REVIVED RESIDENCE Professor Fei Wang | Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale 2017 This project is situated in a series of five old industrial buildings, within the ancient city of Shenzhen, China. The existing structure is a three-story residential project with vertical circulation at both ends with exterior corridors running on the south facing facade. Throughout the process preservation of the preexisting structure became key, maintaining the current building by simply reorganizing and reprogramming the existing floors. The ground floor became a communal, public, and commercial space. The space consists of several public areas: a laundromat, a local market space, and a café space. This space will operate throughout the day connecting the market space with the fourth building in the series offering a similar open air communal space. The second and third existing floors become a daycare and a night school, as a way to integrate the context of the adjacent school. This will allow the building to be in constant use without wasting space. The addition consists of four floors of affordable residential space above the existing fabric to offset the elimination of housing that occurred during the restructuring of the existing and neighboring buildings. The intention is to bring both individuals and families together in one area to create a social living aspect. Exterior corridors have been added for the residential floors to keep with the architectural identity of the prior project. This desgin will give back to the public with community spaces both indoors and outdoors, and create affordable housing for families and individuals in Shenzhen. in collaboration with Joshua Siev

THE BLACK BOX Guest Georgina Huljich | P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S Fall '16
A “mute icon” in architecture is at the same time an object and a building. By limiting its appearance, the mute icon demands closer scrutiny, stimulating conversation. The word “black box” does not only come from theater/the arts, it also questions functional flexibility, atmospheric darkness and plain mystery. This project will formulate itself through the experiment of different theater typologies to generate a unique interior experience. The autonomy of the black box is stripped through the vertical/horizontal collisions that created by a collection of elements. These elements were derived by an artist analysis in which certain aspects were emphasized creating a series of shapes. The collection then began to inform the programmatic spaces creating formal incongruities. Both exterior and interior qualities create a performance of micro articulation, and the grain of the texture presents a muted experience that creates the overall fuzziness throughout, that of the black box. in collaboration with Debbie Vapheas
THE UNDECORATED SHED Professor Francisco Sanin | London UP
Shoreditch is an up and coming community where graffiti is more than just an art mural, it creates a relationship with the building that becomes its canvas. The building then becomes what Venturi and Scott-Brown call a decorated shed. The site is made up of various “Decorated Sheds” and has an over ground, which stands alone, making that, “The Duck”. 6ʼ ”

The “Undecorated Shed” will act as an outlier in the community, due to the clean and see through facade. This allows the process of art and art itself to be exhibited in the building, while being able to see out, there is also the possibility to see in. This way, the art that creates a relationship to the building and the people passing by, just like what graffiti is able to accomplish. This structure will also house studios and galleries allowing artists of any mediums to interact with each other without having to hide in their own shadows. 1ʼ ”

MIXED-USE DWELLINGS Professor Elizabeth Kamell
Roosevelt Island is situated in the East River between Queens and Manhattan. With its ideal location between two important boroughs population in the last decade it has risen creating housing complications. This project aims to improve housing shortages in the City as well as create a social atmosphere for the dwellers of Roosevelt Island. Micro-Units are the solution for the problem allowing more dwellers per square feet maximizing space. Creating an identity within the urban fabric became of importance as well as creating a connection with the rest of the community. This mixed-use project wraps itself around the local field creating walkways and seating with views to the field, river, and Manhattan. Maximum interaction within the dwellers occurs within the social spaces while the micro-units are mirrored and repeated through the residential floors above. While families and larger apartment get scattered within.

ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPE Professor Jonathan Louie
Topography impacts design on a regular basis. Whether it’s carving into the landscape or simply building within, alterations are constantly being made where the building becomes part of the landscape. The southern tip of Roosevelt Island has a great opportunity for structure and landscape collaboration. With the river being a huge mode of transportation from borough to borough, a ferry terminal suits that gap. A street like path running North to South will act as a connector with access to the dock, ticket shop, and retail shops. A roof like structure is added with punctured spaces allowing the space to interact with the sky and the ground. It will also include shading mechanisms for daylight control. All these elements together will act as an artificial landscape allowing the user to interact with the spaces and provide its programmatic capabilities.

DETROIT CITY: SLOWROLL Professor Sekou Cooke

This project introduces several architectural concepts for example primary urban narratives, diagram to building relationships, and complex programming. The use of a single predetermined client/user is also important as he/she will Temporary Density per Day have a relationship with the product and influence the design. Slowroll Bikers

Bike Services
This new facility will serve as the home for Detroit Bike City. It will serve as their primary base of operations and the start and end point for all future Slow Rolls. Slow Roll is a weekly bike ride that was started in Detroit, Michigan by community organizers and co-founders of Detroit Bike City. The city of Detroit, which has seen its population reduce from two million to| Oslo fewer than 800,000 in the last 60 years, has Eco Cube become the poster child for “shrinking cities”. The goal is not to reexamine any of the myriad city-scaled projects for urban revitalization. Instead to seek focus on a specific story within the city and speculate on its potential large-scale impact.

AN URBAN PROJECT Professor Timothy Stenson
Context
The goal was to develop simultaneous understandings of context and architectonic forms, and their interrelation through design. Sited in New York City, this project bridges from urban ecology engagement and context formation, to programmatic accommodation and spatial-tectonic formation. Looking at the physical characteristics of the site as well as latent ecologies that exist in, around, and through your site help build up the overall design. This project accommodates both public and semi-private, with options tailored to the distinct character of the neighborhoods. They will accommodate 6 housing units and a neighborhood/ associated public and event space. The public space serves as a new DIA gallery that will be accessible to the public.

REPRESENTATION This wide array of different representational drawings display a series of different drafting techniques developed. Figure ground, perspectives, plans and sections are all examples of drafting techniques showed below. An Architect has to know the skill of hand drafting in order to have a direct connection to their work. With the modernization of our times computers have grown and hand drafting is being lost.
COMBE CAFETERIA Professional Work | COMBE Inc.
Exploring several career paths during summer internships allows one to get different insights into the real world. One of the opportunities received was to redesign the cafeteria of Combe Inc. Working hand in hand with a client, in this case the CEO of the company, a mood board was created and renders followed with an aesthetic vision for the CEO. After several meetings the design was approved and was implemented in the Fall. A before and after picture shows how the cafeteria was modernized with a clean and updated aesthetic, improving the employee experience.
