Architecture is art in reaction to our most basic need for

shelter. However, architecture is intimately connected to
individuals by constructing a physical and psychic safe
space. It shares a reciprocal relationship with our economic
demands, and technological advances. Architecture has the
ability to transcend generations of culture across the world.
My architecture is focused on a creating a strong social and
emotional connection between people and space, where
space can influence and impact the lives of people in a
positive manner.

(red hook community center & SITE
police station)
prof. Dan Bucsescu & Filip Tejchman PARK
The overall concept of my building 2.
is backed by the notion of the police

and the public coming together to
form a hybrid building, making the
structure a combination of a com-
munity center and a police station.
The building can house the two
entities at separate levels along 3.
with moments where they both

interact with each other in overlap-
ping spaces. The opportunity to
draw the public into the site
revealed itself with the Red Hook
community ball fields situated
across the street from the building 4.

Design Studio VIII

(boat construction building)
prof. Dan Bucsescu
The boat construction building is

located in Dobbs Ferry, NY, which is a
small town located about 30 miles
north of Manhattan along the
Hudson River. The syntax of the build-
ing was derived from the notion of
boat building. The glu-lam beams
that make up the main structure of
the building are to appeaer as if they
were the main ribs of the hull of a
boat. There are three programs
situated on the site within the whole
building. There is a cafe, a retails store
and a boat building workshop with
drafting and construction offices. The
idea behind the program layout is
such that one can come and enjoy
the whole sequence of buidlings a
boat and experience the whole
process from drafting the plans, to
ordering the materials and then com-
pleting the construction phase.

Design Studio VII

(one police plaza)
prof. Dan Bucsescu
in collaboration with Dan Babko
The interior of the boundary will

contain and control the public
population within the old “interior
plaza” condition of the site. Not
allowing the public to roam in an
unstructured manor upon the
vulnerable site. The order of the
containment will contribute to the
“release” of the intimidation factor
the site previously portrayed. An
agency perimeter will establish a
new centralized mass within the
“New” perimeter. The agency
perimeter has the ability to pen-
etrate the “New” to re-establish and
reinforce the overall urbanistic
dominance that the NYPD & agen-
cies have over the overall site.
Allowing for agency activity inside
& outside of the “New”. Program
ambiguous in the sense of being
unarranged and have the ability to
transform to suit seasonal, cultural
changes a progressive city within
the city.

Design Studio VI
(natatorium)
prof. Lonn Combs
The natatorium is located in the Green

Point/Williamsburg section of Brook-
lyn. The site, McCarren Park, was
once the site of a public pool. The
neighborhood has a strong established
identity. The entrance is situated along
the axial direction of Bedford Avenue.
The site is intended to be an extension
of the urban fabric of Bedford Avenue,
allowing pedestrians to pass through
the site or enter the building on one of
the two levels. The lower level is where
the main wet zones of the natatorium
are located (olympic size lap pool,
diving pool and numerous leisure
pools). In contrast the upper level
houses the dry programs (community
rooms, ticket sales, cafe & spectator
seating) The upper and lower levels of
the natatorium offer a strong social
connection with cut out atrium spaces.
These elements allow for numerous
spatial and visual links between the
two levels, while simultaneously hold-
ing a physical boundary between them.
During peak hours of operation occu-
pants will be able to view and experi-
ence multiple events that are taking
place in the building while enjoying
their own activities.

Design Studio V
(housing)
prof. Lonn Combs
in collaboration with Patrick Donbeck
The Student, at his/ her finest,

steps an intentional foot forward
into the worlds of self exploration
and a collective identification;
situated somewhat uncomfortably
between the visions of where he
places himself and where the world
places him. It is our goal to provide
an environment with extreme
sensitivity to the existential high-
plane goal of the student; learn thy
self, learn thy world. The unit
defined/ designed (as part) is a
linear procession in a gradient of
publicity to privacy to the climax of
circulation which places the transi-
tion in the interior of the unit from
shared living to private living right in
the threshold of the public circula-
tion on the floors above and below.
We expose the private bound
inhabitant right before their sacred
space, a sensory reminder of the
world around that should be difficult
to ignore when is solus. Providing
the student with a monastic space
which is constantly being ques-
tioned by the profane proximity of a
dense urban context.

Design Studio IV
(library)
prof. Richard Scherr
In Design IV the main focus was to

design a library. The site of the
library was located in lower Man-
hattan on the Bowery. There was a
rigorous investigation in the rela-
tionship between section and floor
plan. The overall design was influ-
enced by a complex sectional that
defined served and service areas
within the library. The main of the
library being deeper into the build-
ing, keeping it away from any natu-
ral light exposure. The stacks
became a back bone or spine in
the library. It defined the main
structure or load bearing wall.
There are a number of atriums in
the library that have a strong
sectional and social connection
from the reading floors to the study
floors.

(kindergarten)
prof. Alice Chun
In Design III, the main focus was

to design a kindergarten. The site
of the kindergarten was a state
Park at Kent Avenue & North 7th
Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The design process required me to
correspondence the site, a specific
program, tectonics and structure. I
explored the method of collage and
varies techniques in representation
for exploiting my ideas and design.
I started with a series of site analy-
sis that translated into a number of
material studies. From the series of
material studies. I moved into the
design of my building based off of
certain qualities that where incor-
porated in my material studies. I
used the structural quality of glass
and the way that a transparent
material can also used to be
opaque.

Design Studio II
(landscape)
prof. Richard Sarrach
In Design II, the main focus was

developing a landscape field and
incorporate a building into a land-
scape. The landscape was derived
from focal studies that were done in
the beginning of the semester. The
early facial studies were done by
making orphus connections on the
face. I made a connection between
the eye and the mouth, focusing on
compression and expansion. From
those studies I made three different
layers: bone muscle and skin to
create my landscape model. Each
layer was made to connect to each
other in a certain way. Stemming
from the layers of connection, a
spacial cross section was designed
to undulate over a certain distance.
The cross section is broken down in
to numerous sections to allow for
shelter and circulation. Along with
those aspects of the cross section
the exterior skinning system occurs
a specific programmatic areas.

Design Studio I
(spacial studies)
prof. Jeremey Carvalho
In Design I, the main focus was to

develop an understand of how to
relate words into architectural
spaces. I picked the word propa-
ganda and related it to Japanese
Joinery. I started with the basic
elements of joinery for the first
phase of joints I built. Then I moved
into a more complex form of joints,
which were able to move in the x,y
and z axis. This allowed them to join
to each other, forming my midterm
model. The midterm model consists
of 63 joint components that could
expand and contract. This allowed
my model to form a series of differ-
ent architectural spaces along with
a circulatory system. The Final
model was an exploration of
extracting the spaces created in the
midterm model and making them
static components. I focused mainly
on circulation, creating a series of
fast pace spaces connected by
slower resting spaces.
