All drawings that were done
in collaboration with Team
Fracture are labled with the
team member who worked
on the drawing as well .
	 We startedwithasixbysixby
eight foot mass, with this we had to
create a space which had three
sleeping spaces, circulation space,
and the minimum of one en-
trance.These programmatic neces-
sities were developed through a
Series of three cuts and shifts.First I
designed the space to have
a clear sleeping area. The
second move I made was to create a
circulation space with enough
room to stand. The moves that
I made broke up the mass into
a very open circulation plan and
individual sleeping areas.A tight
entrance was made to create what
seemedtobealargerinteriorspace.
Axonometric Massing Series
Modular Assembly Series (Each unit model was done by a memeber of the group)

More angles were added
to make all facades of the
building flow together. This
then created a fractured
appearance throughout
the building. (all drawings
on this page were drawn
by me)

Progression of Direction
Professor:
	 Curt Gambetta
	 In this project the idea was
to create a specific feeling within a
space. Given specific dimensions
of four different rooms we had to
invoke a feeling with in them. With this I
began to design a space that
explored the directionality of a space
through compression. This project
then was developed into an Islamic
Cultural Center for the Buffalo State
College. The idea of directionality was
then used to promote the progres-
sion of prayer through the Mosque.
Adding the idea of control to exaggerate
the feeling of compression
Using the compression and decompression of structural elements the per-
son is pushed or directed through the space. Leading the user from one
room to the next, creating the spatial experience of directionality.

Transformation and integration of building and land
Using the main circulation and view paths of the site I began to create different
programmatic slices of the building while keeping a central circulation space for
maximum security with in the library.
Circulating Divisions
Professor:
	 Jean Lamarche
	 Given a site on University at
Buffalo’s North campus we were tasked
to design a new library that would
encompass all of the current book
collections that the school owned.
The site was one of the only large
green spaces left on the campus
and when designing the library it was
desirabletokeepasmuchgreenspaceas
possible. The idea was that the
building could become a transition from
the infrastructure to the landscape.

In plan the division of program is clearly defined, even
structural elements begin to help separate each section.

The points towards Buffalo become extensions of the
path, which create patios to the exterior to allow the user
opportunities to engage with Buffalo’s actual climate.
World Promenade
Professor:
	 Nerea Feliz
	 The idea of the meridian
allows for a natural transition
between ecosystems and climates.
As an organizational strategy it
creates the possibility to view the
linear connection and continuity
the world climates encompass. By
highlighting the meridian the user
can become engaged with their
surroundings.The Buffalo meridian,
alone, does not allow for all of the
plants the gardens wish to use. By
observing the plants they have now
I came up with two additional paths
around the world, which also cross
through buffalo. The building begins
to express this idea of continuity in
the form of a ramp. The ramp sym-
bolizes a continuous architectural
promenade through the climate
zones. By twisting among themselves
the ramps become enclosures for
different climate zones in the
building. The height that the ramp
provides allows for different
viewpoints and perspectives of
the plants at two different scales.
By highlighting the meridian the
user begins to have a dynamic
experience of the plants and
places focused on along these paths.

The ramp which allows for continuous circulation also allows for a dynamic experience of the different scale plants. By separating the different plant
species into two scales the user can have a more intimate experience with small plants while also allowing them to get different viewpoints of larger plants.
These studies focus on two main points. Intertwining Three Meridians and how
they can become Structured. The structure begins to mimic a forest of trees

The Orangery or Event Space has the opposite programmatic distribution from all of the other rooms with in the building. The services like the kitchen and bathroom are
located in the center of the space and the circulation and party space is located along the exterior. This opposition was created to allow for views from the event space out
into the park. The event space has a direct axis with the entrance and is surrounded by the gardens but still is able to maintain privacy through a density of columns and
buffer like courtyards.

	 Starting with two distinct
patterns, one man made and
the other natural , a system was
designed that could be then controlled
to create a building facade. This
facade would later be used to create
the form of a market and office space
for the Pittsburgh Market District.
Pittsburgh Market and Office
	 Forming a new system by
extracting ideas about grids, quadrants,
colors, and the connection of center points.
The new system discovered created a
triangulated grid. The triangulated pat-
tern creates unique qualities by creating
a very distinct system using one shape
which is repeated. The new pattern is
an iteration of the original but not yet a
transformation. To create a transforma-
tion the original grid must be manipulated.
A grid can be broken down into quad-
rants, and this allowed for the new sys-
tem to be controlled locally and globally.
	 The flower, radiating lines, gra-
dients of colors, central axis, and the con-
nection of end points were all ideas which
were examined to form a new system.
The end points of the radiating lines were
numbered according to distances from
the center. The points were then con-
nected in order from smallest to largest.
What becomes intriguing about this pat-
tern is that these precise rules created a
seemingly random pattern. What this new
system begins to lack is a way to further
control and transform the pattern. By us-
ing the grid and quadrants discovered in
the previous textile studies, the system can
be further modified to maximize its control.
Ordering System
Created from the combination of previous studies
A catalogue of different size triangular shading de-
vices were designed to allow for more shading. The
protruded triangles followed the same original system.

