WHITE STREET

White street is a high energy performance mixed-use renovation

and penthouse addtion in TriBeCa. It’s location in a landmarked

district requires sensitivity. The facade will be restored adding

new energy efficient windows. Many of the design decisions

focused on materiality.

REFLECTION: APARTMENTS

The concept for this project was developed after a site visit when I asked

myself the question: In St. Louis where the urban fabric has deteriorated

how do you address context, or the lack of context, when the site has a

potential for dramatic, unknown change?

11

The reflective panels become a background for

changes in the city.

Reflectivity, unlike transparency, creates an

environment of contemplation. This project focuses

inward creating several courtyards which provide

outdoor space for the apartments.

QUIET SPACE:

FINNISH CULTURAL INSTITUTE IN NEW YORK

The Finnish people are widely known for their quiet nature. What they are

less known for is their drastic change in character during the summer

months; after a long harsh winter, built up energy needs to be released.

I became interested in this duality of character not only because of the

individuals’ changing character but because of the contrasting nature of

New York to Helsinki. How do you create silence in the “city that never

sleeps”?

you from the city for a moment.

Designed for traveling artists to

display their work, it can also

double as an event space. The

design is muted to suppress

detail and visual noise.

:Construction Method B:Shifted dart aperture - for openings and entries-make cut in desired location of sheet, and cut out triangular portion - making sure that one side is longer then the other.-seam side a to side b, making opening area agreeable to desired slit size.-position one plane in positive or negative z-direction direction.

:Construction Method C:Arched Hood - with wings for surface spanning-position arch in direction of desired arch arrangement, and cut saddle shape that produces desired arch height and curvature.-simply fold and seam along edges a and b with arch in positive z-direction.

:Construction Method A:Klein Aperture - pseudo hood relief-make cut slightly away from corner, and make one length and then shift remaining cut towards center of sheet.-cut a and b should be roughly the same length, and to connect curve side a in negative z-direction to create depressed hood shape, and seam a to b .- if aperture is not large enough, cut more of a circular hole in the remaining portion of the incision.-if you wish to have a hood that opens in the opposing direction, just push it in the positive z-direction direction.

SEAMS: SHEET LOGICS

Beginning with a flat sheet we manipulated fabric using darts. Darting is a

method commonly used in the fashion industry which involves the cutting and

removal of material and the joining of the new edges. The darting method was

used to design not only the structural and spatial form but also the skin of the

design.

Thermoforming process

During the studio we built a prototype of the

skin using HDPE, a smooth white plastic. In

both scales of design we used the seams to

increase the volume and to create apertures.

In the final product we retained a fabric-like

form using hand manipulations which would

be used as a way of customizing each panel

on site.
