HYDROSENSUS 2.0

04/26/2010 - 12:19 pm

The Operative HydroSensus (OHS) project is designed to establish a new relationship between urban residents and their public waters. The OHS is a floating platform that combines bio-mimicry components to improve water quality with sensory technology that measures improvement and broadcasts it on multiple channels. Through a framework of communication and education the OHS will create a way for users to ‘talk to the river’ – receiving immediate information and understanding the effects that changes in the built environment such as catchment basins and green roofs can have on the health of the urban ecosystem.

The HydroSensus project is developed in collaboration with Jenny Chen-Cheng Chou.

i-SHED

12/28/2009 - 3:19 pm

The i-SHED was submitted to the urbanShed International Design Competition organized by The New York City Buildings Department, AIA New York Chapter and additional partners. The competition called for a new design for the standard NYC construction shed.
A new urban typology, the i-SHED enriches the pedestrian experience. It encourages us to inhabit a previously undesirable space by providing light, water, and a growing range of amenities on the go.

The i-SHED was designed in collaboration with Sylvie Blondeau, Asli Erdem and Chi Ying Shen.
