INTENT
To design a habitat for pollinators at the Kampong, National Tropical Botanical Garden. The installations are meant to encourage interaction between pollinators and human visitors
CONCEPT
After observing the site I developed an interest in the cycles of growth and decay.
The Idea that fueled the later design was of a tree gradually decaying, the remnants of which become the home for small creatures that benefit from and further decomposition.
Wrapping, porocity and the connection to ground became important themes in the design.

TEXTURE INSPIRATION
INSECT HABITAT
COLOR INSPIRATION
In plan, the design mimics the base of a tree. This form allows the human observer to enter, take a seat and view the pollinators at their level.
MATERIAL STUDIES
The original prototype models were PLA 3D prints joined with construction adhesive and finished with spackle and spray paint. This method of assembly was messy and fell apart in a matter of weeks. The final colors and textures were also not ideal for the main design intent.
Exploring a variety of materials and construction methods would allow for a better understanding of the form and how to reproduce it.
CONCRETE MATERIAL STUDY
By carving foam, wrapping it in an aluminum mesh, and coating it in cement mortar I was able to create a solid representation of the design.
An important aspect of this test was to understand quantities, both in material terms and in time for production and curing.

COMPONENT IN PLACE
This was a quick project to measure, replicate and replace a damaged wooden chair component. This approach brings new life and a point of interest to old furniture. CHAIR

3D PRINTED MODEL
The request was made for the production of a 3D model of the FIU Trish and Dan Bell Chapel. To compete the task, a new digital model was created based on the existing files provided by the project architects, Gurrimatute.
Render shown is from Gurrimatute.
There were a number of iterations and test models made
I unfortunately was not able to photograph the final model before delivery to the client

PROJECT IN DEVELOPMENT
DESIGNER: JADAYNE SMITH
INTENT
To create a temporary wall system that maximizes usable display space in a sustainable, non-damaging way. The inspiration for this idea came from working in the historic Washington Gallery in Miami Beach where the walls and floors can not be harmed in any way.
PROBLEM
Gallery and event spaces are often restrictive and limit the methods of installations they would allow. Display spaces often need to be subdivided to be best utilized but traditional partitions occupy valuable storage space when not in use.
SOLUTION
By creating a modular, free standing system, a space can be transformed to meet design needs. The system can also be rented for temporary events with less comitment for the customer

MASSING
BRIEF
The client’s request is for a mid-rise medical centre to be built on a lot adjacent to their existing diagnostics centre and clinic. This new centre houses 18 Rental Units, a pharmacy and operating theatre.
Scheduled to be built Summer 2022.
LOCATION
THE DESIGN
CONCEPTUAL PARTI
The main focus of this design was the internal atrium but features asymmetrical feature on each facade. The combination of concrete, glass and metal offers a contemporary design with clean elements and prominent shading devices.
CONCEPT
The general concept is built upon projecting masses and ‘L” shaped forms. There have been many iterations, however, the concept may still be seen in the corner treatments and materiality.
MY INVOLVEMENT
I was the main contributer on this project with supervision from the Head Architect, Arch. Susan Taylor.

GROWTH
A visual representation of the difficult changes a young person must endure. This is a transition from childhood to adulthood. Growth was drawn the year after I finished my undergraduate degree. My parents moved away and I was working to support myself. This marked the first time I was really independent, needing to process the world on my own.
