ONONDAGA STATE PARK, SYRACUSE | 2009

Located directly on Onondaga Lake within the State Park, this project employs several sustainable and passive systems to support its purpose as a center for pollution control and environmental education. Firstly, the roof is de-signed to direct rainwater and snow cover to PDQDJHUXQRIIDURXQGWKHODNHDQGOWHULWIRUuse within the building. Secondly, the roof is lined with Prism Solar PV paneling as the main source of energy.

These two elements are also used together as a design opportunity: the water is directed through transparent water containers within various parts of the building, the special PV panels have an irridescent quality that breaks up the sunlight into rainbow patterns, and the result is a series of features scattered through-out the building that play with the water and colored light for a magical effect. This design move is meant to take a positive spin on the heavy precipitation levels of the Syracuse climate, making the park enjoyable even in perceivably gloomy weather.

SYRACUSE, NY

Standardized Units, each with proportionate parking and out-door space, can be placed into any suburban lot, or stacked within a residential tower for a new take on housing in an urban context. The tower creates a vertical, pseu-do-suburbia with levels that can act as neighborhoods, and each XQLWZLWKWKHEHQHWRISHUVRQDOparking and outdoor space.

In the heart of the Old City, this public museum is meant to bridge the old and new cultures, and provide a pocket of open space in the dense urban fabric. The exterior is composed of several hanging screens for a unique projected facade that may contrast or complement the ancient context, advertise the contents of the museum, and even play public screenings of the evenings soccer match.
