Cornell, Professor Aleks Mergold, 2021
/ In this project, my partner Oyin and I propose an undulating rib structure topped by an unifying roof for our prompt to create a hybridity center in New Orleans. Taking Le Fresnoy as our precedent, we apply further interactive strategies such as blending, bubbling and popping to mix all the programmatic ingredients of the urban scene together, and help the architecture relate to the site by dripping onto the streets as well as the Duncan plaza nearby.
