I. VENETIAN SYNAGOGUE Venice, Italy Synagogue and Library, 18,000 SF Site Plan: Linear spatial division and main centralized space borrowed from the historical Venetian palace typology along the Grand Canal

N

Ascot Residence, OMA

Piazza San Marco, Venice

Vertical Piazza The project is translated from a reading of the historical context of Venice in various ways. Spatial voids from palace courtyards and Venetian public spaces are conceptualized into a vertical piazza for central gathering. Wooden stick foundations underwater are translated into large wood columns and a structural shell for the main prayer space. The synagogue as a library offers a spaces for individual meditation and reading and a place for collective prayer and community.

Site Plan

N

Oriented on the site perpendicular to north and south, the project is composed of similar but varied units to compose a dispersed part-to-whole reading. Each unit has two pitches, the first toward the south for direct sunlight onto a solar energy film and the second pitch toward the north for ambient light. Within the rigid exterior, each unit has a soft interior wall with MEP systems placed within the poche. The project uses wood in a variety of ways - structural shear walls, a thermally treated wood rain-screen, and a series of wood louvers for filtering light.

Now we are left with a world without urbanism, only architecture,

Syracuse University Campus, Syracuse New York

ever more architecture. Mixed-Use including Seven Retail Storefronts, a University

and Fitness Center, 108,000 SF The neatness ofBookstore, architecture is its s e dauUniversity ction; it defines, excludes, limits, separates from the “rest” – but it also consumes. It exploits and exhausts the potentials that can be generated finally only by urbanism, and that only the specific imagination of urbanism can invent and renew.

"Whatever Happened to Urbanism?"

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

“Junkspace is sealed, held together not by structure but by skin, like a bubble.”

-Rem Koolhaas

SMLXL, Monacelli Press, 1995 ;ĂůůĐŝƚĂƟŽŶƐͿ

“Junkspace represents a reverse typology of cumulative, approximative identity, less about kind than quantity. But formlessness is still form, the formless also a typology.”

“According to a new gospel of ugliness, there is already more Junkspace under construction in the twenty-first century than has survived from the twentieth...”

If there is to be a “new urbanism” it will not be based on the twin fantasies of order and omnipotence; it will be the staging of uncertainty; it will no longer be concerned with the arrangement of more or less permanent objects ďƵƚǁŝƚŚƚŚĞŝƌƌŝŐĂƟŽŶŽĨƚĞƌƌŝƚŽƌŝĞƐǁŝƚŚƉŽƚĞŶƟĂů͖ it will no longer aim for stable cŽŶĮŐƵƌĂƟŽŶƐ ďƵƚĨŽƌƚŚĞĐƌĞĂƟŽŶŽĨĞŶĂďůŝŶŐĮĞlds that accommodate processes that refuse to be ĐƌLJƐƚĂůůŝnjĞĚŝŶƚŽĚĞĮŶŝƟǀĞĨŽƌŵ͖ ŝƚǁŝůůŶŽůŽŶŐĞƌďĞĂďŽƵƚŵĞƟĐƵůŽƵƐĚĞĮŶŝƟŽŶ͕ƚŚĞŝŵƉŽƐŝƟŽŶŽĨůŝŵŝƚƐ͕ ďƵƚĂďŽƵƚĞdžƉĂŶĚŝŶŐŶŽƟŽŶƐ͕ĚĞŶLJŝŶŐďoundaries, ŶŽƚĂďŽƵƚƐĞƉĂƌĂƟŶŐĂŶĚŝĚĞŶƟĨLJŝŶŐĞŶƟƟĞƐ͕ ďƵƚĂďŽƵƚĚŝƐĐŽǀĞƌŝŶŐƵŶŶĂŵĞĂďůĞŚLJďƌŝĚƐ; it will no longer be obsessed with the city ďƵƚǁŝƚŚƚŚĞŵĂŶŝƉƵůĂƟŽŶŽĨŝŶĨƌĂƐƚƌƵĐƚƵƌĞĨŽƌĞŶĚůĞƐƐŝŶƚĞŶƐŝĮĐĂƟŽŶƐĂŶĚ ĚŝǀĞƌƐŝĮĐĂƟŽŶƐ͕ƐŚŽƌƚĐƵƚƐĂŶĚƌĞĚŝƐƚƌŝďƵƟŽŶƐ ʹƚŚĞƌĞŝŶǀĞŶƟŽŶŽĨƉƐLJĐŚŽůŽŐŝĐĂůƐƉĂĐĞ͘

V. PATH, PLACE, PERIOD SCAPE Visiting Critic Studio with Gena Wirth Constructing a Landscape Identity for Syracuse University by Occupying the Hills

Analytical Section: The drawing is an analysis of the forest communities that exist in the Central New York area diagramming the environmental and spatial characteristics needed in order to grow and be maintained properly along with the wildlife that inhabits them.

Hills around Syracuse University that create strong boundaries and separation

Given the geological identity of Syracuse, large drumlins create strong boundaries that serve as edges and entires between spaces on the campus and in the city. The project uses vegetation and a series of pathways and places in order to soften these edges transforming them into inhabitable and transitional spaces.
