Water's Reflection

Professional Team Rowing Center Location: Academic Year: Type: Software:

Ford Lake,MI Winter 2019 Athletics Facility Rhino, Grasshopper, Illustrator, Photoshop

In the world of competitive rowing, efficiency is held highly as both a personal and performative aspect. The design of this boathouse worked to build upon these ideas of efficiency by creating a space for young rowers to not only compete as a team but rest and train as well.

The lowest level is delegated to the storage and use of rowing shells, and as one moves farther up the structure, program becomes less training intensive going from practice to rest. The system culminates in an inhabitable roof where views of the lake and competition can be enjoyed. This three tiered system of row, workout, and recover create an enclosed sytem that allows competitors to better connect beyond just the rowing shell.

2: Three Windows Up Residential Construction Precedent Group Project Location: Academic Year: Type: Software: Collaborators:

Northville, MI Fall 2017 Single Family Home Rhino, AutoCAD, Illustrator, Photoshop Gain Annovert, Ethan Hop

The intent of this series of drawings were to build a broad understanding of construction assemblies, material systems and building enclosure, while demonstrating a mastery of the conventions of technical documentation and three-dimensional imagination.

This precedent looks recreating both the design and construction ideology of Einfamilienhaus in Krumbach by Bernardo Bader Architekten.

Understanding and recreation of construction methodology simultaneously in drawing and model was the ultimate goal of the project. The project imparted the various skills to create a fully functioning set of construction plans, detail sections, and system model.

In the last decade, unyielding progress has been made towards the creation of open spaces for communal cultural experience. The charge of this project was to create a “sub-cultural” center that focused on bringing one not-often highlighted group in society to light with their own space of recognition. The subculture highlighted here is the recent phenomenon of Maker Culture: a society of people passionate and dedicated to the spirit of making with one’s own hands and bringing ideas/solutions into the world through the act of invention.

4: Collecting Intangibles Adaptive re-imagining of Detroit's treasured library collections Location: Detroit, MI Academic Year: Fall 2021 Type: Public infrastructure, landscape design, institution programming Software: Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, GIS, Public Records Research,

With technology and the modern era moving library collections away from the physical written form, this composition looks to put a greater emphasis on the Detroit public library as a center for collecting and celebrating the intangible cultural heritage present in metropolitan cities like Detroit.

This is achieved by pulling out and programifying the collections of music artifacts, auditory histories, and cultural traditions already present in the DPL and organizing them into two new “commons” situated on the Woodward avenue facing side of the building. Connecting these two new fields is a newly proposed axis running counter to the original classical building. Much like how the original transfers academic information across its path, this new path looks to mix and translate these new cultural ideas across the building’s programs.
