Flagship Retail Design
The proposed series of flagship retail shopfronts in Manhattan explores innovative urban integration through varied façade treatments including vector-based panels, tessellations, and dynamic curved geometries. Each design responds thoughtfully to the city’s vibrant streetscape by balancing bold brand expression with contextual sensitivity. Vector-based panels create abstract, digitally-crafted patterns that animate the façade with shifting light and shadow, while tessellated surfaces introduce modular depth and texture adaptable to both flat and curved planes. Curved geometries soften street edges and enhance visual flow, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior to invite engagement. Together, these elements... More

Green Stadium Design Series
The architectural concept for a series of large sports stadium mega-structures envisions curved, dynamic forms that seamlessly integrate expansive green spaces, lush gardens, and multi-level terraces to create sustainable, regenerative environments. These stadiums embody a new model where the energy and movement of sport converge with restorative natural landscapes to enhance user experience, environmental responsibility, and social engagement.

Green Terminal Design
VisionThe proposed series of mega-structures for transportation terminals reimagines travel—transforming utilitarian hubs into living, dynamic ecosystems. These designs center around the seamless integration of architecture and nature, celebrating curved, flowing forms that evoke movement while cultivating vast, lush garden spaces. The result is a new paradigm for large-scale terminal environments: sustainable, restorative, and human-centric.

AI Micro to Macro
Small / Medium / Large / Extra-LargeThis is an examination of the latent potentials in form finding and material morphologies using AI. The concept is to begin with a small abstraction or sculpture and use artificial intelligence to add assemblage information to the base sculpture to transform it into a house and even greater scales using the same tectonic language. The base sculpture, like a seed has within its design logic elements of expression and dynamism. As a sculpture it is expressed as an aerodynamic body with curves, angles, pleating, torquing, and envelope cavities. These properties are inherent in shelter with many variations and conditions to adapt and respond, based on location and site restraints.

AI House Design
AI house design is based on parameter inputs that build cross reference relationships between two opposing images. The idea is to merge two different objects and morph them into one single object. By doing so the artificial intelligence is able to take the formal properties of the two objects and integrate them into an architectural language.
MA2
Since the AI image is essentially an impression or 2D painting, it currently lacks the three-dimensional qualities required for architectural proposals. However, it makes an excellent guide for conceptualization and aesthetic development. The AI house is a study that begins with conceptualization and concludes with an architectural aesthetic proposal.

AI Synthetic Architecture
An investigation into the latent potentials of artificial intelligence led to a series of tests, case studies, and prototypes of AI tectonics. The current open platforms for AI image creation operates from word descriptions alone, as opposed to architectural 3D modeling, and or coding surface parameters. This leaves the operator with flat images or AI impressions based on descriptions with extraordinary results of the unexpected. The unexpected results are the most intriguing aspect of this new paradigm. As designers test the limits of AI’s imagination and complex image compositions, new possibilities never seen before are emerging. These images are from large data sets in which the AI is able to reference and stitch together, creatin... More

Hyperloop Campus
The Hyperloop campus is a vision of future transit and research facilities. An architectural synthesis of aerodynamic fluxes, morphing the tectonic body into a series of hyperbolic folds and double curvatures. A hybrid structure with flexible spaces and grand ceiling heights for prototyping. The main building proposal includes a transit station, residential apartments, classrooms, engine research center, exhibition areas, laboratories, offices, and lecture hall.
The residential portion sits at the southeast end of the headquarters as a double shelled enclosure. This is to provide a tent like approach to shield the residential housing from excessive sun and heat. The residential apartment sits within the shell structure with open edge... More
Super Yacht Design
The Super Yacht design is a study into large scale creasing effects and aerodynamic folds to create pleating with accentuated curvatures. The concept is to provoke dynamic speed and torque with its appearance and spatial qualities. In elevation, the design appears to shift with concave and convex curvature, highlighting vector forces as part of its appearance in acceleration. More
Notre Dame Cathedral Roof & Spire Design
Notre Dame Cathedral Design ProposalThe design of the roof and spire is inspired by Catholic symbology and gothic architecture, synthesized and articulated by contemporary tectonics and technological details of assembly. The idea is to respect the function of the cathedral and preserve its symbolic art and architecture in the current design. In this respect Norte Dame is a historical and cultural structure that also houses Christian relics; fragments of the crown of thorns, nails of the crucifixion, and other instrumental relics as part of tradition, heritage, and Catholic history. This is significant in the representation of tectonic language and aggregation of structural arches. The design proposes a glass roof structure that is articulat... More
