6Mucha MuseumThis museum houses the work of Alphonse Mucha in two galleries, one for his skectches,posters, furniture, and smaller paintings, andone for his slav epic paintings, which measure20 high by 20 wide for the largest paintings. The roof provides shading for the third oor gallery,however, its main purpose is a visual connection between the dock, river, and both museum buildings, connectiong the city of Prague to themuseum. This is also expressed through the thirdoor balcony that displays the city of Prague,which is adjacent to the Mucha general gallery. Putting Prague on display exhibits the pride of Czech Republic and Slavic people that Mucha presented in his Slav Epic paintings.

Health Community & ClinicThis health promoting community and clinic is a groupproject designed for a site in Austin, TX. The project is anadaptive reuse of an existing hospital. Our concept forthe community was on complete health for the future through preventative measures, treatment, wellness, research and technology. This community also focuses oncomplete health by becoming a monumental and iconiclocation that meets the needs of all ages, family sizes andactivity levels of Austin. Our idea of wellness was to givepeople a means to improve their well being through accessto healthy foods and to emphasize pedestrian activity by providing biking and walking along paths and bridges. Bike and bus routes provide access to the site, particularyacross Interstate 35, which acts as a hard boundry thatseparates Austin in half. The design exposes the structureof the existing hospital to create a path through it to make thesite more walkable.

New Denver Project

This was a group project with a partner to desgin an urban development on a site in Denver, Colorado to revitalize the downtown area. We splitour site in two and I desgined a housing and retail district, while my partner designed a lm and entertainment district. My project was based on the concept of solid and void reversal. The initial site was void, and I extruded pieces of it to create solids,then subtracted pieces to create voids in those solids,which became the buildings I put program into. 14
