  • Ascending Park Located on Elmwood Ave in Buffalo,NY, this mixed-use housing complex incorporates a vertical open air park. Certain characteristics from each program were compared and mixed to create a hybrid type program. The park expands and contracts in certain areas to allow for different activities. The park also spreads horizontally onto the void spaces in the apartments. Trees and greenery are placed in areas of the park. The apartments are narrow and long, with the length depending on the apartment type. All apartments are either type A or type B. The two and three bedroom units have stairs that are cut away and manipulated to create a living stair, making them occupiable living spaces. Mixed-Use Hosing Complex

    Rainwater Collection ChannelA channel for rainwater collection is integrated into the ramp system. It follows

    the inner curve of the ramp and is brought down to a cistern in the basement. The water is then used to water the trees and plants in the park.

    Green SpacesA public park is wrapped up the building in an open-air ramp system. The

    park contains various types of trees and plants. Every roof that is exposed is a green roof which creates a very sustainable system.

    Form Diagram

    The market office proposal located in Pittsburgh, PA in the strip district incorporates a skin that addresses sustainability, privacy, program, and entries. This skin consists of diagonally wrapped strips that change in size and extrude at different depths off the facade. The office and market are visually connected by a large open atrium in the middle of the space. The office floor plates are manipulated to allow for overlooking spaces within the office. The strips around the facade narrow around the public space to allow more light in while keeping privacy in the office. Market-Office Proposal

  • Unrestricted Garden The addition to the historic Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens (BECBG) located in Olmstead Park, uses a bridge like suspension structure to create an space unrestricted by columns. The structure was designed to allow for massive spans with no columns. The form follows the existing structure and the bands shift to create smaller spaces within the large space for other programs such as a small cafe, classrooms, etc. A space for events such as weddings needed to be incorporated into the space.

  • Urban Explorations The city of Tokyo, Japan was explored during a nine week summer program. Multiple areas of the city were observed by placing yourself within the city. The pedestrian flow and lack of flow was studied and abstracted into diagrams. This idea was then pushed into the future by 15O years. A futuristic sidewalk was conceptually developed to track the specific flow patterns of the pedestrians of Tokyo. This flow tracking was displayed on the sidewalk and could be manipulated to do various different things. Being placed in the city as an actual Tokyo pedestrian was an incredible way to observe the city. Tokyo Study Abroad

    A Tracking SidewalkPeople on the

    sidewalk would be tracked using a line, following

    behind them.

    The line would change in

    thickness based on speed and

    stoppages.

    With the sidewalk being used everyday by millions, it can start to become an interactive piece that has multiple purposes. In the future of Tokyo, the sidewalk would become a tracker. A machine at your feet that tracks, records, and displays data. Lines will be projected out from behind the pedestrian, tracking their direct path, their speed, and their stoppages. As the person moves on, the line further behind them would start to fade away and be overlapped with other pedestrians. However, their path would still be in the system and accessible at any point.

    Density [24 people per sq. M.]

    Where Are My Friends?This interactive sidewalk can be used for various other purposes. For instance, using a smart phone or device, you can input your friends phone number into your phone and their path will be displayed in front of your feet. The path will show where your friend slowed down, which streets they took, and places they stopped.

    Measured TrajectoryThis staggered path of pedestrian movement was measured by taking a series of photographs every 2 mutes for an hour and a half. These photos were taken in relation to the straight yellow line that follows the sidewalk that is unique to the city of Tokyo. The photos are then compiled in a contin-uous drawing and points are connected to show different relations.

    These series of points in then converted into a model. A spine like structure was designed to show the relation of the point. Faceted paper is then placed inside the spine connecting at the points. A series of lines is projected onto the paper to connect certain points.

    Futuristic CityTaking the studies of pedestrian flow, a futuristic conceptual design of a tracking sidewalk is developed. This sidewalk can act as a GPS, a social network, and a warning for obstructions.

    Can We Talk?With a world wrapped in social media, the sidewalk becomes a social network at your feet. Each person can program their line to be a certain color based on certain meanings. For instance, a green colored line would be someone who is not in a particular rush and is open for conversation, or advertisements for shops and restaurants. A red line would be programed for people who are in a hurry to get someplace, or do not want to be interrupted by people or advertisements. The normal blue colored line would be neutral.

    Sumimasen, Youre in my Way.Typically in all busy cities, Tokyo included, people are always sidestepping to avoid other pedestrians or obstacles. This sidewalk system allows a way around that. When some ones path is in the way of another, the floor will slightly vibrate to notify that person. Then, an alternate route will be displayed in front of that person. This would be used for other obstacles such as traffic cones, construction, or large groups of people. The sidewalk will predict the paths of others and allow for alternate path for the incoming pedestrian.

    A vibration will occur at your feet and direct you on

    another path to avoid collision.

    A line will appear to notify you of an

    obstruction up ahead.

  • Living Wall The Living Wall is a group project constructed in the Griffis Sculpture Park in Elicottville, NY. It is a built structure that includes sleeping spaces for at least 3 people. It also incorporate an entry and openings that interact with the project next to it. The project started with a 6x6x8 cube that was manipulat-ed with only two massing shifts. Construction drawings were made that included the total weight of the project, including nails and bolts. The structure was built using 2x4s for the framing and plywood for the cladding. The amount of needed materials was figured out and charted. All the projects were assembled in a linear line to form a small community. Each project was built in modules and then assembled on site. The transportation to the site was also considered in the design and was to be addressed. Built Occupiable Wall

    Axonometric drawings were made for a masonry construction building, and a steel construction building. The drawings were constructed from the real construction plans, sections, and details of each building. The buildings studied were the Croffead House, by Clark and Menefee Architects for masonry, and the Kitsap County Administration Building by Miller Hull Architects for steel construction.

  • Physical model level by level progression

    Stacked Space The library proposal for the downtown medical campus of the University at Buffalo incorporates books, reading spaces, a cybrary, study carrels, exterior green spaces, and open outdoor terraces. Each level has a different floor profile allowing for either covered spaces below, or overlooking onto the floor bellow. The building consists of three towers, one for books, one for reading, and one for the cybrary. These towers each have their own elevator and are separated by exterior void spaces on the lower levels. The towers are then connected on the upper levels by median spaces that serve as space for both programs. There is a large green space on the second level with a grand exterior stair entry.University at Buffalo Medical Library
