4th year
OSU’s team worked with the “Journey Women’s Center,” which is a nonprofit organization that provides shelter, medical care, and training to disadvantaged women through their pregnancy and prepares them for independent living. The project, the Journey House, will be a housing complex with the major goal of providing a safe and positive environment for these women. Here, they will be given the help and care necessary to process trauma and find healing from complex PTSD, childhood abuse, and addiction to break the cycle of systematic neglect and poverty. The major design goal is to create a clean, healing, and functional shared environment that fosters a sense of hope and community

Defined as a Library of Imagination, the project focused on the diffusion of knowledge through group-based activity and hands-on learning. The group also defined visiting college students -- foreign to Rome -- as the primary users of the project based on mapping research of Rome Centre. The North facade, pictured to the right, communicates its intention as a conceptual ‘Tabernacle’ for those of diverse backgrounds. The site volume of this project included several stories underground in addition to Air Rights above the neighboring Lucio High School.

“And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from the storm and rain.”
-Isaiah 4:6 NKJV
This passage directly references the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in a book considered to be historical for Jews, Christians, and the secular community.

3rd year
The Washington School was the only all-black school in Stillwater, Oklahoma, during its tenure from 1938 to 1955. For the last 70 years, the school has been vacant, save for a few community events hosted here early in its posteducational life. The adaptive reuse proposal investigates the relationship between the historical significance of the location and the future relevance the space can have for the community of Stillwater as an arm of Stanford University’s engineering school. This after-school programming venue seeks to creatively curate the 14 Grand Challenges of Engineering to engage high school students with their physical surroundings.

Based on interdisciplinary coordination, this master planning project involved landscape architecture students in the conceptualization, design, and presentation phases of the Malecon restoration in Guanica, Puerto Rico. The goal was to address the economic, social, and environmental barriers to the region’s growth as a tourist destination in Puerto Rico. The team divided the program into four functioning zones based on the four design concepts These concepts were broken down into attainable goals and anchored to defined programmatic elements.
Renderings were produced by Nick Morey, based on a 3D model provided by all members of the group.

Research Project
4th year
The Transformation of Renewable Opportunities Utilized by Terra (TROUT) project focused on leveraging nature’s strategies to solve the problems of the built environment The research problem I investigated was the adverse effect of wind on buildings. Over the course of the semester, the project investigated Biomimetic solutions to the issue of generating energy from fluids, such as wind, and adapting that biological solution to a building facade. Diagramming organisms and natural processes related to the problem statement led to a rudimentary solution to the problem. The Library of Imagination project served as the impromptu host for the Biomimetic facade.
