COHESION CONNECTIVITY SYNERGY
The new building is the heart of the college of design, a vein to connect campus circulation, and a healing experience for the local ecology.

Disaster-relief architecture calls for atypical materials. In working with tensile materials and structural advisors, it was crucial in my process to stay playful in models that adapted over time to meet the needs of the project.

The dominant culture has always controlled design, expecting Black culture to adapt to it. This design speaks to Black use of space through an intersection of familiar literalism of African Drums and cultural use of space.
This studio required trial & LOTS of error. This was my most difficult studio, but it changed the logic and intent I design with. I had to check my biases multiple times, but in the end, the community members I worked with felt seen by the project.

The task was to dismantle the colonialism & imperialism imposed upon Puerto Rico through design. Transparency was my priority. Checks and balances manifested in the nearby Supreme Court & in exposed parliamentary spaces.

Puerto Rico must be equipped to handle days on end without electricity. Natural cooling mechanisms like cross ventilation and adjustable louvers are imperative for use as an emergency shelter.

Spaces are not fixed or separate but flow from one to the next like the brewing process, This method allows for flexibility and adaptive future use.
Inspired by offsetting the large water waste of brewing, this louver system slopes to feed into a filtration system where gray water is repurposed. It portrays a design of the Willamette River.

Light equity questions how health disparities can be amplified by job position and prolonged time spent in different offices/lighting conditions.
MY ROLE
My role included designing the office spaces in which the simulations took place, as well as leading the diagrammatic analysis and co-authoring the scientific journal article.
There are 2 design variations: a square and a square-courtyard building. Two sky conditions are measured: cloudy vs. full sun, and behavioral studies assess how the hierarchy of jobs affect people’s overall health. We assess occupants and spaces by the WELL Standard. We will present this article at BS2023 in September.

There is little research done on the development of the early penitentiary model and how its history shaped its architectural dialect. Historiography surrounding the early models of penitentiary architecture are confined to singular locations of study. This essay aims at a cross examination between the three earliest penitentiary designs. The integration between their individual histories align to accumulate the foundation for reformed penological design. Primary sources used, most notably, are architectural reviews, visits from observers, notes from architects, architectural plans, and photographs.
T he first three prisons of penitentiary reform all had distinct and important contributions to the foundational practices of the penitentiary design. Conclusions point to the Walnut Street Jail setting foundations regarding materiality, small confines, and individual cell design. Western State Penitentiary’s initial design is a precedent bridging connection between solitary confinement and structural design and how critical they are to the longevity, or lack thereof, for a prison. Finally, the Eastern State Penitentiary was the first successful and long-established design to fully encapsulate architectural integration between design and penitentiary penology.
This collage exemplifies my passions in localizing food relationships.
This collage is meant to expose the divide between innovation in sustainability and technology in high-end housing and the simultaneous abandonment of buildings, housing shortages, and inaccessibility of quality housing.
