HIGH RISE

THE CONCEPT IS TO CREATE AN EXTERIOR STRUCTURE THAT HELPS SUPPORTS THE FLOORS WHILE CREATING A BAGGING EFFECT AROUND THE TOWER. WHEN APPROACH-ING THE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH AND SOUTH THE STRUCTURE IS VERTICAL, BUT WHEN APPROACHING FROM THE EAST AND WEST THE STRUCTURE SLOPES DOWN-WARD INDICATING A FLOOR PLATE CHANGE.

INSPIRED BY A NETWORK OF CONCRETE FREEWAYS AND OVERPASSES IN CLOSE PROX-IMITY OF THE SITE, THE DESIGN INTENTION WAS TO CREATE AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD LIFT THE HOUSING UNITS ABOVE THE SITES EIGHT FOOT FLOOD PLANE WHILE STITCHING TOGETHER THE URBAN AND NATURAL FABRIC OF THE CITY.

BORDER CROSSING

THE INTENT OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A BORDER CROSSING LOCATED BETWEEN LAREDO, TX AND MEXICO. THE DESIGN IS INSPIRED BY THE MIGRATION OF THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY THAT TRAVELS FROM TEXAS TO MEXICO. THE LANDSCAPE SURROUNDING THE BUILDING IS A RESTING PLACE FOR MONARCHS TO GATHER AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO VIEW THEM.

SOCIAL HOUSING

LOCATED IN NEW YORK CITY ALONG THE GOWANUS CANAL THERE ARE THREE TOW-ERS (RESIDENTIAL) THAT HELP SUPPORT A TRANSPARENT BLOCK (LIBRARY) OFF THE GROUND TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS IF IT IS FLOATING. THE LANDSCAPE UNDERNEATH THE GLASS BLOCK IS HIGHER AND LOWER IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO ACCOMODATE FOR THE HIGH AND LOW TIDE WHICH WILL PROVIDE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES DURING THAT TIME. MY INTENT IS TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER BY COMBINING A LIBRARY AND HOUSING THAT WILL SERVE AND SUPPORT THE SURROUND NEIGHBORHOODS.
