Site-specific neon light installation for 4,300 sf lobby in Life-Science building at 125 West End Avenue, New York, NY, USA; Art installation to be fabricated from 483’ of neon glass tubes. Design proposal 2020

The overarching idea for this lighting art installation is to address and recreate the idea of motion; the freedom of movement; the ever changing and evolving character of science evolution, research and discovery. The installation’s idea of movement emerged simultaneously from analyzing current dynamic life-sciences tenant program as well as it took cues from the original building’s designation as 400,000-square-foot auto plant for Chrysler Motor Company with its characteristic architecture, ramps, helix volume, etc.

New York by Gehry at 8 Spruce Street is considered a signature project by architect Frank Gehry in New York. The residential building is designed to be 76 stored, glass and crumpled stainless steel skinned tower atop a six-store masonry podium that accommodates a public school. The development includes also new public open space, and an ambulatory care center for the adjacent NY Downtown hospital.

It also houses a much needed 100, 000 SF kindergarten -trough - 8th grade public school PS 397. This is a SCA project. I was the Senior Designer for the project at Swanke Hayden Connell Architects. The 630 seat school occupies the lower floors of the tower and has an access to a public plaza on the east side of the building. There is a second public plaza on the west side of the building. Both plazas are bringing welcome public green space to the neighborhood. The Spruce Street School has won an Award of Honor for Interior Design by SARA for 2012.

Gimme Shelter Ideas Competition for Urban Shade, Phoenix, Arizona, 2009

Design brief: Designers are urged to invent new forms for built shade. Beauty, scale, functionality and durability are essential criteria. Designers should consider how southern, western, eastern overhead and low-angle (late day/early morning) exposures require different forms and approaches. Designers should also consider the merits of combining built shade with living shade. Designers should propose materials that minimize the transmission of heat, both from the shelter and from the surrounding ground. The use of sustainable materials is also encouraged. Materials and finishes should be durable, easy to maintain and graffiti resistant. The integration of solar panels in the design is encouraged where appropriate. The City is seeking ideas both for streetscape shade and for open spaces, such as parks.
