This thesis project focused on rethinking the urban stadium and the stadiums place in relationship to the city. There is a common stadium problem in the world nowadays as many stadiums are heavily funded by the public, yet members of the community can only inhabit the venues on game-day or event-day. This should be challenged and rather than having the stadium sit empty on most days, we should rethink how the space can be utilized daily. By integrating a renovated stadium with the city and implementing parks and green spaces, the communitys daily use of the stadium is facilitated.

Throughout this two-week summer course named Objectified Fields, groups of three collaborated to alter existing house designs using digital programs. My group used Rhino & T-Splines to re-design the endless House by Frederick Kiesler. The end result became a space for a scientist specializing in ecology who required a house to live in and work in, with the ability to travel the world through air, on ground, and in water.

RENEW CincinnatiRejuvenated Energy for a NEW City14
The objective for this semester was to take an existing project we completed and re-imagine it fifty years in the future. This project is an energy generating building that creates and distributes energy to the nearby area. The new addition is placed on top of the existing building as wind turbines are the key objects of the project along with wind amplifiers that make up the facade. The title RENEW represents a fictional company that stands for (Rejuvenated Energy for a NEW City).

It is common for most cities to be fast paced and busy. This usually creates busy, dense, and noisy street blocks when one wants to live in the city, yet avoid these common issues. However, through architecture it is possible to address these problems and offer an alternative. This project focused on creating a space for residents to live in the city without dealing with the common problems of city dwellings. Densely populated, busy, and noisy streets are left on the outside of the residential building while more serene living conditions are formed inside.

A design proposal for a lobby space for a neighboring train and bus station in Syracuse, New York. Expanding Experience offers visitors an open and spacious lounge to fill as they await their travels. The design concept stems from a folding analysis with the aim to create the building form through a series of folds from one surface plane. The end result becomes a building where the visitors experience expands as they move throughout the slim building form.
