121 north boulevard
121 North Boulevard is a mixed-use office / public building located in downtown Baton Rouge. Inspired by the Mississippi River, the form curves at the corners, with a metal screen facade that wraps around the entire building. The metal perforation pattern manifests from historic mapping of the Mississippi River and its previous paths. This screen protects the building from harsh southern light, allowing for optimal natural light intrusion while keeping total energy use down. The public plane drives the program of this building; with a 16’ elevation difference at each cross street, the program extends the public plaza at Lafayette Street towards the River Road end, giving the public a view over the levee towards the river.

structural precedent studies
These precedent studies focused on modeling existing buildings and their structure using Revit families. I studied lateral forces, load paths, and tributary widths within the structure. I then created diagrams analyzing these structural forces.

kimbell art museum / renzo piano
This study of Renzo Piano’s Kimbell Art Museum analyzes the forces acting on the building’s photo-voltaic roof. Lateral force strategies are identified in each plane of the building, and the load path diagram studies the force and load path of a person servicing the photo-voltaic panels.

new orleans museum of natural sciences
Located in the heart of New Orleans’ Warehouse District, this museum is a center for education and appreciation of the natural sciences. The museum’s design is comprised of angled masses that offset each other and gradually increase in scale. A copper skin wraps around the facade to unify the differing masses and consists of undulating panels that alternate between solid and perforated. The exterior skin of the museum serves as a science lesson in itself, as the copper panels develop a patina over time.

candela stadium
The Candela Stadium Renovation re-imagines Hilario Candela’s original Miami Marine Stadium, expressing the site’s historical context while remaining flexible to engage with Miami locals. Candela Stadium divides into three distinct levels in anticipation of future flooding. The lowest level carves out interactive tidal pools to promote native biodiversity and connects to the second level with flexible stadium seating reminiscent of the stadium’s original design.

co-housing
Shotgun houses have great significance to New Orleans culture and community. The goal of this project is to create housing for two different families while maintaining levels of privacy and community between the two.
The top two floors of this building are offset from the ground floor to represent the distinction between the individual who lives on the first floor and the family that lives above.
A screen brings natural light into the home while also creating a barrier between the home and the street.
A wrapping technique is employed around the exterior of the house which creates the sense of an inner building being pulled out of its outer shell.
