    As the landscape of American innovation continues to evolve, there is a growing need for alternative office typologies. Architects must consider creating flexible spaces for virtual offices and other alternative office models. The newOffice Building seeks to ameliorate challenges faced by young entrepreneuers and small startup companies by providing rentable office space and conference rooms. The heart of the building lies in the central atrium where all occupants may interact. The building seeks to foster community and collaboration amonst its inhabitants .

    Both the external and internal design reflect the merging of two office typologies- an open floor plan with desks at a per diem fee and tradition-al office structure. The buildings unique form acts as its own signage.

    The long and narrow site called for a unique structural system to leverage the stability of two independent but intersecting masses. To allow for the open floor plan concept, the building utilizes structural steel frames and column-less floor plates.

    The Istanbul Water Trade Museum seeks to celebrate and exhibit historical aspects of Istanbuls commercial trade on the water. Inspired by caravansarais, roadside inns that sprouted along the Silk Road and other trade routes, these temporary homes became hubs of informa-tion and cultural exchange. The courtyard-type buildings, shared a pub-lic space where art, music, culture and trade was shared. This museum seeks to promote that same exchange. Highlighted with key public spaces throughout the building, the curved building seeks to attract visi-tors and become an educational forum for all to use.

    By mapping the multitude of cultural institutions in the area around the site, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the an-trepo [warehouse] district exists as a barren plot of land. The recent flux of museums and galleries that have sprouted along Istiklal Cadesi and streets just north of the antre-pos begs for the area to be rede-veloped for cultural purposes.

    Furthermore, the Istanbul Water Trade Museum seeks to promote and engage users through the whole district. By connecting all existing historical and cultural institutions such as the Istanbul Modern, Tophane Kasri, Nusretiye Mosque and Antrepo 5 Museum of Contemporary Art, the new An-trepo Cultural District attempts to reclaim the space for pedestrians. This is done through the introduc-tion of a new plaza, relocation of a main gate directly north of the Museums entrance, and new pathways that weave the site to-gether in a sinuous manner.

    This masterplanning strategy seeks to repurpose existing antre-pos as newly inhabitable space for other museums, restaurants, and music centres.

    The New York City Department of Education is the largest system of public schools in the United States. However, residents in East Harlem over the age of 25 have completed the fewest years of education in the city. This library services the local community and forms an ectosymbiotic relationship with the adjacent school, P.S. 155. The building breaks through the property line and reaches into the school via trussed connections. The school provides the library with a continuous population of users while the library will provide additional classroom space and technological amenities that the school currently lacks.

    With the additional and connection of the East Harlem Public Library to P.S. 155, a much needed reno-vation would be conducted to the wing of the school of which the library connects to. This would in-clude the addition of much needed amenities such as shared library space, new performance space, computer labs that are accessible from the cafeteria and science labs.

    The redevelopment of the Red Hook Houses involved both mas-terplanning of the neighborhood and development of new infill housing. With the introduction of big box stores such as Ikea and Fairway Market, the area has embraced new developments. The masterplanning involves a redesign of existing parks, introduction of new greensways and an elevated park that interlaces through the existing Red Hook Houses. A new tramway runs from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at the eastern edge of Red Hook to the subway station at the western-most edge, thus providing acces-sibility to and throughout the community. The tram runs along the fast axis, while the elevated greenway allows for a slower proces-sion vetween two redeveloped parks flanking the northern and southern points of the cross-shaped renovation zone.

    Located on a lot that spans two extreme elevations, the Audobon Museum utilizes a system of ramps to create accessibility throughout the building. The ramps wrap around the periphery of the building; however, only on the eastern facade, do the ramps jut out to create an undulating pattern overlooking the Audubon Terrace. The unique ramps serve as a mode of circulation as well as gallery space.

    A cafe serves as the uppermost terminus for the ramps. This requires visitors to fully engage in the environments presented on each level and facade.

    Nestled in the Adirondack Mountains, the Adirondack house is designed as a live/ work space for an artist. With a slope of nearly 44, the building seeks to counteract unappealing environmental factors such as strong westerly winds and lack of northern sunlight. The shape of the building engages the site by mirroring the angle of the slope. The shape consists of an aggregation of trapezoidal volumes that are spliced at the tips to scoop natural light into various parts of the home.

    Inspired by the quantity of vending machine snack bags in our studio garbage pail, this installation is created from recycled snack bags and plywood. The lighting fixture utilizes the reflective nature of the metallic interior to illuminate the multi-faceted object through LED lights. The shape of the fixture is based on the molecular structure of mylar. Fac-ets are strategically angeled to produce a intensly lit beam of light that projects through the objects single open face. .

    This site specific installation encourages users to explore the surrounding environment through visual funnels created by its form. The two porous openings on top can be viewed from the mezzanine level. These two openings funnel the users view to-wards one central opening on the first level.

    The pattern on the installation reiterates its purpose. The cut pattern varies from a very porous end in the sections closest to the walkway, to the opaque section that further emphasizes the portal of view.

  • This grasshopper string displays how the connection and panel shapes were derived in Rhinocerus and Grasshopper. The form was explored and tested using Maya.

    Each of the 200 unique, laser-cut panels consists of double lay-ered mylar- a matte white translucent side and a metallic purple side.
