TABLE OF CONTENTS
01. BLADE PAVILLION
An exploration of computational design and parametric processes as generative tools for spatial formation.
A study of architecture as a continuous topological system uniting interior, exterior, and environmental form.
An investigation of modular construction and prefabricated systems emphasizing reusability and adaptive assembly.
MISC
Massing Study Visualization
01 BLADE PAVILLION
Visualization III
Professor Sanger Clark
Software : RHINO 3D, Midjourney Ai, Adobe Suite,Grasshopper, Enscape
This project examined architecture as a continuous digital terrain shaped through computation. Computation served as a catalyst for exploring the relationships between geometry, structure, and light—transforming data into spatial narrative.
The design process blurred boundaries between drawing, modeling, and visualization, revealing architecture as an evolving algorithmic construct.

Design II
Professor Maria Cumella
Software : RHINO 3D, Adobe Suite, Lumion
Location: Manhattan, NY
This project was understood as an integral single topological understanding between inside and outside addressing architecture and the envirnonment as part of a single systemic problem. The equivalent disciplinary expansion in architecture developed a Progressive autonomy of vectorial surface acquired by the dissembling of object-container towards the expanded field.

Project Integration Studio
Professor Jason Van Nest
Software : Revit, Adobe Suite, Enscape
Location: Brattleboro, Vermont
An exploration of prefabrication inspired by the Loblolly system, focusing on modularity, transport logistics, and material reusability. The design reconsiders construction as a flexible, repeatable process—where the logic of assembly informs both spatial configuration and architectural identity.

04 MISC
4.
THE SITE/JOB EXISTING CONDITION BEFORE INSTALLATION. COORDINATE WITH ALL EXISTING CONDITION AND EQUIPMENTS.
5. BEFORE STARTING DEMOLITION, PROVIDE NECESSARY PROTECTIVE BEFORE STARTING DEMOLITION, PROVIDE NECESSARY PROTECTIVE DEVICES WHERE REQUIRED AND IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH OSHA AND ICRA REGULATIONS.
6. TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT DUCT AND DIRT MITIGATION TO OCCUPIED AREA OF THE BUILDING. PROVIDE TEMPORARY EXHAUST FANS, DUCTED DIRECTLY TO OUTDOORS TO MAINTAIN NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITH THE WORK AREA.
7. REPAIR/REPLACE EXISTING EQUIPMENT /MATERIAL NOT SCHEDULES OR NOTES TO BE DEMOLISHED BUT BECOME DAMAGED DURING THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK. MAKE ANY AND ALL SUCH REPAIRS, REPLACEMENT, MODIFICATIONS TO RESTORE THE DAMAGED ITEMS TO THEIR ORIGINAL CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF DAMAGE, TO THE SATISFACTION OF AND AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE OWNER.
8. COORDINATE CUTTING, PATCHING OF EXISTING WALLS, CEILING AND FLOORS AFFECTED BY MECHANICAL DEMOLITION WITH G.C. 9. CLOSE OFF ALL EXISTING VENTS AND LOUVERS DURING CONSTRUCTION TO AVOID DUST INFILTRATION INTO OTHER APARTMENTS.
