THE MAKING-NEIGHBORHOOD

SPRING 2022 STUDIO AXEL MORENO INSTRUCTOR: CAMILLE SHERROD

In recent years, West New York has suffered greatly from an increasing homeless population, especially homeless veterans, who seek nothing but comfort and healing. Through Paper Arts, which includes photography, writing, drawing, and painting, our industry aims to create spaces where the homeless, as well as others, can create visual art to promote and heal from their emotional experiences.

Much of the population finds themselves not being able to pay these high rents and end up homeless, just like the 12% of West New York’s population. Through different precedent research, Prototypical architecture through modular design helps combat large homeless populations at a time, which would help not only in West New York but also help the rest of the world.

CONCEPTUAL MODELS

Many metropolises, like New York City and Los Angeles, struggle with land scarcity and record high rent prices. Much of the population find themselves not being able to pay these high rents and end up homeless, just like the 12% of West New York’s population. Through different precedent research we saw that Prototypical architecture through modular design helps

combat large homeless populations at a time, which would help not only West New York but also help the rest of the world. With structures that can easily adapt to any sized locations, we can design different iterations that would work in congested areas like Manhattan or in more open spaces like upstate New York.

LIGHT-MANUFACTURING

FALL 2022 STUDIO INSTRUCTOR: LAURA DEL PINO

Pertaining to Newark’s heavily industrialized areas, it comes into sense how chaotic and poorly designed these sites begin to be, while also disintegrating from these residential and city-like grid-lines. Bringing new order to these chaotic sites will create a greater interconnection between the residential and the industrial, sewing them together through a new set of site lines and grid-lines derived from the city’s main streets and avenues. Based on these new orders and new moments, the site breaks at these intersections,

Creating passageways and buildings responding to these ideals. Using the multitude of shipping containers found on this semiabandoned site, they are placed in a manner where they are looking for views, which then are rotated, cut, and broken apart according to these new site lines and order that has been set in place. These spaces will encompass the housing and mini-workshops for the live-work residents, which will mainly focus on metal manufacturing for sculptures and goods they decide to propose.

AFFORDABLE PUBLIC HOUSING PROPOSAL

FALL 2021 STUDIO JADA BAUTISTA INSTRUCTOR: STEPHANIE SANG DELGADO

With the influx of population within Newark in recent years, affordabilty and customization become a big factor. Creating a structure that is modular as well as multi-generational, would ultimately help as well as flourish the surrounding community. Oftentimes multi-generational housing does not just appeal to a single family. When we hear that word we think of how a structure could be passed down from generation to generation as an inheritance, instead, we suggest that multi-generational housing should be easily

adaptable at any point. My partner and I want to promote community thinking and how to design for a community to stay and grow in this housing. How will we make sure our structure still stands years from now? And how will we make sure it is properly maintained? Through education and a catalog of customization for future adaptations that will emerge from the ever changing masses. This housing project takes into consideration the future, not just the present.

SHIFT AND REMOVE MODULES REFINED

As an organization method, we began with a grid. Through a set of different grid studies, seen above we decided to use two grids, overlayed perpendicular from eachother. Through that grid we organized the modules and spaced them out accordingly, in order to give enough space for the hallways as well as the outdoor areas. These modules are envisioned to be prefabricated, which ease the idea of production as well as to reduce any costs. This project will also encase this idea of movable walls with the structure

which can ultimately connect modules together to make a bigger apartment or to split off areas within your own module to the user’s needs. With the makers space on the lower level, the users would be able to learn as well as make their own movable walls learning how to maintain them and build their own. The communal kitchen and grocer y store are community run providing them a space to sell as well as make their own goods, and ultimately giving back to the community.

MOBIUS CLIMBER

The Mobius Climber is a set of different Mobius strips that are offset and rotated amongst each other in order to create a public vs. private setting. By doing this the curves of the Mobius strips will create spaces where one can feel more private rather than in other spaces outside the curves, where one can feel at a more public setting. There are many different ways to interact with the Mobius Climber by either climbing the structure and exploring its different spaces or by interacting with the structure while on the floor level. The intented purpose for this structure is to have people interact with the strips in many different ways by experiencing its public and private areas. By being covered and or hugged by a wall one can feel at a more private setting rather than being on the outside and or on top of a Mobius strip, where one can feel at a more public setting.

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE COLLAGE

This collage encompasses the differences between public spaces and private spaces, and what is really considered a private space. Starting from within the hospital, it starts with a waiting room which can be seen as a more public area, while the people in their respective rooms is seen as a more private space. The hospital also has an outdoor area where patients can go outside and meet with their loved ones, which can be as a mixture of public and private. Outside the hospital is a park where people can enjoy their time reading books or just go outside and walk their dogs, which can be seen as a more public area. The intent of this collage is to explore the different ideals that make up a public and private area and how some of those spaces can have a mixture of both.

PANDORA JEWELRY

At Pandora Jewelr y, as an interior design assistant, I work with teams that focus on displaying the different jewelry. From designing store floor plans to rendering different storefronts, I work on mainly user experience projects. Below sits a set of conceptual drawings for renderings I did for one of our summer installations, and to the right are rendered images we design that guides stores on how to display their Pandora Jewelry, depending on the season.

DESIGN FARM GROUP

During my internship at Design Farm Group, I was able to put together several design proposals on my own, with the supervision of Meeka Van Der Wal. I was involved from the conception of many projects to designing several iterations for the homeowner. I was also responsible for hand sketches and renderings for multiple project.

MORPHOSIS ARCHITECTS

At Morphosis Architects, I focus on the diagrammatic process of many projects primarily for the firm’s website. For the Cooper Union, I focused on multiple axonometrics displaying the different sustainable strategies as well as the vertical circulation of the building.
