He advises clients on evolving educational policies and facility programming and has led master planning efforts and designed buildings on many campuses. In 2003-2004 he was involved in a housing competition intending to address the common issue in cities of high density and low density affordable housing with a plan that encourages the diffusion and diminishing of social and ethnic stress in neighborhoods in transition. The scheme was premiated perhaps because it had both clear social objectives, fresh architectural presence (yet buildable) and the sustainable design that hinged on a "breathing" weather-mediating porch/winter-garden for each apartment. This caught the attention of developers as it was both rentable space and an energy saving source of heating and cooling. We are also heavily involved with the design of public schools in NYC in communities where the school house becomes THE 24/7 civic center, a public place and safety net for all.
