The focus of this project was the distinc-tion between the Physical and the Intel-lectual programs of the building. The program replaces and expands upon the existing athletic facilities while integrat-ing a library and community learning facility that leverages the school adjacent to the site.
The design of the project splits the Physical and the Intellectual with a central passage between the athletic �elds and the school. This passage allows for casual viewing of athletic events inside.
Major gathering spaces in the project are de�ned by double height spaces and standing seam metal surfaces. More intimate program is de�ned by single height spaces and rough �nished concrete.
The Intellectual program of the library is described with curvilinear wood section that connects all major library activities.

MAD-Hex: Parasitic Community System
Design Team: David Evancho, Mohommod Alam, Xeudi Chen, Alejandra Obregon
Park Slope, Brooklyn
Our Design Team developed this project to activate the growing cultural and artistic community in the Park Slope and Gowanus neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York.
We designed for three creative community actions. Studio, Forum, and Performance. The parasitic architecture installations can be attached to the dead spaces of vacant warehouses, expressway underpasses, and blank walls along sidewalks, prevelent to the area.
The interactive system is made up of intelligent and adjustable OLED touch screen pannels. Interspersed between the screens are speakers with solar panels above to power the system. The power is stored below in the battereis adjacent to the processors that control the system.
Interspersed between the growing residen-tial Park Slope neighborhood and the shrinking Gowanus artist community the system facilitates connection between the two and promotes a more free form and less institutional form of and urban cultural center

Center For Advanced Learning, Rome, Italy
The Center for Advanced Learning and Research in Rome, is located on the Capitoline Hill. This site is possibly the most historicaly rich sight in the world. This area is the mortar between the “bricks” of nearby monuments. Currently the sight is only leftover space, with numerus retaining walls. The project required many different types of major program from Auditorium, Museum, and Think Tank.
The design attempts to recreate on a smaller scale, a collection of distrinctly diverse buildings. This also creates the opportunity to solve the same problem that effects the current site. What to do with the “mortar space” between the buildings? Therefore it was imperative to design an interesting and usefull circulation space between the major elements of program.Another focus of the project was to utilize the existing retaining walls and materials of brick and travertine in conjuction with new materials like litracon (semitransparent glass infused concrete) in the design.

$100K Vermont HouseCompetition for Residence under $100,000
This design was selected when “East End representatives chose to work with elements of designs by two students -- David Evancho and Amelia Golini.”The studio was approached by East End Builders to design a 1,000 sf House for under $100,000 in Ludlow Vermont. The challenge was to keep the cost low on the home, and to keep thbuilding architecturally interesting.
Streamlined design using tight zones and cores in the house were critical to keeping costs low.Smart choices on structure and mate-rial were also important in reducing the !nal price.Important to my design was the use of the Miracle Truss system that reduced the material needed for the walls of the home, and the elimination of a tradi-tional foundation in favor of concrete sono tubes for a signi!cant reduction in labor costs.Due to the Dimensions of the Miracle Truss system my design grew beyond the the 1,000 sf dimension, yet was still able to keep the cost below $100 psf.
