INSTITUTE OF AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY
Isolated from the city, the masterplan for the Institute of Aerospace Technology is conceived as a progressive transformation of the traditional university campus plan. The organizational structure of this proposal is constructed from a typological study of the “court” scheme prevalent in late 19 th century academic planning, in conjunction with the notion of movement, order, and flight, thematic in airport design.

2017 New York City Affordable Housing Competition
2nd Place Award
This pilot-phase concept proposal explores the notion that small-scale design can lead to large-scale effects by using an affordable housing unit that adapts to varied urban conditions. The approach focuses on the design of a 280 s.f. unit that incrementally populates different urban site conditions, allowing familiar but also alternative building types to emerge. The basic “L-shaped” configuration of each unit is predicated on a perception of space that is “out-of-view” or “out-of-sight.” This visual effect expands the impression of the interior beyond normal expectations and avoids the container-like character typical of most micro-dwelling proposals.

BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS
Unit types occur in three basic forms. The placement of cooking, bathing and lounging are interchangeable and produce varying objects. Entrances and window apertures allow a secondary means of inducing spatial variety, circulation, and visual paths in these simple configurations. Units can be tightly packed given their puzzle-like shape. By contrast, a loose packing provides the added benefit of exterior verandas, terraces and patios.
As such, OUT-OF-SIGHT aims to promote: 1) perceived space over square footage; 2) indeterminate room limits over confined boundaries; and 3) occupation of desirable places in the city by virtue of its adaptive characteristics rather than imposing presence as an urban structure. The conceptual strategy is demonstrated in three New York urban conditions that tests the viability of the system: as a a 5-story urban townhouse, a 12-story urban corner, as and as a multi-layered, horizontal ‘mat’ situated in the East River.
