ABOUT ME
I am a third year architecture student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a minor in Community and Regional Planning. Since my childhood I've found design as a hobby of mine. During my time as a young designer it has become evident that the process of design is something I'm very passionate about. In addition, I find working with professors and peers to problem solve design issues rewarding. In my future career I look forward to gaining experience in the field in order to become a better designer.

MUSEUM OF THE MOVING
This museum aims to accomplish certain principles from the film analysis of Solaris Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. This film uses time as a rhythm not determined by sequence but rather by the pressure of time passing through it. Tarkovsky does this by sculpting the time of scenes with strategic shots, angles, and pans. Also using cuts to go from picture to picture reducing the time viewers have to take in the moment.

FILM ANALYSIS
Solaris works the most with actions, scene atmosphere, and camera style in contrast to heavy dialog. This museum uses architecture to frame the view in order to take in moments, sculpt the time perception of users’ interaction with this space, and create an atmosphere that tells a story. Tarkovsky used time to tell his stories. This promenade uses passages that alter one’s pace when moving to and from in the course of a connected program; by the effect of encircling heterogeneous partitions and light intensity.

DESIGN CONCEPT
At moments of low interest, the wood partitions are spaced together in sequence. They also rotate and have a different scale of opening to create an atmosphere of chaos for the user. Wood partitions are spaced further apart in sequence at moments of high interest. While also staying square and having larger openings for users, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Lastly when the partitions are spaced apart further the light has greater brightness and the contrary for closely spaced together partitions. By doing this the promenade will accomplish a sense of atmosphere that will invoke a physical and emotional sense of space.

CULTURAL SHIFT
RESTAURANT & RESIDENCY
East of downtown Lincoln at 2020 O St. is a new restaurant and residency called Cultural Shift. This building is a restaurant for traveling chefs that stay for one month in the second floor residence. The restaurant is equip with commercial kitchen, bar, and dinning room fit for twenty guests. Cultural Shifts concept is to have rotating chefs that serve their own combination of cuisine and culture. These chefs work together to create a menu of cuisine from their home front or their specialization. This culinary team temporarily reside in the second floor of the building. There it is designed for three separate bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and an outdoor patio.

DESIGN CONCEPT
Culture Shifts design concept is to subconsciously draw users the space. Specifically the dinning room and bar. The ceiling consists of an undulating patter of wood elements. The ceiling dips down closer to the floor in areas of intimacy. User flow spaces have a high ceiling height to create a sense of openness while users move.

CENTER OF ARCHITECTURAL VOLUMES
North East Perspective View
Design Concept
This project was designed upon the formal and spacial investigations undertaken in the first two projects of Fall 2021. Using this previous work as a starting point, I began to design the Center for Architectural Volumes. This is state of the art facility that houses exhibitions, research, and educational programming. It's galleries showcase a rotating duration of significant and innovative ideas focused on architectural volume and space, including both physical and virtual representations. Additionally, the Center can host lectures and interactive workshops that introduce visitors to the history and development of architectural space making.
