My name is ANGELA LEE WILK,
I have cultivated a deep passion for the transformative power of architecture in shaping communities and fostering a sustainable and harmonious future.
MY OVERARCHING GOAL is to contribute to the creation of a better future that seamlessly integrates functional connectivity, cultural sensitivity, resilience, adaptability, sustainability, ecological balance, contextual integration, and unique experiences increasing quality of life.
I AM KEENLY INTERESTED in integrating nature into the design process. Recognizing the profound impact that nature has on human well-being, I strive to create spaces that seamlessly blend the built environment with the natural world to create environments that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the health and happiness of occupants.

DESCRIPTION
Located at the heart of Merida’s new Tech City, this visionary project is developing a dynamic campus where community meets innovation. The design is centered around four program typologies: Work, Social, Educational, and Activity. The building seamlessly integrates into the landscape across three levels, narrowing the gap between the natural environment and architectural design. A 9-hole Augmented Reality Golf course extends from the ground to the rooftop, ensuring safety and blending leisure with technology.

DESCRIPTION
Three transformative landscape architecture projects to reimagine empty public spaces on the campus of University of Miami. Envisioned as vibrant sanctuaries, these spaces invite the community to relax, learn, work, and study in inspiring settings. Through a harmonious fusion of functionality and artistry, these projects aspire to create dynamic, inclusive environments where nature and human activity unite, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences and interactions.
PROJECT RECONNECT
This project transforms the University of Miami’s Architecture School site into a multifunctional space. It offers areas for work, presentations, socializing, and relaxation, with shaded seating and workstations. The front plaza, designed for food trucks and markets, promotes community engagement.
Gardens with native flowers and trees attract hummingbirds and reduce mosquitoes, enhancing beauty and biodiversity. Preserved and relocated trees optimize shade and the pedestrian experience, creating a welcoming environment.

PROJECT RETHINK 4.2
This project revitalizes an underused green space at UM’s campus. Two aluminum powdercoated pavilions which support morning glory and trumpet vines promote airflow and cooler microclimates.
The first pavilion, surrounded by koi ponds, offers a tranquil study environment with fixed seating and water sounds to mask surrounding noise. The second pavilion, encircled by plants, features an open-sky platform for gatherings and stargazing, a Natal plum tree for natural food, and telescopes for star watching. Hanging airplants represent planets, enhancing the natural ambiance.

DESCRIPTION
Rinker Classroom was originally a 750 sq ft one story area. It was redesigned to function as a living and study area for three graduate fellows specializing as Architectural critics and journalists.
Designing for small spaces & multipl occupants requires efficient & flexible design. Program includes a collaborative area to write together about projects as well as a private quiet area of their own to focus when working solo. Three private bedrooms, two bathrooms, & a kitchen were also required for the redesign.
SPRING 2022
First floor is interchangable for different use & occupancy. Space includes kitchen, group work/dining, private study, open living room, & full bathroom.
