David Boira and I are partners this semester in a housing research design studio. In a somewhat related spin off, we are making this highly articulated yet completely de-calibrated furniture object. It is a piece that comes with no agenda other than encouraging the user to figure out their own potential uses by reconfiguring it into different spatial and performative organizations. It will be made from water-jet cut aluminum panels, cnc milled hinge plates, and automotive linear actuators.
Flow Disruption Site Plan
I'm trying to develop a site plan with a rhythmic, disrupted flow.
Animated Sweep
I'm in a great studio this semester with critics Chris Perry and Alisa Andrisek. I'm working on drawing space using animated sweeps in Maya.
My First Model
This is the first architectural model that I built at Columbia. It is a diagram of a proposal for an installation on Broadway as it meets Columbus Circle that I worked on in Yolande Daniels’ first year studio last semester. I was not very happy with it at the time, but with some distance I like it.
The Beginning
I'm Alex. I'm studying architecture at Columbia. This is my website.
