art center proposal

Sophomore Year Studio ARCH 2520

Professor Virginia Melnyk

AIA People’s Choice Award Nominee

This semester, using analytical techniques as generative design devices, we created a masterplan and art center proposal for Downtown Cayce, SC. Using a given precedent, analyzed form, light, and program to influence my design with the Cayce art center. Being influenced by Steven Holl’s Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU, I prioritized light and open spaces in my design while maintaining a clear and efficient organization of program.

outdoor classrooms

from a socially-distant perspective

Sophomore Year Studio ARCH 2510

Professor Joseph Choma

For this project, I explored grid logic and how part to whole relationships lead to heterogeneous spaces. Through this exploration I learned how grids can influence space, structure, and landscape. To create socially-distant outdoor classrooms was a challenge but ultimately helped my design intentions and process, accomodating not only to the physical context of the site but also social.

exploring “what-ifs” in an everchanging work environment

Junior Year Studio ARCH 3500

Professor Clarissa Mendez

Partner Cory Yingling

This was the first intimate collaborative project I’ve had. Throughout the project I developed my team-working skills, communication and collaborative skills, and explored new ways to design through transparency, depth, texture, voids, and color.

Our “What if” was this: What if work was understood through layers of transparency? Instead of walls or floors dividing programs of work, what if space, material, and light was used to define the work place? For our project, we used interconnection to promote productivity in the workplace by organizing individual work, collaborative work, and the combination of both with the use of mezzanines, window conditions. and the relationship between the plaza and the lobby.

sustainable, mixed-use, affordable housing

Senior Year Studio ARCH 3520

Professor Bradford Watson

Studying in Charleston, SC at the Clemson Design Center, I learned about sustainable design strategies and how history and context further drive architectural design. was inspired by the concept of identity, through personal expression of resideents and material expression of their units, and how it builds community.

studies

object analysis

Freshman Year Studio ARCH 1510

The object analysis project was an opportunity for me to improve my drawing and modeling skills, as well as developing a better understanding of spatial relationships, movement, function, and orthographic projections.

chapel analysis

Freshman Year Studio ARCH 1510

Professor

The chapel analysis project helped me study space and light. This particular chapel allowed me to build my skills through drawing and modeling, and challenged me to understand more about sun and shadows and how they affect the viewer’s experience of the building.
