Connections: Architectural Exploration in Hertzian Space [Brooklyn, NY] Graduate Thesis Studio Within recent years, the progress in communication technology has allowed the world become more connective than ever, yet this evolution of communication technologies has further weakened human face--face communication with each new development. As part of NYU s growth plan, the proposed Media Connections Center is a research facility that allows researchers, professors, and students create and develop these new technologies that re-introduce the human facr while also creating an environment that creates spaces for collaboration, socializing, and interaction with the public through a series of interlocking research labs and a stepping pinwheel of circulation space. An architectural exploration of the idea of Hertzian space, the Media Connection Center brings gether the human element back in technology and in the lives of its inhabitants.

Center for The Study & Appreciation of Landscape [Lanzarote, Spain] Graduate Comprehensive Studio The creation of Lanzarote is the result of two contrasting forces; the creative force of the volcanoes and lava and the eroding force of the wind and water. The center itself is no more than the rock, a simple creative object. Like the rock, the center is eroded and carved away at, creating opportunities for light, wind, views, and the landscape itself enter in the building, creating an experience of Lanzarote within the building. Like the pores on the rock, the spaces within the center are a series of open and compressed spaces that allow for visirs experience different areas of the building from one single point. The unique program, part museum for nature, part research center, intertwine with one another create a full experience of the center for the visirs and researchers.
Vaarala Comprehensive School [Espoo, FN] Springer Architects Springer Architects completed this submission for a new comprehensive school in Espoo Finland as part of an international design competition. The competition is currently under review. The scheme is organized in two main parts; the public shared community spaces and the more private learning spaces. The community spaces were seen as rough rock faces, inspired from Finland s glacier hisry. These spaces front the main street and activate the street level. The community spaces are seen as an interior street or market in which the community and students can share. In contrast the rock like public spaces, the learning space is perceived as a forest, a common symbol for the strive for knowledge and relating Finland s vast forested wilderness. The learning spaces are organized in a courtyard scheme which allows for shorter corridors, views the exterior, and public nooks and informal lounge spaces for the students and staff.
