Ecole Speciale d’Architecture / Collaborative Work - Revit / Photoshop / Illustrator / Physical Modelling

This project was done during studio classes in Fall 2016 at Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in Paris. The project site was in the east of Paris near Bercy. There were no site constraints other than attempting to work with the existing structures on site. The site was built upon a platform that used to be utilized as a train station and was a buffer zone between various types of neighborhoods. The site included abandoned train tracks and warehouses. This project helped me understand the movement against architect as a god. A master plan for the development of the site was created as well as designing one step.

This project was a group project between me and another student where we both took part in all aspects of the project.

Affordable Housing

Parking Lot

Affordable housing was not an initial program of the site, yet it is crucial in order to meet the new housing needs that comes with gentrification. We wanted to use shipping containers to create economical housing and kept them adjacent to each other to eliminate issues such as plumbing and insulation. We also wrapped the building block with a mesh-like structure to solve wind noise issues and to create an air-tight space for even better insulation. The containers are thought of as building blocks and used to create lounges.
