Chinatown is one of the more underserved neighborhoods in Manhattan for the arts. The timeless
art of weaving was used to explore ideas of material, surface, and visual perception.
Through pattern, iteration, and variation, what became primarily interesting was a “visual weave”, an ephemeral connection to bordering spaces. Using this phenomena I created selective
connections between adjacencies, whether
viewed from inside or out.

Stone Street in lower Manhattan presents an interesting opportunity for the integration of a sustainable high rise.The site warrants a concern for natural light, being surrounded by adjacent highrise buildings. As an office space for the National Resource Defense Council, a structural/sustainable icon is a suitable development. The cold dark site desired a visual experience vertically to reconnect with the skyline. Beginning with a gallery space “Contemplation Space” in the basement that visually reaches up thru a central atrium culminating at an interior garden. As the user moves vertically the appearance of a gradual light from unexpected sources becomes present.
The skin of the central organic form offered the opportunity to allow the user to control
the suns intensity. A system of 3 fritted panels between a double skin can be mechanically operated to slide
in any configuration. This system would also work
dynamically with the appearance of the
skin, changing vertically with the
varying times of day/season/ and
sun’s intensity

Enhancing the neighboorhood’s natural site conditions and oceanfront connection
Reversing the repetative neglected indoor / outdoor relationship and extending into nature, maximizing views.
The mission of the Institute is to provide information and education to the public, monitor the conditions of the
coastline N and S of Bay Head, conduct environmental study and research, and manage dune protection/beach
preservation. By splitting and lifting the program, the intention is to breakdown the coastline wall while also
creating usuable natural spaces below. The apendages, punctured with infinite openings, splay towards the
ocean to exploit views and act as a virtual bridge to the beach.
