During a year long internship and study abroad in Rome Italy, I had the opportunity to do independent architectural research and design. I choose to design a project that would both use my research about how architecture affects early childhood development, while also addressing the social issue of refugees in Italy. With the help of one professor, I set up the parameters and designed a school for refugee children in Rome. The site is an abandoned lot on the intersection of Via Urbino & Via Cesena, near Re di Roma. The community has been trying to transform it into a community garden, but as of yet no one has been able to accomplish that. My proposal is to use part of the land as a community center (ground floor) and a school for refugee children (upper two floors). The rest of the land would be a community garden. The intent of the project is to create a space where both the community as well as refugees could come, interact, and feel safe. The entire project is built around the idea of "play". Refugees come from all around the world, with a wide variety of language and educational backgrounds, but every child can relate to play and in that, those boundaries are gone.The ground community level is very transparent, to try to draw people in, while the upper two school floors are closed off to the exterior for privacy as well as to draw the attention inward to play.

Based on the building type commonly found in the Alps, a mountain hut is a structure secluded in nature and serves both as a point of destination as well as a safe place to take a break from outdoor activities. Taking this idea, the mountain hut studio was situated in the national park of Mount Rainier, Washington and the point was to be accessible for skiers, hikers, and mountaineers. After investigating avalanches and mountain building types, we were given the choose of situating our hut in the basin, on the slope, or on the ridge. I choose to situate my mountain hut directly on a ridge, which frames views in different directions. The hut is made to be accessible almost all year round, however it does include an emergency hut which can be accessed if the large hut is closed due to severe weather. The hut includes a staffed kitchen, dining spaces, ski and boot storage, and bunk rooms that each hold four people.

In Italy, one of the biggest social issues is the high unemployment rate for young people. One field that continuously thrives is the manufacturing and craft of fashion. However, most young people are not drawn to this profession. The goal of this fashion institute project is to teach and inspire Italians to follow and proceed with the tradition of hand made craft. This building uses the ancient site of Porta Maggiore, a currently run down area, and creates a fashion institute which includes workshops, classrooms, exhibition spaces, cafe and fashion store. The project plays off of the idea of inside the wall, on the wall and outside the wall to create a sequence of spaces inside the building. Clothing is made and designed inside, exhibited through and on the wall, and sold outside.

The project criteria for this studio was to create a food emporium in South Lake Union. The area around the site is becoming increasingly populated with the new construction such as the Amazon Campus. The food emporium is designed to celebrate food and cooking and does not only include a market, but also provides cooking classes and demonstrations as well as sells prepared food. The concept of the building is to go from quick/rushed food (at the bottom) and increase up to slow/relaxed food (at the top). The first floor is the rushed food area and has a large outdoor covered area which is designed to house various food trucks for people who want to grab a quick bite to eat as well a cafe. The next two middle floors are the casual food floors which include market stalls and vendors. The top floor is the relaxed food zone which consists of a sit down restaurant. The areas which celebrate food, including the cooking class, demo room and restaurant kitchen pass through the floors so they can be observed from above and below. All the floors are tied together by a large food shelf, which shows what is sold on each floor.

Every Spring the UW Department of Architecture offers a Neighborhood Design/Build studio led by Steve Badanes and Jake Labarre. The studio is made up of undergraduate and graduate students and with the help of the professors, the students go through an entire design and construction process for a non-profit project. I was selected as one of the undergraduates to participate in the Spring 2015 Design/Build Stu-dio, where our goal was to design the world’s greatest urban preschool greenhouse and garden. Our client was The Woodland Park Community School, who wanted to optimize the amount of food to grow on the cam-pus so that the children could take part in the learning and growing process. The finished project includes a 10’ x 12’ greenhouse, planter beds, growing space, chalkboard walls and surfaces, security fence and gateway entrance.
