It would also be negligent to not consider the Queensboro Bridge. The silhouette of the building slopes in relation to the building. Lastly, the relationship between water and land continues to make this site so unique. We incorporate a waterline change of the East River into the design through these fractured outdoor elements. The materials and their spatial relationships drove the idea of reaction in our form. The facade will be composed of galvanized steel and a double skin sys tem of wood and glass. The composition of these elements help enforce the duality of nature and the machine. We are considering a double skin system, because we want to explore the idea of transparency and the ephemeral qualities that will balance the opaque, private and rigid qualities of steel. We are looking into a wood beam system, as wood would compliment the steel in its nat uralistic and organic feel. The contrast between organic and machine. This project does not only aim to create a waste to energy machine but also connect to the sensitivity and beauty of nature
Scales, zebra stripes. The building emphasizes the site’s characteristics through engag ing specifically with the Queens Plaza street, as the building is jointed in relation to the street.
In partner ship with Dani Abella. The beginning of our design process was through ex ploring the science behind Morphogenesis which is a biological process that caus es organisms to create its shape. This is through a reaction and diffusion system, where chemical reactions in which the substances are transformed into each other, and diffusion which causes the substances to spread out over a surface in space.

In partner ship with Sokaina Asar. Our housing project is at the intersection of technology and nature. Located on the NE corner of farragut housing in the Brooklyn navy yard. The project imagines a future where resources are redistributed, that is sensitive to local needs, while also understanding regional climate influences. As it exists today, many urban communities face food deserts. This project does not only aim to create a machine but to also provide collective new living spaces. Especially for low income housing, access to high quality foods is not easily ac cessible. Here we introduce agriculture programming through hydroponic garden, water filtration system, waste, compost and energy systems. From this programming, this building functions as a machine, a metabolic system that is self-sufficient. This building holds multi-family housing, one-bedroom, 2 bedroom units. Multi-family housing is located on the west side of the site as it has more access to yard space. The one-bedroom units are mostly located within the tower. 2-bedroom units are located on the east side of the site. The materials and their spatial relation ships drove the idea of ambiguity in our form. This is a reference to the relationship of neighbor hoods and nature, an ambiguous engagement with its environment. Our language is a refraction of light and space. We use both channel glass and brick. Brick is a reflection of the history of the farragut houses. While, channel glass reinforces ambiguity and refraction. The IPCC report states that the world’s resources are predicted to deplete in 6 years. These issues call on urgent rede sign of spaces to ensure the survival of neighborhoods. By centralizing our resources and creat ing a metabolic self-reliant machine, the community benefits from their individual living spaces.

In partnership with Dani Abella. This project allowed me the capacity to develop an understanding of physical models and their requisite behaviors. Using content from researching space objects in the new yor city area. The research continues the developing models that fur ther enrich and alter the context of the designated site as well as heighten ing the interiorized urban experienc es on the site. Conceptually, this project intends to further illuminate the under standing of photographic principles, im age making and how that relates to the construction and development of mod els. It is also to influenced the project’s de velop narrative structures out of a limited set of images through how physi cal models are documented and used as vehicles for speculative design.

Every design decision elicit an interstel lar form which compliments the concept of Eclipse.
The Middle School is organized as a ring of classes and rooms. Rooms vary in sizes, configurations, and light conditions. This versatile space en courages social interaction. Below ground will have the auditorium and storage, spaces that don’t need much light. The gym will be located on the first floor, extending physical activities conveniently to the surrounding neighborhood. The cafe will also occupy the first floor sitting right next to the other restaurants aligned on the street. The library, science, and art rooms will be located above the first floor, so as to have the most light.
The intentions of this design exploration are to study and ana lyze the passage of light through different arrangements of ob struction of form In response to privacy. I focus on perforat ed and semi opaque materiality that both allowed light into the space and seclusion to the children and faculty that occupy it.

An eclipse is an obstruction of light from one celestial body by the pas sage of another between it, the observer, and its source of illumination.
