put their works on display
The materials used in the space will be a more modern interpretation of its surroundings so its users do not not feel alienated TRADITION

Clean Air Task Force
LEED/WELL Initiative Focused Office
The task was to design a sustainable office for the Clean Air Task Force, a U.S.-based organization founded in 1996.
Dedicated to reducing air pollution and mitigating climate change, the organization focuses on research, advocacy, and policy development related to clean energy and air quality. To reflect its mission, the office design concept is inspired by biomimicry, specifically the use of extremophiles in bioremediation to filter pollutants from the environment. This research informs the design through the principles of screening and filtration.
