ST. IGNATIUS CHAPEL ARCH 1510 Professor Brandon Pass Spring 2020 Seattle University This studio project focused on a precedent assigned to each student. As a studio we had to recreate the precedent and understand what the architects thought process was during the design process and also why it was built the way it was. This Chapel was built for worship for the students at Seattle University. I researched and analyzed the St. Ignatious Chapel in Seattle. It was designed to create natural light throughtout the building using sky lights they like to call the bottles of lights. Each one of these ‘bottles’ are angled a certain way making light come to specific places.

Design Workshops ARCH 2510 Professor Joseph Choma Fall 2020 Clemson University In the beginning of studio we started with a series of workshops that includes designing methods such as folding, lofting, bending, and hanging. These worksops required me to use both analog and digital tools. This allowed me to expand my knowledge and ability in the designing process of architecture. Allowing me to create new and unique buildings in the future.

Outdoor Classrooms ARCH 2510 Professor Joseph Choma Fall 2020 Clemson University With the recent news of the corona virus and having to social distance, wear mask, and quarantine things have change in this world. Schools are taking a huge turn from teaching and learning in person to teaching and learning online. This project made us explore ways in creating spaces for people still learn in a traditional class way but still have the ability of social distancing.

Cayce Art Center ARCH 2520 Professor Virgina Melynk Spring 2021 Cayce, South CarolinaClemson University My design for Cayce, SC Art Center was inspired by two precendents, Tongxian Gatehouse in Beijing, China by Nadaa and Memphis Ballet in Memphis, Tennessee by Archimania. The Tongixian Gatehouse gave inspiration for the brick of the design and Memphis Ballet inspired the most of my design; taking it’s long rectangular build with a few extruding shapes and elements coming out of it making different facades. In my design, I want to create easy circulation, functionality, spactious grand areas, and facades to grab vistors attention. With my design I was able to give brick elements, keeping a cohesive look that is around Cayce, SC, as well as some modernism to continue the urban growth around the city. 20

Systematic Variability ARCH 3500 Professor Douglas Hecker Fall 2021 Chelsea, New York This building is designed to create a new environment that goes against the uniformity and predictability of an office space. With floors shifted in different directions and voids created from these shifts, this building becomes a system of differentiality. Single, double, and triple height spaces creating vertical gardens allow for the natural world to come into the office space while the use of smart glass incorporates individuality, personalization, and variability to the office space while also reducing the use of energy within the building by controlling sunlight. The urban space was created using stepping planes to create different height spaces beneath the ground level of the building. The opportunity to be in multiple different spaces, whether that be underground, in the air, stepping up or down will create a feeling of serendipity of anybody who interacts with this space, never being bored to go to work. The geometry and technology combined is the foundation of the systematic variability with which this building presents.
