Urban Design Intervention

These images are taken from a fourth year urban design studio project in Caracas, Venezuela. For this intervention a dead end in a very dense neighborhood was selected for the challenge of reducing danger and violence. One goal of this project was to densely populate the vacant area to add a sense of voyeurism thus creating a feeling of safety. I proposed to widen the existing staircase, while simultaneously implementing green terracing to function as pedestrian transportation.

Rare Books Reading Center

A second year design project. This project began as a simple design problem: create a nine inch by twelve inch object using only paper. Only one week later the project then turned into 5,000sf Rare Book Library and reading center located in the financial district of Boston. Supporting program included private reading spaces and
preservation rooms.

Antigravity Dance Center

The following images are taken from a third year design project. The program required an 8000sf performance studio for the Antigravity Dance Company -- a high energy representation of acrobatics and dance. The circulation core is composed of stacked, recycled cargo containers reinforced by steel. A motorized track is attached to each cargo container, which supports individual room units. Framing of the single room unit is formed of steel, insulated and
faced with gypsum on the interior, and recycled cargo container material on the exterior. The floors are composed of metal decking, concrete, insulation, and hardwood. A glass panel is installed at the front of the unit for viewing purposes. Multiple room units may be attached to the track to enable transitional space.
