mission statement

Our mission is to raise public awareness about inevitability of sea level rise due to global warming and to encourage re-use and upcycling of materials.

“Our children will ask us why didn’t we do anything about it when we had a chance?” ~ Eugene Delacroix

limate change and increased atmospheric temperatures are predicted to cause a significant rise in sea

level over the next 100-200 years. Scenarios that

take into account rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet

and West Antarctic Ice Shelf warn of an overall sea level rise of greater than 20 ft (6 meters).

We as a human society are facing a global catastrophe that will change the face of our home planet. Yet we are

closing our eyes toward its ramifications instead of taking 4’ flood plain

actions to prevent it. It will take a global reduction of our carbon footprint on the big industry level as well as the individual level to slow down the advance of global warming.

Our proposed folly installation attempts to bring aware-

ness and persuade common people to become more

educated on the issue, reduce their carbon footprint and,

thus, become proactive citizens of planet earth - our home.

the arc A dock and a boat on land, are meant to startle. Their mis-

placement grabs viewer’s attention. A casual observer can deduce that pallets laying on the ground today as a folly, will rise one day with water. The dock will lift up with rising ocean level, allowing one to enter. The arc in turn will be lifted from its base and carried away with the escaping passangers.

This lifeboat is made of upcycled materials, reminding viewers

about simple actions they can take to attempt to reverse our

self-distructive course. Our only hope for escape is flimsy and full of holes but it is better then passive inaction.

The wooden construction and paddles for pro-

pulsion symbolizes future man’s departure from wood posts

fossil fuels, a return to simplicity and harmony with nature.

Year: 2100

Raising water levels will slowly elevate the floating dock over time.

Year: 2200

As the dock meets the height of the ARC, survi-

vors are able to board. Finally, the ARC is raised from its stands and floats away.

iven that the main goal of the installation is to pro-

name

count

voke action on the individual level against global warming, the materials employed are mostly cheap,

reusable, as well as, even upcycled materials. The purpose

here is to emphasize that everyone can build a construc-

tion similar to ours cheaply in their back yard. Everyone can

take action against global warming, and everyone’s action is important and worthwhile.

wooden pallets

Wooden pallets will be used for the majority of the ARC structure, external walls and the dock. We will use trashed

pallets, commonly found in large dumpsters usually near

major companies. We insist on using trashed materials

here to emphasize and reinforce the idea of reusing and

mounting

upcycling wood thus minimizing our consumer and carsize, although most of the construction employs untouched

pallets.

steel pipe Off-the-shelf 1 ¼’’ standard steel pipes will be used as the structural subframe of the ARC. Threaded pipe plumbing

joints will be used for pipe connections. Everything is to be

cut and sized to length with minimal machining capabilities on site of the construction.

HUBBARD HOSPITAL Project Summary: This project is an expansion of the existing Emergency department at Harrington Hospital, at Hubbard. The proposed layout had added 11 exam rooms, trauma, cardiac and secured holding treatment rooms, located at the exterior perimeter and support/ administrative functions located at the center.

My Role: SD - Revit Conceptual Energy Analyses modeling tools to create the most energy efficient design option.

DD - Reaserched codes, DPH checklists and FGI guidelinsess. Coordination and correspondense between the facilities representaties, vendors and building officials. Worked with lead architects in integrating MEP, structural and civil disciplines for BIM modeling.

CD - Lead the project team in creating the drawing set for bid and construction. Staffed drafters to insure seemless production workflow. Assisted drafters by cartooning, redlining and QA reviewing of drawing sets.

CA - Was involved in design meetings, field visits and Field repors. Used Procore for correspondense of RFIs, processing submittlals and submiting field reports.

U.S. COAST GUARD - BOAT HOUSE FACILITY Project: This project was an expansion of the US Coast Guard facility, located near Jones Beach, Long Island, NY. The new addition allowed for storage and maintenance of the MLB , 47 foot boats.

My Role: I have lead the project from pre design phases through construction administration. My tasks included coordinating structural, MEP and bridge crane manufacture consultants, developing construction documents and reviewing shop drawings.

Design Criteria: The Roof and the composite panels were costumized to withstand 150 mph wind loads.
