Alamihi Village Lahaina, Hawaii Studio 3 (Group) Fall 2023 With Jared Cook

The Alamihi project tackles the profound challenge of rebuilding Lahaina City in Maui after one of the most devastating wildfires in US history that happened in August 2023. Focusing on a 9-acre site at the edge of the devastation, the project is optimistic, exploring opportunities for cultural conservation, ecological restoration, and economic development.

Major Individual Contribution Research Hand Drawing Modeling Lessons learned: Using the AIA Framework for Design Excellence to evaluate design decisions Tools: Rhino, Hand Drawing, and Photoshop

Site analysis (Kahoma watershed, historic ponds) and proposal sketches

Site layout iterations

Exploration using overlay of collated Lahaina architectural character destroyed by the fire

Three ideas drive the project: • Restore the historic Alamihi pond covered by a parking lot; • Offer a pedestrian-friendly street connecting two historical features (Front Street and the Mala Wharf); • Provide sustainable shelter that responds to the loss by the fire

St. Lawrence Textile School Asheville, North Carolina Studio 2 (Individual) Spring 2023

St. Lawrence textile school is a proposed community project in partnership with the Basilica of St. Lawrence in Asheville, North Carolina. This partnership is rooted in the Basilica’s interest in preserving the heritage and the historical connection of textiles and Asheville. The site is located beside the Basilica, bordered

by Haywood Street, which connects the project to downtown Asheville to the south, and US Highway 70, which separates the site from a residential area to the north.

Lessons learned: Managing form exploration through modeling and sketching to provide acceptable technical and aesthetic qualities that fit the context.

Tools: AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Hand Drawing

The project optimizes scale and textiles themes to fit within its context with respect to the Basilica

Two wings form a courtyard linking the project to the basilica, and the fabric screens provide an expressive sunshading system

1st floor serves the public with a gallery space, a public studio space, a restaurant, and an auditorium.

2nd and 3rd floors accommodate the school program with studio spaces, offices, meeting spaces, some classrooms, and a lab.

4th to 6th floor forms a tower of residentials that serves up to 72 residents with options for married couples.

7th floor is a private gym for the residents.

The courtyard offers a shared, intimate space separated from the traffic

The initial idea sketch was improved for an appropriate scale with the Basilica

Cherish Heart Entebbe, Uganda Professional Work with eMi 2017-2019 Masterplan to Construction

As an intern in 2018, I contributed to updating the master plan for a 19.58-acre site owned by Cherish Uganda. My work included producing drawings and reports for a project scope encompassing a primary school, clinic update, administration building, secondary school, dormitories, and auxiliary spaces.

The master plan prioritized creating a safe and welcoming environment. A key highlight was the Cherish Heart, a 5380 ft² administration hub providing office, meeting, and dining spaces. Informed by a post-occupancy study, the design emphasized strong indoor and outdoor connections. I developed conceptual design drawings and assisted in design management during its construction.

Major Individual Contribution Production, Request for Information coordination, shop drawing reviews, and site inspection.

Lessons learned: Developing and communicating the design intent throughout the design and construction process.

The Clemson University Wellness Precinct is a master plan and schematic project addressing one of the campus’ edges along the Perimeter Road redevelopment. The project suggests a collection of building masses that define a campus wellness district while providing a pedestrian-friendly entrance. This provides a new, vibrant gateway with connected buildings and outdoor terraces that modify the steep slope condition, resulting from the road redevelopment.

Lessons learned: I explored visual graphics as a tool for designing and representation during desk crits, and this opened more direct communication channels with my tutors and colleagues. This was more beneficial than just utilizing this tool for presentations.

Tools: Hand drawing and physical modeling

ces

I contributed significantly to the development of a 67-acre secondary school campus for Amazima Ministry International, advancing from Intern to Assistant Project Manager. My roles included assessing client needs, updating master plans, preparing construction documentation, conducting site inspections, and managing post-occupancy assessments. I played a key role in constructing classrooms, housing, and a student center with a library, collaborating with various trades.

In 2021, I led the design of the 1,700 m² AM Hub administration building, handling the project brief, site analysis, conceptual design, and BIM-based documentation. The building, which includes offices, conference rooms, a break room, and a 200-person assembly area.

Arranged along steep slopes, the campus features modular buildings integrated into lush vegetation.

Guided by the themes of ‘Peace’ and ‘Plenty,’ a phased master plan design ensures harmony between the built environment and the natural landscape.

The Black Heritage Trail Clemson, South Carolina Studio 4 (Group) Spring 2024 With Andrew Fulmer, Mina Keshavar Ally Lawson, and Madeline Walker.

rzi, Jaymz Neumann,

The Black Heritage Trail (BHT) project aims to place stories of Black Heritage back on the landscape of the City of Clemson, Clemson University, and the City of Seneca. The project involved working with representatives from these three communities, with the studio divided into three groups. This section reflects my team’s work with the Clemson University site, which is defined by seven unique story sites that must be united with a common theme and architectural intervention.

Major Individual Contribution Leadership and coordination Graphics design Concept development Modeling Lessons learned: Using different tools to engage community representatives in design by making models and appropriate graphics.

Just as the rings of a tree tell the story of its growth, so do the columns of a porch serve as pillars of remembrance, each bearing the weight of individual narratives that converge to form a collective legacy.

To bear witness to this history is to stand at the crossroads of time, where the past intersects with the present in a dance of memory and reflection. It is a profound experience, one that invites contemplation and introspection as we navigate the landscape of the university.

Testing a high-fidelity unit prototype base.

One of the studio’s significant outputs was developing prototypes for the interventions. Using 3/16” corten steel as the primary material, the studio explored ideas, using planar technologies like laser cutting to prepare models and explore fabrication ideas. The studio was able to draft fabrication drawings, coordinate with a steel vendor to cut steel plates, logistically prepare the parts for welding, weld, and install one of the porch ideas. Due to time restrictions, the other two ideas were not assembled and installed, but the students received the steel parts.

I spent over 50 hours welding over the 2024 Spring and Summer

We used scaled physical modeling to investigate efficient installation options.
