Safari 7 Reading Room The “Safari 7 Reading Room” is an exhibition that presents a series of 3D maps, audio listening stations, curated reading materials, and a series of large-scale drawings of animal habitats, behaviors and life cycles in relationship to urban culture and history at selected sites along the MTA No. 7 line. This exhibition is opening in conjunction with GSAPP's ECOGRAM II: Architecture for a Crowded Planet conference. The reading room was exhibited at Studio-X, a downtown studio for design and research run by GSAPP. For my part, I worked with Steven Garcia to design and fabricate a series of audio tables shaped like different neighborhoods in Queens. Various map data—wetlands, roads, topography, tree cover, parks—were milled into the tables to recognize the diverse ecosystmes throughout Queens. Caption |

Core Architecture Studio 2: The Museum of Delineation/MOD: Micro/Meso/Macro Delineation Mabel Wilson, critic. Located between the New Museum and the Bowery Mission, our studio was to design a museum for the housing and display of digital and new media art. The concept was driven by intensive research on border conditions and formally through the study of a chosen module which was accumulated into studies of collected form. The first half of the semester revolved around the study of the module (in my case a small, metal plate) and the second half was dedicated to resolving the formal and conceptual research into a final project. Each student was charge with creating an open program space of their choosing, mine was an electronic archive of digital detritus taking cues from the Dead Media Archive, 2001 a Space Odyssey and the breakdown of personal/public art.

Make it Work: Engineering Possibilities As part of the Make it Work exhibition the Avery Digital Fabrication Lab designed and constructed a series of structural, space frame truss walls that could undulate and be covered with various materials. The walls were on display throughout the Center for Architecture in New York. Caption |

Core Architecture Studio 1: Atmosphere Keith Kaseman, critic. Core studio 1 was broken into three related exercises. The first was a drawing project tracing the process of a liter of frozen water melting and studying its atmospheric conditions. The second project was an atmosphere monitoring station designed to be deployed in various environments, mine was designed to rest on a glacier and then fall into the ocean as the glacier receded. The final project was located in Manhattan and was an environmental research center. The concept was to gently antagonize the driving public through mild building intrusions. Caption |

Denver: The Urban Forest Project During two weeks in mid-October, 2007, Denver hosted its own Urban Forest Project. The Urban Forest Project was conceived by Worldstudio in conjunction with AIGA NY and Times Square Alliance. Each designer began with the form, idea, or character of a tree and was asked to explore an issue they thought was pressing or an idea they found entertaining or intriguing. The Denver project used the same project brief and featured 48 banners created by local designers and students. Caption |

AIGA 50 Books, 50 Covers Exhibition Each year AIGA holds and exhibition in their 5th Avenue gallery to display the winners of their annual 50 Books 50 Covers competition. I worked with Glen Cummings, Jeff Lai, and Yi Chun Wu to create the exhibition. The books were arranged around the gallery on vintage school desks. Covers were arranged on the wall towards the back of the gallery. There was a large video installation playing on a wall of TVs that showed a pair of hands doing various "book" activities—opening, closing, turning pages, etc. Interspersed within the video were questions for the gallery goers to think about while perusing through the books. The exhibition won awards from AIGA and the Art Directors Club. Caption |

Sundance Channel Commercials TV commercials to advertise an Interactive TV show on the Sundance Channel. Each spot is broken down into three parts: introduction, instruction, and emulation. We took the idea of "interactive TV" and had people in the commercials interacting with their TVs in ways they never actually would. Art directed by Glen Cummings Caption |
