AEROSYNC
“Aerosync” was my senior thesis in lighting. I wanted to focus on improving the travel experience for all travelers by providing circadian support through electric light & daylight strategies, and incorporating biophilic design elements. The project scope included the three types of holding areas at Dallas Love Field AirportinDallas,Texas Byredesigningthesespaces,Iaimedtoprovideabetterexperiencefortravelerswho donothaveaccesstoseparatespacessuchasairport/airlinelounges

RESEARCH
Abstract
Airportusersreportexperiencinghigherlevelsofstresswhentraveling Researchshowsthatspecificlighting design interventions, such as adjustable color temperatures and access to daylight, can alleviate some sources of stress, such as jetlag and circadian disruption. Implementing such design interventions in the busycommunalspacesofairportscanmakeabettertravelexperienceaccessibletoalltravelers

SCHEMATICDESIGN
Mallorca’s architecture spanning Roman, Islamic, Catalan, and contemporary influences, reflects the island’s rich history Renaissance, Baroque, and Modernisme styles add further layers of architectural richness,creatingacaptivatingblendoftraditionand innovation.

CONCEPT
IMMERSE
The experience of Palma de Mallorca is not only to be removedfromthemundanitiesofmainlandlife,butto be immersed in its rich history, art scene, and natural landscapes The architecture of Palma is largely integrated into the surrounding environment, due to centuries of human inhabitants building on and exploring the island, which creates an immersive environment that shuts out the distractions of the outsideworld,andbondsinhabitantstotheland
