SOCK DRAWER
SOCK DRAWER
fall 2019
What could possibly be more novelty than novelty socks? Maybe the box in which they arrive. The inspiration for this concept was Hello Socks, a brand of Swedish novelty socks. Their boxes are fun but didn’t quite match up to the absurdity of the actual item. The box proposal has legs that can be popped out and a handle, so the box itself can actually be transformed into a little dresser for just (3 pairs of) novelty socks.

MAS NYC
Spring 2018
Studio 3.1
This semester-long project adopted Worth Square in NYC, opposite of the famous Flatiron Building. The small triangular condition with a preexisting monument off of Madison Square Park made for an incredibly challenging site for a 300ft building proposal.
The goal was to create a headquarters for the MAS (the Municipal Arts Society), as well as to program a museum and library. As the MAS is primarily a “preservation” society, I chose to focus my attentions on the untold history of Manhattan: the marginalization and mistreatment of indigenous peoples, immigrants, and minorities.
The biggest regret I have looking back on this project is that of the ground level atrium. One of the main issues addressed in this project was how to adopt a preserved space without privatizing it, which is the exact consequence of my design on the preexisting condition, which holds a small Civil War monument. If I were to return to this scheme, that would be my first design priority.
