Urban_Babylon_Village Spring 2019_Arch 2010_Instructor: Jorge PizarroThe notion of the house, as defi ned for this project, is a space of intimacy and personal space. The space of the house is one where the inhabitants know it like the back of their hand, this intimacy being facilitated by time. A space that truly speaks to this impression is that of the Chinese Urban Village, Brazillian Favela, and Constant’s New Babylon. These spaces are ones designed and devel-oped by time, as peoples want and needs change they simply design and create the spaces they need. This creating diff erent spaces at diff erent scales that engage and interact with one another in terms of their diff erent levels of intimacy. This resulting in their visual complexity, that by Savanah Theory, is the most accurate space we feel the sense of home in. In order, to design the sense that these spaces evoke outside the bounds of time, a process of intuition based on the soul of the precedence as well as pre-defi ned percentages for the 4 levels of intimacy was then followed by post logic processing. This post rationalization was represented many times on many iterations to achieve an ideal possibility.

Homo_Luden_Housing Spring 2019_Arch 2020_Instructor: Jorge PizarroThe Field (Horizontal):As technology expands further and free’s society from the task we wish not to do, the homo sapien will be able to evolve into the homo luden. To have a space made for play, a space for exploration, and most importantly a space which allows the user (reguarless of age and mental freedom) to be able to repurpose it as they wish.The Play Set (Individual):The Homo Luden free of work is able to spend they’re time exploring and manipulating the enviroment as they see fi t. They’re time can be spend as they want, playing and creating new spaces when ever and however they want. Thats why their house is be manipulate and mlleable, like a playset.Ludic Stairs (Vertical):Play is older than culture, for culture, however inadequately defi ned, always presupposes human society, and animals have not waited for man to teach them their playing. The act of play is what grounds society, and it will be what allows society and man to evolve past the sapien state. A society defi ned by work is stagnant, to be the wage laboerer is restrictive. That is why within the next society of the homo luden we are free to go as we wish and explore/repurpose our space as we wish.

Ostenda_Illuminata Summer 2018 (onGoing)_Junior Designer_H.D.:Mona El Khafi fA critical, unresolved problem for Smart Cities is bridging data and analytics with humane, creative action in the constructed environment. We investigate how data-responsive urban architectures can function as tools of communicative action, increasing ur-ban imageability and socio-political (not only techno-infrastructural) responses to urban environmental challenges. We propose a replicable, networkable streetscape system - Ostenda [revealing] illuminata [illuminating], - that re-centers control over the urban environment toward the community, rather than as part of an externalized, invading system. through a process that derived from C.C.U.S. 2: Ostenda illuminata is a technological species equipped with sensors that helps communities understand environmen-tal conditions that we can’t see or sense with our own fi ve senses. Ostenda illuminata collects these data and reveals them locally as well as on a web map, where it is produced in real time. It also serves as a smart light and illuminates paths as humans ap-proach. This species serves as a social attractor in public space, using communicative and aesthetic properties to attract humans. When night falls, the blossoms open and communicate environmental knowledge. This plant is a real companion, an extension of our senses and a bridge between the environment and us. In further development Ostenda illuminata, it is also sustainable, powered by solar panels that collect energy during the day and it will only shed light when people approach. The design of Ostenda illuminata and the material strategies within it will enhance the visibility and fl exibility of the light it produces. Using plexiglass and LED bulbs, the plant will produce light more sustainably through applied material strategies and transformations compared to a normal street light that is switched on the whole night whether someone comes by or not.

New_Strand_Block Fall 2019_NOMA National Competition_Collaborator: Omer GorashiNew-Strand Block is the intersection of dwelling, community and greenspace within Brooklyn. It stands on the ideals of resistance to the changing tides of urban development in Brooklyn, within it’s ever-tightening grid. The fi rst thing we noticed within the site was the home belonging to an elderly woman who has stood her ground against developers that have bought out the rest of the block . Rather than trying to shun or block her off from the project, we followed her footsteps in defying the New York grid, then angled our project towards her home. in a motion to embrace and reinforce her resistance, like two hands cushioning her home within the block. While researching and visiting the site, we observed outdoor activity such as children playing in the street, store owners making conversation on the sidewalk and grandparents watching from their porches. So, we made sure that New strand Block responded to this existing activity and culture by encouraging its strong sense of community, and providing a larger space for these interactions to take place. And we can identify this other collective resistance through together-ness. which also preserves an idea of collective resistance through togetherness. The exterior community spaces provide a larger space for these interactions to take place, and they are also important to this project as they respond to the lack of nearby parks by integrating greenspace elements, with the Central Plaza space intended for the community at large and The terraces on each fl oor open to New Strand residents. Further spaces for the community include the collective indoor areas that serve as catalysts for community activities and events. The overall master plan is defi ned by three housing typologies, collective green terraces, larger community hubs on each level and an open park space in the central ground area. The three typologies include units for 1-2 residents, families,and the elderly/residents that require assistance. These housing typologies are designed to meet the standards of living, yet the minimal nature of the units encourages residents to step out of their homes and engage one another . The balconies within the assisted living units allows easier access to the outside while upholding the notion of vigilance over one’s community consistent with Jane Jacob’s theory of having “eyes on the street.” It allows for people to actual begin to see each other rather than just watch over another, whether these connections are made from terrace to ground, balcony to ground, or all three.
