01 UNBOXING NYC. An analysis of New York City’s Building Code in the Midtown District Design Studio IX (Part 1) Advisors: Eran Chen and Kyriakos Kyriakou (ODA New York) Fall 2017, 8 Weeks
THE PROBLEM: New York City is undergoing a development revolution. The concept of “Air Rights” or Unused Development Rights have given way to a new typology - The Needle Tower. THE ANALYSIS: The project analyzes one block between 5th and 6th Ave and 43rd and 44th street. The goal was to analyze an alternate way for developers to utilize air rights and max out the potential
FAR of a site while not neglecting the quality of life for its residents. THE FIX: The project culminates in this theoretical but plausible approach to development by utilizing the air rights of a given block to bridge over existing, low rise buildings, thus connecting the block while creating a micro community for the residents that inhabit both the block itself but also the Midtown District.

MICRO-BLOCK: When multiple lots on one block are taken into consideration, the interconnected buildings propose many possibilities. The spaces created are incredibly unique and serve as spaces for a variety of new ideas within the city block. The image above details a drone landing pad and theatre in the spaces formed in the voids.
ADAPTABILITY: The concept is not limited to one block within the Midtown limits. If adapted properly, these interconnected blocks could in turn span the public air space over the streets to connect within one another, integrating the blocks with one another and creating a zone of endless possibilities for both residents and tourists alike. The project depicts the possibilities for future development in the area that strives to create a new typology that is staunchly opposes the concept of a needle tower.

AIR SPACE: New York City’s zoning code currently discusses the concept of air rights but does not mention the idea of “air space.” This project took both into consideration, analyzing what could happen if a series of lots on one block max out their FAR through air rights acquisition but then attempt to “bridge” existing low rise building’s air space to connect with one another.
THE NUMBERS: The project adoped a sense of reality when the numbers were taken into consideration. By researching the zoning code of each lot, a standard FAR was established to understand the size of building that could be built on each lot. By comparing those numbers with the square foots of the buildings currently on the site, a surplus of extra square footage resulted. By taking that extra square footage or unused development rights, as seen in the image to the left, it was possible to create enough growth to justify demolishing the current lowrise buildings on the site and rebuild them to their new maximum potential. By adopting the new approach of physically bridging the untouched lots and buildings, the new typology
became more defined. The project represents a viable option going forward in regards to the use of air rights and air space in a forever growing New York City.

MILLER MACHINERY CO. A culinary and art institution formed in the framework of an abandoned machinery warehouse Design Studio V (Comprhensive Studio) Designed in Part with: Marissa Gudiel Advisor: Edgar Sarli Spring 2016, 12 Weeks Software: Revit, AutoCAD, Illustrator
THE BREIF: Situated in the heart of Miami’s newly developed art district, Wynwood, this project aimed to revitilize a once flourishing warehouse district in Miami. Wynwood has since become the center for art and design in the Miami area and it was decided that the project would aide in that process by creating a culinary and art institution for community members to learn from. Designed during the comprehensive studio portion of the academic curriculum, this project was built out entirely to design based construction documents. The end result was a series of documents from schematic design
THE IDEA: The low rise building on the left of the site depicts the current warehouse condition with a renovated facade and interior. As the Miami’s zoming code has grown over time, so did the possibility to utilize more space on the site to design a new, five story structure on the right of the site. The two buildings blend together to create a harmonious condition. The open plan on the ground floor creates a public plaza that invites guests in from the street. The open terraces that scale the front of the building face south to provide space for students to relax during the day and to allow light to penetrate the building.

03 ROSSI’S ZIFF
Rossi’s plan lived on, specifically through the 92’ Ziff Tower.
ROSSI: An Italian architect and designer who achieved international recognition in theory, drawing, architecture and product design.
Aldo Rossi’s 1986 Ziff Tower for the campus redesign of the University of Miami School of Architecture
DOCUMENTED: There was an aopportunity in the class to select an unbuilt work from the 20th century and create a full set of construction documents from researched plans - the Ziff Tower was deemed ideal.
MIAMI: In 1985, Rossi was hired by the newly founded University of Miami School of Architecture to design the campus masterplan. The pinnacle of the master plan was the Ziff Tower that sat at the very end of a perspectival view down to the lake at the northwest end of the campus. Originally intended to sit within the lake itself, the tower and the masterplan itself never came to fruition but the legacy of

ZIFF: Named after the Ziff family, the Ziff Tower provides a beacon or central reference point for the University of Miami School of Architecture’s would be Rossi master plan. It’s urban and architectural form creates a gateway to the school, connecting the lake through a terminating vista. With influences from Venice among other ubran tower forms, the tower brings both functional and aesthetic variety to the School of Architecture.
INTERIORS: Seperated into five distinct spacial areas, the tower features “The Cortile,” “The Cube,” “The Sphere,” “The Cone,” and “The Belvedere.” Each provides a different function and contextual make up throughout the 10 floors of the structure. Rossi envisioned each spatial zone as another realm for exploration in both form and materiality. The tower has sinced been revived and attempts have been made by faculty to secure funds to see the tower’s development.

