Ocean View K-8 Elementary
ASSIGNMENT
DESIGN
This project prompt was to design a school that supported the humanistic approach to pedagogy. It needed to accommodate 750 students from grade levels K-8. In addition to classroom spaces, the design proposal needed to provide facilities for dining, interactive study, art/ eurythmy, a library, administration and parking. The spaces also needed to be very safe for children.
“Humanism is about personal autonomy, moral responsibility, and about solidarity with humanity. The tension between autonomy and social involvement is the core of humanism.� - Education and Humanism. Autonomy gives children a sense of independence and control over their own development and forms the internal core of the individual to which all other components respond. In this design, the courtyard represents the sense of autonomy present in every individual. It is the core off of which all other spacesare linked, especially those designed to encourage connection. The other major aspect of humanism is connection with humanity. Surrounding the internal courtyard core are the spaces that encourage interaction with others. These spaces include the library, the art/ eurythmy room and the cafeteria space where kids are allowed to communicate, collaborate and learn from their peers.

chrysler campus gallery and mixed use
ASSIGNMENT
DESIGN
This project prompt was to design a gallery space for special collections exhibits for the Chrysler Museum. The designs needed to react to the context of the area and activate the nearby arts district by creating a campus environment that was controlled by the Chrysler Museum. We were given freedom to design one or more buildings to facilitate this, and we were also able to choose our own site within a specified region.
The main goal of this design was to create a series of spaces and experiences that would help knit the ‘Chrysler Campus’ together and support active pedestrian usage, while fulfilling program needs. This design consists of two buildings: a special collections museum and a mixed use building. Both buildings contain transparent paths that lead to a main plaza, as well as smaller supporting outdoor spaces. The special collections building contains two major zones that are connected by its interior path/ lobby space: a restaurant with a waterfront view and the museum display space. The mixed use building contains two wings that are connected by a transparent ‘gateway’ to the main plaza. It contains ground floor offices around a more private courtyard and retail stores that front the street. The upper floors contain residential studios and 1 and 2 bedroom apartments.

sea level rise - the hague
AREA MAP The Sea Level Rise class was started in the fall of 2014. This class is a collaborative effort with engineering students from Old Dominion University and aims to deal with the problem of water management within the context of rising sea levels. I joined the class in the fall of 2015, and our project was based in The Hague, Norfolk, VA: an area that has seen dramatic increases in the frequency and intensity of coastal and storm event flooding. With the site’s many challenges in mind, our task was to design methods of mitigating coastal flooding with barriers and storm event flooding with “sponges” or retention techniques. To deal with coastal flooding, the team designed two options for creating a barrier around the coastline of The Hague. We also wanted to design these barriers in a way that didn’t feel restrictive and preserved the quality of the views and feel of the area. The first proposal was a sheet pile wall which raised a wall along the coast and incorporated an underground toe drain, bio-retention and running paths, which were an important feature of the area. The second was a water actuated wall which deployed from a sunken sleeve during a flood event to prevent water from flowing inland and also incorporated a toe drain, bio-retention and running paths.
PERMEABLE PAVING STREET SECTION
PERMEABLE PAVING STREET PLAN
To address the issue of storm event flooding, our main goal was to use as many feasible solutions as possible to incrementally lessen the problem. On a larger scale, we designed swales and systems of underground cisterns to accommodate larger volumes of water. At a street scale, we utilized low impact design strategies that included permeable paving for parking lanes and sidewalks, bio retention verges and tree wells. Residents also wanted to do their part towards helping the problem, and so we designed rooftop disconnects and backyard cisterns to address flooding on the homeowner’s lot.
