Lake Street Urban Garden Center

Group Partners: Riley Houlihan, Ben Karg

The Lake Street Urban Garden Center was the culmination of multiple investigations of the Lake Street Corridor in Minneapolis, MN, identifying new and existing problems following the 2020 George Flyod protests, and addressing them through an architectural intervention.

Through urban gardening, fresh produce can be grown year round and be given directly to the community through the kitchen and food shelf. With accommodations for local food drives, farmers markets, and after school programs, the Lake Street Urban Garden Center would help a close community grow even closer together.

From Production and Preparation, to the Kitchen and Distribution Center, the programmatic areas have been arranged to maximize efficiency while showcasing the entire proccess.

Washington Fruit & Produce Company HQ

Group Partners: Sam Cusack, Josh Ziehwein

With an emphasis on physical modeling, this precedent study focused on learning the structural systems and construction methods of the Washington Fruit and Produce Company Headquarters Building located in Yakima, Washington (GRAHAM BABA architects).

Special care was then put into capturing its details within the scaled physical model. Digital modeling accompanied the physical model by highlighting the main structural makeup of the building, as well as key connection moments within the building.

The physical model was sourced almost entirely from recycled material, and modeled at a 1/2”=1’ scale. Special care was taken to capture the advanced tensile structure that allows the building to span such a large distance.

SAMPLE APARTMENT

Done as an exercise from a course in BIM, this sample apartment complex furthered my proficiency in Revit, and showcased a more realistically designed project for my college portfolio.
