01 MIDDLE SCHOOL
Project : Spring 2025
Instructor : Theoharis David
The design adopts a stepped and terraced form to express growth, transition, and exploration within the educational journey. Layered levels organize a range of learning, social, and communal spaces while encouraging movement and interaction throughout the building. The fluid geometry softens the institutional character often associated with schools, creating an environment that feels dynamic, welcoming, and engaging. This approach intends to support curiosity, collaboration, and adaptability, offering students a more inspiring and connected place to learn together.
This physical model explores cascading hexagonal masses, reflec ting the diverse urban scale of the neighborhood. Textured facades and d ynamic terraces emphasize movement, layering, and spatial rhythm withi n a school environment.
02 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Project : Fall 2025
Instructor : Sulan Kolatan
The project adopts the modular strategy inspired by Beirut Terraces to create stepped urban terraces that reimagine housing density in Bushwick. By stacking and offsetting modular units, the design introduces layered communal spaces and terraces that foster interaction while optimizing light and ventilation. This approach increases density without compromising spatial quality, offering a sustainable and inclusive model for addressing New York's housing crisis and promoting high-quality community living.

03 THE ARCHITECTURAL HYBRID
Project : Sp ring 2025
Instructor : Sandra Nataf
The project began with creating 2D drawings derived from a selected chunk of Higgins Hall at Pratt Institute. These drawings were then hybridized with poche elements extracted from various objects. This hybrid plan was further developed into a three-dimensional chunk, which served as the foundation for constructing an expanded sectional drawing, exploring spatial relationships and material transitions through layered interpretation and architectural representation.
Th expanded plan drawing is a hybridization of a selected chun k from Higgins Hall with poche elements extracted from 2D object drawi ngs, exploring spatial and formal integration.
04 ARTIST’S RESIDENCE
Project : Fall 2024
Instructor : Olivia Vien
The design illustrates the seamless integration of the object with the existing structure, forming a unified and cohesive shell. The precise alignment of the floor plates emphasizes a sense of nesting, creating a dynamic interplay between the layers while reinforcing the overall coherence and harmony of the form. The field drawing is designed to disrupt the linear flow of the montage by introducing a diagonal pattern that breaks the linearity, creating a sense of balance between the scaled-up and scaled-down elements. The diagonal arrangement also emphasizes the curves of the linear design by repeating them at varying scales.

05 SYSTEM OF ASSEMBLIES
Project : Fall 2024
Instructor : Gary Polk
The concept was to create a hybrid by combining 2D drawings of various thresholds with the 2D representation of a 3D object. This fusion resulted in a dynamic composition, culminating in a curvy shell and core design. The process involved exploring the intersection of spatial thresholds and forms, translating them into a cohesive visual language. The outcome balances the fluidity of curves with structural intent, showcasing how two-dimensional elements can inform and shape a three-dimensional perspective. This approach not only emphasizes the interplay between forms but also highlights the potential of hybridized drawing techniques to inspire innovative architectural concepts.
EXPLODED HYBRID DRAWING
These elevation drawings from SoHo, New York, showcase cast-iron architecture's classical proportions and ornate details, emphasizing architectural thresholds that reflect the rich heritage of lower Manhattan's historic urban fabric.
06 WORKING DRAWINGS
Project : Fall 2023
Firm : The Architecture Story
Working drawings translate the architectural design into precise technical documents used for construction. They communicate dimensions, materials, structural systems, and building assemblies so that contractors and consultants can accurately execute the project. In this project, plans, sections, and detailed drawings illustrate the spatial organization, structural framework, and material connections. These drawings ensure coordination between different building systems while maintaining the design intent. Overall, the working drawings demonstrate how the project can be realistically constructed through clear, accurate, and buildable documentation.
