FOR PLANT LOVER

A Future Work-Living Garden Housing Prototype

Term Fall 2024

Type Group Work

Location 127th St West Harlem, New York

Instructor Hilary Sample

The researcher examines the perspective of housing in New York City, the historical context of small units, and the impact of legislation on living standards in megacities. Examines the interplay between humans and plants, emphasizing the need of a healthy lifestyle and the urban housing crisis. The pricing, maintenance, and design must be integrated not just as a solution to the housing crisis but also to foster a community for the future.

The objective is to develop an economical housing initiative that includes communal vertical gardening areas, appealing to horticulture enthusiasts and families in search of cost-effective living arrangements. This method encourages community engagement, advocates for a healthy lifestyle, and improves community welfare. The concept seeks to provide an engaging atmosphere that fosters a healthy lifestyle.

Garden has been created by human actions, nevertheless the life of plants have a far deeper history than human existence. First the plants grow on the earth, then the human start to interact with them for food, and the technology starts allowing the us to grow plants we want around the housing, garden has been introduced as a private land identification, then the city grow, the urban structure starts to forming public gardening and the towers drag people away from the greens. In this project, we attempted to reestablish the interaction between plant and human existence, presenting a dwelling design based on seasonal shifting and climate.

Location Lower East Side, New York

Instructor Alberto Perez

The configuration of the streets influences and delineates the circulation and the spaces inside the structure. Like the urban fabric of NYC, the high-rise complex has many public spaces to accommodate various requirements and densities. It also encompasses the interaction between private and public spaces as influenced by 21st-century lifestyles.

The concept presented in Delirious New York posits that seeing cities as spontaneous ordering rather than as well crafted artworks elucidates the tradeoff between the size and organization of urban environments. Inspired by the concept of «Culture of Congestion,» the proposal seeks to provide an alternative design that consolidates and integrates the current program inside the hotel. The Hotel Relocating project emphasizes the integration of guest and local requirements, analyzing the interactions between public and private spaces.

window types and openings are integral to the neighborhood’s architectural identity and cultural heritage, particularly in its iconic brownstones and rowhouses. Reflecting styles like Renaissance Revival and Neo-Grec, these windows enhance the elegance and symmetry of Harlem’s historic buildings. Beyond their aesthetic value, they symbolize the area’s vibrant cultural past, especially during the Harlem Renaissance, when homes with large, welcoming windows served as community hubs. Their design was practical for urban living, maximizing natural light and ventilation in densely built residential spaces.

The Culture of Cogestion suggested that the buildings in dense modern cities, especially skyscrapers, have established its own rules. The buildings are less about the Revolution, but more about the grid and how the exterior and interior, the Imagaginary Metropolis and individal life, and the form and function could met and braid its system.

Rectangular tranparent blocks serve as a connection between private and major public space, which contains program sush as reading area, gallery, and café area.

Within the grid public space, which happened one between another private dwellings, individual working-studios have been introduced.

LE-HAVRE APRON

Competition of Museum at Le-Havre

Term Summer 2024

Type Group Work

Throughout history, the harbor has evolved from a war battlefield to a pivotal hub for international trade, and today, it stands as a significant industrial site. This harbor is distinguished by its deep historical and cultural heritage. This project aims to explore and highlight the site’s dynamic historical progression, using the Brise-Vent Havre as a reference point. The design will incorporate a multi-dimensional approach, integrating time as a crucial element.

The proposal envisions an extension of the Brise-Vent Havre, primarily focused on showcasing the harbor’s history and artifacts. Three spaces are placed based on the Datum, the Brise-Vent Havre. A visitor center contains public facilities will be located on the southern side of the structure, while a movable installation and café will be situated on the northern apron. Each space will feature a specially designed stylobate that reflects the existing structure, enhancing the narrative of the harbor through both architectural and urban design elements.

PECTINE

Rethinking the Role of Public Space and Urban Life in High Desity City

Term Summer 2022

Type Individual Work

Location Hong Kong

Instructor Alberto Perez

The proposal was predicated on the notion that architecture may serve as an ongoing public venue that facilitates citizen engagement within the urban environment. The preliminary study of the project indicated that the proliferation of high-rises in Hong Kong is encroaching onto public spaces and diminishing the city’s walkability, therefore adversely affecting the physical and mental well-being of its residents.

A concept for a continuous corridor is offered to foster a more engaging and healthful urban environment based on the urban fabric. It formulates a comprehensive strategy for a sustainable urban framework, developing new culturally relevant infrastructure across the Central and Western Districts of Hong Kong. An extensive metropolitan structure was established by integrating three distinct rotations among four prominent strongholds. The initiative seeks to provide services for inhabitants of all ages, propose a viable solution for balancing land use and public spaces, and motivate individuals to reassess their lifestyles and their connection with the community.

THE CANOPY

Collactive Assembly Combination with Grasshopper

Term Spring 2024

Type Group Work

Instructor Danniely Staback Rodríguez

The Canopy is a project that explores the potential of wood and masonry joinery. By designing a distinctive wall assembly, the wall aspires to evolve into a canopy that responds to local conditions while reexamining the relationship between manmade structures and natural components.

The proposition Attempts to integrate ancient construction practices with contemporary technology focus on minimizing material waste via reuse, while also considering the mechanization of lock production. The Grasshopper script may now control the creation of the blocks, as well as the dimensions and angles of the interlocking components. It might also regulate the area required for this construction, so facilitating room for human activities. Connections with alternative materials would be significant. The concept might provide a temporary space in the neglected urban region. The masonry and wood team might also investigate methods for controlling them under gravitational conditions. Additional materials may be included to realize this concept.

Term 2024 Location Palmetto, Florida

Professional Work Sample

Practical experience is essential in architectural design since it connects academic understanding with practical implementation. It enables architects to directly see the evolution of designs and their interaction with the environment, materials, and users. Architects get insights into the intricacies of site conditions, building processes, and structural issues via practical field experience, which cannot be fully comprehended by drawings or simulations alone.

Following chapter shows the cooperation with builders, engineers, and other designers, ensuring the design concept is consistent with construction realities. It facilitates the early identification of possible challenges, such material restrictions, financial constraints, or unanticipated site circumstances, enabling prompt design revisions.

Bradenton Area Convention Center, Renovation and Expansion

The amphitheater stage is located in the southeast corner of the campus, oriented towards Rocky Creek and Mercer University Drive. The venue has three separate seating sections: 2,500 permanent seats in a tiered seating bowl, 1,500 temporary seats on a flat floor situated between the fixed seats and the stage, and 6,000 grass seats located outside the bowl and roof structure. VIP seating consists of 10 ‘boxes’ located between the pit and the permanent seats. Two entry plazas have concessions, retail facilities, and bathrooms, along with views that offer supplementary VIP options. Additional concession and retail alternatives will be available near the amphitheater, and prospective plans may include the establishment of a full-service restaurant.

Performers have access to a performance stage of 55 feet in depth and 70 feet in width, accompanied by 20-foot wide wings. A loading dock, 1215 feet deep, is being planned to accommodate eight truck bays, which will be sheltered by a canopy to enhance service for performers and personnel. The facility includes distinct dressing rooms for men and women, celebrity dressing rooms, a green room, a food area, and a crew locker room.
