The first in a series of small-scale design proposals, this preliminary spatial study works to address through highly calibrated part-to-whole relationships issues of scale, material, surface, porosity and enclosure while blurring the boundaries between figure and field conditions.

This design proposal for Socrates Sculpture Park, a public park used for the showcasing of local art in the Long Island City neighborhood of Brooklyn, incorporates different means of transportation into the design in order to provide more feasible access. These modes of transportation include vehicular ciruclation, port amenities, a bike terminal, and pedestrian access from Vernon Boulevard and Broadway, all of which are used to drive the formal language of outdoor public spaces and galleries.

The final study in a series of three, this urban intervention proposal for the Brooklyn Tobacco Warehouse provides performance, exhibition and recreational facilities to the growing Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO communities. Relying heavily on the desire to cut access across the site to engender movement to and through the tobacco warehouse, the resulting formal strategy folds itself around the preexisting structure of the warehouse as well as the larger scale cut.

/ yale school of architecture/ architectural design II/ studio critic: jennifer leung/ new haven hostel for itinerant musicians/ winter 2011/ diagrams, plan, section + axonometric drawings, study + final models/ retrospecta 2010-2011 nomination
A hostel as well as a music venue located in the heart of downtown New Haven, this hybrid proposal attempts to reinvent the spatial as well as programmatic standards of both. Conceived of through a reformatting and abuse of the traditional stair, the design for this hostel privileges the public space necessary for a music arena while providing the amenities and privacy required by visiting artists and travelers

Developed alongside nine other collaborators, The New Haven House proposal for the Vlock Building Project of 2011 was conceived as a design that would speak to its environment. Inventive in its formal and spatial qualities yet respectful in its overall composition, The New Haven House achieved a level of impact through simplicity and careful, caluculated design that won both the juries approval as well as that of the client.

/ yale school of architecture/ architectural design iv/ studio critic: joel sanders/ fall 2011/ live-work kunsthalle at the brooklyn navy yard/ diagrams, models + plan, section + perspective drawings
Public architecture is explored through the design of a medium-scale institutional building, an arts center located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The center includes a public exhibition component conceived of as a kunsthalle an art museum that mounts only temporary exhibitionsas well as a private artists residency component. Not serving as a shrine of rare and honorific objects to which the community makes awe- filled pilgrimages, the Kunsthalle functions as an arena of provocation in which audience and discussion are stimulated. In mixing production and exhibition, it serves not as an institution of passive reception but one of active, and necessarily identifiable, intellectual exchange and debate. - Fall 2011 Studio Brief, Keith Krumwiede.Program at the BNY is split into two legs, one side reaching down into the bay designated for the production of art, and the other lifting upwards, reserved for the latters display. The two halves are joined at the theater and the sculpture yard; these spaces, both accessible at grade, are conceived of as the portions of the building in which both production and display occur simultaneously.

/ yale school of architecture/ architectural design iv/ studio critic: alan plattus/ collaborator: brittany brown hayes/ winter 2012/ urban studio project: stamford, connecticut/ diagrams, models + plan, section + perspective drawings
[The goal of] this studio [is to] examine how one represents, analyzes, constructs and projects the future design of an urban site... Urban design is by nature a complex endeavor with immediate as well as long-term effects. Proposals at the city scale involve negotiations between public and private interests; global, regional and local forces and needs; collective and individual expression. - Ed Mitchell, studio brief In order to appropriately address the already existing fabric as well as the nature of the city of Stamford, this design proposal attempts to alleviate fissures in the urban grain locally. Both the downtown and water sites are treated as separate entities; each utilizes similar formal linking strategies to create new public spaces and connective typologies.

A semester-long course devoted to the study of the object of architecture or canonical buildings in its history, the following drawings attempt to analyze them not through the lens of reaction and nostalgia but through a filter of contemporary thought. Moving across history, these studies hope to establish and represent the formal tendencies of some of the most influential buldings of the Renaissance, Baroque and Mannerist periods.

