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.

THE FOREST FLOOR
Modern architecture in Berlin is shaped by a history of industrialization, politics, conflict, occupation, immigration, and gentrification. The Forest Floor proposes affordable and transitional housing as Berlin increases efforts to regulate development and provide urban living for long-time citizens, and accommodate
immigrants reaching for democratic life.

The project calls for the reclamation of existing open space left by Corbusian-inspired ville contemporaine housing of the 1950/60s. This new, low-rise strategy consists of rentable micro and family-size units paired with market-rate residences. Constructed in cross-laminated timber (CLT) as part of a global solution for carbon sequestration, Berlin’s next challenge for urban growth therefore becomes a metaphoric and literal timberland that accommodates a diverse social-economic habitat.
The root of the proposal is anchored in growing cities in a dense yet humane ways. To accomplish this, the design is founded on research utilizing eye-tracking techniques to create the impression of large spaces within small physical limits. Four parameters (reference color diagrams) were used for perceptually expanding space in ways that are open, free, and indeterminate. The spaces inherent to CLT construction enhances this approach, as planes and walls in the field of view increase spatial depth and the visual field.
