Fitness Factory
Professor Iman Ansari Autumn 2021As an artificial product of modern culture, fitness has emerged as a new standard of health and well-being. This project considers the recreation center as a space where athletic bodies are manufactured: a Fitness Factory. Machine-trained bodies move through a series of tubes from one space to another–much like the various stages in an assembly line–where the athletic bodies are gradually assembled and produced in the process.

Elevated Design
The Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany is an epicenter of design and creation. Often serving as a starting point in design, this prototyping center takes simple geometric shapes and exalts them. Squares, rectangles, and circles plunge through each plan to form monumental spaces.
Elevated Design is a prototyping center for the Vitra Campus with additional space for public and private archives.

Co-Working Tower
Professor Justin Diles Spring 2022
As co-working companies like WeWork continue experiencing rapid growth, the demand for a diversity of co-working spaces increases. Through the offset and rotation of six “stacks” of octagonal pods, this tower answers that demand. Each intersection creates opportunities for different types of collaboration; individuals, small businesses, larger companies, and visitors can all find suitable space, and all will find new opportunities for inter-professional and intra-professional collaboration.
Protruding through the building are three larger community spaces. Though each contains varying program, these spaces are designed for collaboration between individuals and groups.

Bridging The Gap
With Siana Bennett and Skylar Briggs Professor Iman Ansari Autumn 2022
In a nation with an increasing need for behavioral healthcare, new approaches must be taken to treat this vulnerable population. By manipulating boundaries to support and protect the healing process, this hospital takes a community approach to behavioral healthcare. Moving corridors separate pavilions of the hospital, acting as stairs in the upright position and a bridge in the horizontal.
Community experiences and accountability between peers are important factors in treating behavioral health, so community is a focus from the layout of rooms to the large community centers in each wing. Controlled, safe access to nature and the surrounding community contribute to positive patient experiences.
