GERMANY PAVILION - WORLD EXPO 2024
PROJECT INFORMATION: Osaka, Japan SCAD - Fall 2022
Graduate Studio 4 Programs Used: Revit, SketchUp, Photoshop,Enscape
Inspired by The Black Forest, the setting of countless traditional German fairy tales, the Germany Pavilion seeks to evoke the same sense of eerie excitement and tension found in the forest, encouraging visitors to wander through the space. This feeling is achieved through architecture and design elements throughout the space. Exhibition rooms have a maze-like layout, courtyards bring visitors around tight corners, and disproportionate height adds a grand feeling to the space.

The Germany Pavilion is designed as a net zero building with the majority of the sustainability features in the building’s roof. Photovoltaic panels provide energy, small skylights bring light into deeper parts of the building, and a collection of cooling tubes and roof ventilation provide a passive temperature system.

SAVANNAH VISITORS CENTER
PROJECT
Located in the Plant Riverside district of Savannah, the Savannah Visitors Center allows people to learn more about the history of Savannah as well as what makes it so great today.

Design Process
This concept for the Savannah Visitors Center is inspired by one of the things that makes the city so unique: the iconic live oak trees. The Plant Riverside District is one of the few places in town where these trees cannot be found, and the objective of this design is to mimic the shape of the trees as well as the feeling of safety and shelter they provide. The design concept started as two arches forming a canopy over the service road and evolved into the last image, creating that feeling of safety over both sides of the building and forming a gathering space below.

Senior Thesis
Programs Used: Revit, Lumion, Photoshop, Procreate
Once the home of the Chattanooga Lookouts minor league baseball team, Engel Stadium has fallen into a state of disrepair. This adaptive reuse concept realizes the potential of this historic building and transforms it into a community center that promotes learning, community involvement, and bridges the disconnect between the University of Tennessee and the residents of Chattanooga.
