The Rhino Ridge Lodge site on the northern edge of the Nile River inside of the largest national wildlife preserve in Uganda.

Because of its location, all of the building materials needed to be relatively small in order to make it on site. The lodge takes advantage of the climate and is completely open air.

The back of the lodge is a thick strip of programme with compressed earth block walls that create a separation between the arrival of the tourists and their experience beyond the threshold. As the building cascades down the hill towards the water, the programme becomes more public and more open.

The Good Food Program was meant to introduce naturally grown produce to a low income area of East Austin.

The programme for the project included a considerable amount of land for farming, market stalls, a small cafe`, a kitchen, offices, and teaching rooms for the community. The teaching rooms face out directly onto the garden, which is integrated in-between the kitchen and its surrounding environment. The multifaceted roof is meant to be reminiscent of a ground plane folding upwards, suggesting that the building is as natural as the land itself.

The Good Food Project sat as the pivoting point between two redevelopment projects in East Austin. It was meant to have both a street presence for the public and a more private programme for the community.

The SXSW Gap was meant to create a connection across the highway between the two sides of 6th St. in Austin during the SXSW Festival. It is a pneumatic structure composed of inflated arches that then support an ETFE membrane to provide shade and programme for pedestrians. The entire structure is infused with titanium dioxide to neutralize pollutants from the air, especially near the highway.

These pollutants and their by-products are then washed off of the canopy into planter boxes, where plant life can mitigate them. The project was meant to provide shelter and programme to and untouched but necessary area of the festival and to also create a mitigation system that improves the quality of that area of Austin.

Identify the Gap

Open Lots Become Usable Space

Context Creates Form

The maps of Austin were used to locate all of the 2012 SXSW venues, and to identify where the site should exist within the festival.

With recent growth and future plans set in Austin, the area east of the highway is becoming increasingly developed. The heavily populated nature of 6th St. seems to be continuing on the east side. There does however still remain a pedestrian gap across the highway. This project was meant to fill that pedestrian gap, while also creating an environment and programme for pedestrians, maximizing the surface area of titanium dioxide, neutralizing local pollutants, and mitigating by-products with plant life.

Alaska is currently the only state without a Capitol Building.The ideas of what a capitol building consists of were redefined in order for this large scale project to fit the small scale city of Juneau. The Capitol Complex was also meant to express the very cyclical nature of Juneau.

Not only does the city have a range of climatic changes, but it also has seasons of programmatic change.

The building was meant to accommodate the citizens of Juneau, the legislatures while they would be in session, and the large influx of tourists during the summer months.

The facades of the buildings express the cyclical nature of the project by freezing in winter, not only illustrating the climatic changes but helping to insulate the building during the winter months.

The city of Juneau has two programmatic seasons: the winter legislative session and the summer tourism. These seasons, along with the climatic changes of the city, were addressed in the facade, a pipe system that passivley freezes the humidity in the air in cold temperatures.

Parc Quadrille, or Grid Park, exists in the northeast area of Paris, bound between the Juares and Stalingrad train stations. The project creates a dynamic and interactive programme that unifies the area and the community.

The grid establishes both temporary and permanent building designs that can be illustrated in the 0, 1st, 2nd and 3rd dimensions. Permanent structures include a small cafe and a clear box viewable from underground, while temporary plans range from a market space to a concert venue.

The surrounding area contains many artists and galleries, so an exhibition space was an obvious choice, allowing the artists to utilize the modules themselves.

The temporary structure system was comprised of aluminum posts and beams and panels that had varying materials and transparencies.

The joint that connected these three pieces together was also meant to act as a light, helping to bring light under the traintracks and signifying another point within the three-dimensional grid.

The X Complex derived its name from its appearance.

Each X contains a central circulation core from which four rooms stem from. The apartment units are raised one story off of the ground to separate the privacy of the home from the public realm of the city, and to provide for an urban park and vendor's market underneath the complex. The exterior walls of the complex are faced with green wall modules, from which plants grow. These plants were meant to be both aesthetic to the urban park and functional as they provide the building with warmth during the colder months. The site for the building was carefully chosen and was integrated into its surroundings accordingly.

The apartment unit is based off of a unit in a housing complex designed by Renzo Piano. The unit is compact, and is divided between public and private space. Transitional space is minimized and is used to create the boundary between the two other spaces.

The wine table was designed as a centerpiece for a living space. All of its dimensions and geometries were derived from a study of a wine bottle.

The table was not only meant to store the wine but also display it. White oak wood was used because of its regular use in wine casks.

The structural frame of the table is made of wrought iron and it was left as thin sections to create minimal separations between the overall circular geometry. It allows the focus to be on the bend laminated wooden shelves and the wine bottles.

The table top has a glass center so that labels of the wine may be displayed.

The Austin Swim Center sits on the edge of Lady Bird Lake, existing as an extension of the urban context of the city. The entrance to the swim center is bound by the street and a small park space. Upon entering the building the user is given a choice of two paths: upwards through the atrium towards the stand, or downwards through a procession of preparation and cleansing. The 70m Olympic Stretch Pool exists at the end of both paths, established as a glorification to sport and to the athletes within it. Large louvres protect the pool area from recieving sunlight and glare while allowing for views outward. The roof sits as an icon to the pool and to the city.

These photographs are some examples of many that were taken within the countries of Switzerland, Italy, and France.

There is not one main focus among the pictures, but rather they are all an exploration of object, material, light, and space.

Taken and completed ten Design and Visual Communications courses. Extensive research is put into each project regarding preexisting conditions, site, building code, construction, and programme. Every project is reviewed in a final presentation by a group of professors and architects. All final documents, models, and process work are displayed and documented.

Participated in the mentor program to aid incoming students into the School of Architecture.

Mentors provide guidance to the new students in terms of getting adjusted to architecture school, as well as offering design and visual communication advice
