4th Year Project
Duration: 16 Weeks
Location: Paris, France
The intent of this project is to create an intervention, using the existing urban fabric of Paris, that commemorates the nameless thousands who have drowned in the Seine. Beginning with the guiding ambiance of film noir – I delved into the history of the Seine River and some of the more macabre events that have been associated with it. It quickly became apparent to me that the Seine River is much more than a pretty body of water photographed by tourists and slapped onto the front of postcards. In fact, it has a somewhat grim past, and throughout time, its waters have claimed innumerable lives through floods, accidents, suicides, and in some cases, even murder. The ambiance of the Seine, combined with the experience of drowning, can be characterized by ideas of mist and fog, darkness reaching for light, and the contrast of the fluidity of the water with the heaviness of stone. All of these elements combine to create a visual representation of an ambiance, which I developed gradually from film noir to become a softer, more respectful, and less cynical idea that can be described as solemn contemplation.

Project 2: Nature Center at the Penn State Arboretum
3rd Year Project
Duration: 24 Weeks
Location: Penn State Arboretum, State College PA
A Nature Education Center located in the Penn State arboretum, this design features a variety of program elements catering to students as well as to the general public. There are classrooms, a theater, offices, and multiple spaces for exhibitions. The design focuses on the observation of nature and the immersion of oneself into it.
Loading Dock
The building is made up of three forms, each of which stack on top of the other and then slide to create terraces and corresponding cantilevered overhangs. The terraces provide space for gathering while offering beautiful views of the arboretum. Similarly, the cantilevers provide areas of shade and rest beneath the building, all surrounded comfortingly by a large grove of poplar trees.

Duration: 8 Weeks
Location: Budens, Portugal
A design that allows users to orient themselves towards any of the Cardinal Points in order to achieve a more focused and powerful meditative experience. This design consists of three different types of spaces with varying degrees of privacy and directional clarity in order to cater to the specific intentions of each user. The building elevates the user both spiritually and physically while promoting a sense of historical appreciation through it’s proximity to the ruins of the “Vera Cruz de Figueria” Fortress.

Project 4: The Boathouse
2nd Year Project Duration:
16 Weeks
Location: Bald Eagle State Park, Howard PA
A design for a boathouse at Bald Eagle State Park which conceptually represents material state change and substance density within architecture by using solid masses to create space that flows.
The structure stores and launches kayaks for use by park patrons during the summer months. The design also features a custom kayak rack which can be manually lowered into the water into order to release the kayaks.

Project 5: YMCA LOCKER ROOM PROJECT
4th Year Project Duration:
1 Week
Location: Indiana, PA
An updated and improved design for the men’s and women’s locker rooms at the YMCA of Indiana County in Indiana, PA. These renders were generated from plans using Rhino and were utilized in a project proposal from UpStreet Architects which was accepted by the Indiana County YMCA Board of Directors. The colorful doors, benches, and lockers in this project were requested by the client in order to bring life, vibrancy, and a sense of playfulness to the building.

Project 6: Singular Construction: 239 ivy Hill
3rd Year Project Duration:
4 Weeks
Location: State College, PA
My professional work on 239 Ivy Hill consisted of creating a 3D model from plans in Rhino and then utilizing that model to create renders with textures, materials, and background images. These renders were then presented to potential clients and succeeded in securing multiple offers on the house and property.

Project with State College Design and Construction
Duration: 7 Weeks
Location: State College, PA
A plan set drafted for the basement remodel of a residential property in State College. Through collaboration with our design team, a layout was developed and pitched to the customers. After several iterations of the layout were made and reviewed, the customer approved the plans and details, structural information, and other specifics were added to the drawing set in order to pass inspection by Centre Region Code Administration.