/ yale school of architecture/ drawing projects/ instructor: turner brooks/ winter 2011/ series of measured hand-drawings/ various subjects of study/ graphite on strathmore
This set of drawings, devoted to the spatial mapping of change in objects over time, devotes itself predominantly to three different subjects: snow (as it melts), the human brain (as it develops and decays) and architecture (as it appears). Drawn sequentially over the course of four months, each piece serves as a representative of the compilation as a whole, of the changing tendencies, comforts and crutches of the hand at work.

/ yale school of architecture/ drawing and architectural form/ instructor: victor agran/ fall 2011/ selection of hand-drafted drawings/ graphite on strathmore/ retrospecta 2011-2012
[An examination] of descriptive geometry and perspective through the practice of rigorous constructed architectural drawings, the methods and concepts studied serve as a foundation for the development of drawings that interrogate the relationship between a drawings production and its conceptual objectives. - studio brief, Victor AgranUsing the constraints of the course to provide rigidity, this set of drawings attempt to push the limits of proscriptive drawing techniques. By allowing the drawing to be manufactured solely by virtue of the process and with no predisposition for specific visual outcomes, playful, explorative and bizarre geometries are generated, giving insight into the boundaries as well as potentials of established drafting methods.

The San Diego Tijuana Metropolitan Area is a territory of continuous urban fabric that includes the city and suburbs of San Diego in the US and Tijuana, Playas de Rosarito, and Tecate in Mexico. As the busiest border crossing in the world, this site offers a unique opportunity for Mexico and the US to replace a banal and congested piece of infrastructure with a public work that is a reflection of regional/national identity and civic pride. Could this central piece of infrastructure be the locus for an architectural intervention that reflects the shared aspirations of North America's largest bi-national community; a counter-point to the proposed 'Triple Border Fence' it traverses? How can a gesture of alliance go beyond simply whitewashing a highly contentious political divide and actually improve the user experience? Should this community, in understanding of its unique relationship to the border, assert its connectedness in defiance of a divisive national rhetoric through a public work that offers new opportunities for occupation and political action? Rather than lingering in the realm of utopian illusion, this studio recognizes the continued existence of the border and seeks tactical, speculative, and timely solutions to the critical design problem of the threshold. - Steven Christensen, studio brief. The first half of the design studio, focused on site research and culminating in the compilation of maps and drawings into a book, consists of a heavy focus on the historic and geographic aspects of the San Diego - Tijuana border region. The resulting design project, a border tower devoted predominantly to an inversion of the concept of Duty-Free, is a formal study embodying the intention to redefine the notion of the architectural symbol, reinvent the concept of the border crossing station, and make public the subverted identities of the US-Mexico border. A tower located in no mans land and dedicated predominantly to office space to be filled by the adjacent publics, the suggestive nature of this megastructure calls into question the communicative aspects of the skyscraper as well as the potential for buildings to both sublimate as well as promote the more sinister characteristics of a region.

k i n d e r T A N K, is a Chicago-based, not-for-profit coalition of educators and concerned citizens who believe the contemporary approach to education is wrongheaded and only delays our responsibilities to the present. Rather than working from a distancethat is, rather than investing now in a future that is always distant, with an attitude towards early education that assumes an yet-unconsummated future, with hopes that the children of today will someday benefit the society of tomorrow, kinderTANK promises invest and engage children in the present as fully active participants of society and turn their minds towards the problems of today. Society is not made up of children and adults. There is no such thing as a child, simply full members of society who have lived on this earth for fewer or greater years than others. Younger members may possess less knowledge of the world, but may also suffer less from the desensitization that comes with age. Members of society under the age of 10 represent the largest yet-untapped think tank in modern society. The goal of kinderTANK is to turn these young minds toward the so-called adult issues of the day. - studio brief, Rosalyne Shieh
This proposal organizes program according to its level of integration and interaction with active members of the public. While some of the spaces consist of private classrooms and enclosed spaces of learning, others are designed to espouse more open, fluid methods of education, communication, and discovery. Not a building shackled to the spatial tropes of the generic institution, the kinderTANK attempts to achieve sufficient irregularity and malleability so as to continue to provide inventive methods of learning for decades to come.
