Westport Library Expansion Schematic Design Year: 2013-14
Employer: HMA2 Architects
A renovation and expansion aims to transform Westport Library into an architecturally uplifting destination worthy of its powerhouse community. Due to its insufficient and inefficient spaces, many are currently turned away from the library’s popular events and experiences. The new design not only addresses practical issues of access and operation, but also engages the park and river setting with open views and inviting extensions of indoor and outdoor spaces. (Excerpt from HMA2 Website)

Library of Virginia RFP > Concept Design Year: 2013-14
Employer: HMA2 Architects
The Library of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia, manages the most comprehensive collection of materials on Virginia government, history, and culture. Consequently, it has become the hub for genealogists around the country. While the current building is relatively new - 1997, it is seen as an unwelcoming space and fails to attract the energy of downtown Richmond. The goal is therefore two pronged: to firstly create a vibrant public space for downtown Richmond, and secondly to foster the activities relating to genealogical studies.

Richards Medical Center Renovation Schematic phase for renovation of a building designed by Louis Kahn Year: 2012
Employer: EYP
Designed by Louis Kahn, The Richards Medical Research Laboratories is configured as a group of laboratory towers with a central service tower. Currently in schematic design phase, one aspect I was involved in was the design of a custom chilled beam system and office layout that would accomodate adjacencies to the existing exposed concrete verendal truss system. Drawings produced using Revit, renderings of concept designs produced using 3ds Max.
Existing Condition: External concrete column + vierendeel truss = column-free floor plate.
Concept: Vierendeel Truss & MEP Zone

NYU College of Nursing & Silver 7 Construction Documents & Rendering Year: 2012
Employer: EYP
Located on First Avenue at East 26th Street, along what is known as Manhattan’s health corridor, the new facility is part of the NYU’s expansion plans dubbed NYU 2031. My role initially involved creating interior lab elevations, casework tagging, and interior casework details. I also produced an interior lab rendering (seen below). Nearing the 100% CD deadline, I was involved in correcting red-lines, and working with the project director to produce details using Revit. RENDERING NOT BY AUTHOR

Midway Park: The Park, the Storage, and the Potentials Year: 2012 l Tutor: Sabine Muller + Lily Chi l Group Partner: Michael Robert Cabrera The studio project site is Berlin. Widely known as an open city, the German capital is cheap, vacant and full of possibilities. Through our investigations, the city can be characterized by a culture of in-between usages and micro-practices. It is also a city that has a very high unemployment rate and whose economic future relies on creative start-ups. Consequently our primary inquiry is how can Berlin’s physical porosity evolve into a field of continuous openness and socially negotiated opportunities?
