EL YUNQUE NATIONAL FORRESTPUERTO RICO
The proposed site for the new visitor’s center for Puerto Ri-co’s expansive rainforest lies in the heart of the vibrant Palo Colorado section� At +2000 feet above sea level, this area of the forest contains three distinct strata of flora and fauna cre-ated by the canopy of trees, the understory, and the emergent growth above� The site maintains a comfortable temperature and humidity throughout the year with steady cooling breezes from the trade winds out of the east� Rainfall averages 130-170 inches per year�

FACADE DESIGN
The site’s unique temperate climate, averaging about 71° at this elevation of the forest with steady prevailing winds from the east, provides an opportunity to use passive systems of cooling� Cool air is drawn in from operable windows along the east side while warmer air in the double height space rises and escapes through assisted vents in the roof system� Fritted ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluo-roethylene) panels provide a lightweight roof with an insulating shield from solar heat gain� A gradient of frit density increases as the building moves out from the protective tree canopy�
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
The inspiration for the building’s structural system is derived from a biomimicry study of the Puerto Rican Parrot and the unique composition of a feather� Both strong and lightweight, feather structure is light enough for flight but also strong enough to with-stand high winds� The goal is to create a maximum structural sup-port with a minimum impact on the land, thus helping to preserve the delicate balance of life at the forest floor� The interconnected column system mimics the woven nature of a feather, supporting three levels with eleven small column footings at the ground�

LUMINA: CITYELDERLY HOUSING FOR ARTISTS WITH EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER’S
Light and memory are transitory and fleeting in nature� They func-tion as traces on our existence, snapshots and impressions left upon our minds� This connection of light and memory is the driving con-cept behind my structure�
This center will bring together a community of artists with early stage Alzheimer’s� The artists’ work must be related to light, which may include light sculpture, light graffiti, light drawing, interactive light in-stallations, performance light art, or any creative endeavor of their choosing related to light� Practicing light artists in residence will assist them in creating this work� The program includes living and studio spaces for the artists as well as a public corridor for exhibition and retail�
CONEY ISLAND BROOKLYN, NY
Coney Island has long been a venue for spectacular, innovative arti-ficial light� The site was used as an experimental testing ground for electric lighting, where the Luna Park and Dreamland amusement parks sparkled from miles away in surreal spectacle� The tradition continues today with the lighting of the Parachute Jump and the new Luna Park�
MTA’s Arts for Transit program sets up a precedent for Urban Art at the site with the renovation of the two train stations flanking the site� Vito Acconci’s “Wavewall” of 2005 adorns the West 8th street station, while Robert Wilson’s “Coney Island Baby” glass-silkscreen block wall (2004) forms the rear wall of the Stillwell Avenue station�

LIGHT AS TRACE, LIGHT AS MEMORY
The building’s structure will function as a blank canvas for the artists as the building itself be-comes part of the resident’s art� The exhibition will occur primarily in the elongated, open pub-lic circulation corridor, with additional spaces for testing among the living quarters� Interactive in-stallations and workshops held by the artists will function to tie into the community� A throwback to Luna Park and Dreamland, the building will be-come a spectacle at night, viewable both from the street and by trains passing through the light zone�

POPS Space (Privately + Owned + Public + Space)53RD & 6TH AVENUE, NYCNew York’s Calyon building is host to one of the city’s many POPS spaces, or privately owned public spaces� A 1961 zoning regulation allows relief from height and setback restrictions to tall buildings by providing indoor or out-door spaces for the public on their property� Few of these spaces are very successful, 53rd and 6th a good example as it seem to provide little to the public� Our challenge for this studio was to build a structure within an existing less successful POPS space for public and commercial use�
This studio began as a material study, where I analyzed the properties of wire screen mesh� I was particularly attracted to the flexible nature of the screen and its ability to mold into organic forms� I created three distinct variations which transition into one another across the field, shown in the image below�
53rd & 6th Ave, NYCThe tall buildings along 6th avenue soar to impres-sive heights, and in their wake cast long shadows at the ground level� I became aware of this effect of light while visiting the site, in which the building and its cast shadow appear as a peeling away of two layers�
The slowly rising form of the new pavilion mimics this behavior of the cast shadows, as the two layers of the street and roof line peel away from one another� Light filters to the ground from the dancing forms above, transforming monotonous shadows into a playful and inviting user experience�

PORT AUTHORITY OF CAGLIARISARDINIA, ITALYOver the course of this studio, we investigated how to create ‘breathable spaces�’ My interpretation of how a space ‘breathes’ is how it behaves with respect to light transmittance and the circulation of air and water�
I studied the material tyvek to investigate how it ‘breathes’ with respect to light, air and water� Tyvek is a material made from the irregular layering of fibers and is used for air and water resistance in buildings, safety suits, and mailing envelopes� Through a series of experiments, I found that tyvek mail-ing envelopes change their porosity when exposed to heat� As heat is added, dense areas shrink and pull apart, leaving a network of translucent branches between these dense areas� This process creates a gradient of enclosure and transparency in the material�
I hope to achieve this gradient of enclosure and transparency within the in-terior of the structure� The building houses many programs under one roof, including office, auditorium, virtual meeting room, retail and public areas� These varying programs require different levels of lighting and conditioning� Using my research as inspiration, I created a gradient of interior spaces by varying the density of exterior facade treatment and creating small pods of conditioned enclosure within� This treatment reduces the cooling load on the building and takes advantage of the temperate climate and persistent breezes on the island of Cagliari�

CAGLIARI, SARDINIA, ITALYThe predominately temperate climate of Cagliari allows for a design that creates a variety of enclosure conditions. Temperatures average around 62o at the site, with highs in the upper 70s in the summer and lows in the upper 40s in the heart of winter. Steady winds across the island create a cool and comfortable atmosphere even on the warmest days. Due to these conditions, we were given freedom to create spaces with degrees of enclosure, from fully exposed outdoor space to semi-enclosed and fully conditioned indoor space.

FAX NY: Farming Extreme in NYCThis project explores the integration of residential and vertical farming units into a cohesive structure that fosters a symbiotic relationship between the building’s inhabitants, visitors, plants and their pollinators� An open structural condition emerges from the ground plane, forming a semi-enclosed market space� Residential and farming units grow towards one another, morphing into a homogeneous center where the two programs intertwine� The two towers then split once again into separate spaces for residents and farmers�

Carefully controlled colonies of honeybees are used for plant pollination, and honey and other bee products are harvested and sold in the open market below. Exterior terraces and semi-enclosed interior courtyards permeate the residential units, allowing inhabitants to have their own garden oasis within the living unit, as well as aiding in the circulation of air and light throughout the building. The result is a building language and lifestyle that is meant to give relief from the congestion and regularity of the surrounding city.
