CYBERNETIC ASSEMBLAGESCyborg as an idea and image has informed much of the process where new nature, transformation and time are central themes. Through exploitation of cyborg vocabulary such as plug-ins, prosthetics, new skins and add-ons an architectural Cyborg is developed.

The 4 dance spaces are conceived as organic chambers or organs, for organic activity of the body. These spaces are connected by a ceremonial staircase of machine character – a prosthetic device much like the retrofitted fire escape stairs on buildings from 19th century. Each dance space / organ is shaped to cater to each unique dance style in terms of size, interior finishes and relationship to the site.

The Dance Center captures and expresses cyborg nature of the surrounding buildings with their mechanical equipment ‘plugins’, escape staircase ‘prosthetics’ and curtain wall ‘new skins’ – as a Cyborg in a neighborhood of Cyborgs. The massing of the building is determined by 2 goals: free up the ground plane and maximize sunlight exposure. Most of the mass is placed at the top of the building, touching the ground lightly at street level. The cantilevered mass is then carved to allow sunlight to penetrate deep under the building. The resulting open space is turned into an urban plaza and outdoor garden for the community. The paving of the plaza is seen as new urban skin which not only covers the plaza but also the blank wall of the neighboring building to south as well as the south facade of the Dance Center.

ARTIST GALLERY & RESIDENCEThe project is a space problem that focuses on modulation of space, amplification of light, resolution of scale, fulfillment of proportion, purpose of structure, and authenticity of material. The interior spaces extend and integrate the exterior spaces, in a zigzagging layout. The front facade is a sculptural formal street wall, while the rear opens up to the garden, blurring the boundary between building and landscape. Interstitial spaces are articulated with warped surfaces to heighten a sense of motion and spatial exchange, forming small atriums throughout the building.

WARMING HUTAgenda // The focus of the project was the generation and realization of smooth concrete forms through the implementation of curvilinear formwork. Various methods of conceiving and creating form work were studied to maximize both efficiency and effect. Digital modeling and fabrication method is emphasized, researched and implemented.

Concept // The warming hut was conceived an igloo archetype, which was lifted off the ground on two pairs of supports: one pair in tension, other in compression.

Fabrication // Template-type formwork was chosen to achieve a natural striated texture imprinted by the wood batten lining.

BIG SKY SKI LODGEConcept // The project takes cue from the muscle system, exploring ideas of tension, overlap, pushing / pulling. Spaces and structure are placed in a feedback loop where each informs another, evolving until a desired amount of coherence and unity is achieved.

Program // Hospitality and patrol programs are overlapped and placed in spatial tension against each other through connecting views and geometry. Hospitality space is distributed on 3 half-stories that step up to gain views out into the valley, thus creating a spatial sequence with plateaus of specific activity and experience.

Structure // Site-cast concrete structure becomes expressed by adapting to spacial conditions. Alternating between slab and frame behaviors, deep beams become shallower until they fuse and become slabs, and slabs in turn splinter into beams, branching out and weaving through the building.

LIC CINEMA _cinematic cloudSite Strategy // The cinema spaces are organized on an axis projected prom 45th avenue creating a corridor from the local neighborhood to the river. The mass is based on topological geometry, involuting and convoluting according to programmatic and site requirements. It’s surfaces act like screens displaying images towards Manhattan at night. The three IMAX domes are nested in the flowing mass. Equipped with kinetic apertures they signal to the city, quietly announcing when a movie begins or ends.

Program Strategy // The program of the LIC Kinematic Cloud takes advantage of the social aspect of a theatre lobby - a place where people gather before the show, an opportunity for social interaction in the form of a public forum. The strategy of the Kinematic Cloud is to push this urban hub into the fantasy realm of the movies. This is achieved by introducing movable seating booths that transport the viewer directly from the lobby to the theatre. When the booths are grounded, the lobby acts as a traditional large open space. The grounded booths facilitate social activity, such as eating, drinking or just lingering. The booths are organized in various formations to facilitate various group sizes and also encourage the social interaction between different parties. The booths serve the three IMAX domes located directly above. As the movie is about to begin the booths start to raise, spin and reconfigure into viewing formation. The kinetic ap-ertures on the outer layer of the domes slowly open before the movie begins, exposing the New York skyline and establishing a sense of place and a state of reality. As the movie starts the apertures close, reality fades and the visitors are immersed into a fantasy realm. This spectacle continues even after the film ends, the domes start regaining transparency and the visitors are brought back to reality. The booths return down to the lobby and accommodate the visitor’s desire to linger, socialize and share impressions.

NORTH SIDE URBAN MARKET _intersectionsConcept // The project creates a microcosm within a larger urban fabric by transposing the organizational pattern of busy street intersections. Consisting of energy paths and nodes of activity, ideas of motion and repose are explored.

Program // Consisting of conditioned and unconditioned spaces, the market program is distributed along intersecting paths. Where paths intersect places of repose are generated, with provided seating areas. Instead of independent booths, continuous tables are implemented to further reinforce the spatial effect of motion and repose.

Structure // Structural strategy is that of a steel mesh-lattice frame, that adapts to the form through varying the density of the mesh and the depth of members. The structure becomes expressive and ornamental through the use of adaptive tessellation.

BRIDGEPORT LIBRARY _puncturepun·cture [puhngk-cher] -noun. 1. the act of piercing or perforating. 2. a hole or mark so made

Puncture recreates the site as a neighborhood hub of information and activity, punching holes through space, matter and urban fabric.

