Research on Disappearing Urban Environments and Remediation Ecologies Geographic Information Systems, Rhiho, Grasshopper, Cinema 4d, Xfrog, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator
World Takes is a study of the decline of the small American city of Trenton, New Jersey. Urban formations that were generated by industry and the infrastructural necessities of density are currently being redefined by the dissipation of these forces. The new forces that are shaping the environment are enabled by absence and dereliction. A transgressive ecology is seeking a natural equilibrium within the augmented environment. World Takes is an architectural intervention that attempts to mediate and promote this ecologi-cal equilibrium within the post-industrial urban environment.
If capital is no longer the main generator for urban organization, what alterna-tive force will organize urban formations? The current dominant force that is exerted on the urban environment is transgressive nature. This seeks to envelop and dismantle the derelict structures. The intervention is a structural membrane that facilitates the dissolution of the feral structures while promot-ing these emergent formations within the urban habitat. The establishment of this new urban ecology relieves stresses on the environment and the inhabit-ants that were created by industrial development.

More technically, the idea is that despite the fact that at any one time an evolved form is realized in individual organisms, the population not the individual is the matrix for the production of form.

Creating Environmental Responsive Structures by Implementing Shape Memory Polymers _ Spring 2011
Critics: Brian Lonsway Patrick Mather Sinead Mac Namara
Shape Memory Polymer Research & Production, Digital Anylisis & extrapolation | CATIA, ANSYS, Rhino, Grashopper, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Actuating Physical Model
By basing an architectural assembly on a material that responds to heat, a structure can be created that responds to heat. This is done through control of the materials stress/strain properties in relation to temperature. By using a shape memory polymer, a temperature related elastomeric deformation under a load can be engineered as a material muscle. The reaction is con-trolled within a region to produce a component that is arrayed to extrapolate, orient, and amplify the range of movement. By varying the components patterning, the resulting form of the structural array can articulate to have an environmentally performative effect. The movement of a heat responsive structure can change spatial relations to create dynamic shading or ven-tilation. Moreover, the implementation of a stimuli responsive martial gives the opportunity to create a self-powered and self-regulating structure. This research was done through the production of the shape memory polymer in the biomaterials laboratory. Heat actuated physical models were built to vali-date a proof of concept which was then extrapolated to the scale of habita-tion through digital simulation.

E_FLUX Tower _ Fall 2008
Research Internship under P. Michael Pelken
Integrated Wind Turbine Research, Modeling and FabricationRhino, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Computer Fluid Dynamic Analysis, Wind Tunnel Prototype
These images for the E_FLUX Tower were created while assisting P. Michael Pelken with his research in integrated wind turbine technologies. Working together with Professor Dr. Thong Dang and Andrew Wells in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the project focused on developing architectural and sustainable potentials of forms optimized by the principles of fluid dynamics. This was done through digital modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis along with the fabrication of a physical model and pending wind tunnel testing.
The scale of P. Michael Pelken's work applies from a street lamp to a high-rise building. The airfoil increases pressure exerting more force on the tur-bine. The turbine in return consumes the force, dissipating the power of the wind. Refining a form that optimizes these principles creates an opportunity to yield performance and a new building typology.

W 56 Street Proposal _ Summer 2008
Archi-tectonics: InternshipPrincipal : Winka Dubbledam
Zoning analysis, FAR analysis, Massing StudyRhino, 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator
This work was done as an intern under Winka Dubbeldam and Thomas Bar-ry for a concept proposal for a luxury apartment building on West 56th Street in New York City. The extent of this work transferred zoning analysis into its architectural potential. The design began with the constraints of street wall, front and rear setbacks, and sky exposure plane. Another main constraint was the percentage of balconies on the facade. The focus of the design was to morph the maximized volume defined by the zoning boundaries to elevate FAR by perforating the building envelope and floor plates.
This allowed the elevation of the living spaces and desirable apartments. The main concern with this approach was the core positioning and usable floor space constrained by the sky exposure plane. The redistribution of FAR resulted in a five story lobby that could be programmed with building ameni-ties and retail.

Fabrication Feasibility Study, Detailing StudyRhino, Maya, CATIA, Illustrator
The renovation of a brownstone on West 24th Street in New York City result-ed in a parametric design of the faade. Because of the complexity, the office was working with an automotive fabricator to build a milled wood faade. Trying to keep faithful to the existing shape, we had to figure out how to insert operable windows and doors into the form. Projecting the details of the shape in order to find out how the detailing would impact the assemblage.

