Design Studio 7, RPI - HUDSON AQUIFERS These are the digital visualizations from my final proposal for a theoretical deconstruction–reconstruction of the abandoned Albany Central Warehouse. Hudson Aquifers reimagines the site as a public, ecological, and infrastructural convergence that reconnects Albany to the Hudson River—long divided by I-87 and other boundaries. The project collects, purifies, and stores river water for distribution and disaster relief, returning the rest to the Hudson through an accessible, transparent process. In a city of monuments, this proposal asks: why not monument critical infrastructure? Why hide it from public access? The renderings explore these ideas through bold colors and playful geometries that invites one's curiosity.

Independent Study Experience, RPI - LA PLAZA-BAZAR These are the digital visualizations from a personal design study completed during my Independent Learning Experience through RPI, reimagining Santiago’s Plaza de Armas — the city’s historic center and one of its busiest commuter hubs. The proposal redefines the plaza by dedicating more space to street vendors while improving access to the metro, creating a cohesive public realm that preserves its cultural significance. Excavated spaces below the square open into a modern bazaar, where vendors and commuters converge beneath two parametric pavilions rising from the plaza’s excavated perimeter. The visualizations take on a diagrammatic tone, emphasizing the proposal’s role as a civic infrastructure formed by the overlap of formal and informal economy.
