“Slice” - A 6’ Cubic Space

“Hikari” - Restaurant

“The Stitch Re-Imagined” - Urban Hub

“SLICE” Anywhere... Team: Jose Carpio, Quincy Smith Prof. Uddin Saleh

Fall 5th Year 2025 SLICE is a Transformable Pod that takes a 6’x6’ cubic volume and uses thoughtful subdivison to create 5 individual modules. 3 modules have collapsable chairs and tables. 1 module has a bench for group seating. 1 module has a rotating set of shelves that close to create a privacy wall. The overall concept of SLICE was to take the prescribed 6’x6’ volume and create an infinetly expandable and reorganizeable experiential dining and gathering space.

APPLICATIONS

Our design quite literally revolves around rotational movement to unfold the modules in expansion from the base cubic form. Rotation is further explored with the pin joint system of the chairs and table, which features both rotational and linear movement.

“HIKARI” 30/80/28 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta, GA 30060 Prof. Uddin Saleh

Spring 2nd Year 2022 “HIKARI” (Light) is a modern Japanese restaurant that celebrates japanese culture in a unique way. Representing Japa- nese culture we celebrate it’s strength with an exposed structure and dense materials such as steel and concrete, con- trasting, we represent it’s purity by bringing in light through an atrium skylight. Lastly, by creating green spaces, we further represent a “Zen” energy that symbolizes the nature of Japanese culture, giving the user an ultimate experience.

Marietta’s History

1850s–1864 – Railroad & War: The Western & Atlantic Railroad made Marietta a key hub, but during Sherman’s 1864 Atlanta Campaign the city was occupied and damaged, with the Square still serving as a gathering point. .

Early 1900s-80s Century – Rebuilding & Community Life: The Square was rebuilt with brick structures and a courthouse, becoming once again the commercial and social core, hosting markets, parades, and public gatherings.

Today – Historic District: Marietta Square is preserved as a vibrant historic district with shops, restaurants, museums, and year-round festivals.

1830s – Founding: Marietta Square (Glover Park) was established as the town center when Marietta became a planned city in 1834 .

01 . The Idea of Shifting Example, shifting geometries to create spaces that overlap for a unique quality to come in.

02. Lighting/Green Space A part of the diagonal mass extrudes and creates an opening facing south, this is to invite natural lighting and create the atmosphere for the restaurant.

03. Outdoor Space and Connections Outdoor Space is amplified by creating a divider that blocks the parking lot views and focuses on the connections to the square and railroad.

04. Circulation/Program These movements create a cross circulation in where kitchen and dining are seperated in a natural way, yet easy to move between them.

Spring 4th Year 2025 The Stitch Re-Imagined is a speculative urban proposal that reinterprets Atlanta’s future development through the design of a modern Urban Hub near the Civic Center MARTA station. Working at a macro scale, the project focuses on essen- tial urban strategies and integrates infrastructure, transit, and public space to reconnect fragmented areas of the city. By embedding mobility and civic programming into a unified framework, the proposal positions infrastructure as a catalyst for density, accessibility, and urban life. “THE STITCH RE-IMAGINED” Atlanta, GA Team: Marfier Garcia Prof. Micheal Carroll

Mapping Atlanta: Mapping what exists

and how it came to exist, giving us a notion of how to move forward with The Stitch Atlanta’s Infrastructure History

1830s Railroad Origins

1940s–1970s Interstate Expansion Highways reshaped Atlanta into a car dependent city, dividing neighborhoods and accelerating suburban growth.

1970s–Present MARTA Rail transit returned to the city, though limited regional participation constrained its impact.

Atlanta began as Terminus, the endpoint of a railroad line. Rail infrastructure created the city and established it as a transportation hub.

Early 1900s Streetcar Expansion

1950s–Present Aviation Hub Hartsfield-Jackson Airport positioned Atlanta as a global transportation center.

2000s–Present The BeltLine Former rail corridors were reused to reconnect neighborhoods through public space and mobility.

Streetcars enabled outward neighborhood growth while maintaining connections to the city center.

The Stitch Re-imagined

Solving the Puzzle: Grouping the blocks into typology sectors, mapping out buildings and roads to get a sense of the project

01 . Sketching Ideas Creating ideas of connections and functionality around the site.

02. Urban Plannings Developing the site for massings and populating the blocks with activities and sketching out logistics.

3. Solid / Void / Conncetion Subtracting for space, connecting for circulation.

1. Pedestal Setting up the space for adjacent massing to come alive.

2. Massing

Creating the forms through site restrictions and pedestal adjacency, postioning them naturally.

4. Setting Views Rotating and Subtracting voids for views and porosity for better breathing and connections.

5. Creating a Portal Bridging to create a portal to the new development and frame the space.

6. Skin

Tectonics and sustainable solutions for lighting and temperature control.

Birdhouse For the “Beautiful Box” project, we selected a bird species as a design precedent and translated its essence into a crafted artifact. I chose the owl for its quiet agility and refined elegance, using those qualities to guide the composition and ma - terial expression of the box. Repetition and contrast became central strategies. Mahogany elements repeat three times, referencing the owl’s silent, rhythmic movement in flight, while a birch crown-like form frames the box and evokes both feathers and talons in abstraction. Birdseye maple serves as the focal material, its rich and intricate grain contrasting the softness of birch and the depth of mahogany. Assembled through precise miter joints and intersecting connections, the final piece celebrates geometry, materiality, and craftsmanship, capturing the owl’s poised and intense character through form and detail.

Deconstructed Chair

In this exercise, we deconstructed a chair by taxonomizing its individual components and reassembling them within the constraint of a defined box. The goal was to repurpose its geometry while maintaining a conceptual link to the original object, arranging the elements tectonically to reveal its structural logic and balance. By emphasizing repetition, joinery, and weighted connections, the composition explores depth and spatial order in both two and three dimensions. The final arrangement abstracts the chair into a geometric study that celebrates its inherent lines and curves, allowing it to be rec- ognized not by function, but through the spatial relationships that once made it whole.
