A New Folk Art MuseumCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The project objective is to create a new home
for the American Folk Art Museum, previously
located in midtown Manhattan. The new
facility will occupy the old Tobacco Warehouse
in DUMBO, which is part of the Fulton Ferry
Historic District and has been a ruin for many
years.
Folk Artists do not participate in the self-conscious tradition of art-making, and many of the
pieces were created in private, intimate settings, never meant to be seen by anyone outside of the
household. By placing these objects in the context of a museum, we are changing the relationship
between the creators and viewers.
By creating an interior space that reflects the original context of the artists’ works, both public and
private, visitors are reminded to consider what it means to be looking at these objects.
Linear cutout windows lead visitors through the rooms of the museum, and create strategic vantage
points for viewing works of art and other visitors.

The Pratt Institute Library ReimaginedCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The Pratt Library Reimagined was a
group project. Other members include:
Hsin Ying Chan, Andria Ihnatowycz,
Regina Macaraeg, and Vicky Mo. The purpose of this project is to reimagine the
existing Pratt Library and develop ways in which
current library conditions and the overall user
experience can be improved to better serve
the Pratt community and correspond with the
evolving uses of libraries today.
The concept is to create a community “core” in
the library through people-centered activities
and programming, while utilizing technology to
provide an enhanced user experience.
These programs and activities revolve around
the stairs, which serve as the main mode of
vertical circulation, further emphasizing the idea
of a central hub that fosters a culture of sharing
and collaboration among the Pratt community.
“The library is the only centralized location where new and
emerging information technologies can be combined with
traditional knowledge resources in a user-focused, service-rich
environment that supports today’s social and educational
patterns of learning, teaching, and research. Whereas the Internet
has tended to isolate people, the library, as a physical place, has
done just the opposite.”
-Geoffrey T. Freeman, AIA
10
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENTA major problem at Pratt is the lack of a
central social space. The Indoor Park invites
users to relax, socialize, or work short term
in a casual environment. With a range of
seating options and gathering spaces, the
Indoor Park can accommodate a variety
of user types and activities and serves as a
central social zone.
11
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
To develop a stronger emphasis on art and
design, we intend to celebrate student work
through the placement of exhibition spaces
in highly visible areas of the library, particularly
in the “community core” around the stairs and
throughout the Indoor Park on the main level.
The improved visibility and showcasing of
student work brings value to their creative
endeavors while also engaging, energizing, and
inspiring all members of the Pratt community.
12
NEW TECHNOLOGYTo meet the needs of an increasingly
technology literate student body,
we conceptualized an advanced
operating system designed to enhance
user experience. The operating system
is used throughout the Library, and
is accessible both in and out of the
building on personal devices. The user
therefore has a more efficient and
resourceful experience with the library,
with support pre-visit, during visit, and
post-visit to the library. Users encounter the operating
system upon entry to the library,
where they may specify what
they are looking for and recieve a
personalized guide for their visit.
The operating system is also active in “work pods” throughout
the reading sectiions of the library. Users can access their
personal accounts on the system to view their saved media
and resources. Users may also share information with others
in different pods.

ATTRACTIONS
A globe, a car, a radio, a bag of coffee, a tent,
a snow globe, and a letter. Seven seemingly
random objects become a meaningful, nostalgia-
filled experience within this traveling exhibition.
Hit the Road Jack takes us back in time, recalling
family vacations and youthful adventures,
favorite songs, first cars. These trips are a kind of
national memory; their rich history has become
an important theme in American popular culture
and literature. A road trip is not merely a journey
in a car, but a national tradition.
The exhibition is divided in three zones:
Planning, On the Road, and Destination,
so visitors will feel they are on the path of a
classic American road trip.
Hit the Road was a group project.
Other members include: Danielle Covatta.

inserted at keyholes throughout
the exhibit, allowing users to save
selections of playlists, games, food,
camping tips, etc.
The keys contain a sensor that reads
the touchscreen information on
Near Field Communication tags
embedded within the kiosks.
Touchscreens allow users to view
additional information about
each exhibit section. Topics
include: literature, food, camping,
motels, souvenirs, and roadside
attractions.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Written by Samuel Bowles in 1865, Across the Continent is arguably the first American road trip book. There have been countless road trips in literature since then.

INTERSTATE HIGHWAY
SYSTEMThe greatest change to the American road trip was the start, and subsequent expansion, of the Interstate Highway System. The higher speeds and controlled access nature of the Interstate allowed for greater distances to be traveled in less time and with improved safety as highways became divided.

SOUNDS OF THE ROAD
IN CARENTERTAINMENT
MUSICWhether you’re driving across the country or just down the road, it’s always a brilliant plan to have some carefully selected tunes to make the trip go down smoothly.
From family sing-a-longs to top 40 hits, music has always been a popular form of entertainment on road trips.
GAMESOn long trips, car games are a great way to pass the time. From travel bingo to the liscence plate game, car games have been popular since the mid-20th century.
Today many carsalso have entertainment systems, allowing passengers to watch TV or play video games to pass the time.

