2024

The Walking City One of my earliest memories that profoundly shaped my architectural thinking was encountering the work of Archigram. Their innovative use of comic-book-style graphics, particularly Ron Herron's iconic "Walking City," captivated me. The image of a city on the move, perched on colossal, adaptable stilts, resonated with me in ways I couldn't fully articulate then. Initially, the audacity of the sci-fi concept—a city not anchored to the earth but capable of moving across it—sparked my imagination. This vision of architecture, agile enough to transcend the conventional boundaries of place and time, introduced me to systems that thrive on change and can dynamically engage with their natural and social environments.

Though those early notions have since evolved in my thinking, the core themes of mobility, flexibility, and adaptability have remained constant in my pursuit of an architectural approach that provides a foundation for the communities I serve to live their most rewarding and vibrant lives.

These ideas have guided me toward developing a cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural practice that remains agile in identifying and addressing challenges by seeking solutions from the context in which they exist, rather than imposing external frameworks.

The Walking City unrooted in any specific location, could evade the limitations of geography, politics, and even climate—concepts that remain profoundly relevant today as we confront the realities of climate change and rising sea levels.

Museums have evolved significantly from mere archives of rare artifacts to dynamic spaces for communication and interaction. Traditionally, museums were repositories of unique and valuable objects, primarily focused on preservation and showcasing rarity. However, they play a more active role in fostering dialogue, education, and community engagement today. Modern museums aim to connect people with culture, history, and each other by using their collections to provoke thought, encourage discourse, and explore contemporary issues. This shift reflects a broader trend where museums are seen not just as custodians of the past but as active participants in cultural exchange and social development.

The Instant City The "Instant City" challenges the traditional process of city evolution, where urban environments grow over centuries, shaped by culture, economy, and society. In places like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, where I've contributed to city-scale masterplans, the goal is to create fully functioning cities almost overnight, responding to rapid urbanization and global demands. However, the idea that vibrant, sustainable urban environments can emerge so quickly raises important questions. While physical infrastructure can be built swiftly, developing the social fabric that gives cities their identity takes generations. Social infrastructure, in particular, presents a complex challenge. Whether these instant cities can achieve the same vibrancy as organically evolved cities remains uncertain.

Through a series of projects, I have been exploring ways to tap into regionalism that can fuel my private practice, deeply rooted in the history of the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts, where I now live and spend half my time working.

My work draws heavily from my background in contemporary architecture, primarily influenced by mid-century sensibilities. It also incorporates the industrial typology of the region’s mill buildings, factories, and barns. In conjunction with a focus on Shaker design and abstraction, this has provided a rich foundation for exploring what I refer to as a modern rural aesthetic. This approach allows me to merge the historical and industrial legacy of the area with modern design principles, creating spaces that are both functional and evocative of the region’s past.

All the buildings are rendered in a signature red, which serves as a departure point, drawing historical reference to the red barns typical of the region. This color choice also acts as a regional counterpoint to the prevalent use of Shou Sugi Ban, the Japanese technique of charring wood. The red is meant to represent a linseed oil coating, which is historically accurate and connected to traditional methods of rendering and protecting buildings. This blend of regional history and modern design techniques reflects a deeper exploration of cultural heritage and functional beauty.

The Agile City The "Agile City" represents a flexible, adaptive approach to urban development, responding to the dynamic needs of citizens, economies, and environments. Unlike traditional urban planning, which often relies on rigid, long-term masterplans, the Agile City emphasizes the capacity to evolve and respond quickly to change. By adopting agile principles in urban design, cities can become more resilient, inclusive, and responsive to emerging challenges. This agility is achieved through critical frameworks such as blended use, mobility solutions, and alternative delivery methods.

Blended Use focuses on creating vibrant spaces for civic and economic interaction. It aims to develop safe, responsive third spaces for exchanging ideas, emphasizing place over mere space. These spaces are designed horizontally at grade, extending below and above ground to create a deep, interconnected city section.

Mobility Solutions addresses the challenges of space and time in moving people and goods. These solutions consider the quantitative aspects of movement and its qualitative socio-economic impacts, particularly on underserved and transportation-insecure communities.

Alternative Delivery seeks to maximize positive project outcomes and deliver the most significant benefit to society. This approach involves using tools that adapt to rapidly changing contexts and leveraging value-creation methods that work across diverse socio-economic environments.

The Responsive City The "Responsive City" reflects the need for cities to adapt to environmental, economic, and social challenges. Infrastructure is critical to this resilience, supporting transportation, energy, and waste management. Architects and designers play a vital role in ensuring efficient, functional, and equitable infrastructure. Historically, marginalized communities have suffered the negative impacts of infrastructure while benefiting the least. A genuinely responsive city must address these imbalances by distributing benefits and burdens fairly. Resilience isn't just disaster mitigation—it's about building systems that enrich all citizens' lives, especially the vulnerable, through adaptable public spaces, renewable energy, and sustainable mobility.

Penn Station Public Realm

As a pedestrian-forward mobility district, the Penn Public Realm Plan is composed of pedestrian-priority streets. For the purposes of the Penn Public Realm Plan, these streets are categorized as pedestrian streets & plazas, limited access streets, and limited access streets with freight to designate where and what kind of vehicles are allowed.

These street types are supported through both physical design, such as surface materiality and vehicular restriction, and through policy, such as timed deliveries and freight access. The streets themselves can become destinations while adding more space for people walking and biking to and from Penn Station.

Midtown’s Open Space Network

Penn Station is the busiest transit hub in the Western Hemisphere, with hundreds of thousands of users per day. At the confluence of Amtrak, NJTransit, and LIRR trains; subways; buses; and bike and walking trips, Penn Station is a critical center of Midtown’s mobility network and Midtown’s neighborhoods. Everyone is a pedestrian at some point in their journey: the Penn Station area is primed to become a distinctive, unified pedestrian district, a neighborhood in its own right

Midtown’s open space network has a critical gap: Penn Station and its surrounding streets. Penn Station sits between—to the west— Manhattan West, the High Line, Hudson Yards, the Javits Convention Center, and—to the east—Herald and Greeley Squares and an increasingly pedestrianized Broadway.

This district of East Harlem has been a historic hub of transit from its early days when street cars ran through here along with the railroad. Today, many of those streetcar lines still exist in the form of bus routes. The site is also served by the 4,5,and 6 trains at Lexington Avenue, 2,and 3 trains at Malcolm X Boulevard, multiple bus services including the Select Bus Service and shuttle to LA Guardia, a CitiBike station, and other private shuttles. This wealth of transit options is going to be further enriched with the introduction of the Second Avenue Subway.

In the 1930’s the street level under the current viaduct used to be a vibrant and active public market. However, the urban fabric of this stretch of 125th Street and Park Avenue have changed quite a bit since then. Along

125th Street has a relatively mixed character with some retail, healthcare, social services and other programs. The district also currently has several underdeveloped parcels, which especially with the introduction of the new 2017 zoning may bring a lot of development to the area, some of which are already in the pipeline. The district holds the potential to be transformed into a vibrant Mobility District along with being a commercial corridor for economic development in the neighborhood.

The "Collaborative City" envisions a future where citizens are not just inhabitants of urban spaces but active participants in shaping and solving the city's challenges. As cities continue to grow and evolve, the complexity of urban issues—ranging from housing shortages to transportation inefficiencies, environmental degradation, and social inequality—demands innovative solutions. Experts and authorities have traditionally addressed these problems in top-down decision-making processes. However, in a collaborative city, citizens play a central role in addressing urban challenges, and architects and designers are tasked with developing processes that enhance citizen participation, increasing levels of agency, control, and power.
