The Audubon Terrace in New York City rises nearly 30 feet above street level. Over the years, this historic terrace has fallen into disrepair and is rarely occupied. The library’s site has the unique task of scaling a 30 foot elevation change while activating the dilapidated terrace. A grid of interlocking volumes determine the formal structure of the library. Interstitial spaces where boxes overlap form non-program areas such as fire stairs, elevators, and mechanical rooms. The masses step up in small increments, scaling the elevation change from the street level to terrace level. This incremental stepping allows for visual connections between rooms. These glimpses of various reading realms sparks curiosity and stimulates visitors to explore each area of the library. The roof becomes an extension of the terrace, serving as outdoor reading areas and gardens.

Miguel Aleman is located in Tamaulipas, Mexico - across the border from its sister town of Roma, TX. This Low-Rise, High-Density Housing is necessary to accommodate the influx of young workers who are migrating to the city of Miguel Aleman from rural areas in search of work. These housing units are arranged along a central axis and incorporate the indoors with the outdoors. Courtyards and light wells puncture each unit, enabling natural light and access to fresh air and greenery to permeate the interior space. 0

Laguna Gloria is an outdoor sculpture garden located within a portion of the Mayfield Nature Preserve in Austin, TX. The topography of Laguna Gloria imbues the site with various habitats and micro-climates that attract diverse types of migratory birds. Due to this phenomenon, Laguna Gloria has become a haven for bird watchers. A Birding Center at Laguna Gloria is proposed in order to educate the public about the birds that can be seen on this unique site.The Birding Center occupies the hill that connects Driscoll Villa - at the top of the hill - to the waterfront and nature paths below. The building dissolves into the hillside, becoming a series of cascading stairs that host platforms to display works from Laguna Gloria’s sculpture collection.The building’s monumental form serves to capture the dynamism of flight while providing panoraic vistas onto the waterfront where migratory birds can be observed.

Blackwell School
Border Patrol Housing is sited at the intersection of three distinct cultural landmarks. Marfa attracts an Arts Commnity that flocks to view Donald Judd’s Concrete and Aluminum Boxes at the Chinati Foundation. The road to Chinati begins at the Southwest corner of the Border Patrol Housing site. Meanwhile, Border Patrol Headquarters is located at the Southern edge of the site - imposing its goal of protecting the border and restricting access into the United States. To the Northeast of the site is the Blackwell School - a historically seregated, Mexianonly school. Border Patrol Housing has the unique opportunity to address these three distinct landmarks, bring together diverse groups of people and spark a conversation about race relations and power. A proposed public avenue will pass through the site, leading from the road to Chinati to the historic Blackwell School. A Cultral Center at the Northwestern edge of the site will serve as a destination for visitors coming to Marfa to see art. This center would teach about the history of MexicanArmerican artists. Duplex Housing for single Border Patrol agents is on the East plot of land with ground level at grade. Single Family Housing is dug into the ground of the East plot, offering a sense of stability for families. All of the housing is turned inward on itself, providing a sence of comunity and indicating that the housing is not open to the public.
Road to Chinati
Border Patrol Headquarters
A sculptural roof structure unites all of the buildings and provides both public and private areas shaded from the high-altitude exposure to the sun. The underside of the roof is angled to direct wind through the excavated landscape. The walkable roof meets the ground at The Blackwell School, inviting people to traverse atop the roof, offering views out to Marfa and to the desert landcape beyond. The roof rises from the lowest point at The Blackwell School to its apex at the Cultural Center. As people walk along the roof, they are granted views into the Border Patrol Community, inverting the role of Border Patrol agents and transforming them into the objects of speculation.

The site lies at the edge of the city of Paris, located at the corner of Parc de La Villette and intersected by the Peripherique. An existing warehouse called the Halle aux Cuirs serves as storage for the park and has an important history in the 19th district. A once heavy industrial area will be transformed into a hub of culture for the northwest suburbs, with Towerscape at the heart of this new and vibrant district. The existing warehouse will be transformed into a voluminous space filled with a variety of programs including a library, brewery and a maker-space. The existing undulating roof structure will become a green rooftop. Three residential towers will rise high above the site, becoming visible from across the district, with views to the park. The residential and mixed-use tower, constructed to fit within the structure of the existing building, will house a diverse population of students, families, artists and young professionals. Work spaces will be layered throughout the towers, along with open floors that house the tower’s amenities and create micro-communities within the tower.

