this project is an exploration in envelope and strata, we were asked to design a new training and storage facility for the Columbia University crew teams, with additional public programs and connections to the adjacent park, all while considering the 100-year flood plane.

our goal was to develop a distinct form that could be recognized from the main athletic complex and surrounding area, with the flooding of the site as a major consideration we took inspiration from geological erosion, the ‘legs’ hide the storage and circulation programs between which are retractable racks for the boats and shells, the interior platform is raised to the level of the main athletic complex and specific programs are nested within the organic space frame volume.

PRATT INTERDISCIPLINARY DESIGN LAB 200 WILLOUGHBY AVE. BROOKLYN, NY. PROF. RICHARD SIRRACH + TED NGUY.
this project investigates the means by which we learn. if our existing campus divides individuals and departments into pre-established hierarchies and locations, how can a new typology embrace a collective space for exchange of new ways of academic research?

my approach was to distill educational research into its basic parts: think, test, teach. this corresponds to the organization of the building, each floor offers varying degrees of public and private interaction through circulation paths and programmatic relationships. void spaces intersect a mass timber structure that encourages a cross examination of education by a panoptic view of students, professors, and guests. c. exterior detail

this project is a exploration of program and form, while also contemplating the adaptive reuse of a historic structure on a fully exposed site at a busy intersection of the historic Brooklyn waterfront.

the programs considered a 150 unit dormitory with integration of public and private programs. our design intent was to connect the student body with the neighboring community and tourist with a multi-functional market and dining space at the corner opposite the Brooklyn Bridge at Fulton Ferry. we chose to juxtapose the orthogonal historic half against an undulating contemporary half, with skeletal structural grid to connect lines of sight and circulation. d. living unit aggregation elevation

FLAT-PACK GREENHOUSE PAVILION PROF. DUKS KOSHITZ + CHE-WEI WANG. CLASS PROJECT
following Riccardo La Magna’s dissertation on bending active surfaces, our class explored the potential of constructing a flat-pack greenhouse pavilion with readily available materials: strap steel, rivets, pvc plastic.
team: A N T H E A , AY M A N , T E R E S A , S E A N , M A X , T H E O , W I L L , C H R I S T I N A , H E R M A N , R I S A , M A R I A M , S I M O N , K AV I A .
22
after various small-scale tests to find an optimal form and assembly method we hand cut, bent, and riveted the metal into large aggregate components then heat shrunk the plastic sheets to activate the tensile surface.

SCHOEN’S SURFACE MUTATION PROF. JOHN GULLIFORD + HARESH LALVANI.
through morphological operations one can navigate a continuum to arrive at new species, new mutations, and hopefully new architecture. the main objective of this project was to explore the boundaries between typological and topological forms.
in other words: t ypological classifications of common characteristics compared to topological geometric proper ties preser ved af ter continuous deformations.
a. unsuccessful cell aggregation
the mutation of sur face tessellations, the solution is new forms can emerge
24
b. bilateral symmetry cut
c. successful cell aggregation
by angular deformations results in discontinuous a mutation of the sur face at these new intersections, within set parameters and aggregation hierarchies.
d. mutant cells “introverted”
e. mutant cells “extroverted”

f. typological aggregation
g. topological aggregation

SCHWARZ SURFACE TILED QUILT PROF. JOHN GULLIFORD + HARESH LALVANI. CLASS PROJECT
26
a. quilt assembly composed of class iterations.
27 the goal of this study was to aggregate planar hexagonal tiles onto a doublycur ved Schwarz D Sur face. as a class we CNC milled a base mold in styrofoam, then arranged the tiles to find methods to solve edge conditions. individually we tested several configurations and title scales, within the constraints of the geometr y.
my intention with this iteration was to brake the constraint of planar edge-to-edge tile aggregation in favor of a double layer, by gluing face-to-face more surface area between tiles allowed for stronger joint connections and greater area of coverage with fewer tiles.

under the direction of Haresh Lalvani and building upon the previous team’s accomplishments, I lead a small team of students to design and assemble the foundation layer of an on-going installation.
with manufacturing partner, Milgo Bufkin, and structural engineers, LERA+, we digitally designed then physically assembled the contoured structure in alucobond and its support formwork in mdf. this complex puzzle provided many challenges to our team in translation from digital to physical, but taught us many lessons in fabrication.
