The Hostel Skyscraper Design
PROJECT FOCUS: Hostels are social environments. The design intent of our hostel was
to create social interaction between its SoHo location and its visitors. We achieved this
by bisecting the site to create a programmed path and plaza where the two buildings
meet. The program is bisected as well. The main 300 foot structure is the hostel and
the adjacent building is a bath house, acting as an amenity to the hostel.

The Underline
Urban Park Design
PROJECT FOCUS: Design one mile of a ten mile path that will span from South Miami to the Miami River. The mile that I designed was the
most urban part of the path running through the Brickell, or downtown, region of Miami. I subdivided my section into five parts. This area of
the path was the only section where the Metrorail height severely increased. In order to take advantage of the height and bipass the
dangerous cross walks of the area I designed a skyline, or suspended path, that would run above the street, but below the Metro.

Baroque Breakdown
Elemental Analysis
ANALYSIS: This
elemetal analysis
takes windows from a
piazza, a palazzo, and
a church and breaks
them down into their
simplest form in order
to understand them
further. The first two
iterations show the
windows in full detail.
The third iteration
shows the load
distribution of the
window, and the
fourth solely depicts
the window’s frame.
Each iteration gives
each window a
different meaning.
The ornament is what
makes these windows
unique.

Structural Analysis
ANALYSIS: This project analyzes the structure of the Main Concourse of
Grand Central Terminal through the creation of a hybrid model. The model
depicts a steel truss system clad with composite and stone. It studies both
primary and secondary forms of structure.

PROFESSOR: Alfredo Pirri LOCATION: Rome. Italy YEAR: 2014 MEDIUM: Charcoal
PROJECT FOCUS: The Wall Walk is a proposal to rehabilitate the Aurelian Wall. Our group was given the Porta San Sebastiano
section of the wall to redesign and reprogram. The Appian Way runs through this gate of the wall and is known as one of Rome’s
most important roads for its connection to southeastern Italy during the republic. Our idea was to create a social amphitheartre
using staired seating that shares the same proportions as the columns of the existing arches. Local Roman vegetation would
surround the area, isolating it and delineating it as its own space.

The Shipyard Reuse & Reprogram
PROJECT FOCUS: The focus of this project was to use the existing site of the Merrill Stevens Shipyard on the Miami River to adaptively
include a museum, a shipbuilding school, and a restaurant on site. We were not prohibitted to alter any of the existing structures of the area
and we had to add another water slip for boats. I created a building that was lifted off of the ground allowing for ship operations to continue
on the ground floor. The building cantilevers over the water and the street making itself present. It is connected to the other existing
structures by an elevated path that plugs into the main building.

Miami Fish Market
Civic Structure
PROJECT FOCUS: The Miami
Fish Market creates a relationship
between the land and the Miami
River through its Stoa-like structure
and layout. The hypostyle and
repetitive modular stall units
create a head and tail scheme
bringing the public in and through
the bulding.

Intermodal Center
Transportation Hub
PROJECT FOCUS: The goal of this project is to create a monumental transportation hub. The use of a single large scale room creates a
meeting point for all transportation, as well as a point of memory in one’s mind, much like Grand Central Terminal’s Main Concourse. The
rectangular adjacent building acts as a boat maintenance area, as well as a terminal for seaplanes.

LOCATION: Mexico City, Mexico YEAR: 2013 MEDIUM: AutoCAD, Photoshop
ANALYSIS: Mexico City’s rapidly increasing population has lead
to great informality in its urban plan. This study shows that the
farther outside the center of the city an area is, the more
informal its plan will be. There is also a great amount
informality in the center of the city due to historical events.

Artifcial Canopy
Metaphysical Thinking
PROJECT FOCUS: This project is a metaphysical approach to
historic preservation. It covers the existing market structure
of Porta Portese with an artificial canopy made of red
porcelain panels to create a new experience of the space.
Within the groups of panels are voids shaped as Italian stone
pines; a species native to Rome.