Exhibition: Beyond the PondCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Beyond the Pond was a group project.
Other members include: Joseph Bova
and Sierra Holland.
Beyond the Pond is a children’s exhibit
based on the children’s book, Beyond the
Pond, by Joseph Kuefler
Each child thrives and learns in different ways. Beyond the Pond has activities for children of all dispositions and learning styles. Children can jump on lily pads to create music, work together to raise a sail, make digital watercolors and finger paintings, and make spooky shadows in artist Philip Worthington’s traveling art installation Shadow Monsters.
Play, learn, explore, and dive headfirst into an exciting journey!
Travel through the depths, the sunken shipwrecks, the forests
and caves, and see that even places you see every day can be
extraordinary.
Beyond the Pond takes you on an unforgettable journey
through another world, all in your own backyard.

DIFFA: Dining by DesignTRANSCENDING DARKNESS
DIFFA was a group project.
Other members include: Raleene Cabrera,
Regina Macaraeg, and Ana Vasquez.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” - Desmond Tutu
“We all hope. It’s what keeps us alive.” - David Mamet
DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting
AIDS) raises awareness and grants funds to
organizations that provide treatment, direct
care services, preventive education programs
and advocacy for individuals impacted by HIV/
AIDS.
While HIV/AIDS remains a serious issue, we
saw hope in the efforts of organizations like
DIFFA who are working to fight the epidemic.
The intent of our design was to evoke an uplifting
experience through the use of a light sculpture
as a focal point for viewing and reflection. The
light sculpture is comprised of hanging triangles,
referencing the Silence = Death symbol. The
number of triangles represents the 36.9 million
individuals who are living with HIV/AIDS.
STUDY MODEL
25
COMPLETED INSTALLATION
As you move from the bottom to the top, the triangles go from dense to sparse, eventually disappearing. This
representa the hope that the number of those affected by HIV/AIDS will continue to decrease.

Alone Together: A Pillow Concept
Over 8 million people inhabit New York City’s 305 square
miles, which makes it the most densely populated city in the
U.S. We share spaces to save room, but that doesn’t mean we
have to sacrifice personal space.
The Alone Together pillow is a multi-use object for people
living in close quarters to share while maintaining their
personal boundaries and privacy.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
The pillow can be used several ways in one of New York city’s micro
apartments: it can be a floor pillow, or it can take the place of a
traditional sofa. The pillow is modular, so multiples of it can be used
for larger seating areas.

A Residential ApartmentCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The clients are a family of three: two parents
and their four year old daughter.
The apartment is located on the 2nd floor of
173 Perry Street, in the West Village, and its large
windows pose a unique privacy problem. The
West and South faces of the building are visible
to pedestrians walking below and residents
in adjacent buildings. The question becomes:
how does one create privacy without
compromising the spectacular views?

DININGCONCEPT DIAGRAM
The solution is movable screens with
customizable privacy through layering.
A single layer filters light but does not obscure
views. With each new layer added, more
privacy and darkness is possible.
The screens may be pushed away entirely for
total visibility, or all layered at once for total
privacy

A Live/Work LoftCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The client for this project is a fashion
photographer in her early 30s. She lives alone,
travels often, and is rarely home. She does not
cook or entertain, but has a large collection of
clothing and accessories. She wants her home
to feel like a sanctuary from her busy life.
The project’s inspiration comes from Issey
Miyake’s A Piece of Cloth (A.P.O.C.) collection.
The garment comes as a single piece of
material, from which the clothing is cut out.
Because of the patented non-fraying fabric,
the garment can be cut any which way,
allowing for a level of complete customization.
Freestanding furniture units act as space
dividers. Desks, beds, wardrobes, and
bookshelves are cut out of the units,
taking the place of conventional walls
and furniture.

An Annex for the Noguchi MuseumCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC PRIVATE
Isamu Noguchi designed the Prismatic Table
for the Aluminum Company of America
(Alcoa) in 1957. It was the last piece of furniture
he designed in a long career of art and design.
Tasked with designing a hypothetical annex for
the Noguchi Museum (currently in Queens,
NY), I took formal inspiration from this small
table.
A pattern of holes in sheet aluminum form
the majority of partitions in the space. Where
the program requires privacy, the partitions
are solid. Where the program is public, such
as exhibition space, the partitions are barely
screens.

A Room for Ironing
ELEVATION 1
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
What would make the perfect room for
ironing, and only ironing?
Wrinkled walls!
The wrinkled walls are firm, but have a
soft padded surface, so not only do they
inspire ironing, but they can actually be
used as a surface on which to iron. There
are two more traditional ironing “tables”
on either side of the room as well.
