er
2nd Year Design Studio
The Observation Tower was designed with the ability to enjoy surrounding views at many diff erent elevations. The form is infl uenced by moments to view the sky, the distance, and the ground. The tower has a glass elevator for easy viewing, stairs with many landings, to allow viewing at one’s own pace, and hollow columns for draining roof rain and adding another element for occupants.

The Quad creates a complete educational environment. It includes a library, art gallery, residence with work space, and public parking. It would allow for students and faculty members to have all required buildings for education with-in a short travel distance.

The design of the Learning Center began with creating form without measurements. The initial form came from understanding the site and its surroundings.

While constructing a detailed model for the Center, there was a conscious eff ort to assemble it in a way it can also be disassembled for further understanding of systems and connections.

5th Year Thesis Studio
Cantilever and Urban Intervention
The premise for the thesis was to understand an area in downtown Blacksburg, Va and design an intervention.

Cantilever and Urban Intervention
5th Year Thesis Studio
A cantilever became the center of the design, that would help to infl uence the surrounding areas as well as create unique building types for the downtown area.

The main design eff ort and development went into a restaurant/bar establishment. This building is where the infl uence of the cantilever is experienced the most. The design included a restaurant, a water wall, an indoor/outdoor bar, a performance stage, and an outdoor space on the lower level for dining, and on the upper level for lounging.

This mass scale model shows how the intervention takes advantage of the elevation changes throughout the site. It also begins to show some of the spacing qualities the cantilevered building can bring to the location.
