PROGRAM

Senior thesis project. A 100,000+ sqft cultural program to enhance the environment and general public in a specified location.

The project addresses current sociopolitical issues, providing a solution with an interior by integrating new technology for seamless functioning of an indivudual to their surroundings on an entertaining and educational level.

Exploratory Collaboration Laboratory for Advanement in Neurotechnology

Mimicking brain’s activity network, methods of connection, acuisition, and information ex-change promote a communicative infrastruc-ture. Exploring boundaries of exposure, research and exhibition areas weave vertically around one another and a central public core.

A VIRTUALLY RESPONSIVE ENVIRONMENT

A parametric woven sculpture expands and contracts, reacting to control temperature, air flow, and minor light control. The tow-er’s irrigation system virtually monitors and maintains tempera-ture, serving as part of the gray water cycle system.

SELF REGULATIONG CLIMATIZING CONTROL

Membrane skins parallel neural synapse pathways as they act and react to stimuli. Responding to users inside each space, membrane skins move based on each user’s pref-erence for visibility and air flow, and are also designed to function for the area’s specialized programatic needs. They accomodate both open and closed loop systems.

Take your diagnostic MHC profile from your DNA through excretions on a carbon electrode, then proceed to product stations to test and pur-chase. Scented product is divided into 3 stations by product type: Envelop for home aromas, Sur-face for perfumes, or Absorb for lotions that sink into skin and diffuse enhanced chemistry.

PROGRAM

Swooping curves mimic the shape of Bonobos’s featured pants waistband, and the happiness in-side you when you put them on.

Easily assembled, shop’s structural installation gets dropped in, locked in place, and popped out for merch displays. Located in Soho as the brand’s first brick and mortar shop.

Digitally Inspired Pop Up Shop for Men’s E-tailer

Inspired by the brand’s featured product, the structure is easy to set up and break down. The shopping experience is choreographed to show-case select inventory, and provide multiple sta-tions for a digital connection, tying the e-tailer back to its roots.

SCHEMATICS

Each “U” shape breaks up into 3 pieces. Each end is attached by a threaded steel pipe, and secured according to their specified angles by a steel hexagonal nut to fit the threaded pipe. Two ball and socket feet attach to the bottom of each leg. They provide adjustble height for un-even surfaces and prevent damage.

PROGRAM

A younger generation of people has inhabited New York City’s Lower East Side. The neighbor-hood is recognized for its creative capital and cultural diversity among residents, but is currently lacking in health, environment, and housing qual-ity.

Providing a comprehensive healthcare experi-ence reflective of the vitality and energy present in today’s youth combined with advanced tech-nology, a General Practitioner’s office will serve the basic needs of the community’s developing population, and contribute to the revitalization of the neighborhood.

General Practitioner’s Medical Office

Taking inspiration from a General Practitioner’s fo-cus, the forms of the interior architecture develop from the human body. The spinal skeletal system, circulation system, and DNA contribute to devel-opment of design. The core houses reception, nurse station, and lab, and the perimeter houses exam areas, doctors offices, and operations.

The perimeter shell is formed mimicking the rela-tionship of the rib cage to the spine. Two exam rooms, two doctors offices, administration, and the waiting room are located in this area. This is offset from the central core, where operations are directed.

PROGRAM

On the shore of Northern California along the rugged Mendocino coast, the site for this 2,000+ square foot single family vacation house was chosen for its topography and orientation. A three hour drive to San Francisco, the location is nestled between Noyo bay, Jackson State Forest, and MacKerricer State Park in Fort Bragg, CA.

The structure hugs the edge of a cliff; the en-trance nestled by a line of trees, and then the ex-terior view opens to a sweeping panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and sandy beach shore.

Pacific Coast Family Vacation House

The traditional form of a stacked duplex is bro-ken and staggered; the upper level is continuous with the earth, but the lower level is pushed for-ward as it follows the bluff’s gradation. An exterior walkway at multiple heights snakes around these two volumes, featuring a series of interconnected outdoor living spaces including a deck, a variety of pools, and a water slide.

SCHEMATICS

he upper volume is comprised of the private sector, at grade. It features three bedrooms with views with floor to ceiling views of the water, and two bathrooms. The master wing is complete with an ensuite and private pool, which is part of the The children’s wing features a shared bathroom and outdoor space.

UPPER LEVEL

The lower volume is the public sector, closer to the shore. Accessed by a staircase from the grade level, immediate vista is a fireplace in front of sweeping ocean views. Living and Kitchen are open to one another, with the Mobius waterway running beneath the floor leading to the Dining area. Glass panels open to expose the outdoors, leading to a large deck with infinity pool.
