ABOUT ME I am an architecture student studying at Ball State University. While being a part of Ball State CAP program it has given me insight on a great deal of important information about architecture. During the semester it has allowed me to gather information regarding time management and to figuring out how architecture has a true meaning.

As a young architect, the goal is to not only put a stamp on the topic of architecture in the world but to give attention to detail and critique a craft. It has expanded my knowledge of architecture and enhanced my design details. This semester has helped me with time management as well as elaborating my mind into understanding there is a true background meaning into architecture. I hope to better and broaden my skills and become more knowledgeable about the overall expertise of architecture in the coming years.

COVER LETTER Throughout my journey in architecture school, I’ve been lead along many ventures. It has been a rollercoaster, that ultimately has guided onto a path filled with passion and integrity. I am a student at Ball State University, whom yearns to leave a lasting impression and to evolve the world. I can assure you that a firm will provide me with the room to develop and hone in on my overall development in architecture. As an architecture student, I look forward to applying a stamp on communities.

As being more drawn to form I want to always take humans into consideration while designing. While studying architecture I’ve come to find out the art of design and the creation of art is evolving, not only because humans need shelter and an evolved way of life. While that involves change, change that we can identify through commercial work, residential, and industrial work.

Creating new ways for the future is essential. But learning from the mistakes and not being afraid to fall in process to succeed would be most valuable in my eyes to almost any aspect of life.

Pushing the boundaries of architecture itself, while determining beauty in art is basically a requirement for future endeavors.

Although, beauty is a word that can be opinionated, in terms what is beauty and what makes things beautiful. Architecture has brought out a side that expresses itself freely, but in a rigorous way. The way I see it is, the buildings are designed to be coherent to the existing context but show form and a more futuristic and modern time designs through innovation. While designing to be an inspiration to oneself.

The skills I foresee myself being able to expand upon are design, rendering and technical skills. With the knowledge I know the firm can pour into me, I will then have the opportunity to increase a variety of skills and design qualities. Along with the design aspects that I bring, while portraying skills in paying attention to detail. I have advanced my skills in rhino, enscape, and other software. While pursuing design such as commercial, industrial design, and sustainability which I can then implement in the real world.

BIRD HOUSE The principal of the bird house is to create an environment where man and species can be safe and correlate together. The aviary explores the acts of hovering, while inhabiting three territorial birds: bald eagle, northern flicker, and red shoulder hawk.

The ornithology center portrays wood as a primary element. While pushing the boundaries of bending and twisting in its structure.

The aviary provides immense adaptation that allows the roof to flow down through the hanging cage module.

TRUST MUSEUM Ja’Shawn Keys

The Trust museum looks to embody a comfortable, safe, and stable place that the human body can rely on. The Trust Museum is a form-oriented structure that reflects aspects of structural challenges of which include: multi-story, cantilever, curved surfaces, and innovative use of experimental structure. While also portraying a non-hierarchy scheme, that allows the structure to encompass the architecture and be a literal meaning behind its name.

SERENITY Serenity is a retreat, on the northern coast of San Francisco, designed for Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The retreat provides the client an opportunity to embrace change while relaxing and basking in liberation. This is accomplished by minimizing walls on the main floor, while separating library, office, and living space in a way that continues to capture the feeling of openness.

The retreat embodies serenity and supplies the client with expansive quarters to disengage and release in ones authentic form; conversely to the immense tension Ali had encountered in her childhood. The building will cantilever, overlooking the Pacific Ocean while illustrating sustainable features via water management, food security, and climate change. While inspiration is drawn from Ali’s gentle yet powerful demeanor; the design will incorporate organic architecture that complements its natural surroundings.
