Christ Church Literary Pavilion

The challenge of this project was to design a literary pavilion located in Old City Philadelphia at the corner of Second Street and Market Street. My design statement was to create a connection between Christ Church and the city through an urban integration using public space. I mainly seek to direct the pedestrian by creating an urban window generating an urban axis integrating a historical building with one of the most popular streets in Philadelphia, Market Street.

The building itself consists of two main spaces which are connected through a glass entrance which works as an urban window towards Christ Church. Due to this, two parks with their own distinctive characteristics are created. The first one is the largest and busiest park and the second one is on the back facing Christ Church being intimate with quiet character with more places to sit and a lot of shade provided by the trees.

Historic Drawing Indiana Repertory Theater

The challenge of this project consists of CAD draw in which I will show a building present between the historical periods worked on in class. In this case I chose a theater located in Indianapolis which presents a Spanish baroque revival architectural style which caught my attention and which was quite a challenge to draw and decipher. The building was traced in AutoCAD and painted in Photoshop from scanned plans dated back from 1926 that I found on the internet

Sears House

The Homewood

The challenge of this project was to create a Revit model using an old Sears kit house advertisement and through the analysis of the floor plan and its description, I had to design a decent model with the correct proportions and give it a modern touch.
