Hello! I am a passionate and easy going designer and MArchD graduate specializing in International Vernacular Architecture, Regeneration and Development. I have special interest in traditional building and craft methods and specific cultural influence on architecture. I enjoy designing through making and tactile endeavors as a whole. A tangible connection to my work.

I aim to make my impact in the architectural field being a part of quality design based in an environmentally and socially conscious foundation. while mindfully considering traditional techniques with the help of modern day technology to push forward a new architectural language.

INTER WOVEN: SPACE BETWEEN SPACES Program: 1: Shrine Pavilion 2: Central Market School: Oxford Brookes University Location: Poblenou, Barcelona, Spain The craft of basket weaving is steeped in traditional techniques handed down through generations, yet is adaptive in technique and formal expression. Mastery of the techniques results in inherently parametric volumes. As the craft becomes less prevalent, an architectural application provides a dynamic opportunity for basketry.

The project explores the possible architecture application of basket weaving techniques, and aims to find a new life for a diminishing craft through pushing the limits of possibility through analog crafting, computational manipulation and digital fabrication.

It looks at the four most prevalent basket weaving techniques found on the north American continent: Coil Weaving, Then Plaiting, followed by Twining, and finally Wicker woven baskets.

In dense existing urban centers these weaving techniques create an exciting opportunity to interact with existing structures and stitch together an architecture in voids and non spaces, creating new expressive ambiguity adapted to the rigidity of the building stock, all while avoiding mass demolition and construction issues.

Thus leading to a sustainable intervention and thereby weaving together differing layers of the urban context into a cohesive architectural moment.

In response to the craft and site, the project was driven by 3 main objectives: 1. Stitch together the diverse community through a central public market. 2. Challenge the rectilinear flow forced by the BCN Cerda Block via multi-level circulation bridges. 3. Interact cohesively with existing building stock through weave and sub frame to create architecture between spaces.

The weave works with a timber subframe to create columns and structure where existing structures cannot.

The subframe in the most straightforward sense provides the necessary structure for the weave to operate as an architecture, but also also allows the weave to create dyanimic formal experssions These columns start to form the basis for the main market space, as well as the public space above and multi level circulation bridges.

NORTH NORWICH ARTS CENTRE Program: Arts Centre and Galleries School: Oxford Brookes University Location: Norwich, Norfolk, UK wFollowing a regeneration Master Plan for the Modernist Shopping center located in Norwich, UK, building analysis, demographic studies, and design logic lead to the design of the North Norwich Arts Centre. A new cultural centre for a city prime for regeneration.

The building programme follows two objectives in response to building and site research.

1. Enhance existing community and avoid displacement by: creating flexible and adaptive spaces for artists to foster a creative and makerly building space, creating a link with existing artist communities in the city, and improve amenities and services to create a better makerly atmosphere for artists.

2. Create a new arts center for emerging living working community in Norwich by: providing gallery space and public amenities to engage the public, engaging the public through arts community and public interaction, and being a focal point on and in anglia square through the artistic community.

DRAPE PAVILION Program: Outdoor Performance Venue / Recreational Pavillion School: UIUC ETSAV - Barcelona Location: Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, Spain Collaborators: James L. Carr, Raoyang, Yang, Ibrihim Salman Posed with creating a roof structure to repurpose the ruins of an old church within a small municipality of Catalonia we turned towards looking into the cultural traditions of the proud locals. The Sardana dance is as much a dance as it is a symbolic ritual to the people of Catalonia. Recognized and practiced all over as sign of unity, it involves all ages and acts as a cultural connection through generations. The project connects the two remaining structures of the church through draping canopies to create a light flowing roof structure for performance venues. When it is not being used the venue also acts as a meditative pavilion.

School: UIUC ETSAV - Barcelona Studio: Arch 475 / Arch Design & Development Metro Stop

Semester: Fall 2015 Program: Social Center Location: Sants, Barcelona, Spain The government of Barcelona made a large intervention in the old barrio of Sants when they created a concrete box, several kilometers long, to enclose four metro lines and 2 high speed rails. The box, though successful in its attempts to reduce noise level in the barrio, felt short however, creating a physical barrier right throughthe heart of the neighborhood.

With a park already in the process of being design for the top of the box the area still needed something more to connect and revitalize the area. This project aims to cultivate ideas, social gathering,and overall enhance the community by creating a new office for Google directly adjacent to the concrete box. The building will act as a social gathering space while also acting as a location of innovation.