This model was created to further show how the system was configured. The system is one continuous line that appears to be broken when in order. This model allowed for me to stretch
out the system and show how it is continuous. The material used here is used to make the layering of the system more apparent.

	 The system and circulation between spaces influence how the
structure was formed. Vierendeel trusses are the main structural support
throughout the building, allowing for the spaces that the form creates to
be inhabited.
	 The form was generated using the same system as the facade. Each subdivision of quadrants, when
extruded, creates the floor plans within the building. The systematic grid was applied to the site to capture specific
views and then manipulated according to site circulation and the surrounding community. A central atrium becomes
the focal point of the building allowing for a specific type of office and market space. The very open first floor allows
for the market to extend out side and allows for street venders to inhabit the space as well. The building is meant to
be open, in the office it allows for a work space that is not compartmentalized but becomes very fluid and continuous
following the circulation of the building.

	 While studying abroad at the
Monteverde Institute we were faced
with the challenge of designing a waste
water treatment facility for the local
town. Costa Rica is known for its sus-
tainable initiatives, its diverse wild life,
and as an eco-friendly destination. To
maintain its position as this model coun-
try it must continue to protect its envi-
ronment and water table. Monteverde is
located at the top of the Río Guacimal
watershed. In this project we addressed
the important issue of water consump-
tion and distribution. By re-examining
current water consumption and waste-
water treatment practices we could in
turn help the nation achieve its goals
of carbon neutrality. With the increase
in tourism within Monteverde in the last
twenty years, the region has begun to
face a growth problem but also has a
great opportunity to educate locally and
on a large scale about the importance
of water and wastewater manage-
ment. The goal of this project was to
help the community in the initial re-
search and development of the facility.

	 With just four weeks our study
abroad group was asked to design and
help construct a stone retaining wall for
an outdoor class room that was already
in construction on the campus. Our sut-
dio designed a feasable and environ-
mentally friendly area that even began
to expand upon the outdoor classroom.

Powering Viscosity
Professor:
	 Bradley Wales
	 For this project we were given
a site along the busy Elmwood street
in down town Buffalo and were told to
create awork-liveurbanhousingcomplex.
The city thrives on culture. To promote
this I proposed an art based public
program. A glass blowing studio not
only allowed for a space for young
artist to work and live but also created
a theatrical element that could
contribute to the fabric of the Elmwood
strip. The furnaces necessary for glass
blowing run at very high temperatures,
approximately 2,400 degrees, and
run 24/7. The energy produced by the
furnaces could be captured by a
Tri-generation system to heat, cool,
and even power the building. Because
of the massive amount of energy pro-
duced energy and heat could be pro-
vided to surrounding buildings through
a District Heating System. The two cir-
culation cores of the building not only
represent the two furnaces but they also
contain most of the structure and me-
chanical systems for the apartments.
A fluid floor plan is created through
pushes for circulation and ventila-
tion, the two circulation cores become
objects with in this larger fluid form.

	 Here you can see the two main circulation cores
are emphasized in the structure diagram as well as the site
plan. The cores are masonry walls constructed with brick and
concrete. The brick would be from a local company to help
lower the transportation cost of the material as well as the
overall cost of the product. Brick was also chosen to empha-
size the idea of a furnace, original glass blowing furnaces
were large brick ovens with multiple openings. The hard, yet
warm, brick contrasts the exterior fluid double glass facade.
Each floor is constructed of structural concrete using steel to
create the fluid form and also contains radiant floor heating.

The bathrooms and kitchens became objects with in the
apartments the same way the circulation cores be came
objects with in the floor plan. The idea of having Bed Pods
instead of basic bedrooms worked well with idea of being
an object with in the space. By making the pods moveable
the artist could transform their own space. Each pod has
a hook so that it can be connected into the facade system
to a low for window access when the pod doors are shut.

	 The form of the house was
designed through kirigami, which is a
series of cuts and folds in paper to
create a form. The poem “The Mending
Wall” inspired the concept. The poem states
“good fences make good neighbors” the
idea behind this is the connection the wall
creates between the neighbors. Although
separating the two it still connects them.

