knitted squares and chains

Using plaster, cloth, chains and knitted fabric,I designed pavilions applying catenary arches. This was one part of a three-part exploration of Louis Kahn’s “rigorous play”. For this process, I knitted different square and rectangular shapes, adhered them to boards at different places on a board and hung them up-side down.

This is an ongoing study on textiles, catenary curves and interaction. This exercise became increasingly important to me throughout my studies. Often when I found myself unable to think through my work, I would return to hanging as a way to think through organic shapes .

ARCH 1510 Studio: Architecture Foundations I Professor Virginia Melnyk Fall 2020

The first of two projects concerning the fundamental elements of architectural design laid out by our professors (folding, handing, bending and lofting), dealt with creating a grid to design the layout of an outdoor classroom on Clemson University campus.

By following COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, each area was designed for large and small classes and individual work spaces. For this project, I used what I learned in the previous handing project by using negative space, encouraging flexible circulation and practicing on moldable physical materials.

Being able to creatively solve a problem was what made this project the most interesting. Physical models have always been difficult for me. By using a simple shape and carving out of it , practicing skills for physical model making was crucial . Rendering was also a skill that was taught during this semester. Though I found it difficult, I really enjoyed attempting to create the mood of the environment.

Fall 2020

For the second of two projects concerning the fundamental elements of architectural design laid out by our professors (folding, handing, bending and lofting) we were tasked with designing an outdoor pavilion on Clemson University Campus. I choose to loft three curves , by using piece of white Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC, pipes.

The uncolored pipe would be used to highlight the environment around and imitate the exposed structure of Clemson’s Arts, Architecture and Humanities building, Lee Hall . The Ruler Pavilion was an exercise on understanding human proportions and interaction with the surrounding environment . During this project, I became very dependent on my sketchbook and found sketching a vital part in my design process.

In the first project regarding urban design fundamentals, building egress codes, and zoning we designed an open floor multi-use building in New York City. The nearby High-line and immediate mid-sized buildings informed how views were views were established per floor. An open floor plan encouraged large co-working spaces that are able to be navigated easily for both workers and visitors. The louver system allows the individual to control and condense light with authority, like a light dimmer. With the control of an app, the movable facade can change for a certain condition, a view or used to create a movable facade.

The louver system is created by individual 2’ x 11’ louver panels fixed on a 13’ rod .This allows for the panels to rotate around the pin. Each rod and panel is attached to a rail system. Every floor has a unique rail system. The initial idea was to have each louver individually moved by hand, but after discovering the projected weight of each panel, having panels rotated by automation by app was more believable. Additionally adding that louvers can be moved in groups of 5 or more and individually was also suggested.

ARCH 4010: Diplomacy Studio

Professor Dr. Carlos Barrios Kleiss

Fall 2022

For this project, we were tasked with designing a United States embassy in Santiago, Chile in conjuncture with KCCT Architects in Washington, D.C. We had the pleasure of meeting with them many times throughout the semester. Though we were asked to create renovation plans for the already established embassy, The decision to remodel the entire site. The concept of “transparency” came from many conversations with professors and students about how to design in a foreign country with American history in mind. By making the design more transparent,thissymbolizes a desire for more open American outreach in regards to diplomacy. We also mentored by our local Precast Concrete Institute (PCI) chapter to study precast concretes contribution to architecture industry worldwide and its properties.
