Architecture has a profound effect on the world and how it is experienced, and I find myself forever in awe of the power that architecture holds. Architects have a responsiblity to weild this power responsibly, respectfully, and knowledibly. I belive that architecture should make people smile and laugh. It should be fun and sow happiness and kindness in all that it touches. Architetcure has the power to chnage the world, culturally, idealogically, and enviromentally. It is my responsiblity as a designer to guide that change in everything I create. I want to design things that bring people joy, and I find that joyful buildings come from joyful designers!

STUDENT STUDY PAVILION

PROJECT TYPE: GARDEN PAVILLION
This small pavilion, only 150 square feet in foot print is designed to celebrate the natural landscape that surrounds without intruding. It is rasied on thin stilts allowing the existing landscape to roll beneath it as it decends to a small pond. Water is captured on the roof and falls through a spout and is collected in a basin next to the pavil-
lion. This pavilion is meant as a place for students to study horticulture and plant biology in the surrounding garden. It opens and closes allowing for the enviroment to disolve into the interior. DISCIPLINES:
The pavillion is designed as a of celebration of the site. In site analysis collage we study the atmosphere of our site as the seasons change. the transparency of the trees surrounding the pond changes drastically throughout the seasons, and the color that the redbud trees engulphs the site in spring. A small boulder sits on the site corner. Geologically, it is a signifigant stone that
was carried by the glacier that scraped midwest America flat over 2.3 billion yers ago. This boulder becomes a focal point of the project and a very to the boulder is placed on the entry axis instead of a view over the pond. The form is defined by the intersection of the two forms on differnet axis, one set to the view of the lake and the other two the boulder. This form is suported
by a wooden fram that sites independate of the form itself. This separates the form from its imideiate context physically, allowing the landspace to roll beneath it. A folded roof flys above the project. A small cutout directs rain water into a small basin which reflects light into the pavillion. When the basin overflows it descends a series of stone stairs leading it to the waters edge below.

Located in the historic section in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg adjacent to the Place de Arms and the Grand Ducal Palace this apiary is lifted above all of the existing historic buidlings. The Site is located near alarge natural area that cuts through the city called “the grund.” Allowing the bees easy access to flowers and plant life, and promi-
nently possitioning itself in what is perhaps the must cultrually active and historically signifigant spaces in the small country. The intention is to explore the possibilities of urban development and engagemnt in entablished urban cities without demolishing important existing structures
COMBINED DIAGRAM
PROJECT ITERATION
Beginning with the individual analysis of two existing buildings by contemporary European architects, we diagramed what we saw as the interesting developments of the program and form. I explored the carefully coordinated familial interactions and their spatial representations within the Mobius House by UN Studio, and my project partner developed a diagram around the expression of light and scale in the Musée du Quai Branly by Jean Nouvel. These two diagrams were then independently trans-
lated to three-dimensional representations carrying the logic into a new and expanded form. The two three-dimensional diagrams were combined around the similar elements and logic in the two structures. We merged them based on our representations of fragmented forms and the spatial reasoning relationship to the form. The three-dimensional diagram was introduced to the honey-producing and packaging center program and the site requirements. Structural vertical spikes intersect the
programmatic crystals to bring light through the building to the homes and businesses below. The program crystals are anchored on the rooftops with minimal noise and heat to create an ideal living situation for the bees within the building. At all intersection points within the building, the building metal is replaced with glass allowing views into the other program spaces. A dedicated pathway for the transit of bees cuts through the building, making them a visible element within the building.

This small cabin is located in a very remote section of the Naeroyfojrd in Norway. It is only accessible by twenty miles of hiking up the steep walls of the fjord. It’s high elevation offers incredible views of the dramatic surronding landscape. The cabin is broken inorder to respond to the rythm that the meian-
dering sea below creates. Because the site is so remote, this must be a self sustainable cabin. It is clad in photovoltaic panels to take advantage of the exceptionally low angle sun. The form is broken further into three sheells that express the interior program and integrates the water collection system.

The downhill spiral is a community center designed for the Hueston woods nature park near Oxford, Ohio. The nature park facilitates a great deal of activity for the University and for the community. The park wants to grow its research and education capabilities, so in this design I incorpoated classrooms, labs, and exhibition spaces.
A spiral around an inner courtyard connectes the top of the slope to the dock while allowing sunlight to enter the building even though it is set into the hill. South facing windows are sloped to reflect the ground rather than tree lines meaning birds will not run into them. The slope also blocks high angle sun from entering the building.

The library and connected plaza are situated in a vibrant neighborhood in Cincinatti. It meets the main street to the north and a residential street to the south. In order to mediate the two scales to the north and south the south entrance is set down below grade. The plaza is extended into the core of the library where an atrium
facilitates primary circulation and allows for the large concrete thermal labyrinth in the basement to passively heat and cool the library. The library pulls the colorful plaza and community to the interior and leaves the exterior in monochrome where the large pages on the exterior regulate light and contain photovoltaic elements
