Urban Regeneration through Wellness Winning Project in Studio-Wide Competition Supervisor: Conrad Kickert, kickert@buffalo.edu (MArch) Matthew Roland, msroland@buffalo.edu (MUP, MSRED) Team A: Sudha Kattel & Jessica Chan (MArch) Dimitri Malliaris & Kera Franceschini (MUP) Madeline Cala, Michael Tomasso & Tanou Sow (MSRED) Location: Buffalo, NY Project Type: Urban Design + Mixed-Use Development Scale: District / Planned Unit Development Role: Urban Design, Site Planning, Architectural Strategy Bridge & Bloom is a wellness-driven urban redevelopment proposal located at Buffalo’s eastern downtown edge, a transitional zone between the central business district, historic neighborhoods, and major transit corridors. The project re-frames wellness as an urban condition, integrating health, movement, social connection, and affordability into the everyday fabric of the city. Rather than introducing a singular monumental building, the proposal operates as a network of connected spaces, buildings, and streets, stitching together fragmented parcels into a cohesive, walkable district. Through mixed-use density, adaptable public space, and year-round activation, the project creates a resilient urban gateway that honors Buffalo’s cultural identity while supporting equitable growth.

The program is organized around a central public node that anchors pedestrian movement and distributes activity across four interrelated program zones: retail, residential, wellness, and green space. This framework transforms fragmented parcels into a legible urban sequence, arrival, gathering, activity, and dispersal and reinforces connectivity from all directions. Surface parking is consolidated into multi-story structures, freeing ground space for people-focused uses and enabling long-term adaptability.

The Journey
City Arts Museum at Buffalo Supervisor: Miguel Guitart mguitart@buffalo.edu Group assignment partner: Roya Novruzova Located in downtown Buffalo, The Journey is conceived as a museum that invites people from all corners of the site and dissolves the boundary between the city and the cultural institution. The transparent ground floor is activated with public programs, featuring a café, restaurant, museum shop, and workshop spaces, welcoming visitors and passersby. This openness encourages spontaneous interaction with the museum, making art part of everyday urban life. Positioned among notable cultural and civic landmarks such as the Ellicott Square building to the north, Sahlen Field stadium to the east, a metro station on the west side, and various commercial buildings to the south, the museum strengthens its relationship with the city and its people, transforming art into an accessible and everyday encounter. The design process began with iterative massing strategies, seeking ways to shape the museum as a journey rather than a destination. The final massing introduces carved courtyards, voids that organize the program and draw in light and air. These courtyards create moments of pause, offering a contrast to enclosed galleries.

Connecting Generations Day Center+Care Residence Supervisor: Gregory Serweta gserweta@buffalo.edu Group assignment partner: Ada Rodriguez
Located at 1 Howell Street in Buffalo, New York, the site anchors the Black Rock neighborhood, adjacent to Scajaquada Creek and the Jesse Kregel Pathway. The design draws on the area’s historical roots. It aims to create a strong connection between the built environment and its surroundings, transforming the former Buffalo Robe Company facility into a multifunctional space that supports diverse community needs. The vision emphasizes inclusivity, accessibility, and environmental harmony, focusing on five key elements: fostering public spaces that promote connection; ensuring universal accessibility; creating areas for community gatherings; integrating with Scajaquada Creek to restore ecological balance; and avoiding large-scale residential developments that may lead to gentrification. The project is structured in three phases: a 30,000-square-foot publicly accessible landscape, a 15,000-square-foot multi-generational day center, and 20 care residences for older adults. It aims to enrich the neighborhood while preserving its character, creating a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive space that strengthens the bond between people and their environment.

The landscape design strategy for the initial phase aims to transform the 47,535 SF site into an inclusive and sustainable environment. Drawing inspiration from the organic forms of Olmsted Parks, the design highlights key site elements, including the creek, Jesse Kregel Pathway, Peter Street Park, the basketball court, and the existing 1 Howell building. This analysis led to the creation of new interactive spaces such as a sensory garden, greenhouse, solarium, and play area, all interconnected by a circular grid. This layout promotes thematic intergenerational activities designed for children, teens, adults, and seniors.

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sanjaya Uprety suprety@ioe.edu.np
Museums in Nepal are often historical monuments or buildings that are repurposed. While traditional art galleries are only visited by art enthusiasts, artists, or art students, there is little public interest in such exhibitions. As a result, many contemporary artists have turned to more public forms of art. To address this issue, a new approach to human engagement with art is proposed - an innovative and compelling center of contemporary art where the public can experience the work of living artists and understand the historical, social, and cultural context of our time’s art. It is essential to create an intimate setting that provides a different experience for each individual while exploring natural and artificial light, circulation paths, sounds, and textures. The museum’s design caters to all social groups while making the experience of viewing art more convenient. It encourages a tangle of interactions among art, the general public, and the artists. The museum proposes to serve as a place for art conservation, negotiation, and debate, as well as a serious and open discussion of the implications of modern culture and society. Creating a place for cultural consumption is dependent on the establishment of a ‘view’, ‘a destination’ and ‘an event’. The function carried out by the proposal foresees the potential inauguration of an event within the local context.

