Bio / About Me 1
1
awe /aw/ n. defined as the emotion that arises when one encounters an experience of such perceptual expansion, so strikingly vast, that it provokes a need to update one’s mental schemas.
As a designer, I believe in the power of awe. In moments of wonder, I become immersed in thought. Our imaginative visions become manifest through design; design allows us to transcend our living environment. I am devoted to the process of learning-by-doing. I seek to perceive and understand patterns of information. I believe that great architecture is a conflation of science, wonder, and art.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Contained within is a collection of my design work. The projects display a wide range of design experience. You will see projects that focus on abstract spatial relationships as well as projects that delve into rigorous technical development. I believe that this spectrum serves to demonstrate my understanding of design.

PROCESS OVERLOOK
Program/Services The winery conflates vineyard and architecture. The roofscape is an extension of the vineyard. Visitors follow a path that explains the winemaking process: growth, harvest, collection, fermentation, storage, and of course tasting. Through this procession a narrative of winemaking becomes a spatial/temporal experience.

WINERY WALK
On the far side of the building, there is a flexible interior and exterior space that will be used to hold weddings and other events to keep the public interested in the building. Large sliding glass doors allows the interior and exterior to blend and allow it to be one large space if desired.
Aside from the tasting on the roof, the building offers a restaurant and tasting bars inside that allows the visitors of the building to taste on a more casual level with food. The restaurant offers views to the exterior and views to the lower process areas to enjoy while dining.
As visitors walk towards the building, they see on the right side the process that makes the wine in the basement. The area is lined with signage that describes the many steps to making wine and allowed them to see what is happening.
A 1 to 16 ramp allows people that enter the site to walk onto the roof of the building where grapes are being grown to see different types of grapes and taste the wines that they make while enjoying a view of the entire site that is unrivaled.

During the summer months opaque horizontal panels are positioned on the exterior of the facade to provide shading from direct light.
The horizontal panels also work as light shelves to bring daylight deeper into the space.
A portion of the light is reflected into the spaces above.
The exterior shading mitigates heat gain during the summer.
Throughout winter the vertically oriented panels are effective at shading the low angle solar radiation. Light is only shaded at eye level, while other light is admitted in order to passively gain heat. winter

Rock/Paper/Scissors In groups of 3 utilize a ream of paper to orient and erect a 50-75 lb. rock for a spiritual or cosmical ambition. model photograph

Monolith Translate the form of the rock/paper/scissor into a monolithic object. Primarily, subtract from this volume to create 1 large space and 1 small space.

Rock/Paper/Scissors: Monolith

Rock/Paper/Scissors The ream of paper is made into a weave. The weave cradles the rock into a delicate state of balance. If the counterweight of the weave were to be unrolled, then the entire system collapses. The duality between the light, tectonic weave of paper and the heavy, monolithic rock is captured best by two perspectival charcoal renderings. The contrast between the lightest lights and the darkest darks evokes the anxiety that surges as one witnessess this precarious balancing act. model photograph

Container
Objects
Construct a container for at least three objects. The container is to hold the objects in specific positions, explicitly considering: the relationship of each object to the others, and the relationship of the viewer to the objects.
The chosen objects are: Gatorade Bottle White Out Highlighter Bic Pen
Wireframe Consider how the characteristics of your objects and the construction of their positions activates space between them.
Planar Produce a model out of planar materials that speaks of the three dimensional spatial relationships of the objects.

Constructing Spatial Relations
music wire + chipboard
The connection of these views constructs the space between each object. It activates a new space. At each point along the wrapper a uniquely different view is achieved. Interest is found in the distortion of objects cause by one’s perspective.
wireframe model photos
Planar Three points along the wrapper were chosen. From each point basswood is used to show how one’s vision would perceive the objects.
The construction of negative space is used to show the fields of vision from each point. In this manner, the visible outline of each object is shown.
Each point of vision shows five separate viewing angles. The angles are used to show the distortion done by one’s vision upon objects when they are not in focus.
This speaks about the intangible qualities of perception.
An understanding of spatial relationships is integral in the foundation of architectural design.
A spatial arrangement of cylindrical objects that took their characteristics into account led to an investigation about how an individual perceives objects. basswood+chipboard

Typology Study Islamic Architecture, specifically the mosque. Compare and contrast different mosques. Construct a ‘Mosque Manual’ from these findings. Design a mosque that transforms the typology in a meaningful way.
Site The site is located on Cornell University’s campus. Currently the site is home to the campus bookstore. Design a mosque, courtyard, campus store, and education space for this site.
Islamic Pattern Islamic Patterns work at many scales, and are used to create specific experiences within the sacred space.

initial pattern studies
Spatial Manipulation A six pointed star pattern is used for the foundation of spatial relationships. The earliest model extrudes lines of the 2D pattern to ascending heights. Creating structural and spatial opportunities. The moments of intersection suggest a column supporting a framed roof structure. The density and variety of intersection displays opportunites for variation within the system. The mutability is used to create areas of focus.
site integration + spatial studies
The integration of this system within the site starts by stamping the pattern into the ground. The model below and to the right displays this investigation.

Site Design an 18 unit apartment complex with a public program in downtown Buffalo at the intersection of Delaware Ave. and W. Chippewa St.
The private spaces exist within the mass. The shared spaces occupy the space between the mass.
Music Collab
While the size of the private space remains consistent within each core, the size of the infill space is flexible in order to accommodate varying occupancy needs.
The context to the site is an entertainment district. In order to create a strong bond to the community the residence houses people with musical interest. While the public program is a music retail space.

Recovery In order to cultivate recovery for the homeless the design has 3 separate stages that relate to the recovery process. Each stage uses a specific unit type that reinforces behavior and social interactions.
Program/Services A soup kitchen, thrift store, wellness center, and fitness center are situated on the first level. These services are available to the public. Additionally, this level functions as an open space for vagrants to stay overnight. The intention is to inspire these people to assimilate into the transitional housing.

Transitional Stage
Program Transitional housing is a program that calls for sensitive design. The recovery process is derived from the 12 step process. The design’s programmatic arrangement reinforces this process in order to provide a platform that augments the transition.
Reflection The first stage of recovery features a singe occupancy unit type that promotes self-reflection by the individual.
Comradery The second stage unit type is a double-double suite. Residents learn to live with roommates, suitemates, and share a common kitchen/living space.
Integration The third stage simulates an efficiency apartment. Here the individuals experience higher levels of freedom.
