Trinity Fields
Connecting with the Outdoors
As a group of three, our goal is to create an unobtrusive and sustainable design that is both efficient and enriches the ecological state of our site. Our design has a light touch, aware of its environment, and inclusive for all incoming visitors on the site. Within our program we have flexible gathering spaces from indoor to outdoor, public and private, and within these spaces we increase opportunity for movement throughout the site through the interconnection of three buildings.

How to create an unobtrusive and sustainable design that is both efficient and enriches the ecological state of the site?
The placement of the 3 northern buildings emerged from the geometry of the site. When viewing the area in plan, the angle of the tree line emerges with a direct view to the sacred field. Here you will find the main building, education building and the gallery building. By splitting the program into 3 builidings allowed the opportunity to sculpt into the landscape and not drastically disrupt the historical surroundings.

Mercado Delta is a partner project that was designed for the people of Barcelona. It contains over 20 vendor stalls, and ample space for recreation, leisure, and connections. Barcelona is known for its accesibility and walkability. Therefore,
Mercado Delta was created with the intent to continue the ease of an endless passage from the city to the water.

EVO House
x = (v)((u)(v)(sin(u)))+((v)(cos((u)+(0.50u)))
y = (cos(4u)/4+u(cos(v)))(u)+(sin(6u)14)+((u)(cos(u))+((v)(cos(u+u))) z=(sin(u+v))(4+(sin(v/6))(sin(u))+11)
The Evo House became a home for a one of a kind lifestyle. The intriguing factor was not only designing for someone, but desiging for someone by usuing technology and mathmatical coding. Learning how to manipulate the code to create shapes in 2D form and then in 3D. Continuing with a single shape, where used the software, Rhino, to my advantage and evolved my creation into Evo House.

Another Perspective
Being Defining Reasoning
When situations affect everyday life, we find new meanings
And what once was is now that and more, or never to be seen as a singular use again
An Update
An intertwining of worlds
A digital within a physical
Images through a screen creating a tangible world
...Metaverse
Where are we dwelling?
Are we no longer in search of it?
Only excepting the minuscule of moments that are captured in spaces with no names
Because we can have it anywhere with the right accommodations
Accommodations that are easily placed, accessed, and conjured
Demanding and controlling through a screen
An inevitable advancement and an understandable one for recent time
But in the attempt to reconnect there is interference In the new age of tech and communication
Yet there is still the urge for physicality, Until there is not
The processing of space, location, safety, staying reasonable, having ease
As we open new ways of being, there are attempts at balancing both ends of the spectrum
What is receding and what is emerging is changing in all aspects of work and life
Designing for the living with means of place, when the term is fitting into spaces that were never considered before
How are we dwelling?
In spaces
In locations of any distance
In reason of safety
In alignment to our everyday lives
Reasoning with ourselves so we are able to dwell
To live, to be free and at peace.

This part of the book is dediticated to other peices of work have done over the years. From expressing myself through other artistic activites, to my enjoyment of architecture alone. do have an interest in poetry and above is an exerpt of a short poem wrote after spending a semester deep dive into Martin Heidegger and writing my own take of his short story ‘Building Dwelling Thinking’.
