EXTENDED PLAY ARC 201| FALL 2020 PARTNERS: SABRI HAFIZ UDDIN, JP COLLANTES INSTRUCTOR: JIN YOUNG SONG

Extended Play was designed by representing the diversity of movements through boundless spaces while promoting the various layers of play to dismantle the level of the hierarchical nature to further emphasize ambiguity.

We

were

interested

in

representing

an

architecture that can be more open and more communicative to the broader audience. The program of this project is a little gym, a kid’s play space, that offers various activities.

The use of LED lights throughout the space emphasizes where the play happens in the building but also as a way for kids to use their imagination.

BLURRED BOUNDARIES ARC 403| FALL 2022 PARTNERS: CASSIDY FRISCH INSTRUCTOR: ANNETTE LECUYER

Blurred Boundaries aim was to bring people of all ages together to live on the site to create a multi-generational housing complex. This is accomplished through various unit sizes in both the existing building (Sedita) and the new buildings which include studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom units.

This project blends the boundaries that the different generations may have and allows them to come together, interact, and help one another.

The blurry boundaries can not only be seen in the public program of the library, but also with the connection points of the shared balcony spaces and courtyard spaces on both the ground and basement levels.

The building creates characters of the existing building and site by activating the street frontages and the building facades with lively occupiable space.

UNIFIED ARC 302| SPRING 2022 INSTRUCTOR: ELAINE CHOW

Black Rock is a community located in nothwestern Buffalo. The community is mainly residential and with that there are not enough services that support the community. To allow as much services needed for the community a community center was designed on a site to fulfil the needs of the residents.

Unified is designed to create a a small community within a big community with the main idea being to allow the circulation and the spaces to complement each other.

The programs to which surrounds the most important space in the centre, acts as the core of the building, from that creates circulation.

SENSORY CHAMBER ARC 301| FALL 2021 INSTRUCTOR: SETH AMMAN

Sensory

chamber

is

a

boathouse/boat

museum designed for 17 Sweeney Street, North Tonawanda, Buffalo. The building was designed based on the concept of

using

two senses, seeing and hearing of the water which encourages people to interact with the water-front.

The curvature of the building forms a circulation which allows people to flow through the spaces. The exposure of the structure which is similar to wood framing boat.

The buiding creates a community on the inside and also on the outside by providing spaces where

residents of North Tonawanda can

experience different views and enjoy one another’s company.
