Tools of Trade discusses the overlap of Digital Representation in Architecture. This project explores the technical parts of an erector set. Each
part of the erector set is drawn to scale in auto-cad, then manipulated in Rhino to form new relations between parts. The drawings to the left
show the process and exploration of parts in the erector set, while enhancing first year’s understanding of Architectural Tools within studio.

NYT Market Place
Environmental Interior Design. yr 3
Syracuse University
What if the New York Times building was repurposed to be a self sustained sky tower. Keeping the intended concept of translucency and
transcendence. The bottom extension of the NYT Buidling is transformed into an agricultural hub for local farmers to invent a new style of a
stop and go food market.
15. EXTERIOR AGRICULTURE
The growing process of
vertical agriculture in the
market place is exposed to
create transparency.
TRANSLUCENT PANNELS
Translucent pannels gives
a new interpretation of
opacity.
LED LIGHTING
LED lighting is embedded
between the glass pannel
and the exposed roots of
the vertical agriculture.
GLASS
Glass has the ability to
translate reflectivity while
exposing the light
installation.

Hallucination takes
form on an interactive
tessellation that is
projectesd onto the
east wall. The
tessellation is a
compilation of the
recorded motion within
the warehouse lobby.
Self-Criticism is
depicted through a
null in design. The
blank area and
spotlights exhibit
introspective
reflection.
Routine is reflected
in the control of the
convex curve.
Anxiety is exhibited
through radial design.
As you move in the
installation the room
encloses.
Memory is described
through the repetition
of the design.
Adventure is the final
destination. At the
end of the installation
a camera is set in the
west wall, which
records all motion
within the warehouse
lobby and reflected
back onto the east wall.