A home is a place in which one feels comfortable in and can relax; a home is a welcoming enclosure. The design of this house was inspired by
the poem The Mending Wall where it is said that “good fences make good neighbors”. A fence or wall is an object that creates visual separation
but still connects two places. The design behind this building creates a physical separation from the public by being elevated off the ground but a
visual connection to its neighbors and the surrounding environment. The building also creates juxtaposition between what is interior and what is
exterior; the window starts to create a different meaning within the home. The window is not just a point from the inside to the outside but a point
between two spaces. The building allows for a flow of public circulation under the building and creates a passage way between the parks while
keeping the living spaces private and secluded enough to create a comfortable feeling with in the home. The form of the building was derived
through a series of cuts and folds to bring the living space up and elevated off the ground. The building uses precast concrete as a base and
support for the building. Each level becomes a prefabricated module. The different levels allow for a view point and hierarchy within the home.
The master bedroom is held at the highest level to allow for more privacy as well as a viewpoint from one end of the home to the other, making all
rooms visible from one single point. Creating this connecting view allows for a great space for a small family, with this layout the mother is able
see what is going on in the home at all times. This house begins to create a correlation between family, home, and exterior space. The building
begins to enhance the public space while keeping privacy for the occupant.

We startedwithasixbysixby eight foot mass, with this we had to create a space which had three sleeping spaces, circulation space, and the minimum of one en- trance.These programmatic neces- sities were developed through a Series of three cuts and shifts.First I designed the space to have a clear sleeping area. The second move I made was to create a circulation space with enough room to stand. The moves that I made broke up the mass into a very open circulation plan and individual sleeping areas.A tight entrance was made to create what seemedtobealargerinteriorspace.

Given specific dimensions of four different rooms we had to invoke a feeling with in them. With this I began to design a space that explored the directionality of a space through compression. This project then was developed into an Islamic Cultural Center for the Buffalo State College. The idea of directionality was then used to promote the progres- sion of prayer through the Mosque. Adding the idea of control to exaggerate the feeling of compression Using the compression and decompression of structural elements the per- son is pushed or directed through the space. Leading the user from one room to the next, creating the spatial experience of directionality. Islamic Cultural Center for Buffalo State

Circulating Divisions Professor: Jean Lamarche Given a site on University at Buffalo’s North campus we were tasked to design a new library that would encompass all of the current book collections that the school owned. The site was one of the only large green spaces left on the campus and when designing the library it was desirabletokeepasmuchgreenspaceas possible. The idea was that the building could become a transition from the infrastructure to the landscape. Library for the University at Buffalo

World Promenade Professor: Nerea Feliz The idea of the meridian allows for a natural transition between ecosystems and climates. As an organizational strategy it creates the possibility to view the linear connection and continuity the world climates encompass. By highlighting the meridian the user can become engaged with their surroundings.The Buffalo meridian, alone, does not allow for all of the plants the gardens wish to use. By observing the plants they have now I came up with two additional paths around the world, which also cross through buffalo. The building begins to express this idea of continuity in the form of a ramp. The ramp sym- bolizes a continuous architectural promenade through the climate zones. By twisting among themselves the ramps become enclosures for different climate zones in the building. The height that the ramp provides allows for different viewpoints and perspectives of the plants at two different scales. By highlighting the meridian the user begins to have a dynamic experience of the plants and places focused on along these paths. Erie County Botanical Garden Addition

The services like the kitchen and bathroom are located in the center of the space and the circulation and party space is located along the exterior. This opposition was created to allow for views from the event space out into the park. The event space has a direct axis with the entrance and is surrounded by the gardens but still is able to maintain privacy through a density of columns and buffer like courtyards.

This facade would later be used to create the form of a market and office space for the Pittsburgh Market District. Pittsburgh Market and Office Forming a new system by extracting ideas about grids, quadrants, colors, and the connection of center points. The new system discovered created a triangulated grid. The triangulated pat- tern creates unique qualities by creating a very distinct system using one shape which is repeated. The new pattern is an iteration of the original but not yet a transformation. To create a transforma- tion the original grid must be manipulated. A grid can be broken down into quad- rants, and this allowed for the new sys- tem to be controlled locally and globally. The flower, radiating lines, gra- dients of colors, central axis, and the con- nection of end points were all ideas which were examined to form a new system. The end points of the radiating lines were numbered according to distances from the center. The points were then con- nected in order from smallest to largest. What becomes intriguing about this pat- tern is that these precise rules created a seemingly random pattern. What this new system begins to lack is a way to further control and transform the pattern. By us- ing the grid and quadrants discovered in the previous textile studies, the system can be further modified to maximize its control. Ordering System Created from the combination of previous studies A catalogue of different size triangular shading de- vices were designed to allow for more shading. The protruded triangles followed the same original system.

