DESCRIPTION
Brief sampling of architectural design
Citation preview
This project is a hybrid program facility on the edge of a gorge in Rochester,
New York. It marks the intersection of a figure-8 light railway through the city that strategically links parts of the city outside the inner ring with the inactive
city center. The form was derived from the transformation from one railway to
the other, selectively sticking to and detaching from the bent frame struc-
ture to create top story outdoor public spaces.

This project is an exploration of
economical opti-mization. A three dimensional grid
inserts intself onto the highline in Chelsea, New
York. As parts of the whole become
more desirable, they expand,
pushing those above it upwards,
and those beside it to the left and
right. The skin of the building
responds to inter-nal forces: pucker-
ing, creating distorted images
of interior happen-ings. The left side:
apartments for artists. The right: public exhibition
space.

The Atlanta Fulton Public Library’s new city/street presence is defined by a continuous media strip. Contemporary media is flexible, ephemeral, and
dynamic. The ATL Mediastrip blurs the conventional building/marquee/public plaza/city relationship with an uninterrupted deliberate gesture characterized
by flexibility, programmability, and unpredictability. It accommodates the presentation of moving and still images, advertisements and art installations,
news broadcasts and live performances, among a myriad of other media capabilities.
The multi-layered surface extrudes out of the building’s façade and is informed by the library’s iconic orthogonal geometry. The folding
cantilevering canopy is a steel structure sandwiched by wooden panels on the top and LED light panels on the bottom. As the strip unfolds out and
downwards onto the public space to define a new plaza, the media underside of the canopy wraps to become an ever-changing video pavement. The strip
continues diagonally across the new plaza and terminates with a grand cascading stair informed by the existing topography.
