I am currently a M.Arch student at Penn State University. My work and interests are characterized by an advanced and a practical knowledge of computerized techniques. My specialties include digital fabrication, parametric modeling, and robotics. These skills have supplemented my projects to have highly technological attributes, all of which are well thought-out in detail.
Goshow Architects, New York, NY, US, Intern
GA is an architecture firm specializing in public work such as educational, institutional, utility, and transportation projects, in New York City and New York State. As an intern, my work included (but was not limited to) preparing design and construction documents for New York agencies in all phases of design, communicating with engineers and other design consultants, BIM modeling in Revit, drafting in AutoCAD, product research and selection based on project specifications, and performing site surveys.
The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), State College, PA, US, MArch, Masters of Architecture
The M.Arch program at Penn State is a professional program which trains its students to be effective and competent in practical architecture, applicable to real-world design problems. In addition, my elective coursework focuses on more advanced techniques and experimentation in digital fabrication and responsive design (using robotics). My thesis work is in automated logistics, merging with urban public space.
University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, US, Bachelors, Architecture, Bachelor of Science
The Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning trained me with primarily through intensive studio courses including comprehensive and competition studios. In addition, they offer a wide variety of peripheral required courses and electives. These courses supplement the design studio, by teaching us about design techniques and practices, technical building elements, and architectural theory.
Monteverde Institute, Monteverde, CR, Sustainable Futures
The Sustainable Futures program at the Monteverde Institute is a summer study abroad program which works in collaboration with the University at Buffalo and University of Delaware. For 10 weeks, students live in Costa Rica, and are involved with the community in sustainable design projects. It is a fast-paced program which engages students in client communication to design projects with a heavy focus on ecological sensibility.
Makers in Residence Fellowship, Scholarship
This fellowship is given to students who have demonstrated a strong ability for physical making, usually in a particular area or technique of fabrication. The Fellows coordinate and host a short series of creative workshops in the Bernard M. Gordon Learning Factory at Penn State. I chose to make my workshops about lighting design, and taught techniques of building lamps, wiring, and programming LED lights.
Corbelletti Design Charrette - 1st prize, 1st Place
This annual competition is open to all students of the Stuckeman School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Graphic Design. Students are to respond to an imaginative design prompt using the media prescribed. All submissions are reviewed by a jury, and the winners are selected based on their ability to represent a creative solution to the prompt. Winners were awarded with scholarship funding.
