Throughout this paper folding workshop, with the analysis and experimentation of different folds made with paper, came the creation of a new experience with them. I studied the L I G H T and S H A D O W that could be created with these folds within the paper. While touching into my newly found interest in photography, I was able to find a relationship between light and shadow and how their contrasts differ within different tones of light. I found an interest in the D R A M A T I C difference between between light and dark contrast in an image. The dramatic light change appeared beautiful, and while very different, they created B A L A N C E within each of the images taken with the different structures I made when folding paper together.
Set to be located in the field next to the Architecture building, Lee III Hall at Clemson University, this pavilion was designed using the design technique of ruled surfaces. While playing with L I G H T and S H A D O W , the focus of the design was to build a relationship between light and shadow and between public and private space. The different angled layers of the pavilion design create intimate pockets and communal spaces while also creating different entrances and exits into and from the pavilion, thus promoting
through it. The goal in the design was to create a multifunctional space where people can interact within the space created by the pavilion, giving it purpose. With the ability to be a place of study, relaxation, activity, or to get away from the busy campus, this ruled surface pavilion creates a unique

In the development of this project, the goal was to create a center where people from Cayce, South Carolina could come together and enjoy the art and culture from their area. In order to emphasize this, I focused on the the G
of the site. By layering blocks on top of each other, a space is created underneath the floors of the building, thus incentivizing human

where people can continue to find culture and being able to interact with the building without being inside of it and also creating circulation through the building externally and internally. With the addition of giant panels of glass walls, this art center creates a unique experience with
This building is designed to create a new environment that goes against the uniformity and predictability of a typical office space. With floors S H I F T I N G in different directions, this office building becomes a system of D I F F E R E N T I A L I T Y . Single, double, and triple height spaces create V O I D S within the plans of the office building. Vertical gardens allow for the natural world to come into the office space while the use of smartglass incorporates individuality, personalization, and V A R I A B I L I T Y to the office space, as well as the facade, while also reducing the use of energy within the building by controlling sunlight of different times and seasons. The opportunity to be in multiple different spaces, whether that be underground, in the air, stepping up or down will create a feeling of serendipity to anybody who interacts with this

The goal of this design was to design an affordable multi-unit house in Los Angeles, California by using 3D printing technology. The approach taken for this design was gaining affordability through sustainable design and an entrepreneurial approach. By having three different units, the owner is able to gain profit from their home by renting out the other two units. A green roof, natural pools, and a waste-water and rainfall gathering system, the units are able to lower water costs and consumption, energy conservation costs, maintenance costs, and give additional amenities and value to the units. The design also implements iconic Los Angeles design by mimicking the hills with which the site lies. It also contains exterior stepping to maximize the experience on these unique curves, allowing for circulation on every part of the design. This curved design allows us to take advantage of the 3D printing technology and maximize its use to its fullest form, using it for the roof, walls, furniture, exterior stepping, and floors. All together, these aspects of the design create a new typology for a growing Los Angeles.

THE ROOF DESIGN IS 1 FOOT THICK, THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE ROOF WOULD BE 3D PRINTED MATERIAL, WHILE THE TOP HALF WOULD BE GREENROOF TECHNOLOGY. THE ROOF THEN THINS AT THE END FOR A MORE ELEGANT TRANSITION AND EXTRUDING AN EXTRA HALF OF A FOOT. THE WINDOW IS PLACED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSITION FROM GREEN ROOF TO THE EDGE OF THE CURVE.
BENEFITS
GREEN ROOFS PROTECT THE ROOF FROM UV DECAY AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS THUS REDUCING THE COSTS OF MAINTENANCE AND RE-ROOFING GROWING MEMBRANCE IS GREAT INSULATION, WHICH REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF HEAT ENTERING THE HOME
GREEN ROOFS DECREASE STORM RUNOFF FOR WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT AT A LOWER COST
INCORPORATE URBAN LANDSCAPE TO THE HOME AND PROVIDE NEW HABITATS FOR DIFFERENT PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES IMPROVES THE MICROCLIMATE
The goal of this project was to design a public house in the city center of Genoa, Italy. The design of the Public House orchestrates a journey by harmonizing the private and public realm, the palazzo and villa, we took the function of the palazzo and expanded it horizontally to be absorbed by the garden and transformed the singular palazzo into compartmentalized buildings with dedicated programs. The layout consists of five buildings surrounding a centralized piazza, designed to transition between Genoa’s garden chain and the urban grid of piazza Colombo. The expanded organization of the site invites users to journey throughout each compartmentalized building through the central piazza. The local Mediterranean vegetation invades the complaex from the west, both flooding the piazza and indenting the facades with planting beds. Service spaces fill the gaps between each building, uniting each one as a continuous structure. The structure is also unified by the arcade and loggia, a functional symbol of the symbiosis of the public and private realm in the Public House. The design allows for free external circulation without violating the privacy of building interiors, while also creating serene spaces for users to step out and view the garden. The journey is evident through these thresholds from the outside carapace to the lush interior, the loggia to the indoors, and from building to building.
The presented drawings show the places I visited during my Study Abroad program in Genoa, Italy. Each was drawn during my personal travels and during Field Study trips with the professors. Places include Italy, Germany, France, Greece, and Denmark.
Designing and building furniture in my free time, ranging from a T.V. stand, Bookcase, and Bed Frame. Each consisted of discovering a precedent and building it from scratch out of wood. Doing these projects helped me to problem solve and be able to find the most cost efficient way to build expensive furniture on the market.

The accumulated work from my summer internship at Ferguson Architecture in Tacoma, Washington. During the internship, I worked on projects for Residential Buildings, Custom Houses, Stadium Locker Rooms, and Restaurants. I was able to 3D model existing buildings from a pointcloud in Revit as well as scan existing buildings with a Geoslam Lidar Scanner and upload it to Revit. I also did work in code documents, floor plans, sections, elevations, and did design work in the Conceptual Design phase. I worked in Conceptual Design and Schematic Design phases. The internship also inculded exposure to client meetings, site visits, and reading red-lined permit documents and making their required changes. In addition I also worked on Ferguson Architecture’s online website; including adding projects and revising the website.
*In the making of these documents, I was given freedom to design a restaurant for a client who was moving spaces for their restaurant. I was challenged to design an efficient space using the appliances they already had. It was also wanted by the client to have a discreet restroom area that was not visible to the dining room.
*I created these permit sets for a residential home to be renovated. This included floor plans, sections, and elevations. This project also consisted of going to the site and laser scanning the house, and taking it to the pointcloud to eventually uploading it to Revit to model the As-Built.
