NYC demonstrated a lot of “gentrification” where the high levels in homelessness, the skyrocketing rent have pushed certain individuals into marginalizing a lot of minorities. We began to ask ourselves this question of “How do we create a space to bring about cultural fusion?”
We wanted to focus on some key issues in NYC such as homelessness, human rights, reverse displacement and other related terms.
“Flaneur”, a French word for “wonder”, aided us in the creation of our immersive experiences within the project.
My task was to create renderings and sketches. Assisted in process work and final drawings.

The library is a typology with specific spatial, organizational, and technical requirements and possibilities. Despite the potentially eradicating effects of issues such as finanical strain, digitization, the local library persists. In most communities, it becomes a symbol.
The programs dicted the orientation of the boathouse. Classrooms and offices face towards downtown Tampa as there is a connection on productivity and society. The gym and cafe look toward the river with the boats on standby. The roof slips and tilts to highlight high-traffic spaces and helps give the building sectional quality.

Crystal River Archaelogical Site is a place of flat terrain and scattered trees that provide shading that attracts those wanting to relax and enjoy Florida’s gifts.
Our intervention focused heavily on time and the collaboration of three different labs to collect and share data based on the surrounding water and biology. In concept, these spaces would guide students and researchers to knowledge that’ll assist the present and future.
The design relies on steel framing to provide enough stability without causing too much disturbance to the land. Wood is added for aesthetic and to honor the natural surroundings. Testing and research labs are present along with a library, and multiple outlooks.
My task was to create renderings and the player-explorable map in Unreal Engine 5. In addition, provide final drawings.
Point cloud scans were stitched together to be used as spatial reference for 3D modeling.
Designing data collection stations came before the lab interventions. Allowed us to realize the project’s main direction.
Tower exercised my understanding of vertical datum. There was a need to respond to the socio-political context. There’s a deliberate incompleteness to the constructed model.
The narrative of a musician and movement played an instrumental role throughout the design process so that spatial logics and method of organization can be examined.
High up into the sky for the sun to be considered a neighbor.
