building meant to house college students at CUNY.Throughout this project, we used the aesthetic as well as the programming of our building to pay homage to the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance.We incorporated more access to the existing subway train. Our ground floor also contains retail like a thrift store and food pantry and rentable office space. We also had multiple floor plan options for various student needs.We let the shape of our apartments influnece the shape of our builidng.

Temporary Homeless Shelter and Modular Shelter Pods, We were heavily influenced by Shiguru bans use of cardboard in his shelters to use recycled materials for our building. We wanted to domore then offer a temporary bed and decided to design supplementary shelter pods. We imagined that the collapsibility and materiality of these pods would allow them to be recreated and reformed around the city to other shelters as needed. These spaces would contain storage for basic hygiene and food supplies as well as host group seminars and counseling to guide people on how to obtain more permanent housing options. When the permanent shelter building is not in use it would double as a community center in the park.

We designed a wearable design piece to represent the current situation in Sudan as well as other parts of Africa who are experiencing this never ending cycle of oppression following colonization. The full body piece emulates how the whole body interacts with African music & how the fate of the few impact many. The restricting yet elegant use of gold and silver represents beauty yet also exploitation of people for precious minerals. The exterior cape’s dullness coupled with colorful interior symbolizes the hope of the people following the revolution in 2018.
