My Courses
ARCH3590 Intro to Computation and Fabrication FA19
This course is an introduction to parametric computational design and digital fabrication. Grasshopper, a Rhino plug-in, will be used as a primary digital modeling tool. Students will learn how to use the tool, how to work with algorithms, and how to utilize them for architectural design projects. The course will also explore the qualities of basic materials such as paper, wood, concrete, and plastics in the context of computational design and digital fabrication thinking and techniques.
ARCH 2321 History of Architecture 1900 to Present
This course involves a comprehensive study of architects, buildings, and architectural movements from the turn of the last century until the present day. Architecture is explored in relationship to the concurrent artistic, philosophical, historical, and technological contexts.
Intermediate Computation and Fabrication (ARCH 3690 | Spring 2019)
This course, the second in the digital fabrication certificate sequence (following ARCH3590) focuses on the development of parametric tools and digital prototyping techniques and practice. Beginning from the study of precedents of modern architectural fabrication—both digital and non-digital– the course will develop a comprehensive understanding of exemplary construction and tectonic systems, as well as allowing students to develop a proficiency in applying this knowledge in constructing associative/parametric digital models that utilize tools to generate alternative variations of these systems. An integral part of the course involves the study of parametric modeling in Rhino 3D, Grasshopper, and Paneling Tools. The output of the course will be a digitally modeled and fabricated panel, with paneling systems involving complex curvatures. Students will have come away from the course with digital and material models, and documentation of the structural characteristics of the materials and fabrication techniques used.
This design course covers a range of urban and architectural design issues and the cultural aspects in the development of cites. As an advanced design class, this course incorporates previous studio and lecture coursework to tie together topics of urban planning, architectural design, environmental sustainability, urban infrastructure and historic preservation.
ARCH 1210 | ARCH 1291 DESIGN FOUNDATION II | VISUAL STUDIES II
Design Foundation and Visual Studies are integrally linked courses. Many of the projects feed on the knowledge derived from the paired course. This site contains course assignments, student work examples, resources, and readings.
My Projects
City Tech’s Source for Academic Affairs Information
The CUNY Service Corps will mobilize CUNY students, faculty and staff to work on projects that improve the short and long-term civic, economic and environmental sustainability of New York City and of its residents and communities. The program’s goals are three-fold: for students to make a meaningful difference through service while gaining valuable real-world work experience, earning a wage, and where appropriate, receiving college credit; for faculty members and staff, through their work with students in the program, to have additional opportunities to apply their expertise to addressing many of the city’s key challenges; and for residents, communities, and project sponsors to realize concrete benefits as a result of CUNY Service Corps projects.
The website for the College Research Council.
The City Tech STEM-H TC2 Hub’s mission is to provide training and recognition of professional development achievements relevant to in-demand skills from STEM and Health fields, by offering and promoting Certifications and Digital Badges. TC2 stands for Technical Certifications and Training Center. The STEM TC2 HUB provides flexible access to resources for building skills—and credentials—outside of the time-place-bound of a traditional classroom setting.
City Tech was awarded a US Department of Education Title V grant, STEM Success Collaborative (2021-2026).
My Clubs
City Tech Women Engineers Club
The mission of the City Tech Women Engineers Club is to promote awareness and interest in improving the enrollment, retention and graduation rates of women in the technology programs at New York City College of Technology, as well as develop leadership skills through workshops, seminars and student collaboration. lnstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Women in Engineering (WIE) student branch at CityTech invites all interested students to join the Openlab club. Joining IEEE WIE student chapter is optional. We provide support, information and resources to all members to help them succeed in their engineering technology field of interest.
Computer Systems Technology Colloquium
The Computer Systems Technology (CST) Colloquium is dedicated to providing the students, staff, and faculty of New York City College of Technology, the City University of New York, and the greater public with access to information regarding the latest developments in computing from both a research and industrial perspective. We strive to schedule speakers that have a prominent influence in the computing field and that can engage our audience to have a deeper understanding and passion for computers, software engineering, programming languages, networks, and other topics.
