studio_i_the last supper_
sophomore studio
In our introductory studio, we designed a building based off of historical and biosocial context: I reimagined the Last Supper within an avante-guarde and minimalistic context. I focused on texture, line, simplicity to convey the story of the religious figure, Jesus Christ, and the betrayal from his disciple, Judas.

studio_ii_bIOMimicry_sand filtration
I studied the biomimicry of a dragonfly to create an intervention that incorporates the retired sand filtration sites on Howard University campus in Washington, D.C.
The cross sections show how light is infiltrated through a glass window so the intersection of the underground sand filtration site creates

professor : Evelyn tickle
In the architecture elective, Materials and Methods, I did a case study on Japanese brutalist architect Tadao Ando, famous for his use of unconventional methods in concrete, specifically focusing on light and water and religion.

oyster board
biomimicry studio iii professor Evelyn tickle
In the architecture elective, materials and methods, we designed a game to introduce different materials to a younger audience to demonstrate knowledge and teach about materiality.
We created glass, wooden and concrete models and the goal of the game was simply to play and become faimilar with real life materials used in building architecture at a scale that made sense to children.
I studied the biomimicry of an oyster to help adapt architecture postpandemic, much like humans are modeling water retention programs on the coast to respond to climate change.
At 1:1” scale, I mapped out concentric circles within an oyster, then I scaled it up to a 2’ x 2’ wooden board studio_ii_bIOMimicry_5 boroughs of nyc, ny

In the architecture elective, materials and methods, we created a component of built architecture. I partnered with Allie Deverona on Tadao Ando’s Water Temple in Kyoto, Japan.
We built physical models at 1/16” scale of the Japanese Lattice and Water Component, respectively, to demonstrate comphrehensive understanding of material methodology in modelmaking.
