The Shard

location: 14 th Street Northwest, Atlanta, GA

Project Type: Mix Used ( Crystal Arena and Midtown School of Film)

Year: 2022

Group Project Contribution: Design Process, Digital Model, Elevation,

Section Cut, Exterior and Interior Render.

Description:

This project focuses on crystalline growth in the urban condition. With the Crystal Arena on the West and the Midtown School of Film on the East, the structures serve as portals that encourage new densities throughout the program. The program seeks to connect various communities by creating a bridge between the dense morphology of Midtown with the less dense Georgia Tech and Home Park neighborhoods.

Bit and Pieces

Location: Kennesaw State University

Project: LGBTQIA+ Center

Year: 2023

Description:

Queer space often inhabits the scraps of a city, creating a torn identity the spreads out into pockets and isolated gay-borhoods sprinkled throughout the urban fabric. And LGBTQIA+ Center is the opposite of that, a centralized hub of queerness that celebrates this mix of identity and diversity in one location, not as pieces thrown to the urban winds. Our exploration of queerness began with gathering these scraps of identity from across Atlanta, and creating a collage that begins to overlap these unique identities and force them to share the same space, on paper at least. Using this collage to influence our building form, we pulled shapes and mass from the images created and pieced them together to create a complex and unique building form.

KSU Tiny House

Location: Kennesaw, GA

Project Type: Tiny House

Year: 2021

Group Project Contribution: Design Process, Digital Model, Axon, Elevations, Exterior and Interior Render

Description:

North of the Kennesaw State University is a farm rented from the Georgia Department of Transportation. This site is used to do research, hold classes, and grow food for the local community and KSU students. Our task is to create a portable building to replace the current trailer office on the site. The building must accommodate the workers during every season and be adaptable to social settings. The building should have efficient appliances and sustainable features to match sustainable practices on site. The building is design to be completely off-grid.