Detailing Form for Fabrication Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator
My contribution in the design for the Shanghai location of the PORTS 1961 store focused on the fabrication and the design development drawings of the circumscribing armature. The morphology of this armature mediates existing spatial characteristics with the programmatic necessities of seating and product display. The armature was digitally fabricated, emulating a local ship-building tradition that involved structural rib frames and horizontal plank patterning.

SOHO Grand Salon Instillation _ Summer 2010
Archi-tectonics: InternshipPrincipal : Winka Dubbledam
Proposal for installation Rhino, Grasshopper, 3D Studio Max, PhotoShop
This is work produced for an initial proposal request for an installation in the cages at the SOHO Grand Hotels lounge. The cages were transformed into lanterns by creating floating entities that embody and redistribute light emit-ting from the cages base. This effect can be achieved by the suspension and orientation of holographic film, treated glass, or treated acrylic.

This studio focused on creating a permanent place of worship for the gay and lesbian Congregation Beth Simchat Torah. The congregation needs a site that can house both the religious and social necessities of the commu-nity. The challenge of this project was to insert all of the programmatic and cultural necessities into an infill slot on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Because of the compression of the infill sight, a way to liberate the exterior force is to open the building through vertical integration achieved by a light shaft that runs along the northern perimeter of the building. The program is composed and filtered by two interlocking screens that separate and inte-grate the sacred and community spaces.
The patterning of the screens is achieved through varying apertures that are organized through a random generator subjugated through attractors of pro-grammatic necessities. Walls, windows, and door location influence the size of apertures within the randomized field. Moreover, the mediation of light and shadow alter the interior space throughout the course of the day and the year.
The patterning changes as the light changes throughout the course of the day; at dusk the only direct natural light perforating the building is in the sanctuary where the light progresses across the sanctuary towards the arch and exits through the skylight towards Jerusalem.

This project experiments with the idea of modularity and design. This system is developed through an accumulation of modular units derived from the average arm span from the human physique. This dimension was rotated and arrayed on a field where it was broken apart through its overlapping segments. The pattern was reduced to three distinct forms, which were reflected and rotated into a base configuration that could be arrayed into a structure system through the act of transposition. The possibilities of this modular unit are flexible and can be adapted to address any programmatic or environmental needs by interchanging the fill within the structural frame.
This modular concept was applied to the programmatic needs of an exami-nation room. This was done through addressing the needs of natural lighting, public/private vision, stack ventilation and the technological needs of the space. These elements, combined with the narrative path for the doctor, nurse, and a patient, were accommodated by this space. This project is a formal experiment, applying 2-D graphic geometries that were used to struc-ture an ergonomic framework for a spatial distribution of a 3-D environment. The goal is to organize the space to be in and out of reach.

Thumos _ Spring 2007

Thumos is an Ancient Greek word expressing the concept of spiritedness, indicating a physical association with breath or blood. The word is also used to express the human desire for recognition.
Architecture through the ages has strived to express and wanted to embody the spiritedness of humankind, yet has been limited by requirements of both function and buildability. With breakthroughs of technology, we are finally beginning to liberate our structures, free our imaginations. At the heart of this project is something of the human emotion, boxed in to the point of eruption. Thumos.
The thumos is that part of the soul in between the logos and the epithumiai, in between the call toward the invisible, the divine, and the needs of the body and its passions and desires, that has to make choices in favor of one or the other, and thus lead the soul as a whole to war or peace.
Bulgarian artist Valkova Stoicheva began her piece titled Eruption with four porcelain cubes that she distorted to simulate an eruption. We considered this notion of the formalized box that could no longer maintain its shape because of the forces acting in it. Our attempt to translate this reaction into structural form is at the same time an attempt to capture thumos in physical form.
In studying the forces acting upon the object, we utilized Rhino software to recreate the explosion in digital form. Analyzing the movement of the explo-sion across a series of 192 points along the explosion edge from time = 0 to time = 4, we were able to extract equations indicating the spatial forces act-ing upon the object. We then projected the data set to time = 8, and used the resulting equations in the process of creating the new form. We applied a portion of these equations to a line and gave it a time progression similar to the original object.
The resulting forces of an eruption are varying and random, acting in many directions. In the same way our created object as built structure can be considered in multiple positions. We have chosen to investigate its use as a canopy.

