the slice [Spring 2018] [Studio 408] [Prof. Daekwon Park] [Programs] Falk College+ Market Hall [Site] Downtown Syracuse In collaboration with Shreeya Shakya Slice brings together elements of academic research and hands-on experience for Falk College students from Syracuse University while providing an experiential access to food for Downtown Syracuse. The site benefits from its location along the Syracuse Connective Corridor and context of the M. Lemp Park. The Slice is part of Syracuse University Falk College immersive program where students live in and engage in the culinary experience. The Slice serves as an extension of the public space by having exterior spaces that connect to the existing park while being programmatically linked to Downtown. As a response to Syracuse Downton’s issues regarding food deserts, The Slice creates accessible healthy food by having a market hall on the ground floor. The public is also invited up into the building to into the student run cafe and the rooftop restaurant. The objective of The Hall is to better the food environment of Downtown Syracuse while enhancing the student research.

Ventilation Operable windows are placed to create cross ventilation that flows into the gap. Because of stratification, the hot air is flushed out of the gap.
Light well Spaces facing the gap borrow daylight through the placement of a reflective material on the inner face of the gap.
Greenhouse The greenhouse and exterior growing area are located on the southern face of the building at a height that would be appropriate for maximizing the sun exposure.

revolve [Fall 2017 NYC Urban Studio] [Studio 408] [Prof. Angie Co] [Programs] Health and Wellness Center/ Nutrition Center/ Urban Farm [Site] Gowanus, Brooklyn In collaboration with Jessica Casero Lopez Revolve focuses on experiential programs focusing on healthy life cycles at different stages and different ages. It offers year long active programs targeting all surrounding demographics, including free youth and elders programs and a community farm. The placement of programs is approached as a mixing of bands in order to create unique experiences in between them. These bands are interrupted by mixing and circulation chambers that enhance particular experiences through use of lighting and different plants. Different kinds of green infrastructures have been created to reduce the amount of storm water run off and thus activation of CSOs along the canal.

hip but rough
[Spring 2017 London Study Abroad] [Studio 408] [Programs] Brewery+Museum/ Intergenerational Apt. Units with Facilities [Site] Rye Lane, Peckham, London In collaboration with Nivedita Keshri and Benedykt Ezlakowski An expanding population coupled with speculators looking at property as an investment instead of a home, has lead to a disruption of established London neighborhoods. This process of gentrification is characterized by middle income families and individuals that move into previously “undesirable� spaces. Looking at this cycle of rehabilitation, we focused on Peckham. The project aims to understand how gentrification plays out at the community scale by speeding up this gradual process. Our objective is to find a space that can provide a productive relationship that could come from the gentrification process. For the existing inhabitant and new subject that is interested in Peckham because of its original qualities, a unit with shared common spaces is proposed, where the dwelling acts as a street with no plot. Because of the potential new speed, the new subject could behave as a third kind of inhabitant, to which a more individual setting is proposed, where the object acts as plot without a street.

crossings [Spring 2016] [Studio 208] [Prof. Janette Kim] [Programs] WeWork/New York Public Library Branch/Cafe/Auditorium [Site] 455 5th Ave, New York This project aims to replicate the crossings in between the urban fabric and the green matter that occur at different heights throughout the city of New York. Some of these crossings include, but are not limited to, pocket parks, parks, rooftops, balconies, etc. Additionally, it creates a symbiotic relationship in between the We Work and the public library branch, where the hierarchy changes from floor to floor. The objective with this condition is to give equal importance to both the public of the city and the users of the We Work spaces.

bridge of houses: queensway
[Fall 2017- Abroad] [Never Built New York Seminar] [Sam J. Lubell, Greg Goldin] In collaboration with Xiaobai Zhao From Holl’s original proposal, the project keeps the residential houses but they are not longer specific to a single occupant but they are one to two family residential since this is what exists in the surrounding neighborhood of Ozone Park. Additional to the residential spaces new commercial programs are proposed since small businesses are highly appreciated by the local communities. In Holl’s original proposal the houses serve as bridges themselves by each having an elevated central space that acts as public courtyard and thus creating a raised continuous public courtyard. This public courtyard came to be from his studies of a new spatial solution in between the public bridge and the private object above it. Similarly, the new design pushes for an open public space that would be accessible by the locals going to the commercial spaces or strolling through the promenade.

centripetal [Fall 2015] [Studio 207] [Prof. Joseph Godlewski] [Programs] Theatre + Green House [Site] NY State Fairgrounds, Syracuse Through its form, Centripetal embraces the site, Chevy Court, as a place of commonality where all the programs throughout the fairgrounds meet. The greenhouses are used as an element that aims to support the site as an all-seasons space within the fairgrounds. As well, the project elevates nature as the ever-present backdrop by having the greenhouses surround the exterior theater space. The projects relationship with the ground invites all fair attendees to be the expectators of not only the theater performances but of the elements of nature on the site.

new framings [Spring 2016] [Studio 208] [Prof. Elizabeth Kamell] [Programs] Brewery/ Intergenerational Housing + Facilities [Site] Downtown Syracuse This project aims to create new urban relationship in between the existent elements such as the creek walk, buildings, sidewalk and streets, and the new project. This is done by having a reflective condition on site in between the existing red stucco facade and the new built facade. Furthermore, thsif raming condition is exaggerated by creating duality in between the poche and the frame. The poche and frame become the new rules for the urban fabric dictating where the programs and circulation are located. Moreover, the plane becomes a third framing element by addressing the creek. These three elements act as the new rules within the urban fabric, thus creating a new urban experience for Downtown Syracuse. Urbanity is also addressed by the inclusion of a brewery as the community program. The brewery links the project to the downtown fabric and its history.
