Finalist project of ONE PRIZE Competition: Smart Dock 2014
Brooklyn, NY, USA
In collaboration with Lindsay Harkema
Public space activation, architectural installation, furniture design
Breaking Lab was a Finalist design proposal for the of ONE PRIZE Competition: Smart Dock working across city, building, and team scales to create spaces that respond to identity, collaboration, and community. Conceived as a proposal for ONElab new space, the project amplified its role as an innovation hub by transforming not just its workplace but also its presence in the wider city. Through adaptable structures, shared gathering spaces, and visual markers, the design made the organization more visible, flexible, and connected. This project reflects my ongoing interest in how architecture can operate simultaneously at multiple scales to address practical needs while strengthening collective identity and fostering inclusive, resilient communities.
