4TH YEAR STUDIO SPRING SEMESTER UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

The task for this project was to develop a residential complex in the Vickery Five Points district of Dallas, Texas, known for its diverse and economically low-income community, particularly with a signiﬁcant population of resettled refugees. My approach to the project involves the creation of a spacious skybridge positioned in the middle of the residential space of the apartment complex, serving as a communal space for residents to come together and engage with one another. The skybridge serves as the focal point, housing dynamic community spaces such as classrooms and a computer lab, encouraging residents to congregate towards the center of the housing complex.

MUSEUM OF THE CITY AND THE TIBER

3RD YEAR STUDIO SPRING SEMESTER

STUDY ABROAD: ROME, ITALY

PARTNER: WHIT HULL

In this project the task was to create a museum on the Tiber River at the site of the old Arsenale Complex. Taking an adaptive re-use approach allows us to focus our inten tions on incorporating public spaces to boost community engagement in the area and provide a historical context of the Tiber River and the People who have inhabited the area for millennia. Considering the former use of the site, as a shipyard, the goal was to project visitors and forms towards the river. This is achieved by a linear cantilever design and lots of glass providing ample views of the river and the artifacts housed inside. The public spaces, which mimic the ﬂowing and organic nature of the Tiber River, allow for a unique connection between the museum and its environment.

Lake Thunderbird, a place of water and nature, offers a unique connection. This project focuses on uniting land and water, guiding visitors to a central gathering area. upon entry, you catch a glimpse of the breathtaking view, drawing you closer to the heart of the space.

Framing views symbolizes the mergin of land and water, with the passages designed to make you feel like you are walking on water.

The central gathering area revielas the full panorama and framing concept extends to the overhang’s structure, which channels rainwater back to the lake. This design also marks the natural water level-year round, enhancing the connection to nature’s rhythm. this project essence lies in symbolism, as the pass-through signiﬁes the transition from land to water, granting you freedom and immersion in the natural world.

In this group project, the task was to ﬁx the “highway to nowhere.”

Through the collaboration of students and faculty, the idea of SEAM was born. SEAM is about healing the lost vision of West Baltimore by using the proposed Red Line as an artery that sews together the fractured Franklin and Mulberry Streets. By transforming the underutilized lots, SEAM fosters spaces for expression, collaboration, and economic stability, turning West Baltimore from nowhere into a destination. The design incorporates the Red Line, pushing it below grade to reduce the sense of division, thus enabling pedestrian paths that activate the streetscape.
