Personal Statement From the moment I first saw a blueprint in my parent's office, I was captivated by the way a simple drawing could translate into a physical structure that shapes lives. Architecture has become more than just a building to me; it is a reflection of culture, innovation, and human interaction with space. My passion for architecture stems from a deep curiosity about how design influences daily experiences. I am eager to develop my skills, embrace new challenges, and contribute to innovative and sustainable design solution. Studying architecture is not just a career choice for me- It is a lifelong persuit of transforming ideas into reality.

LIO LAB/ ISU X UPN DESIGN BUILD STUDIO Professor: Peter Zuroweste Studio project R245+MXV, Chorrillos 15057, Peru Chorillos Institucion Educativa Fe y Alegria 34

This studio is an inaugural iteration of SeT (Socio-environmental Technologies) Lab Peru which will unfold as an international collaboration in thinking and making between the Department of Architecture at ISU (Ames, IA), the Department of Architecture at UPN (Universidad Privada Del Norte, Lima, Peru), and a network of community leaders and stakeholders in neighborhoods on the periphery of the Peruvian cities of Lima, Trujillo, and Cajamarca. More specifically, students and faculty in Ames and Lima will work with Espacios A+ - a Lima-based social responsibility initiative geared towards the improvement of classrooms, playgrounds, and gardens in Peru's under-served K-12 educational institutions - to develop "front porch" prototypes that connect schools' internal dynamics with the neighborhoods within which they're situated.

The research is driven by a problem with real and imaginary socio-spatial barriers: K-12 school buildings on the periphery of Peruvian cities trend towards fortress-like expressions of concrete masonry block walls that separate children from their communities. The research question which follows is: how can we dissolve the divisions between schools and their neighborhoods to

XY STUDIO Professor: Paul Mankins Collaborator: Katelyn Vassey Drake University, Des Moines, IA

Our project is a proposal for a new art building in Drake University that can accommodate 6 workshop like wood, metal, ceramic, print-making, mix media, and others for students to use. Offices and meeting rooms are incorporated for faculties to use. Our goal in this project is to create a wellbeing building that incorporate many unique designs such as more windows for natural lights, spacious lobby, warm color tone, and greenery surroundings. XY Studio is also strategically design in a perpendicular series of rhythmic pattern that forms a harmonious intersect in the middle where a transition of space and materials from a modern look to a older look. In addition, we design sky wells on massing X is to reduce the weight and allow passive heating and cooling to the building.

ENSEMBLE Professor: Anna Aversing Collaborator: Gianna Bellizzi Urban Housing in Hell's Kitchen, New York

Ensemble blends private housing and public performance to create an open and inviting space. The design embraces fluidity and rhythmic patterns while emphasizing the capabilities of a mass timber structure. Ensemble stands in contrast to the cold, lonely environment of Hudson Yards, and creates a space where occupants can gather and engage with each other, enriching the surroundings community. The design also blends the rigidity of timber structure with the fluidity of wooden fins. Ultimately, Ensemble is a warm, alluring environment that provides opportunities for performers in New York City and enables members of the community to benefit from the experiential space.

Given the unique site, we wanted to maximize our structural system within the space by using a radial grid system. We understand that the radial grid would require varying spans between columns in each bay framing system, but since the bays are repeated vertically, it is possible to use this system. Similarly, we considered that the bay framing system would create a column-free space in the public areas, and help distinguish between rooms in the resident floors.