The world’s population is growing at a rate that cannot be sustained by current food production methods. Growhouse seeks to introduce a sustainable mode of growing hydroponic, aquaponic and aeroponic plants within the city to mediate this problem. Farming can no longer sprawl horizontally, it must grow vertically. Growhouse would provide fresh produce to the growing Austin area through its open air market and by deliverning its locally grown produce to retailers around the city. Due to the plants’ specific light, temperature and air quaity needs, the growhouse would be shrouded in a layered glass skin system. A layer of glass panels with solar fritz can be slid to allow more or less light in, depending on the time of day and weather. Louvered wooden panels are incorporated on the South and West facades to further control direct sunlight. The layered system is offset from the structural barrier, allowing the stack effect to cool the building sustainably. The campus would become a communal grounds for Austinites to meet and connect. It will connect Lady Bird Lake to the downtown Austin area, becoming a hub for activity and passage. Here, city dwellers can learn about where their food comes from, buy sustainable local produce and meet their neighbors.

The Coastal Engine creates a systemic link between the rural communities and their coastal counterparts. Telchac Puerto and Telchac Pueblo serve as an example of this relationship. The coastal town benefits from tourism and a thriving fishing marina, while the rural town has rich land C o a s t a henequen l Plaza to use for Mfarming and a functioning arina Telchac hacienda just up the road. These towns can work together to meet the needs driven by tourism Coastal Plaza on the coast, and thereby reinvigorate the rural Telchac Puerto economy. Restaurants along the coast generate a need for fresh produce, which can be fulfilled by expanding agrarian practices in rural towns. By reintroducing Milpa farming, the Yucatán will be able to reduce its dependence on foreign imports while producing high yields and without contributing to the further depletion of jungle.
Telchac Puerto

A coastal market will serve as the driver of this town-to-town system. Mercado Maya will be located near Telchac Puerto’s coastal plaza, which is the town’s hub of activity. The plaza culminates at a fishing pier and is flanked by a historic customs building on one side, and restaurants along the other. Temporary vendors set up shaded carts to sell handmade crafts and Csnacks to beachgoers. ustoms Building The market will celebrate Maya culture, deriving Coastal Plaza its form from the traditional Maya house typology. r c a d o M a are y a indigenous Maya people, Many ruralM eresidents so the market’s revenue will effectively go back to the indigenous community, helping to uplift San Eduardo Hacienda them from extreme poverty - all while utilizing an ancient Maya farming technique.

The Yucatán is characterized by its rich Maya culture and idyllic coastal landscape. The Maya have occupied the Yucatán for thousands of years, and Maya culture still pervades its culture and architectural landscape. Despite the longevity of Maya culture in the Yucatán, today, indigenous Maya people face extreme poverty, low wages and cultural shaming associated with speaking the Maya language. The ancient Maya developed a sophisticated method for farming, known as Milpa farming, which works symbiotically with the environment to produce high yields without depleting the landscape. This technique grows corn, squash and beans in tandem so that each crop benefits another. Beans add nitrogen to the soil while the squash plants’ broad leaves shade the ground and preserve water. The corn crop plays an important role in the Yucatecan diet - comprising almost 80% of a Yucatecan’s food intake.

WVN seeks to weave the luxurious history of perfume into the modern age by transforming traditional materials and techniques into exciting new forms that encourage the consumer to interact with them in unconventional ways. Featuring an undulating sensorial hat structure made from light birch wood framing and caning, the WVN hat offers a sensorial experience to consumers. A velvet panel within the hat overhead is saturated with fragrance to enable the consumer to experience the long-term base notes of the scent on display within the carved space where the hat meets the wall. Where the hat meets the wall, the two systems interact to create product display and product storage integrated with the sensorial experience overhead.
