2On the northern side of the Parade Ground, The
Governors Cup Pavilion hovers in a cluster of trees.
Recycled plastic cups, sourced and discarded throughout
the city, are supported by zip-ties from overhead cables,
forming a dense knitted structure unspooling from the
branches. Strapping and turn-buckled cabling system
used to leave the trees unscathed.The crocheted lace-
inspired configuration forms an outdoor room: part
canopy and part inhabitable tree-like member.

- punch 1 hole on the cup bottom (with metal puncher)
-punch 5 (3/16) holes bellow cup collar (with leather puncher tool)
After the cups have been cleaned, punched and glued together (through glue gun or plastic welding) then the units can be assembled into the modules. CDR will edit and sort the variety of cup sizes collected to modulate the forming of the structure through plan and section. We will also modulate the connections top and bottom, through tighter and looser zip-tie loops to provide exibility of the structure in two directions. The nal assembly will be done at the of ces of CDR and will be put together into approximately six (6) pieces for ease of construction and transport. The cup modules sections can stack, using cardboard plates to pack the truck. A small 12 high rental truck will t the complete installation pieces. The units will be transported to the site and the six (6) pieces will be stitched together on site with the zip-ties. Plastic shing line or re-used plastic wire (2mil) is woven into the top and bottom of the main cups structural tape through the loops of the zip ties, giving continuity and reinforcement to the construction. The center of the piece is staked and weighted to the ground, while the 4 wings of the installation will tie upward to the tree trunks creating 5 areas of play, stage and viewing. We will be using staging platforms, (ladders and boards) and come-alongs with rope hoists and hooks to raise each section to the branches and trunks. The trees will have cinching tree straps and protection for the bark; smaller cinching straps will also be used on the branches to connect overhead. The nal ties off will be done with the shing wire using spike hitches and bowmans knots.
-glue two cups bottom to bottom with hot glue (gun)
-assemble module of 3 glued parts (6 cups) by attaching one part to another with zip ties (6 zip ties per module)

4The holes that were punctured through the plastic cups serves
a practical purpose of rain drainage, but also lets the
ever-changing color of the sky pass right through - unfiltered.
The translucent yet reflective nature of all the materials used
catches and redirects the light. After the 2014 Summer City of
Dream installation, Greenpoint non-profit Arts@Renaissance
will claim the Pavilion for their courtyard gallery space. After
the cups have been cleaned, punched and glued together the
units got assembled into the modules. CDR Studio sorted out
the cups collected from We Work and Google NYC offices.
The final assembly was done at the offices of CDR Studio and
was put together into six pieces to ease the construction and
transportation.

5The units were transported to the site. The six pieces
were stitched together on site with the zip-ties. Plastic
fishing line or re-used plastic wire (2mil) is woven into
the top and bottom of the main cups structural tape
through the loops of the zip ties, giving continuity and
reinforcement to the structure.
Mock ups | Description
The mock up represents 1/4 of the final proposed
installation. The main structural tape was composed
of two cups attached end to end. The tape structure
was daisy- chained together with attached infill fringe
mesh in segments. For more uniform stresses on the
structure, zip tie loops with 400 pounds gauge fishing
line act as reinforcement. The mock-up was installed in
the courtyard of A@R in a 30x30 quilt. The mock up
used both the tape structure and fringe webbing infill
to try to maintain the form of the design.
Installation
The canopy allows for deformation while the tested
structural tape remained strong and held off wind and
rain. The four trees that CDR is proposing to work with
are approximately 12 to 14 caliper with canopies of
approximately 30 to 40 feet wide. Per our teams
arborists specification, we are proposing a canopy of
a series of hammockshung by using padded
strapping to connect tot he trees. GovernorsCup is a
stage, a backdrop, a place to linger. It is site-
specific and culled from many different inhabitations
and locales with our city.

In the first part of the project mullein moth caterpillar was
chosen as an organic form for its bright color combination
and solid body proportions. Caterpillars have been called
eating machines, and eat leaves voraciously. These
creatures have a very unique body/muscle structure and
are super flexible. Many caterpillars are cryptically colored
and resemble the plants on which they feed. Anatomical
changes are applied to the original prototype through a
series of deformations and tesselations in Maya.
In the second part of the project the prototype is manipu-
lated in a way where an alien-like machinecreature is
created through using a series of instances.

Brooklyn Square is an urban studio study for Brooklyn
Tech Triangle. It is a solution for one of the problematic
sites inside the Brooklyn Tech Triangle. A problem of a
extremely wide Sands street gets solved by rerouting
traffic going to and from Brooklyn Bridge, thus turning
it into a pedestrian area. That is where Brookly Square
lives. Brooklyn Square is a place where paths of young
tech professionals, business owners, colledge students,
wandering tourists and local residents intersect. It is
a unique mark on the Brooklyn map where Brooklyn
and Manhattan bridges meet - a juncture that brings
together downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO, south and
north of Jay street.
Brooklyn square is a place of entertaiments and
adventure. It is supplied with a high-tech interactive
visitors center that features large-scale touch screen
map that can be simulteneously manipulated by
multiple users. It provides an essential connection
between an extended Jay street subway exit on the F
train line and the new lightrail system. Brooklyn square
also brings luxury retail spaces as well as cafe/restau-
rant spaces.
Proposed transportation system that includes new light
rail system, modified bus routes and subway entrances
(next image on the right).

The brief is to re-imagine the condo
building which already had its foundation in place.
We redesigned the layouts with generous two
bedroom accommodating 5 units in the same
footprint. The building facade stretches across 35
feet along Washington Avenue, giving us a chance
to add meaning to an otherwise uninspired block.
The area has witnessed a building boom during
recent years.

To investigate the form different types of fabric
were gathered together and then pleated. The
notion of the memory or history of a fabric
becomes a focus of this study. The swatches are
pleated and then released. The memory left on
the fabric is an expression of motion, a motion
that is mimicking the pleat. That motion is a form
driver for this project. When generating the form
to replicate motion across a fabric, a series of
sine curves are created. Sine curves are lofted
and generate a flowing, organic form analogous
to the memory pattern left by the pleating
investigation. Final shape of the panel is achieved
through flip milling. The underside of the facade
piece is a replica of the top curvature geometry.

This project is situated at the very north of High Line park in NYC. This iconic hotel is directly connected to the High Line
pedestrian path. Courbe de Maison features luxury duplex suits with increadible views of Hudson river as well as 28
regular suits, farm to table restaurant, roof top lounge and a small farm.
The band of the hotel wraps under and above the High Line park and becomes one with it. Park visitors have a direct
acess to the roof top of the hotel. The rooftop farm provides tours and classes to the public.