04 MERG+ED. An answer to a growing Toronto population and technology industry. ULI HInes Competition Team: Irene Cecilia, Marissa Gudiel, Cynthia Pacheco and David Mahoney Advisors: Joanna Lombard and Veruska Vasconez Spring 2018, 2 Weeks Software: Rhino, AutoCAD, Photoshop and Illustrator
THE PROBLEM: MERG+ED is a cultural hubwhich integrates current urban proposals meant to revitalize the existing conditions within the Don Lands neighborhood. The scheme creates a framework to produce a technological incubator within the city. This epicenter adapts to current developments to successfully merge with its surroundings and celebrates Toronto’s rich multicultural diversity by creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds to settle in an inclusive environment. This hub becomes an urban platform that, with time, will disperse into the inland sector of the city, further connecting the outskirts to the core of Toronto.
INTEGRATION AND INNOVATION: By considering the city’s diverse demographics and by harmonizing the emerging technological industry with the high-end sector, MERG+ED would become an organic moment of integrationand innovation. This center would merge grade level and higher-level education in a training format in an attempt to provide a learn-livework scenario. Bottom: Site Master Plan (AutoCad and Photoshop, produced in conjunction with Irine Cecilia) Right: Perspective Renders (Rhino and Photoshop produced in conjunction with Cynthia Pacheco)
FINANCIALS: MERG+ED is focused on establishing itself at the heart of Toronto’s technology core. With nearly 45,000m2of office and co-work space MERG+ED exists at the crossroads of tech startups and established tech companies with a number of collaborative spaces including an education center. The project will also include 759 housing units (10% affordable), a 225 key hotel. and an advanced robotic parking system. Much of the equity invested in the project comes in the form of an investment from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev). evelopment Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev).

05 NET. ZERO. SEATTLE.
A multifunctional, energy efficient, mixed-use building perForm Design Competition Team: Salma Alessa & Cynthia Pacheco Advisor: Germane Barnes Summer 2016, 3 Weeks Software: Revit, AutoCAD, Photoshop
NZ3: A multifunctional, energy efficient, mixed use building that promotes community and civic engagement through its design and implementation. The building proposes a comprehensive design that capitalizes on the existing assets of the site and its adjacencies. Design: The design consists of three building cores linked by ground level public spaces, orientated to allow for maximum sunlight penetration. Building corridors allow for passive ventilation to cool the structures without the reliance on heavy mechanical systems. The building masses were also designed as a response to the site context to allow for a location where the community can come to congregate. Located across from the site is Rainier Beach High School with the aforementioned school’s athletic fields directly to the east. Top: Perspective Render from Football Field (Revit and Photoshop) Elevations from Top Down: North, East, South, West (Revit and Photoshop)
INTERACTION: The ground level is reserved for retail and public space. The original buildings on the site needed to be demolished to accommodate the new housing complex, therefore new retail spaces were created in-kind. The central courtyard provides a common public space that both the publuc and private can enjoy. The stairs on the east side of the site allow for people to sit and relax or enjoy football games, move nights or other local events. SUSTAINABLE COMPONENTS: The building is sourced, sustainable and energy efficient materials. To
conserve materials and to improve air quality within the building, the complex does not reach the maximum allowed height and instead focuses on pproviding a comfortable and efficient space for the commercial and residential living spaces. The facades of the building have movable louvres that double as photovoltaic panels and shade devices to limit the amount of heat that the building is exposed to. Regardless of orientation, the photovoltaic panels both on the roof and over the windows are always exposed to sunlight. Double glazed windows reduce heat gain in the building. Pre-fab, cross-laminated timber provides minimal site waste and easy constructability. Gravity fed
cisterns combined with solar water heaters creates an integrated grey water system that provides an energy efficient means of living for residents. The building was deemed to be NetZero through Revit’s building analysis software that took into account the material and active and passive technologies in the building.

A completely integrated, lightweight, aluminum frame market kiosk. Design Studio V Pre-Design Project Designed in Part with: Marissa Gudiel Advisor: Edgar Sarli Spring 2016, 2 Weeks Software: Rhino, AutoCAD, Illustrator MOVABLE MARKETS: To design a pop up market kiosk that could be easily moved and re-built by two people, the idea was to produce a product that was completely one component. THE MECHANICS: A series of interconnected hinges allow the kiosk to unfold from a 4’ x 8’ x 2’ block into a 8’ x 8’ x 8’ fully operable market kiosk. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION: Every aspect of the kiosk was designed to allow for maximum efficiency. The operable windows that secure the kiosk should it be left standing overnight also serve as the interior counter for the staff inside. The door is an operable three hinge system that allows for the door to open and close when in operation yet fold with the remainder of the structure at closing.

