ARCH. PORTFOLIO // 2025

Hi, I’m Shane. I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in architecture at NJIT, currently battling through my 4th year studio. I am passionate about all fields of design and the ways it can be used to shape experiences and environments, and I most appreciate architecture as a medium to explore these opportunities. I am far more interested in the creative/conceptual side of design, but I do understand that technical knowledge, in both hard and soft skills, is the limit to these creative ideas, and I work hard to make sure one side is never out pacing the other.

I have a particular interest in graphics and typography design and I often try to implement them into my architectual projects and representation. I don’t think it’s always incredibly successful, but I much prefer to fail at making work that excites me rather than succeed at something I know will work.

As part of a housing redevelopment plan in Newark, NJ, this project works to establish itself as an inspiration and precedent for future development along the river that encourages innovative and creative implementation of renewable energies.

The heavier, angular structural elements are inspired by the hydrostation on the Passaic River - and like the hydrostation, they serve to support the expressive energy sources: solar panels, water catchment and filtration systems, and vertical farming capsules.

The solar panels on the NE facade exist on a rail system that allow them to double as functional solar panels and a visual buffer between the NE housing units and the high traffic street.

Between the units, water caught from rain is filtered and dispersed to each one, with a fraction of it designated to water the crops on the vertical farm system.
