GREENLAND SEA SELF-SUSTAINING COMMUNITY DESIGN
PARTNERS WITH REBEKAH
RUNYAN, JOHN SHAVER, AND ALVIN RIVERA
IN A WORLD INCREASINGLY STRAINED BY OVERPOPULATION , THIS PROJECT ENVISIONS A FUTURE WHERE HUMANITY EXPANDS INTO THE OCEAN. IT EXPLORES THE IDEA OF CONTINUOUS GROWTH AND CHALLENGES TRADTIIONAL PERCEPTIONS OF LIVING SPACE BY PROPOSING ADAPTABLE, WATER-BASED SETTLEMENTS . POWERED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND UTILIZING MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS, THE COMMUNITY CAN EXPAND ORGANICALLY WHILE RESPONDING TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF ITS HABITANTS.
In order to enhance our design I created a graphic novel, with AI generated graphics, to represent our narrative. Our narrative starts in the year 2060 where the world is beginning to face overpopulation. The governments solution is to limit the amount of children couples can have to only one. Our characters push back against this and decide it would best to move to sea where they can grow their family. From there more and more people hear about and come join them in the Greenland Sea until they have created a self-sustaining community, living on the water.
New York 2060
“The population continues to rise. But the world leaders still have no quote!”
“As of yesterday the world government has passed a law banning any family to have more than one child!”
“People are being relocated to stacked
more and more cargo containers turned into
ONE CHILD, ONE FUTURE
living. We’re seeing
housing.”
“Mommy, why can’t I have a little sibling?”
“I’m sorry sweetie. That’s just how the world is. There are too many people. We need to share.”
“But mommy! I wanna sibling! It’s not fair!”
*I can’t keep my family here. We want to grow our family. There must be something we cant do*
“In international waters there are no laws. That is where we’ll go! I can use all these scrap parts to build a pod to take my family to the greenland sea”
“It’s finally done! It’s time to pack!”

.02 ELEVATING SURFACES
CAYCE, SC, ART CENTER DESIGN
THIS PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE THE CULTURAL SCENE IN THE CAYCE SOUTH CAROLINA ARTS DISTRICT, INSPIRED BY THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE ARTS CENTER WILL SERVE AS A LIVELY HUB WITH ROTATING EXHIBITS, PERFORMANCE AREAS, INTERACTIVE CLASSROOMS, CREATIVE STUDIOS, AND AN OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER. USING WOOD FOR CONSTRUCTION AND A STRIKING GABION WALL MADE OF LOCAL GRANITE , THE DESIGN FOCUSES ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL HARMONY AND VISUAL APPEAL. THE CAREFUL ATTENTION TO SPACE, LIGHT, AND SHADOWS CREATES AN INVITING ATMOSPHERE THAT ENCOURAGES ARTISTIC EXPLORATION. OVERALL, THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO BUILD A WELCOMING PLACE FOR COMMUNITY CONNECTION AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES , LEAVING A LASTING IMPACT ON THE CAYCE ARTS DISTRICT.
When finding inspiration for my concep. I looked back to the site relationship diagram of the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C From there, I flattened the image and extruded two distinct shape types, followed by repositioning the massing blocks to develop a cohesive final design.

.03 THE SHADOWS THROUGH ART
CAYCE, SC, ARTIST RESIDENCY INFILL DESIGN
I REIMAGINED THE ICONIC GABION WALL FROM THE DOMINUS WINERY IN MY PROJECT, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM ITS CAPTIVATION LIGHT AND SHADOW INTERPLAY . I CRAFTED A GRID PATTERN WITH SUBTLE VARIATIONS TO THE HONOR THE WINERY’S ELEGANCE, ALLOWING NATURAL LIGHT TO CREATE AN ETHEREAL AMBIANCE . THE DESIGN INVITES OCCUPANTS TO INTERPRET THE SPACE FREELY, FOSTERING A SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT AND EXPLORATION . BALANCING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GRID WITH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS POSED A CHALLENGE, BUT IT ENHANCED THE PROJECT’S VISUAL INTEREST. ULTIMATELY, I BELIEVE MY WORK PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE DOMINUS WINERY WHILE OFFERING A CONTEMPORARY EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSCENDS FUNCTIONALITY.

.04 375 HUDSON - LE TRUC CASE STUDY
NEW
YORK OFFICE SPACE ANALYSIS
THIS CASE STUDY SHOWS AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF THE BUILDING 375 HUDSON STREET AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE 15TH FLOOR. THIS BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1987. IT WAS THEN THE FIRST BUILDING IN NY TO ACHIEVE LEED GOLD, IN 2010. THE MOST NOTABLE CHANGE IN THIS BUILDING WAS WHEN THE 15TH FLOOR WAS REDESIGNED. IT IS KNOWN AS, LE TRUC CLUBHOUSE. THIS FLOOR DEMONSTRATED THE NEED FOR VARIETY AND EXPLORATION IN THE WORKPLACE. IT STARTED TO EXPLORE NON CONVENTIONAL SPACES. THIS STUDY DEMONSTRATES THE IMPACT THIS FLOOR HAS IN RELATION TO THE REST OF THE BUILDING AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO INCLUDE THIS IN FURTHER OFFICE BUILDING DESIGNS.

1987 - 375 Hudson Street building was completed
2010 - top to bottom “green” retro-fit, recivied first LEED Gold in NY
2020 - facade update, overscaled awnings taken down and local art mural added to the front
2023 - Le Truc “Clubhouse” was built on the 15th floor,introducing fluidity and color to the 375 Hudson Street building

.05 WAVES OF INNOVATION
MID-RISE NEW YORK OFFICE BUILDING DESIGN
PARTNERS WITH CATALINA GARCIA
FOR OUR MID-RISE BUILDING, WE INCORPORATED SUSTAINABILITY AND FLUID DESIGN WATER IS A KEY SUSTAINABLE FEATURE, ENHANCING THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE FOR OCCUPANTS. BY INCLUDING WATER FEATURES, WE AIM TO REDUCE STRESS AND IMPROVE WELL-BEING, CREATING A SPACE THAT FEELS LESS LIKE A TRADITIONAL WORKPLACE . OUR WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAPTURES, FILTERS, STORES, AND DISTRIBUTES WATER FOR FEATURES LIKE THE WATER WALL FACING THE HIGH LINE, SHOWERS, SINKS, AND TOILETS . ADDITIONALLY, THE BUILDING’S DESIGN REFLECTS WATER’S FLUIDITY THROUGH CURVED SHAPES, AVOIDING STRAIGHT LINES TO SYMBOLIZE MOVEMENT. THIS APPROACH ENHANCES BOTH THE VISUAL AND SENSORY EXPERIENCE WHILE PROMOTING SUSTAINABILITY.
