Community Center for Kansas City

After weeks spent researching and mapping demographic and historical aspects of Kansas City, MO, I was tasked to create a masterplan over eight unused blocks for different types of infrastructure. After developing the masterplan, I created a community center focused on connection to the outdoors, environmental discovery, and research.

The Basin

Metaverse Bienalle Competition Submission

A basin is an open circular vessel used to hold something. While the contents held by a basin may vary, this particular proposal for the Metaverse Architecture Biennale utilizes the formal and metaphorical qualities of the basin to contain the intangible. The Meta-Architecture featured in this proposal, appropriately named “The Basin” is a performance space that fosters social interaction, creative dialogue and most fundamentally, human experience.

Housing Studio

For a few months, I focused on spacial relationships in residential settings. Creating a horizontal house, vertical house, and sectional house allowed me to closely study movement and the harmony between the built environment and human interaction.

GreenHomeNOLA (Urban Block)

After housing studio, I was tasked with creating an urban block holding 60-100 homes with a defining narrative. I focused on sustainable lifestyles and outdoor living. Urban gardening and the stacked house structure are aspects of the block that encourage sharing resources. I created a community that encourages being outside and engaging with neighbors and natural elements.

Since middle school, I have been doing freelance photography. I have won an award and been hired for my photography services. It is one of my favorite forms of storytelling and an incredible way to engage with people and nature. Here are a few of my favorites.
