I am a fifth-year student at The Pennsylvania State University studying architecture. Architecture allows me to combine my passion and interests. When I’m not busy working in studio, I find pleasure in digital photography, travelling to other countries and learning about different cultures. I would love the opportunity to use my interests and experiences to contribute to a design team in a professional setting.

INSIDE-OUTSIDE SITE CLOISTER
PSU 2019 Fall Arksite Architecture Competition ‘Aldeia da Mata’ dolmen, in Crato, Alentejo Portugal Instructor: Prof. Katsuhiko Muramoto 8 weeks
My Intention was to create an experience which celebrates the monument. The beautiful and open landscape becomes a space in which an individual can experience the site. My design will take you on a journey. From the time you pass through the gateway, it takes you around this ring that isn’t completely closed, but gives off that impression. This is all connected through an architectural element, the lighweight roof. This roof carries an individual around, to create an inside-outside element, continuity between interior and exterior, which allows them to see the megalith from multiple angles. It makes the most of this amazing location, by creating a central inner space that consists of an unrestricted and uncontained naturalness, into panoramic views that my structure combined with the monument establishes a space of memory. As a result, my building reframes and recontextualizes the site by respecting and connecting the surrounding area. Rhinoceros, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

L I N E A R I T Y PIRANESI PRIX DE ROME Pantheon Institute 2021 Fall Piranesi Prix de Rome 2021 Villa Adriana (Hadrian’s Villa) Rome, Italy Prof.: Simone Bove 2 weeks
The Piranesi Prix de Rome 2021 focuses on Villa Adriana. This villa expresses the experimentation and creativity of Hadrian as a designer. In our intervention of the site, we wanted to respect the existing creations and take inspiration from Hadrian’s innovative spirit. Our project focuses on linear circulation and hierarchy. While both of these themes exist in the ruins of the Villa, our project will bring them into a contemporary context. Our strategy includes using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, and self actualization as a way to rank the hierarchy of programs based on needs of people using our new intervention: food: restaurant, comfort: spa, and high thought: gallery. In terms of circulation, The original aqueducts that feed Hadrians villa runs underground from the canopo to the pecile.Through our design we aim to expose the original movement of water. This idea informed our approach which we represented through landscape design. Visible through the site plan, the linear elements in the villa will provide organization of circulation for both people and water. The goal of using our intervention is to show the spirit of Hadrian, the harmony of the villa, and the incorporation of water to create a contemporary asset which enhances the experience of the villa.

G A T E W A Y MUSEUM/RESEARCH CENTER Pantheon Insititue 2021 Fall Rome, Italy Testaccio District Prof. Simone Bove 5 weeks
Testaccio district used to be Rome’s working-class neighborhoods. In modern times, due to gentrification, the district has become an area that has become more attractive to tourists. The Gateway in this design draws people of Testaccio district and vistors in to learn about the history of Testaccio of how it has evolved overtime from the industrialization period to becoming a cultural district in Rome. By drawing them in through a public stairase as you walk past the existing Aurelian Walls from the streets creates an open gateway into the Testaccio district. By also cantillevering the building to create the gateway, it helps to create the story of walking into the industralization of the past and industrialization in modern times. Using a truss system to help the load that is being cantileverd over the Aurelian walls, the system also pays homage to the times of industrialization in the district. It was through my research of the Testaccio District, I was able to use it has a driving force in my project. by using the site has a place, how the community in the District can interact and learn about their history. Most importantly, having an interactive facade that opens up as you move around the Museum/ Research Center to see the district as a whole. Rhinoceros, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Powerpoint

L AY E R I N G NEUE- GALERIE ADDITION PSU 2019 Spring NCMA Competition 2019 Manhattan, NY Instructor: Prof. Felecia Davis 12 weeks
This project was developed by looking at the layers of the existing Neue Gallery façade on 5th Avenue. On this façade there are layers that creates a stark geometry.This project was also inspired by two Josef Hoffman brooches that are exhibited in the Neue. Similar to the existing Neue façade, these brooches also have a stark geometry with jewels set into a rectilinear frame. In my design I brought together these aspects to create layers that connect the Neue Gallery and Central park together.These frames become layers of walls based upon a gridded formal system organizing the plans of the Neue Gallery. Parallel to Central Park. The walls frame a direct view to the park and in the opposite direction connect spatially to the Neue Gallery building floor to floor.

O V ENEWR MEDIA L A CENTER PPING PSU 2020 Spring Harlem, New York Prof. Juan Antonio 16 weeks
The Hangout/Public area in this design allows artists and vistors to interact both physically and visually as they would when there walking the streets of Harlem. The Public area acts as the main circulation, which connects the vistors to the artists and the new media art used in the building. That as one move upward, the Hangout/Public Area spreads into the program areas that it helps strengthen the connection of the spaces and the movement through the spaces. It was through my research of the Cultural development, I was able to use it has a driving force in my project. by using the site has a place the community of Harlem can interact and learn from each other. Most importantly, having an interactive facade that opens up the entrance to the public can be an eye catcher when people are across the street or walking towards the street.

PSU 2017 Spring Prof. Cathy Braasch TA/Teacher. Vernelle Noel 6 weeks
Strategy used: a) Analyze the existing problems in architecture: overpopulation b) Propose a way to connect overpopualtion through stacking on the human body = the shoulders c) Then using the shoulders create a design to represent represents the eight stages of life through layers by folding Material: Paper - used to represent the eight stages of life The main idea was create a wearable architecture that could summarize the way of life of people during the time the movie, The Fifth Element took place. A time of overpopulation, pollution, etc. The whole project was based on the layers of life poem by Stanley Kunitz, “Live in the layers, not on the litter,” through the effect of stacking; creating a system that works.

PHOTOGRAPHY BLACK & WHITE
Over the last couple years, I have fallen in love with photography, that it has become my hobby. What I love most abouut photography is the images that are taken in black & white. For me, Black & White photography captures the light the way I want to better and it gives off a more raw feeling when you look at them. All these pictures range from trips to New York City to my hometown Lagos, Nigeria. Nikon Camera, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom
