ABOUT

My passion for design lies within spatial experiences, intimate proportions, and unlikely material relationships. Design is most successful when the body is highly regarded and impacted experientially. My concepts generate spaces, forms, and systems that form deep connections with site, material, and body.

VERNACULAR DYNAMISM Public Installation, Miami FL

The Miami Riverwalk successfully traverses Downtown Miami and flows into areas of Little Havana where it is neglected and under-developed. This crucial point in the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path inland has the location potential for complete immersion of culture, environment, and community. This proposal allows the disjointed community to gather in a revitalized space. The installations would encourage walkability between neighborhoods and commercialized areas, reducing pedestrian traffic on busier streets. A series of acrylic panels cluster in key points along the riverwalk and serve as crucial anchors close to the surrounding neighborhoods. As the body walks over or rests against each panel, light emits from within. Meanwhile the wind at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge pushes into corresponding panels from behind and also activates a lighting system. A symphony of lights then illuminates the path as the body forms a closer relationship with the surrounding natural forces through touch, sight, and sound.

Thermal | Absorbing sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat to inhibit lighting experiences in response to temperature.

Wind | Portraying strong wind patterns, direction, and motion through visual and tactile senses.

Seasonal | Giving light to those who have lost power through natural causes.

SEA WATER RISING Museum Exhibit | Miami, FL

This exhibit for the Miami Children’s Museum depicts a variety of water properties to highlight sea level changes. The space becomes an educational tool as children experiment with water vortices, a wave generator, and a flood table that speaks of Miami’s critical sea level rise issues. A floating pad is tethered above water as children discover displacement properties with their body weight and a ninefoot deep hole is drilled into the limestone below to teach about South Florida’s foundation.

THREE-WAY DENSITY Urban Design | Miami, FL

Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Government Center lacks three different types of density: hardscape density, plant density and shadow density. This proposal involves sustainable strategies that harmoniously unite the center and its activities through multiple densification methods. The proposed organization creates more hardscape density that therefore provides adequate shadows to protect the pedestrian paths from the sun, decreasing the Heat Island Effect. Landscape is derived from the pedestrian paths and form rain gardens to effectively filter rain water. These gardens travel up the corresponding building facades and turn into living walls. The gardens also extend out into the city as bioswales to filter storm water run-off. This prevents waste from the streets from flowing into the Miami River. Trees are also strategically placed by south facing windows to filter direct sunlight.

IMPRINT + INDENTATION Pavilion| Miami Beach, FL

Observations and geometries from foot imprints in the sand are translated into the form of this pavilion for a musician. The musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body helps to dictate form as the body gets indented into the architecture through a series of sloping planes and inclinations on the ground. Not only is the body imprinted in the architecture, but the music is as well. In areas where the body cannot reach, speakers fill the voids and create a new sense of indentation. Music is carried out of the pavilion and onto the landscape in illuminated strips that organize the forms of grass. Perspective is distorted and the site becomes a device that questions the skin of what is public and what is private. The ground also begins to undulate, leaving room for the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imprints.

INTIMACY + OPENNESS Pavilion | Tokyo, Japan

This proposal transforms a pedestrian overpass in Tokyo, Japan into an intimate market space and open performance area. The pedestrian bridge now involves a series of affects which include intimacy, openness and precariousness. These three sensations fold into one another via structure, skin and program. A sense of intimacy is acquired through both the architecture and the body. A variety of small market modules fill the central space, leaving room for the essential pedestrian path. Circulation from each point of the intersection stays evident, but the ability to wander becomes an important sensation throughout. Above, a performance space forms from the unfolding of the intimate spaces below. The skin opens and folds into small amphitheaters and seating arrangements. Hanging from the market level are observation platforms which allow an intense immersion with the traffic below.

BLURRING BOUNDARIES Infill Housing | Savannah, GA

An infill housing system that blurs the boundaries between commercial program, city life, and the individual while maintaining a strong sense of privacy for the home. Materiality, variations of views, and continuous green spaces subtly blur the line between the individual and the city.

URBAN FILTER

Urban Park and Library| Miami Beach, FL This urban park design takes the topographical level changes of the area and introduces them into a much smaller scale. The proposal brings awareness to an ever-changing landscape. In the library, programs respond to morning, afternoon, and evening sun differently as the progression of knowledge is emphasized by natural lighting effects within each space. The library is a tool for teaching the public how to improve how it acts towards the environment. It speaks of sustainability; the energy used inside comes from solar glass windows. The proposal brings awareness to the ever-changing solar patterns that affect the area.

MIAMI 2100

Museum Exhibit | Coral Cables, FL Miami is depicted at a 1â&#x20AC;?=200â&#x20AC;&#x2122; scale model that illustrates the predicted effects of sea level rise on the city. The model shows the city at three, four, and six feet of sea level rise. A variety of materials and colors organize the city into water, land, building, and change in water elevation. Major buildings of downtown Miami and Miami Beach are depicted as 3D printed elements. Three sets of LED light strings show where sea level rise will take place over the course of one hundred years. A remote controlled switch controls these lights. One button illuminates areas that flood at three feet of sea level rise, another illuminates four feet of sea level rise and the third illuminates six feet of sea level rise.
