PROJECT 01 LIVELIHOOD
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Inspired by the Historical Context of our site in Atlanta, Georgia, I took an interest in the story behind Indigenous Creek Tribe and the use of their Creek Village Settlement. This once prominonent group used the nature around them as a network of trails that ended up being their way of trading amongst eachother and other tribes. To-day, the area is called, “Standing Peach Tree, located near the Chattahoochee River. Deeper research drove my concept because the name of the land was originally referred to as Standing ‘Pitch’ Tree due to the surround-ing pine trees. In many Indigenous cultures Trees and nature are viewed as Markers that historically tell the stories of their ancesty. But what is the purpose of a FOREST?

PROJECT 02 LACE TERMINAL
PELLESTRINA, ITALY
Lace Terminal, is a piece of architecture that expresses the concept of bobbin lace through a series of materials and placement a cruise ship terminal. This structure’s concept deals with connecting culture with the site’s surroundings, the sea. Historically, Pellestrina, ‘THE OTHER LACE ISLAND,’ has a rich history of lacemaking as being the form of production. Through a series of sketches, influenced from the bobbin lace trace techniques, inspired the design strategies within this project. These conceptual strategies, focus on weaving architecture here, defines itself through: FORM, PATTERN, REPRESENTATION
