Horizontal Integration
For the second half of the 502 studio, we were asked to design a park on a 170 acre post-industrial site on the North Delaware River, taking into consideration the larger urban context. My project builds on the existing shipping infrastructure, activating the site by receiving, storing and composting dredge material from the river. The dredged material is used to ...

Reactivating the In-Between
This studio was an exploration of scale, working from the regional to the city and down to specific interventions and designs. Our site was Camden, NJ, a complex and deteriorated urban environment: economically, socially and environmentally.
My analysis of the city showed that it has been abandoned by commercial retailers. In addition, distinct identifiable neighborhoods have grown in the areas ...

Calibrating Rhythms
Mumbai is a city that defies traditional conceptions of planning and design. Rather than view the city as a series of geographic territories or zones, I chose to examine it as a network of temporal flows, each with their own corresponding rhythms.
My study area was an section of the Mithi River between Mahim Junction and Bandra rail stations. This ...

ULI Urban Design Competition Finalist
“Interchange” turns the word’s meaning from its car-centric, space-wasting, and neighborhood-dividing connotations to a holistic vision of cultural, economic, and ecological living and working environments.

Operation Activoid: H2Woah!
The premise of this studio was to develop a design system for quarter acre vacant lots in Philadelphia based upon an environmental technology. My design dealt with water in various ways. At one level, a constructed wetland is strategically placed to intercept stormwater run-off. On top of this, a system of treeoids acts to collect rainwater, generate solar hot water ...

Gwanggyo Lakeside Park
I worked with a team at WRT on this competition for a new park in Gwanggyo, Korea. Gwanggyo Lakeside Park lies at the confluence of two regional watersheds - a receiving basin for the Mt. Gwanggyo water system. Over time, this water system has been modified to support human activity. A hydrological landscape once altered to create damned reservoirs for agricultural ...

First Prize: Fargo Urban Infill International Design Competition
The driving force behind our design was the belief that a true public space is accessible to all, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Creating a place like this in North Dakota means dealing with extreme variations in climate. A common strategy in extreme climates is to move the ...