Site Considerations
Emphasizing accessibility in terms of surroundings and other parameters the access for the museum proposed through the site to spark curiosity about what one wants to see in the site and from the site. The functional zoning in the site is based on the noise and crowd levels of the proximity. The proposed museum cleverly integrates into its surroundings by gradually elevating its ground levels and leaving the ground floor open. Raised on columns, it welcomes visitors and seamlessly merges with the landscape.

SERENITY RESIDENCE
Supervisors: Abhishek Hang Rai, Grishma Koirala tessellate.designstudios@gmail.com Serenity is a three-story residence with a site area of 1362.5 sq. ft. which caters to a newly married young couple who were receptive to fresh design concepts. This residential space is specifically designed for a single nuclear family, embracing a modern, minimalistic style. The client’s vision was for a double-height, clean white space with a serene and sleek atmosphere, which served as the inspiration for the project. The project adheres to five distinct characteristics; contemporary, serene, minimal, monochrome, and sleek. The design concept revolves around making the most of the limited space by utilizing natural light through skylights and big openings, incorporating double-height, open floor plan, and employing a thoughtful color palette, resulting in a home that feels larger and more inviting than its actual size. The site is in a natural slope terrain with a single road connected to the north. Hands-on: I was responsible for conceptualization and design development, as well as supervising its execution on the site. I assisted in creating visual and technical drawings and worked closely with the head designer to learn how to carry out site analysis through simulation using Ladybug in Grasshopper within Rhinoceros 6. This helped guide my conceptualization process. Additionally, during the project, I had the opportunity to explore different materials while designing the interior.

Sun-path analysis
Section at x-x
The project utilized parametric analysis to maximize the entry of natural light. By incorporating skylights and large windows, ample sunlight is able to penetrate the interior, creating an illusion of a much larger space. To address the issue of harsh southern sunlight, fragmented windows were employed.

TRITAL BHAGAT FARMHOUSE Supervisors: Abhishek Hang Rai, Grishma Koirala tessellate.designstudios@gmail.com With respect to the ancestral home at a beautiful village in Chinamakhu, a primarily Rai community, T.B. Farmhouse is designed to share the same “aangan” (central communal space usually to the front of a building) with the ancestral home that is almost a century old. The farmhouse is designed to be in levels, according to the natural landscape. Towards the east, the farmhouse gazes at a panoramic view of the hills of Bhojpur while the northern face glances at snow-covered peaks. From the south, it frames the existing ancestral home structure with a vision of a deconstructed and displaced gabled roofing system. Hands-on: The project brief demanded a design deeply rooted in local essence, researching Bhojpur’s materials, Rai community, and culture was an enlightening experience. Integrating these elements wasn’t just architectural; it was about honoring heritage, celebrating community, and harmonizing with nature. The design, shaped by indigenous materials and cultural insights, embraced the presence of these trees, weaving their story into the very fabric of the project.
Left: Photo take at initial stage of construction at site Right: Exterior view of the farm house after completion
Culture: The main hall of the farmhouse consists of sunken stepped seating space around a fireplace to preserve the practices of communal dining around the sacred hearth, as is traditional among the Rai community of Nepal. The hearth carrying immense cultural significance is treated as a family heritage.

Community: The sunken dining also serves as a space for musical gatherings and performances. Since, the Rai community loves to sing, dance, and perform in gatherings, an open floor plan enabled such activities.

Structure: The structure is constructed using stone masonry propped up by wooden columns, beams, and joists. Held together by compressed mud, the farmhouse mimics the traditional construction methods used by the forefathers in order to rest itself naturally amongst the other village homes.

“Uttis” or alder tree wood is a common construction material found in the hills. It is treated for months in the forests before being used. Although it is susceptible to termite attacks, the grease from indoor fires and kitchens adheres to the wooden roof, repelling bugs, and making it more durable, protecting it from termites permanently.

This project explored the transformation of twodimensional paper surfaces into three-dimensional wearable architecture. Working from a series of pleated and folded swatch studies, a full-scale sh/ kirt was developed, first individually then hybridized into a full outfit ina team. Using Rhino to model, unfold, and template the geometry, and then constructing the final garment through laser-cut paper components, we designed a piece tailored to the body of the model and performed at the class fashion show. The hybridized sh/kirt emphasizes layered volume, movement, and the expressive potential of material manipulation.
