DRAWN TOARCHITECTURE
My interest in architecture began with an awe for designed space. As I immersed myself in the field, my interests grew to encompass a desire to make a difference in society.
Architecture has the ability to transform our environment; I have the aspiration to transform each new space for the betterment of human experience.
Through continued learning, I will seek design techniques which create harmony between built form and natural beauty.

New Vistas Station
Programmatically the challenge was to combine a small public
gathering area with the workings of a passenger train station.
The site, at the center of Main St. in Anderson, SC, offers two
levels: A street level from which pedestrians can interact with the
site and a lower track level on which to board the passenger cars.
6
This project was a lesson in organizing spaces to connect both the main-street atmosphere of the site and the program of a small passenger station. Through the use of flowingly organic
and easily assessable spaces the public and the passengers are able to utilize the structure
to perform their respective tasks efficiently.
7
The upper level houses the facilities for a small street-side café. Passengers and pedestrians can snack on the terrace and catch glimpses of the trains pulling into the station. On the lower level, a large, open, well-lit waiting area is provided for travelers and guest.

Green Cycling
The challenge for this project: to engage the multilevel site with a bike depot capable of housing one thousand cycles and a greener living housing option for local residence.
The answer: three bike towers and stacked, modular housing units.
The bike towers serve not only as landmarks in the city of Clemson, SC, but as efficient storage and dispersal units for bicycles.
The stacked housing is oriented to allow the best views of the distant Blue Ridge Mountains as well as optimal sun lighting.

Expanding Horizons
The goal: broaden our horizons by increasing the scale of our architectural
experience. Instead of responding only to the program of a single building, the
objective now was to respond to the needs of an entire area. Not only must the site
respond to the city of Asheville, but to the larger western region of North Carolina.

Overview
A dense community center is surrounded by a lush botanical garden preserving
the wintegrety of the river
17
Living and Learning Art
Asheville has an expanding arts community with the need of a new area in which artist can collaborate and display their works. In order to become a hub of artistic creativity, the city also needs an institute of design based learning. Our group brought this to the site with a living and learning community center designed around the differing needs of artists as well as other community members.

19
Immitation on a Grand Scale
The community is designed to mimic the structures and programs found at a smaller scale. Encompassing green spaces, defining structural boundaries, and programming elements at this larger scale, the center is able to provide for the needs of its residents as well as the entertainment needs of the public visitors. Also seeking to be environmentally friendly, the area offers hydroelectric power as well as brown fill remediation for the existing contamination to the soil.

Collaborative Detailing
A group project based in Genoa, Italy takes the principles utilized in our previous experience and enhances them with a more technical view on assembly and structure. Working together with graduate students and structural minded professors, an understanding of the construction effort on the project is brought into focus.

Cross Section
The main verticle circulation (in yellow) is positionsed along one side of the structure allowing for an open floor plan as well as optimal lighting for all residential spaces.

Designed as a point of interest on one of the city’s main piazzas, the project encompasses
the program of both a small museum and residential housing. To maintain a
connection to the original city fabric, the new construction maintains the historic
footprint on its lower levels.
Preserving this footprint enhances the ability of these floors, which house the museum,
to control lighting for preservation. As the program changes to house the residential
space, the shape of the building is also adjusted. Peeling away from the original
footprint, the building allows for more natural lighting to enter the south façade.
24
STRUCTURAL BASED DESIGN...
An intricate louvering system was designed for the facade of the building. The louver design is not only aesthetic. The system becomes an integral component of the building structure.
25
...LANDMARK FOR PIAZZA
The façade is designed to make a statement in the urban fabric. With its vertically based
structure, the building stands as a work of art in the middle of the more horizontally based historic city center. As this point of
interests, the structure draws an audience to view the building as well as the collection
inside.

Shear Force Walls Glass Curtain Walls Structural Louvers
27
Combining Ideas
Combining the curtain walls with the louver structuring opens the building to natural lighting while allowing for privacy from the surrounding streets and structures.
The design comes together in a landmark as well as a functional public place for the citizens of Genoa.

PIN AND INK
Under the guidance of Professor Harry Harritos,
I learned multiple techniques for hand
drawing architectural material.
At the end of the semester I combined my
newfound knowledge into this rendering.
