Selected Works

It is my belief that architecture is of the most critical arts in this world, as it is the art of experience. It certainly does not exist in two dimensions and not even in three. Architecture is a multidimensional discipline integrating and requiring all of the senses to discern. We are not creating something to look at,

but rather a persons entire experience in an occupied space. We are programming and affecting actual emotion and comfort. It is my goal in this practice to design the most appropriate interface for optimal comfort and to utilize all of the human senses in connecting people to the architecture they inhabit.

contemporary art museum While the city of Jacksonville has attempted to employ strategies to revitalize the downtown area, they have unfortunately been largely unsuccessful. This made the placement of museum an art museum a particularly risky move in the area. Despite the existing infrastructure, this new program presented the opportunity to create an urban space to be occupied by those working and visiting the

downtown area. The contemporary art museum proposed capitalizes on the one spark program allowing artists installing in the museum an in residence experience in which young artists from the region are fostered and provided necessary resources to realize the potential of their artistry. The site becomes a destination with a mixed-mode program (museum, residential, retail and cafe).

urban void international art exhibition This course was used to foster an understanding of site analysis and how it can be used to generate a design response. On a seemingly desolate site we performed a series of analyses and generated design solutions and identified relationships that could be used to create a contextually appropriate program response.

My specific design response happened to be

derived from the urban plan of Savannah.

Among the urban sprawl of the cities buildings are embedded green spaces or squares which interrupt the city grid. These places provide relief from the urban scape, representing places of rest for pedestrians in the city. Within our site parameter I mimicked this by creating a central green spaces of my own to ground patrons.

coalescence horticultural elementary school This studio was unique in how we took the city of Savannah and analyzed it at various scales, ranging from a broad city scale to a detailed building scale. Through the analyses conducted we were to determine a “Genius Loci� that the city maintains (A spirit of place). In various iterations of diagramming, sketching and writings I distilled

information relevant to the design of the city and the intended overall phenomenon. My specific analyses led me to believe that the city maintains most of its culture within its modified grid system of 23 squares. Among the urban sprawl of the city, the squares exist as a natural relief from the frequent surrounding commercialism and tourism.

The model for this elementary school is one of efficiency.

There are 3 primary modules that comprise the classroom learning space. In each module there are 4 classrooms that are centered around a greenhouse lab. Running adjacent to this is a primary circulation corridor that accesses the school support buildings, tying the project together.

confluence

tourville ruins visitor & research center Confluence can be defined as a coming together of people or things. This project seeks to do just that in bringing people together in a public forum at the Tourville ruins site.

It is a coming together of researchers and visitors, of former culture and new culture as it is a junction of a new architectural program vs. that of the former Roman Complex.

In response to the communal nature that existed within Roman culture, we have created a series of outdoor spaces that actively engage the historic site of Tourville. These zones, while providing direct vistas and a proximity to the ruins, encourage social interaction of the various users of the space. This will be able to bring the patrons together in a sense of community.

james turrell : live. work .exhibit This studio was a unique one in that we had to embed a live, work and exhibition space within a historic vernacular. The artist that I chose was one that works with the medium of light, James Turrell. After conducting extensive research, I was able to identify what spaces would be able to accommodate the work that he typically completed. When charged with

designing the living quarters, I did my best in designing a space that would cater to his aesthetic. The complex I designed works within the parameters of the artist and celebrates his aesthetic, while also celebrating the Central of Georgia Railroad site. This was the biggest challenge in both respecting the artist as well as the historic fabric of the city of Savannah.

vernacular In paying respect to the historic vernacular of the Roundhouse Complex, the Turrell Residence is proportioned to the heights established by the former Central of Georgia Railway Machine shop facade. Look to the height relationship in the section to the left. The tripartite relationship is relative to the separation of the gable by the center monitor.

