Through an investigation of Harlem 125th Street’s culture and history, it was apparent that art was a vital expression of the community. By creating a modular furniture that transforms eamlessly into multiple forms. Its foldabilty and reconfigurable design would allows it to serve as a pop-up market, a stage, art gallary, a community bulletin board and so much more. This versatility makes it an invaluable asset for an urban spaces, fostering community engagement and interaction.

During our research on Meadow Lake, we have discovered it was once a glacier. This inspired us to create a space thats for the local community to gather for different kinds of activities but also create a space that brings awareness to the history of the site. We have designed a wood structure that serves as a skeleton for the different natural transformation throughout the year. As our structure changes on the exterior it will provide different types of programs for the local community.

In the early stages, we began to visit dormitories such us cooper union and the towers, an a recurring issue that stood out was the lack of a strong community among students. This inspired us to design hosuing that fosters connections through alternative spaces. Which consist of communicating stairs that shift location on each floor, encouraging movement and interaction. While also making sure that each floor hosts a unqiue program to meet the daily needs of college students.

In creating a small box model I was able to explore passive solar design strategies allowing me to test how sunlight, shading, insulation and ventilation affect interior comfort. Through hands on experimentation, I was able to identify which techniques like window orientation, and thermal mass placement were most effective in regulating temperature and reducing energy use. This process not only deepened my understanding of passive design principles.

This housing project was built within a rich natural environment of the surburds. The layout was desgined to exist in harmony with its surroundings bending seamlessly into the ground emphasing a deep connection to the earth. An example is it natural light which is natural light which will be utilized across the different floor levels and courtyards that blend the boundaries between interior and exterior fostering and a sense of openess and connection ot nature.
This project began with the creation of physical 3D models using basic shapes like cones and boxes, By exploring scale, geometry and experiment with proportions and composition. Which then translated into drawings with different visual techniques such as color, line weight, and hatchs to bring depth and emphasis to the designs. This progression from physical model to digital form helped understand how design ideas evolve and how various tools can be used to communicate a project more effectively.

Through an investigation of Harlem 125th Street’s culture and history, it was apparent that art was a vital expression of the community.
One aspect that captured ones interest is people’s behavior: how quickly they pass by, where they are headed, how they interact within this area and what roles do they play in this community? It is also very visible how the past, present, and future was all happening at once.
After researching 125th plaza located under the 125th Metro North, the organization Uptown Grand Central and their commitment to improve Harlem led to creating a modular furniture that would be able to transform seamlessly into multiple forms. Its foldabilty and reconfigurable design would allows it to serve as a pop-up market, a stage, art gallary, a community bulletin board and so much more. This versatility makes it an invaluable asset for urban spaces, fostering community engagement and interaction.

Harlem’s Spotlight embraces simplicity by using basic 2x6 lumber and standard screws for its con- struction. This straightforward assembly process makes it accessible for anyone to build and main- tain. Its open design allows for a variety of configurations, encouraging creativity and adaptability. modularity
