Miscillaneous Projects

Bottom left and right: iterative models for an apartments, art studio and gallery mixed-use design in Philadelphia, third year of architecture school.
Below: class assignment, second year of architecture school. I was shorlisted for a Buildner architecture competition to design a birdhouse. The two angles of my approach were simplicity and flexibility. Simplicity is not merely a design language here, it’s the ability to mass produce and mass-install birdhouses across a country. Maybe if it caught on this trend would be called by the internet, ‘wild birdhousing.’ The flexibility is achieved through adjusting the distance between upper and lower cones. This allows the birdhouse to be shipped anywhere in the world, and adjusted for a certain bird species - and against certain predators. I wish that I had designed this later in my school career, to have made a model and some better drawings.