    Structural Loading Bracket Connections Glass Mullions Truss MetalDecking The system and circulation between spaces influence how the structure was formed. Vierendeel trusses are the main structural support throughout the building, allowing for the spaces that the form creates to be inhabited. The form was generated using the same system as the facade. Each subdivision of quadrants, when extruded, creates the floor plans within the building. The systematic grid was applied to the site to capture specific views and then manipulated according to site circulation and the surrounding community. A central atrium becomes the focal point of the building allowing for a specific type of office and market space. The very open first floor allows for the market to extend out side and allows for street venders to inhabit the space as well. The building is meant to be open, in the office it allows for a work space that is not compartmentalized but becomes very fluid and continuous following the circulation of the building. 23

Costa Rica is known for its sus- tainable initiatives, its diverse wild life, and as an eco-friendly destination. To maintain its position as this model coun- try it must continue to protect its envi- ronment and water table. Monteverde is located at the top of the Río Guacimal watershed. In this project we addressed the important issue of water consump- tion and distribution. By re-examining current water consumption and waste- water treatment practices we could in turn help the nation achieve its goals of carbon neutrality. With the increase in tourism within Monteverde in the last twenty years, the region has begun to face a growth problem but also has a great opportunity to educate locally and on a large scale about the importance of water and wastewater manage- ment. The goal of this project was to help the community in the initial re- search and development of the facility.

    Powering Viscosity Professor: BradleyWales For this project we were given a site along the busy Elmwood street in down town Buffalo and were told to create awork-liveurbanhousingcomplex. The city thrives on culture. To promote this I proposed an art based public program. A glass blowing studio not only allowed for a space for young artist to work and live but also created a theatrical element that could contribute to the fabric of the Elmwood strip. The furnaces necessary for glass blowing run at very high temperatures, approximately 2,400 degrees, and run 24/7. The energy produced by the furnaces could be captured by a Tri-generation system to heat, cool, and even power the building. Because of the massive amount of energy pro- duced energy and heat could be pro- vided to surrounding buildings through a District Heating System. The two cir- culation cores of the building not only represent the two furnaces but they also contain most of the structure and me- chanical systems for the apartments. A fluid floor plan is created through pushes for circulation and ventila- tion, the two circulation cores become objects with in this larger fluid form.

    35 Here youcan see the two main circulation cores are emphasized in the structure diagram as well as the site plan. The cores are masonry walls constructed with brick and concrete. The brick would be from a local company to help lower the transportation cost of the material as well as the overall cost of the product. Brick was also chosen to empha- size the idea of a furnace, original glass blowing furnaces were large brick ovens with multiple openings. The hard, yet warm, brick contrasts the exterior fluid double glass facade. Each floor is constructed of structural concrete using steel to create the fluid form and also contains radiant floor heating. N Site Plan Elmwood

    Pod Design ts 39 Unit Aggregation Thebathrooms and kitchens became objects with in the apartments the same way the circulation cores be came objects with in the floor plan. The idea of having Bed Pods instead of basic bedrooms worked well with idea of being an object with in the space. By making the pods moveable the artist could transform their own space. Each pod has a hook so that it can be connected into the facade system to a low for window access when the pod doors are shut. Bed Pod

    Correlation Haiku House Dustin Albright Ufuk Ersoy The form of the house was designed through kirigami, which is a series of cuts and folds in paper to create a form. The poem “The Mending Wall” inspired the concept. The poem states “good fences make good neighbors” the idea behind this is the connection the wall creates between the neighbors. Although separating the two it still connects them.

    43 Site ParametersSite Plan DrainagePlan at 1/8” Concept Sketches + Diagrams A home is a place in which one feels comfortable in and can relax; a home is a welcoming enclosure. The design of this house was inspired by the poem The Mending Wall where it is said that “good fences make good neighbors”. A fence or wall is an object that creates visual separation but still connects two places. The design behind this building creates a physical separation from the public by being elevated off the ground but a visual connection to its neighbors and the surrounding environment. The building also creates juxtaposition between what is interior and what is exterior; the window starts to create a different meaning within the home. The window is not just a point from the inside to the outside but a point between two spaces. The building allows for a flow of public circulation under the building and creates a passage way between the parks while keeping the living spaces private and secluded enough to create a comfortable feeling with in the home. The form of the building was derived through a series of cuts and folds to bring the living space up and elevated off the ground. The building uses precast concrete as a base and support for the building. Each level becomes a prefabricated module. The different levels allow for a view point and hierarchy within the home. The master bedroom is held at the highest level to allow for more privacy as well as a viewpoint from one end of the home to the other, making all rooms visible from one single point. Creating this connecting view allows for a great space for a small family, with this layout the mother is able see what is going on in the home at all times. This house begins to create a correlation between family, home, and exterior space. The building begins to enhance the public space while keeping privacy for the occupant.
