JOHN KIRYA URBAN DESIGN
Philosophy
An impersonal city makses for an annoymous people due to a lack of ownership within the communities I believe that design with a heightened level of community involvement within the built environment can create unique, interstitial spaces that reflect the character of the neighborhood.

Sleeping pod can work as an escape pod. It should be placed at the end of the habitats
Sleeping Pods
A look at the make-up of the structure from how thick the pod shell will be in comparison to the multi layered system that shields the entire space habitat.
The space habitat has become more cylindrical to prevent atmospheric pressure. This shape also makes it easier to clean habitat
A minimalistic look
Sleep Cycles

Is a small, non-profit, cultural arts and design organization dedicated to creating the conditions for talent to emerge in the District of Columbia. It is located underneath the iconic Dupont Circle.
The purpose of Dupont Underground is to advance the District of Columbia’s cultural community and attract residents of the District and visitors and tourists from the surrounding area.
Keeping in theme with the mission of the institution, I designed, managed and oversaw the build-out of a trolley Bar in preparation of the institutions second design competition “Architecture and the Question of Democracy”

Nestled between Dupont Train station (bellow) and Conneticut ave (in betweeen) this (sqft space) is only only accessible to the public in one area (highlighted in red).
Dupont Train Station
The bar was designed to be mobile; Having been designed on the tracks we wanted something that could highlight the beauty of the trolley station and offer an experience uncommon to DC. Every time you entered the space the instillation could be somewhere else.

It was important that we used material that could easily be assembled and taken apart. We wanted the structure to grow and change depending on the needs of the organization. Everything had to be drilled in and easy to carry.
We used polycarbonate sheets to help create some privacy between the clerk and the patron. It created a silhouette of the clerk as they moved and helped create some mystery. The sheets are thick enough to obstruct the interior of the structure while defusing the light coming out. This RED BAR creates some dynamism within the industrial space.
