‘The United States of America: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave’
This piece was created in February 2024 in response to my growing concerns with the state of the American political and social justice systems. The previous summer, I read No More Police: A Case for Abolition by Mariame Kaba and Andrea J. Ritchie. The book significantly influenced my understanding of our modern criminal justice system, particularly the […]
‘The Worms’
In 2021 the EPA released a report stating that heavy precipitation is an indicator of climate change. Tracking rainfall from 1910 to 2020, they wrote “In recent years, a larger percentage of precipitation has come in the form of intense single-day events.” Rising temperatures amplify Earth’s water cycle, leading to intense rain, storms, and flooding.

I created a visual and written record […]

Community Center 01 (Fall 2022)

The design was guided by the surrounding environment where brownstones have private front yards and courtyards, even on atypical sites where green space was negotiated into the site, pictured below. The community center brings this to the community through […]
The Subterranean Theater (Fall 2022)
Located in Syracuse, NY the Subterranean Theater resides mostly below ground level. Its structure is dug into the ground and connects to the site’s original landscape, similar to my precedent study on Peter Zumthor’s Zinc Mine Museums. One of my goals in this project was to preserve the site’s usability. Instead of the building being […]
Study on Nick Cave’s Soundsuits x Peter Zumthor’s Zinc Mine Museum (Fall 2022)
This project studied Peter Zumthor’s Zinc Mine Museum. Zumthor was commissioned to revamp the already existing zinc mines. He developed simplistic buildings “inspired by the mining operation […] and the workers’ strenuous everyday lives” (ArchDaily). Laminated wood holds the main structure. The all-black exterior and interior resemble a gallery and does not take away from […]

The surrounding site and its buildings are on a box-like grid, with typical rectangular buildings built throughout the neighborhood. The Art Incubator juxtaposes the box-like form of its neighbors with […]
