The aim of this project was to design an exhibition pavilion for a number of objects based on a theme. The theme for my section was mushrooms, and I decided to exhibit 3 species of Reindeer Lichen (C Rangiferina Lichen, C. Mtis Lichen and C Arbuscula Lichen) with a focus on the arctic region. Based on myresearch on reindeer lichen I had 3 main goals for the pavilion. First, I hoped my pavilion would highlight the effect of human activity on the arctic ecosystem and reindeer lichen through spatial juxtapositions. Secondly, I wanted my pavilion toprovide a conducive environment for the different lichen species to grow based on their individual environmental needs. Lastly, I aimed for my pavilion to feature dynamic spaces that create animmersive and symbolic experience for visitors.

This 2-part project looks at the movement of different bodies in space and the ethical implications of design decisions on accessibility for different groups of people. This made me realize the effect policy, society and the environment has on how designers create, define and manipulate space, which in turn affects the way different people occupy these spaces. I began questioning the way we define the ‘function’ or ‘malfunction’ of space and how interactions with said space makes people ‘fit in’ or become ‘misfits’. This project also developed my skills in digital fabrication , structural and spatial analysis, and methods of documentation and representation.

In this project, the task was to design a youth hostel on an existing site. The design of the hostel had to be made using unit aggregations. There were 3 units we had to create which were small (reception, bathrooms and bedrooms) , medium (library, kitchen and lounges) and large units (dining area, large communal space). The existence of a site also meant consideration for the wider context such as existing infrastructure, circulation, neighborhood culture, frontages etc had to be made.

This project is a design for a community gathering space within the Micron Technology proposed development site in Clay, NY. The aim of this project is to make a place for community gathering and a sanctuary in which community bonds are tightened through the use of nature, specifically water-based programming and landscaped gardens. The design acknowledges traditional architecture from the different tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy, as the site is situated on the native land of the Onondaga Nation. In addition, the blue aster flower, which is a native wildflower found on the site, is a prominent part of the landscape design, serving as the primary plant for the flower fields and insect sanctuaries. Lastly, educational and economic opportunities for the community are also considered in this design which features a flower shop, flower packaging plant, and a horticultural educational facility. With all these considerations, this design proposal promotes encounters with nature, plants, soil, and animals, considers the experience through all senses and expresses entanglements between nature, people, and the environment.

The goal of this project was to design a satellite for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute located in Los Angeles, California. The overall concept of this project was overlapping spaces and tectonics. These overlaps were derived from analyzing the University of Michigan Art Museum as well as one of Rei Kawakubo’s ‘18th century punk’ pieces from the 2017 MET exhibition ‘Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between’. The UM Art Museum featured interlocking structural members and spatial volumes, while Rei Kawakubo’s piece is characterized by the use of overlapping materials and patches. Thus, these different interpretations of ‘overlap’ informed the final design, with the UM Art Museum informing its tectonics with the use of overlapping steel members and Rei Kawakubo’s piece inspiring the formation of spatial volumes, manifesting in the overlaps that occur between medium and large spaces.
