A MODERN MILL VILLAGE GREENVILLE, South Carolina

ARCH 3510 | Fall 2023 Instructor: Richard Del Monte

A modern Mill village is an urban development influenced by Greenville’s historic mill villages as we incorporate its planning strategies into our design. We planned out four blocks withing the thriving city of Greenville and introduced a series of buildings that contributed to the introduction of a new corporation.

The task was then to design and assess the corporate building in its new environment.

EIGHTH FLOOR PLAN

The Attis Building is a 22-floor office building in Greenville. The Attis is the heart of the village, being the most monumental and prominent entity on our site. The building has three volumes that shift from one another, cantilevering on both sides. The volumes themselves are categorized into three different shading systems.

Each volume is controlled by the worker. The Panels are operated according to the desire of the individual according to the time of day. The beauty of the façade is the communal chaos that is created with an ever-changing system.

CONSUMED

BY NATURE Clemson, South Carolina

ARCH 3520 | SPRING 2023 Instructor: Bradford Watson

Consumed By Nature was a project to capture the presence of birds in nature through our five senses. Harrison Underwood and I were set to design a bird observatory on the impact of birds in urban environments. The project was also set to tackle other concerning problems related to the site in terms of human intervention.

03| A PUBLIC MEETING Chelsea, New York City

Partner: Robert Smith ARCH 3500 | Fall 2022 Instructor: David Lee

A public meeting is our take on the concept of a third space.

Coined by Ray Oldenburg as a place between home and work, a third space has the social aspect of the office environment with the hospitality of home. A public meeting was developed with the intention of bridging a connection between the public and private realm. The objective is to provide an opportunity for spontaneous interaction between one another, strengthening our community.

For our façade, we exam the various levels of sun exposure on our building through a series of rendered images collected through out the day and layered on top of each other. The exposed areas of sunlight and layered shadows were then given different values of color, achieving the sun exposure diagram.

The façade was then created following a grid system by our trusses. Our skin was developed based on the concept of the sun diagram, allowing cool areas to be widely exposed while the warmer areas are more concentrated and concealed from the sun. Our skin is broken up into panels that is sustained by a series of connections.

CONVERGING PATH Clemson, South Carolina

ARCH 2510 | Fall 2021 Instructor: Amy Trick

Set on the beach of Clemson's Snow Complex, Converging Path unites two walkways, merging towards the shore of lake Hartwell. This field house is set directly between the shore and the soccer fields, allowing the user to access the washrooms and bathrooms. The concept of this project was based on breaking down a simple geometry into three sections based on circulation.

VIEW FROM THE WATER Clemson, South Carolina

ARCH 2510 | Fall 2021 Instructor: Amy Trick

Wouldn't it be interesting to swim in pool surrounded by a larger pool? The concept of View from the water was developed on the idea of creating a set of leisure activities on top of the water. A set of bathrooms, washrooms, pools and a sauna can be accessed by the students on Clemson's Snow Center. The idea was to experience swimming within a controlled environment while being surrounded by Lake Hartwell. The lake is only available throughout the warm season, while this bath house is open and controlled throughout the whole year.

ACICULATED BUS STOP Clemson, South Carolina

ARCH 2510 | Fall 2021 Instructor: Amy Trick

Through a process of cutting and folding a piece of paper, an aciculate shape was achieved with the intention of transforming it into a bus stop. Set on the side of Clemson’s Snow Complex, this bus stop was designed to be organic in shape allowing shade and protection from the environment. Through this project, I was able to learn new a set of tools within Rhino, aiding me in with future projects.

08| BAMBOO PROJECT Clemson, South Carolina

Partner: Mariana Ramirez, Lucas Bassett ARCH 2510 | Fall 2021 Instructor: Amy Trick

Mariana, Lucas and I was set to design a structure that projects and displays shadows using Bamboo.

The structure is made up of three pyramids, connected with one another creating a passage underneath. Theoretically, the design was meant to be incorporated with plant life allowing the vines to cover the whole structure and completely shade the pathway.

SUSTAINABLE MOLDING Clemson, South Carolina

ARCH 2510 | Fall 2021 Instructor: Amy Trick

With my brick charrette project, my intention was to create something that is intriguing and convoluted in form while also using recycled materials to create a mold. I glanced at my recycling bin and picked up two pieces of old egg cartons. With these two pieces, I was able to create an object shaped by peaks and valleys molded by what we consider waste.
