YEOUIDO CAPSULE MASS HOUSING
100 YEARS IN THE FUTURE CONJUNCTION WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Inspired by the Garden City, we envision future collective housing in the future to be a decentralized but closely interrelated network of cities. A network of satellite communities separated with green belts that radiate out from the central city.
Alongside this future, to accommodate this lifestyle, we envision a transportation system that moves around pods of living space where you can do productive things or sleep in transit without the chore of driving as you could set a destination and not worry about it.
Our central city, the hive of pods, is an arrangement of space on an infrastructural landscape. Hive of individual pods which are slotted into a tower of artificial landscape. As it is a garden city, it allows us to counteract high-density housing by adding natural space.
“The city is a living thing, and we have to be part of it.”
-Le Corbusier

POLYHEDRA RESIDENTAL APARTMENT
ON TOP OF ROOSEVELT HOTEL IN SHAPE OF SLANT AND SLOPE
As part of the ACSA 2024 Timber in the City competition, we were lead to create a residential timber structure on top of the Roosevelt hotel in Manhattan NY. The process started with massing and programming using variations of self-filling polyhedra structures.
While exploring various shapes and structures, we settled on using a trapezo rhombic dodecahedron structure framed with Glulam beams and CLT panels.
Design wise, the architecture consists of three apartments connected in the ground floor surrounded by a veil. The apartments themselves are stacked structures of the polyhedra arranged in a sloped position. These elements combine to allow the users to experience the uniques spaces created by the nature of the structure.

BOUNDED PRESSURE AN INVESTIGATION INTO
SOFTNESS, STRUCUTRE AND THE SPATIAL DYNAMICS OF MATERIAL TENSION
This thesis explores the spatial relationship between softness and structure, using pressure as a generative force. At its core is a contrast between an inflatable, amorphous body and the rigid frame that contains it. I’m interested in how material tension—where soft meets hard—can produce expressive form and challenge static notions of control and boundary.
Furniture, specifically a chair, serves as the medium for this investigation. A custommade neoprene rubber balloon is inflated within a wooden frame, producing visible bulges and points of resistance. Through this setup, I observe how form is shaped by pressure and material behavior, documented through photography and performative studies of human interaction.
This project asks how architectural form can emerge through negotiation rather than prescription. By framing softness as an active force, I aim to rethink the role of structure, suggesting that pressure, deformation, and resistance are not failures, but fundamental components of spatial expression and embodied experience.

GATEWAY CENTER BUILDING SYSTEMS
ANALYSIS AND DOCUMENTATION FROM INTENTIONS TO FORMAL STRATEGIES
In the Advanced Building Systems class, we participated in a semester long project to analyze, illustrate, and document the buildings systems of selected buildings.
We chose to analyze the formal strategies, the structural system, the exterior envelope system, and the mechanical / electric / plumbing systems of the ESF Gateway Center in the main campus of Syracuse University.
The ESF Gateway Center is a testament to sustainable architecture. Serving as a hub for innovation, it integrates advanced green technologies and design principles. The facility emphasizes ecological responsibility while providing a space for collaboration and learning. Its design reflects a blend of environmental stewardship with contemporary aesthetics and functionality.

Triple glazed windows increases comfort by maintaining the low-temperature di erence between the walls and window glass interior surface, reducing outside noise, and blocking up to 95% of ultraviolet rays.
INSULATED SPANDREL
PANEL FLUSH WITH EXT. FACE OF MULLIONS
Spandrel panels are are commonly used to infill areas of glazing curtain walls or storefronts. ey take the place of thick glass units, covering spaces between windows or doors, concealing unsightly structural elements and building systems.

We wish to conserve Billingsgate as a place where memory is captured in both objects and experiences. In this proposal, Billingsgate is reintroduced in the 21st century as a market plaza that depends on the memory of Billingsgate.
What we propose interrogates what we know today to be ‘Old Billingsgate’. In our proposal The building has been destroyed and the ground has been returned to the stone surface that facilitated commerce and cultural exchange in the past. We tasked ourselves with making a memory

PENNSVILLE MEDICAL CENTER
STRATEGICALLY LOCATED BY SYSTEMICAL MAPPING OF DEMAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The Pennsville Center is a medical center research project that considers incoming traffic into New Jersey in Post-Roe America. The center is strategically located by the bridge on the lowest part of the river near public transportation options. The site is placed hidden within the woods for natural barrier and views. The building itself is layed out to protect the surgical core and the recovery rooms from outside invaders.
In order to provide maximum comfort the building has been designed for daylighting while the recovery rooms are placed at the most ideal spot. Outside of the building, there are pavilions and walk paths to interact with the surrounding environment. Pennsville Center is a single location among a system of clinics strategically placed locations along the NJ border.