Of the design drivers of the project, certainly one of the strongest was how I sequenced the experience. In not giving the patron of the building the experience all at once, I framed the

Through the analyses conducted we were to determine a “Genius Loci� that the city maintains (A spirit of place). In various iterations of diagramming, sketching and writings I distilled

Here at the building scale even more narrow analyses are able to be performed. After hand-drafting both the elevation and plan of the Telfair Museum in ink on mylar, a formal analysis was done through diagramming. This identified relationships between the two. The circulation and spaces were also identified.

sweet patches of life among unfamiliar meaningless masses

genius-loci The premise of the project is to pinpoint the phenomenon associated with the spirit of the place. Our location of study was the city of Savannah, Georgia . I made a conceptual representation of the phenomenon by creating a light model. Here the life of the city glows within the squares, which contrast with the static gray which represents the remaining urban sprawl of the city. Man is connected to these regions, as they are natural and familiar.

The static does not compare to the richness and culture that resides in these squares.

architecture coursework

This section contains additional architectural coursework completed as deliverables for various assignments, as well as some work samples. It is this work that is at the foundations of my architectural understanding. This work is not a showcase of my style of work but my understanding of the profession. This area is of vital importance to be included in this portfolio.

NORTH

conditioned

The building is oriented along the East-West Axis in order to capitalize in receiving smaller amounts of the acute light that is provided along these cardinal points. During the Summer, light is not allowed to penetrate the building due to the angle of the sun and in the winter, heat is allowed in along this Southern side to heat the building up.

In order to decrease the delta, or change in the temperature between my building zones, I utilized a double skin system.

The skin acts as a screen that is able to filter in light while also repelling a vast amount of thermal energy from penetrating the building skin. The interstitial space between this secondary skin and the primary building envelope is able to move air along the building.

The majority of my building program is oriented towards the North. Lighting is desired in the building, though heating is not. My building employs an indirect day lighting system by orienting monitors towards the North so as to catch beautiful indirect light and channel it down into the building.

a ddi t i o n a l w orks non-architectural showcase This section of the portfolio targets additional skills applied and acquired during my foundation studies in my Undergraduate course of study. Using a range of media and skills these projects demonstrate the essence of design thinking, aside form an architectural context. Design in its most raw form relies upon various elements and principles. The projects

included in this section demonstrate these essential parameters of design. These show my specific approach to addressing these requirements and my creative design thinking. These were some of the projects that I enjoyed the most as they set simple objectives, which I responded with simple solutions. These are my early forms of attack.

travel Travel, I have found to be essential in my development.

It is only through experiencing new places and different cultures that I have been able to grow and learn. I always seek to capture these spectacular moments I am privileged enough to be a part of.

Photography is a hobby of mine and therefore it is always my goal to snap a couple of photos in any new place I come to.

foundation studies egg launch

side view of catapult

The objective here was to create a mechanism to transport an egg in the air 20 feet without it cracking once landing. My response was to create a catapult themed as a chicken pen. The basket on the end of the throwing arm holds the egg until launch. The egg was put into a capsule of cotton to protect it during its transport.

motion The goal of this project was to use a 2D medium to communicate the illusion of motion. I approached the project by using a stroboscopic method in which a figure is repeated in different segments of space, frame by frame to show their progression, or motion in an environment. I took photos and use them as reference for the piece, then using gouache and colored pencil to complete the piece. gouache and colored pencil on illustration board

unorthodox The challenge of this project was to create something living out of paper.

The design had to be something that would be wearable. The living creature that I decided to construct was a frilled lizard. In order to create something wearable, I worked off of the model of the Elizabethan collar. The piece ends up being a frilled lizard that is allegedly consuming a human. All components of the piece are paper based; including the frame.

marked tree winery The premise of the project was to create a gravity flow winery for the Flat Rock region of North Carolina. My design response to the project became informed by the very sequence that is involved in the production of wine. In order to offer guests perspective on the process of wine making I created a transparent atrium that offers view to the various steps of the process.

I sequenced the levels of the project where you start at the end of the process and ascend to the beginning, providing a level of discovery to guests. They slowly unravel the mystery involved in the production as they wind up the production core atrium. Upon resurfacing on the terrace they are confronted with views out to the vast landscape covered in vines.

structure Using a silo as the major core of the winery’s production was one that depended on a radial structural system. Several iterations of systems were explored before deciding upon the radial method. The first strategy happened to be orthagonal. I soon relaized that there wasnt much of a fit for such a system and that the most efficient system would include a series of wide-flange steel girders that rested upon columns radiating out from the origin of the silo as demonstrated in the second figure.
