Sand trapping and beach reconstruction over time

Infrastructural Retention

Vlore, Albania is a city with unique climatic, seasonal, and economical challenges that change based on winter and summer conditions. The Sands of Time is a two stage proposal for a housing project that addresses sses these various temporal experiences. The first stage of the project is to optimize interstitial space within units in order to foster a temporal relationship between permenant inhabitants and momentary visitors.

The guests expeditetemporary markets during summer months when the he city is thriving with vacationers. The houses are located on an ecologically ern sensitive beach that is prone to erosion from western winds and nor thern tidal drift. The current situation displaces the beach to a more nor thernn locaton in Vlore. The second stage of the proposal exists to create “sand dune housing” that will trap sand on the beach for later disbursement. ement.

The project, over time, willrestore the beach from rapid erosion by trapping pping sand initially via the strategic landscaping, and secondarily-on the sur face of the structures.

Water and Wellness

Graduate Studio in Helsinki, Finland

Urban Wellness Center

The proposal identifies an existing issue within the city and seeks an oppor tunity to improve it.

The project-an elderly health and wellness center is based off the asser tion of the ageing population of Finland and its current and anticipated strain on healthcare resources.

The facility located in the hear t of downtown Helsinki, Finland is programmed to provide different ameneties in the form of pools and saunas each programmed how you would program space.

Pools for therapy and rehabilitation are found on the lower levels of the facility, social pools, spas and bubblers are on the mid levels, and exercise based pool experiences are located at the typical higher levels. The introduction of half levels reduces the distance for the users to travel to enjoy the different pools,as seen in the diagram right.The fluctuating pool depths and sizes become expressed through an undulating wood ceiling and provides a sense of warmth and comfor t through material expression.

Trinity Stool

Graduate Furniture Design

Sp Spring r in g 2015 2015

8 Week W ee k Design/ De sig n/ Production P r o d u c t io n

Much like the Original Alvar Aalto stool, the Trinity Stool draws inspiration from the simplcities of geometry. It uses the number three to manipulate the perception of depth and skew one’s understanding of balance. The stool uses three bent wire legs that are arranged in a trilateral pattern that weave in between and around each other to visually alter the position of each leg.

The circular wooden seat is uncomplicated and floats atop the entangled supports. The stool was also design for ease of production, minimizing the parts and making packing and shipping easy and affordable.
