“In Red Hook, I have proposed a central Google Center that links neighborhood schools and residents; Private and public areas are overlapped, forming a series of flexible spaces that are redefined and juxtaposed to playfully but strategically inform each other… The project is meant to create a social impact and initiate a new model of education through building and networking.”

“In an attempt to recondition not only the expressway but also the immediate context, this project proposes both premeditative and programmatic additions to the Lincoln Tunnel Expressway site.” The proposal consists of an urban scale “lobby” space stretching the length of the expressway and a series of towers.”

“By locating [the Museum of the City of New York] into the Williamsburg Bridge, the museum is not only inhabiting the infrastructure that forms New York but directly activating the connection routes that form its life veins.”

“LESSS, a synthesis of housing and self storage, seeks to facilitate our participation in consumer culture, while allowing for a reconnection between dwelling, accumulation and display that both reveals and critiques our need for more “stuff”.”

“My proposal for Public School 19 is to create interactive space between playgrounds and classrooms with a wall standing as an interface for the two spaces. The wall will create more ambiguous space for the two spaces as a creator of separation, transition and connection. The interactive space will affect both of play and study environment, and create one ideal learning space.”

“This project started as a series of surrealistic games as a comment on the way that Manhattan works. Essentially, the project became a game of the grid looking at Manhattan corner conditions acting as landmarks within the city that reaffirm and deform that grid at that point. The site then had to be a corner acting as a microcosm of the city.”

“Target local is designed to allow shoppers to see where their food is coming from and how it gets to the shelves. The store’s layout will give shoppers a strong awareness of their immediate surroundings through view and natural daylight and provide them with sense of real time, leading to a better shopping experience.”

“As an investigation of memory, a site strategy was developed to record important past uses of the site and to question what effect this might have in the future. The irregular shape of the site is a result of the intersection of Peter Stuyvesant’s three farms. Evidence of this is still visible at the western end of the site where the residual presence of Stuyvesant Street has resulted in oddly shaped lots. The concept of porosity of time was tested through sectioning the site along axes relevant in different time periods in order to expose past occupation.”
