    INSTITUTE FOR THE FOURTH AMENDMENT [WASHINGTON, DC]

    Finalist: King + King Award for best comprehensive studio project

    comprehensive design studio (w/ Prof. L. Davis) collaboration w/ Raymond Sova

    The original panopticon was a formal structure built on the idea of effective surveillance. When Edward Snowden revealed the possible violation of constitutional rights by the US government in the summer of 2013, he revealed the digital panopticon; a country under mass surveillance where walls play no role. As an architectural issue, the design approach is a critique on government transparency by making obvious the tensions associated with the reveal of data surveillance and the different positions on the issue. The design displays the tension in the debate about the relationship between national defense and constitutional privacy. The idea of the digital panopticon is used to aid in this goal, where occupants are not only the subject of the NSA, but staged views create surveillance between each other.

    MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPES

    studio (w/ Prof. J. Larsen)collaboration w/ Max Harden

    Fast-forward to the year 2050, when gasoline and other non-renewable energy source costs have skyrocketed, making the affordance of personal vehicles that rely on them unaffordable by all but the elite. The gasoline and manufacturing industries have left the banks of the Los Angeles River through the city of Vernon heavily polluted, with several locations designated as Superfund. Further off the banks, resting cargo containers disperse the landscape in dense pockets.

    A new rapid transit network for Los Angeles is proposed, relying on the historic railway lines as infrastructure. A network of hubs along existing rail lines combines rapid transit stations with cargo container storage and public infrastructure. This project tests the design of an instance, where the outlined program exists within a phytoremediation machine by the use of hydroponic plants. Within the scaffold-like structure, a sports complex, concert venue, and entertainment scene come together within a public park.

    SOUND CAPSULE

    part of Grid Off | Lights ON installation in NYC

    environmental technology workshop (w/ Prof. L. Kallipoliti) collaborators: Alexandria Avanzato and Mina Panichpackdee

    GRID OFF, LIGHTS ON was an experimental research project to design and fabricate non-electrical off-grid lighting prototypes in response to urgent urban illumination needed during blackouts, a critical concern post hurricane Sandy.

    Sound Capsule illuminates in response to different sounds. When yelled into, the prototype lights up. The LED lights are fueled by a solar cell and light is amplified and reflected through the mechanism.

    Broadening its applications, responding to sound can be an energy conservation tool, where spaces of human interaction are illuminated and uninhabited spaces remain dark. Sound Capsule is also designed to become brighter as sound amplifies. An area of high vocal energy translates into a very bright space. In a blackout condition, light has the ability to signify places of social gathering.

    MONSTER TRUCK

    D+T workshop (w/ Raumlabor Berlin)collaboration w/ SOA M.Arch class of 2015

    * drawings by Brian Luce

    Monster Truck is the product of a one week experimental design-build workshop centered around the creation for a mobile cultural center for the Near West Side neighborhood in Syracuse, New York. Combining the unique social stoop culture of the neighborhood and the need for mobility, Monster Truck took on these characteristics. As a 26-ft movable vehicle, the wooden structure folds down to reveal a stage and indoor seating. The engine of the monster folds down into large stoop for gathering. The project now resides at La Casita Cultural Center where is used for festivals and community events.

    EVERSON CENTER OF PHOTOGRAPHY + FILM

    design studio (w/ Prof. T. Brown + Prof. M. Haettach)

    Located along the civic strip of downtown Syracuse, the Center of Photography + Film is designed as an addition to the existing Everson Museum of Art. It is intended to be a place of exhibition, education, research and social/cultural exchange.

    The design of the new ECP+F was based on the development of a series of positive and negative formal relationships, originally discovered in the mapping/diagramming of downtown Syracuse.

    SUB-WATERLOO STATION [LONDON]

    abroad studio (w/ Prof. D. Sacconi + Prof. F. Sanin)

    This project demands the public permeation of the space below Waterloo Station, recovering the viaducts as part of a public landscape and reinstating the functionality of a two-layer system in the city; train and public ground.

    Waterloo Station presently conceals a dead zone in the urban landscape greatly out of scale with its surroundings. The ground level of the station is mostly an unused and unseen space, approximately equal to the size of ten Trafalgar Squares. Waterloo is a viaduct station, with a series of brick arches that span the length of the station above. Making accessible the viaducts not only opens the space for public passage, but also instates Waterloos underbelly as an area of urban activity. Waterloo Station becomes closely connected with its context through the ground plane, as it permeates the station as both a landscape and a system of movement.

    ACTIVE GROUND

    visiting critic studio (w/ Prof. Fei Wang) collaboration with Richard Sa and Garrett Wineinger

    As a relatively new city in China, Shenzhen is privy to the condition of urban villages. As the city grows, it engulfs existing farm villages, who in turn respond to the condition of urbanization. Low Carbon City is planned to exist in Pingdi, which is located on the current outskirts of Shenzhen. The Low Carbon City Master Plan proposes a relatively clean-slate condition in regard to the rural populations who currently reside there. The development of the new Low Carbon City in Shenzhen threatens the existence of existing developing urban villages in the Pingdi area.

    This projects aims to highlight the potential vitality of a community at stake. The political phenomenon of urban villages may have the potential to offer a new model of sustainability. The migrant workers resources are often confined to the urban village due to political discrimination, creating pocket communities of walkability and connectivity. The site chosen in this project is a village in the early stages of urbanization located adjacent to the Low Carbon City welcome center.

    An acupunctural strategy is used by intervening program elements at strategic arteries of the village. For example, schools can be made by adjoining two handshake buildings by the use of stairs or an elevator. Rooftops can be utilized as an extension of the streetscape for recreation or gardening. The ground floor is raised on many buildings to allow for greater space for street activities. The interventions are time based, attempting to plug into the existing master plans infrastructures and developments.

    THE WILDERNESS IDEA

    Winner of the James Britton Memorial Award

    adivsed by Greg Corso with Janette Kim and Julia Czerniak

    It is generally understood in America that wilderness is place where nature exists in a pure and pristine state that is separate and away from the cultivated environment. However, there is no longer any place that qualifies as wilderness by these terms. It is now known that there is no such place that is unaffected by human beings in our globalized world. Even the most pristine parklands are infiltrated with electromagnetic waves and subject to global warming. Wilderness is at stake. But there is a future for wilderness when understood differently.

    Wilderness is an idea. It does not exist as a place. The idea is culturally constructed and is one side of a dichotomy within nature, where on the other side is the cultivated environment. Wilderness is an anthropocentric attitude towards the world.

    To preserve wilderness, we must preserve the idea of it. I propose that the architecturalization of the value systems that make up the several paradigms within the wilderness idea contributes to the preservation of wilderness, when understood as idea.

    The thesis is first a lens to extract and distil the cultural meaning and values of wilderness. Second, I believe that there is great potential in the rearranging of the wilderness rhetoric to provoke more generative design around the issues of preservation.
