An extensive project done in collaboration with student peers from landscape architecture, and architectural engineering, the Hampden Oncology Center is a proposed extension to the existing Hampden Medical Center operated by Penn State Health.
Our team’s intent for the project is to design an oncology center that provides a welcoming atmosphere to patients and staff through the implementation of biophilia in the building, as well as creating connections to the existing hospital and surrounding community.
As part of this multi-disciplinary team, I coled the design of the oncology center and collaborated with my team members to integrate our various systems and features into a cohesive design.

Conceptually, the Hampden Ocology Center aims to reach out and connect to the existing medical center campus and surrounding community through physical and gestural means. This concept was achieved in collaboration with our landscape architects to create a seamless transition where biophilia is brought into the building while its intended connections are extended beyond through the site work.

Program Organization
Programmatically, the various medical wings of the Oncology Center are arranged around a central corridor. In the middle of this corridor is a central atrium which acts as a large waiting room as well as a means for vertical circulation.

Designed as a library on a pier to serve the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia, the Learner’s Wharf is designed to be as efficient as possible while also paying homage to its industrial past.
From performing embodied carbon analyses of materials to studies of passive design methods, the project aims to minimize the environmental impact of the building in its construction and daily operations. In addition to being environmentally sustainable, the Learner’s Wharf aims to serve the community through analysis of demographics and the surrounding urban fabric to see how best the library can serve the city.
As part of a two-person group, my main focus within the project concerned passive design analyses into solar heating and water management, as well as assessments into community impact. In addition, my responsibilities included model construction and renderings of the library and its site.

Implementation of solar chimneys to facilitate passive cooling while nodding to the sites past through industrial motifs
Extensive research was done to asses the background of the community and its nearby resources. This information helped us determine that the programming of the library should lean more towards community based uses such as meeting spaces and gallery spaces for local artists.

It is crucial for a high performing building to have an efficient water management system. The main water management strategies used in the building features stacked bathrooms to reduce plumbing runs in the building. Furthermore, a rainwater collection system is being implemented to recycle rain water for use in watering the building landscaping and for providing water for select plumbing fixtures.

Located within Penn State’s Arboretum, this music center serves the dual purpose of providing a larger space for students at the School of Music as well as a brand-new recital hall for the public.
The biggest challenge of the project was to create a building that contextually fits the open space of the Arboretum – which has evolved as a confusing hybrid of various master plans - while also incorporating an extensive list of programming on a limited plot of land.
To satisfy these needs, the Penn’s Woods Music Center comprises of a series of stacked masses which expand and contract to satisfy the variety of rooms big and small. Furthermore, the masses shift to create recesses and overhangs which allow for passive shading for the occupants inside while letting light reach everywhere outside.

The Music Center expands, contracts, and shifts its floors to meet most program requirements while complying with plot limits. The shifting masses is also a nod to the nearby Palmer Museum, establishing a consistency between arts-based buildings located in the Arboretum.
Occupancy Classification / Programs
Due to the stacked-box form, the floors of the Music Center cantilever over each other, providing passive shading to the occupants. Floors that do not have a cantilever over them have a screen of horizontal louvers instead.
Above the main lobby, there is a ventilation system as well as operable windows. These two features help create a stack effect, allowing passive cooling in the space.
The majority of the roof will be covered with small vegetation. The green roof acts as an insulator and water barrier for the roof and provides pleasing views for occupants looking out.
The building is connected to a closed loop geothermal system. The system aids in the heating and cooling by pumping water through the ground which is generally cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Good living can be defined as living in a space that is large enough to provide comfort and facilitate the desires and needs of its inhabitant.
In the context of this hypothetical client, who is a fitness instructor who likes to grow their own food and have large groups of friends over for meals, the need for space cannot be understated.
Featuring a flexible space with reconfigurable, custom furniture and components, the Flex-Home folds, slides, pulls down, and pulls out to accommodate the activities of the occupant while being contained within a rigid rectangular space.
Through its use of custom furniture, Flex-Home explores what is considered “comfortable space” and how such a space can be most efficiently used.

Inspired by the dimensioning of Japanese rooms based on the proportion of tatami mats, the spatial arrangements of the tiny home are broken down proportionally to prefabricated 2’x6’ floor panels. The placement of furniture and programs can take up from half a panel to 4 panels in a row.