The project was conceived as a multipurpose space, facilitating activities beyond the traditional library model. As a neighborhood center, it provides access to books and internet, quiet study and reading areas, space for community meetings and activities, a cafe and a public plaza.

The site is treated in an extroverted manner, as a hinge between existing landscape areas as well as between the commercial and residential zones. The building is lifted off the ground, creating a large open public space below and around. This outdoor space will facilitate multiple activities: neighborhood farmer’s market, after-school hangout spot for kids, community garden, and various public and community events.The main library program is treated in an introverted manner and is placed within a black square box, hovering above the street.

The volume of the box was determined by occupying the maximum allowable footprint and reaching for the maximum allowable height. The west side of the box lines the street edge, conforming to the adjacent buildings.

Tubular forms are then introduced, puncturing the site and the box. The tubes structurally support the hovering box and also bring natural light inside and below. The puncture locations were derived from the aspired equilibrium between programmatic organization and dramatic spacial and formal effect. The tubes are arranged in a hierarchical order with each one having a specific set of functions. Formally, the tubes are juxtaposed against the box, contrasting it’s pure black uniform mass with slender wooden skeletal forms. A wooden screen band lines the perimeter of the site, swerving and folding to avoid collision with the tubes. The band defines the street edge, addressing human scale and relating the building to the pedestrian experience.

STUDIO FOR A GRAPHIC DESIGNERAgenda // This project explores brick as building material in terms of structure, performance and aesthetic expression. Here brick is interpreted primarily as non-load bearing element. It becomes the cladding shell of the building, acting as rain screen and light filter.

Concept // Path cutting through a volume, volume enveloping the path. The program is distributed on a vertically on 3 floors. Circulation is primarily vertical, granting access to spaces of off the central switchback staircase. Vegetation is diligently integrated into the fabric of the building with interior garden space,s planters and a green roof

Light & Views // North diffused light comes into office and conference room to maintain balanced natural lighting for visual-specific work. South light floods into the stair shaft. The builing reaches maximum height per code to provide views over the neighborhood from office. The view from the studio to the existing residence in the back of the lot is obscured with translu-cent glazing for privacy.

Materiality // Juxtaposition of solid & heavy against transparent & light is one of the main themes in the project. Red brick, typical to the neighborhood, dominates the facade, peeling away as it moves upwards. Structural system is a hybrid between steel moment frames and brick shear walls. The brick facade exceeds structural capabilities of brick to hold up itslef and is tied to the steel frame for support.

CHICAGO RE-HOUSE Concept // Ensemble of 2 activity nodes encased in identical volumes - work & live. Space and form are generated by piercing and extruding volumes in a linear fashion through the living node volume, generating a string of spaces. The building embraces and celebrates the challenge of the typical narrow Chicago site through linear organization of space and dynamic affect of volume - stretched out and animated

Materials // Masonry was the primary structural and expressive material. AAC blocks were used as load bearing material within the wall assembly. 24” long roman bricks were speci-fied as cladding on the exterior and interior to emphasize the narrow elongated geometry and the affect of motion. Structural glass was extensively used as a secondary structural and expressive material to create an effect of juxtaposition and contrast of light & transparent against heavy & solid.

THE GARDEN AND THE VOIDBertran Goldberg’s old Prentice Hospital is reimagined as an inverted space. What was interior has worn out it’s function and is stripped away, opening up to the elements. The exterior in turn is cherished and enclosed, becoming interior space. The void of the old bed tower serves as a courtyard, a spatial sculpture and a water recycling system. The enclosed exterior serves as a winter garden.

The new building takes on a new spirit and function as a connection node within the University Campus. It offers a public plaza, healing center and a winter garden for the patients, staff and visitors. It connects the campus buildings by plugging into the existing sky-bridge network on every side, acting as a HUB. Both a transitional space and a destination, the HUB provides health and recreation functions, designed around the principles of Evidence Based Design. The floors are connected through a series of walkable ramps, eventually emerging at the roof into a winter garden.

WARWICK DUNESWarwick Dunes responds to the need for this public art intervention to operate both at the scale of the city/ infrastructure and the scale of the pedestrian. By creating a flowing canopy of lightweight fins, the intervention creates a rippling landscape that like sand dunes, appears to shift over time. The billowing volume composed of brilliantly colored aluminum fins will be im-mediately visible upon arrival to Warwick, offering a visual marker for both the InterLink and the larger neighborhood around the facility. Meanwhile the attachment strategy from garage to street grants those walking along the sidewalk a respite from the scale of infrastructural space – an opportunity to meander along a boardwalk stretching over mounds of seashells dappled with light and shadow from the canopy above.

DRAWDEL _strandsAgenda // This project is an experiment in the oscillation of materiality – layering information sets and shifting focus. Materialized as a DRAWDEL, it is part drawing part model. In this hybridized 2d and 3d presentation neither mode of communication can stand without the other. It is an artifact to push the modality of fabrication not only for presentation but for its use as a design tool.

Concept // Taking inspiration from tree morphology, Strands merges, splits, twists and weaves, behaving like roots of a tree. Conceived as a linear system, Strands is a dynamic piece that experiences transition and transformation as it emerges from the drawing and moves through space: from thick and massive to thin and delicate, the project is a play between scale, mass, and the void around it.

Fabrication // To obtain the desired effect, Strands was fabricated by vacuum forming the major elements and combining them with more delicate 3d printed pieces. The line drawing was laser cut into acrylic so that the light below would move through the image, projecting the colors onto the volumetric elements.