An American Walnut Shaker inspired liquor cabinet with hidden whiskey compartment Furniture Design Studio Advisor: Austin Matheson Fall 2017 (16 Weeks) NEW TERRITORY: Having an entire college career of digital fabrication in the pocket, diving into traditional wood working and joinery was a challenging and daunting task. THE GOAL: The goal through this shaker inspired liquor cabinet was to produce a piece of futniture that incorporated countless types of traditional joinery and bridged the gap between wood working an d digital fabrication. THE INCORPORATED: The traditional joinery included in this project includes: Dove Tails, Half-Blind Dove Tails, Mortise and Tenons, Inlay Dove Tails and Dominos. This shaker inspired liquor cabinet also includes a digitally fabricated, CNC’d hidden box that rises from behind the center console through the use of a rack and pinion system. Building off of the prohibition days when it was common to build in secret compartments for alcohol, this cabinet was an attempt to bring that same ideology into the 21st century. The cabinet was produced over the course of 16 weeks and was finished with Osmo, an oil based wood finish.
08 GRAM(B) OPHONE. A 21st century rendition of a 19th century technology Client Project Summer 2017 (3 Weeks) Software: Rhino, AutoCAD, Illustrator Medium: 3D Powder Printed Gramophone with matte black finish with a Sapele CNC’d base finished with an Osmo oil finish.
THE BREIF: Designed for a client with the desire to create beautiful acoustical sounds through minimalistic form, this gramophone or grab-a-phone as it has become to be known, utilizes 3D powder printing and CNC technology to reinvent a 19th century invention. The gramophone itself is divided into 5 sections due to print bed limitations but made for a beautiful exploded axonometric drawing. To emit sound, the base has a simple routed form that channels the sound from the underside of the phone or iPad mini to the 3/4” outside diameter hole on
the underside of the gramophone. The 3D printed feet end at a single point to mimize vibration through the surface underneath and maximize the amount of sound energy transmitted through the gramophone’s cone. The finished result is a beautifully crafted, mid century modern piece that amplifies the sound three-fold of a traditional phone s peaker with no electricity needed.

An American Walnut liquor cabinet with hidden whiskey compawrtment Last to Leave Art Show Miami, USA Invited Artist Spring 2018 (2 Weeks)
PRECEDENT: Marco Cianfanelli was the inspiration for this piece. A South African born artist, Cianfanelli designed the perspective memorial for lateSouth African president, Nelson Mandela. Completed in 2012, the 5 story metal sculpture sits at the end fo a defined perspective of moved earth. The sculpture is arranged over a seventy-five foot depth to create a single image of Mandela’s head from the top of the perspective channel. PROCESS: The show’s curator set the theme for the exhibit as that of Sebastian the Ibis, the official mascot of the University of Miami. By taking a 2D JPEG image in AutuCAD, vertical line segments were drafted over the traced image and then divided. By manipulating the sections of the model where the artwork wasn’t present, the artwork became more defined in the front elevation. In Rhino, the 2D sections were made into 3D models and then arranged both from the front and back of a horizontal centerline. After adjustments based on viewing angle and form of each section, the final placement of each section was set.
PRODUCTION: The 2D sections or “slats” were arranged on a CNC template and then routed into a .5” MDF wood board. When seperated and painted, the sections were mounted into a CNC routed base with defined pockets for each section. The addition of the acrylic sheet on top of the base produced a reflective effect on the sculpture.

PROFESSIONAL WORK Selected works from employment at Brillhart Architecture Jacob Brillhart | Founder and Principal Miami, Florida All work completed from May 2016 to January 2018 while under the instruction of Jacob Brillhart. All work is owned by Brillhart Architecture and is used in this portfolio with special permission from the firm.
EXPERIENCE: While working under the instruction of Jacob Brillhart, I expanded on my architectural knowledge base through processes including schematic design, design development, construction drawings, architectural drawings and fabrication. The unique nature of the firm allowed for a very hands on learning approach that allowed for ample growth throughout my employment. The firm’s approach to design follows suit with 20th century greats such as Paul Rudolph, LeCorbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Spefically distinctive to the office’s designs in the Miami area was the
use of steel as opposed to the heavy concrete typical of Miami’s design and construction scenes. This approach allowed the firm to ironically “cement” it’s place in Miami as innovators capable of creating light, passive structures that carefully utilize light, space and materials. SCHEMATIC TO PERMIT: Throughout my tenure, I worked on a condo renovation project that I took from schematic design to design developement, CDs and then into permitting. The ability to take a leading role in a project as an intern from its birth to its fruition opened
doors to the beginning of an understanding of the profession that it is challenging to achieve while in school.
Above: Populated Section through a two-story private residence. (AutoCAD and Photoshop)
MODEL(ING): Ying and Yang is what the model is to design. They rely on each other to be whole. The firm strongly believed in this - and this led to the production of countless models in various mediums during my time, many of which I had a leading role in the development process. From schematic to final models like the two shown below, the physical scale model play a vital role in the design phase as well as assiting clients in realizing the architect’s intent.
ART MEETS ARCHITECTURE: Many forms of architecture in the 21st century are realized through the production of drafted drawings or construction documents. Brillhart Architecture proposed that in addition to this, a building or form should be seen through artfully crafted drawings that visibly portray the function and form of the structure with specific attention to tone, line weight, composition and imagery. The drawings included in this sheet and the prior depict an artistic architectural drawing style
that I learned while working at the firm and have adapted for my current drawing style.
