HARAMBEE PARK CENTER


WALK-UP HOUSING PROTOTYPE






SPRING 2024
Structural Engineering Capstone | Spring 2024
Harambee Park Center is a proposal for a mixed-use structure in response to a need for additional social programs, community spaces, and affordable housing in the Mattapan area. Our team of five engineers established structural goals of reducing waste, cost, and construction time while maintaining our aesthetic goals of a dynamic façade, open courtyard, and ‘floating floor’ to visually separate the public amenities from the private residences.
Our team designed an innovative hybrid volumetric and panelized system to eliminate this and reduce material and cost. Every other unit is a traditional volumetric module, and between each volumetric module there are prefabricated exterior and interior wall panels, along with prefabricated floor panels at each level for ADA accessibility. This hybrid system reduces lumber usage by 18% and embodied carbon by 30%.

This project consisted of a 10,000 sf terminal expansion plan for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport. The design expands the security queue, simplifies wayfinding, adds a COVID testing area, service animal relief area, sensory room, and various other programs to the airport.

• The project will improve mobility using a simplified layout & intuitive wayfinding.
Adult Changing Table
COVID Screening Area
• Modernizing with strategic material application like tactile strips will assist passengers with disabilities.
• Expansion will promote equitable access with a SARA, sensory room, adult changing table at the accessible restroom & universal design strategies in furniture selection/placement.
• Relocating the exit lane will ease navigation inside & outside the terminal. “..
Movement encouraged towards dominant space
Ideal Application: Exit lane
Urban Institutions Studio | Spring 2024
This project adds additional housing and community spaces to the Fenway neighborhood with an array of 1-, 2-, and 3- bedroom apartments. A repeating prototype is aggregated on the site to create intriguing pathways and moments of quiet green space. A dynamic pinwheel form allows for the prototypes to intertwine and maximize space on the site. Board-formed concrete, bronze details, and light wood complement the intricacies of the complex dynamic form.

This project was the proposal for an exhibit at San Francisco’s Art Market to represent Butler Armsden Architects. The design challenged the dichotomy of art and architecture by questioning the conceptual status of the house via abstraction. The methodology connects two elementary elevations through subtraction to create space for individuals to explore. This process of layering chiffon fabric creates various levels of intimacy as the transparency through layers slowly dissipates. As a co-op, I worked with a team of five others to develop and present this exhibit design.

The Winchester Community Center is planned by a volunteer non-profit organization, Swim Winchester, with a vision to create a gathering space for all members of the community.
Feedback from local community members is reflected in the design with the incorporation of a competition pool, recreational pool, fitness rooms, multi-purpose event room, and outdoor patio.

This library is meant to embody the Boston Public Library slogan: “Free to All”. It is designed to connect the Chinatown and Leather District of Downtown Boston in a way that welcomes all residents to enter. I developed the form through analyzing program adjacencies and site circulation, eventually settling on creating four main volumes corresponding to main library functions: public amenities, library collections, reading rooms, and back of house.

The central cores in the two main buildings shape the layout, where the void, atrium garden core in one building contrasts the solid, utility core in the other. A community garden atop the entry overlooks the weekly farmers market currently on the site. The first floor displays storefront windows to welcome the community members into the space while the strategic corner windows on the second and third floor illuminate the reading areas.
Site, Space, and Program Studio | Fall 2021
This project is a sculpture study of how a ceiling system can define a space. It was inspired by the Cleo Rogers Memorial Library by I.M. Pei. The library has a coffered concrete ceiling system with inset lights to define the space. This model is an abstraction of how a strictly defined ceiling system can still become flexible in the third-dimension to shape the space below it.
Personal Project | Spring 2021
This jewelry box was a present for a friend inspired by Greg Klassen’s river table design. The original design was made in AutoCAD, then laser cut on balsa wood and acrylic. I made a concentrated instant coffee stain to paint the wood a darker, marbled brown color and I added a sheet of blue film under the acrylic to create the river.