Wallice _ Summer 2009
Critic: Clare Olsen
Partners: L. Brody Nevel Brendan G. Rose
Digital Design and Fabrication, InstallationRhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, Wood, Metal, and Mylar Model
This installation is an exercise in the tension between digital modeling and fabrication. It generates a design through computational processes and the impact fabrication methods have on that design. The resultant structure is a product of this tension.
The structure is an wooden diagrid with a six degree camber that created the barrel vaulted skeletal geometry. Some of the frames are backed with metal pots that can hold plantings. Attached to this grid are scales of mylar. The morphology of the scales is determined by their position on the grid. The po-sition of the grid alters the width of the base and the length of the stem and wisp. The detentions of these features were then translated to a two-dimen-sional template and labeled for fabrication on the laser cutter. The scales were than fixed to a diagrid cell that was bolted together to form an arch.
The wall has an imbedded structural system of a wall and the properties of a lattice. It is a finite structure that can order a secondary of infinite possibilities. The potential of this Wallice is the variations that the skins can achieve to ac-commodate different performative orientations.

This installation was done as a final image for the Coding : Drawing course. It was the creation of an image through computational processes that cumulated in a projected installation that filtered the image into inhabitable layers. The coded image was generated by a system composed of a field of articulated canopies erected by their proximity to particles within that field. Two sets of particles were set into motion with gravity to one another and areas within the field, and each canopy blossoms to enclose the activity within the field. The form is determined by the position of these particles at any given time.
The viewer is drawn into the image through the constructed layering of in-formation. Dueling projectors combine two images onto a piece of Plexiglas. This intertwined image is detangled by mesh screening to create an environ-ment where the viewer can analyze each system and interact with it.

Brand Instance, Agriculture Study, Operable Structure Geographic Information Systems, Rhiho, Gtasshopper, Cinema 4d, Xpresso, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Actuating Physical Model
This a prototype to establish a presence for a slow food network. The mor-phology of the menu and restaurant space is defined by a seasonal menu determined by ingredients procured from an existing transportation system from local organic farms.
This instance offers an opportunity to define space through the movement of opening. It not only utilizes the binary state of open and closed as a signifier but also becomes a malleable space that can generate a multitude of forms and spaces determined by the repetition of a constrained articulation.
Composed of two layers, the interior is actuated by a cable system driving it to displace the exterior offset to accommodate a vertical progression from each lateral direction. The articulation of the movement is regulated as an av-erage between the two end points to allow a variation in aperture in response to environmental conditions.
The building is a terminal to the slow food network and placing it adjacent to the Centro bus terminal merges the flow of both. The structure can expand and contract to create shelter and to augment circulation. The reactive articulation of the form is determined to mediate the interaction of these two networks.

Gestural Solar Topography _ Spring 2008
Critics: Terrance Goode Kevin Lair
Modular Medical Facility Rhino, Explicit History, 3D Studio Max, Mental Ray, Cinema 4D, PhotoShop, Illustrator, AutoCad
The program of this structure is a clinic that will give a certain level of care and rehabilitation to its visitors. It is a self sustaining low-tech facility for remote insertions, designed to capture natural ventilation and solar exposure. The form of the building is a modular response to parametric environmental factors. The roof system is designed to optimize the placement of Photo Vol-taic panels and to collect water into a cistern through the structural columns. The offset from the topography creates raised platforms that offer shade to travelers and the ability for construction on unsettled terrain and flood plains.
The topography data gave values for the 8x8 floor plate and column sys-tem. The solar data generated two parabolic forms: a convex and concave roof surface from a composite of an annual trajectory of the sun through its azimuth and altitude. The site specific forms can be customly mass fab-ricated from plywood with computer regulated mitered joints. Moreover, these surfaces act as airfoils and allow them to be refitted and used as wind scoops for the walls and roofs to direct air in and out of the building.
The initial design is a derivative of the topography and solar orientation. The second derivative is the influence of programmatic necessity. This prototype exhibits the tension between the initial optimization and the programmatic distortion.

Hualos
Hualos is any stone transparent like glass. The name invokes materials produced by the site.
The parameters of this project were defined by the G2 competition for the Venice Lagoon Park. The site, Sacca San Mattia, is an island created by canal system dredging. The field is a composite of polluted silt and waste materials from the Murano glass factories. The process of fusing contami-nated silt and glass waste produces an inert substance with a range of ceramic to glass-like qualities. The sites tainted elemental properties provide the opportunity to transform Sacca San Mattia into a recreational park made of ceramic and glass that serves as a gateway to the Venice Lagoon territory.
The organizational patterning of the park was derived algorithmically through spatial relationships between sampled topographic values. Volumes scaled through a proportionate derivative of the algorithm resulted in varying field densities that created a structural framework for developing the site. Layer-ing the site patterning created a dynamic scalable fracturing that accommo-dates function.
Each nested derivative's new scale accommodates a new mode and func-tion. Fields evolve into buildings. Buildings evolve into rooms. Rooms evolve into apertures. Apertures evolve into building details. The iterative process thus creates an inhabitable form derived by a fractal system with an infinitely dynamic framework.
