CONTROLWATER

The Greenwood Public library is located at the corner of the Greenwood town square. Surrounding the site are small businesses, and across the street is the Veterans Memorial Square. The heights of the library match the context by being taller at the corner and scaled down to the buildings next to the site. This also helps connect the existing urban condition in Greenwood and creates a strong street presence for the library.

The main road that cuts through the whole town is directly to the south of the library. To block noise and create privacy for the library, there is a layered façade system. Vertical louvers create privacy, and horizontal fritted louvers block the southern sunlight.

There are two large courtyard spaces located towards the center of the site. There are spaces for reading, relaxing, and recreation. The building blocks the two busy streets to create a more peaceful environment to enjoy the courtyard.

02 EVOLVE FASHION SHOW WALL

This partition wall was designed for the 2023 Evolve Fashion Show at Crystal Bridges Museum. A group of 5 students had the task of creating a partition wall with reuse drafting boards and a budget of 200 dollars. The main idea of the wall was to create boards that look like they are evolving as they move up, relating to the theme of the fashion show. The boards support themselves and are rotating around a central point, evolving from the center. The wall separates, allowing for the models to walk through and interact with it, giving glimpses of the model’s outfits. The paint separates to boards and breaks down the scale of the boards and highlights the twisting motion of the boards

SCULPTURE STUDIES

This project is a site-less housing project that can adapt to any site and addresses a need for infill hosing. A center walk extends through the housing units and connects to the sidewalk and street. A trellis system is attached to the units to create outdoor space for house and to connect and unify the houses. This also limits land use by creating a shared central outdoor space. The project has 3 distinct parts that can be adjusted to different sites; each part can be changed to function differently. The first part is a two story quadraplex unit that addresses the street and fits into an urban condition. The second part is single story townhomes, and the final part is single family towers.

Because this project is modular, each unit is built with a SIPS paneling system. The SIPS panels are self supporting, so there is not a need for a framing system. The modular homes can be broken down and shipped to any location and then installed quickly on site. This is to make them more affordable and to address the housing crisis. The design works with the panels and standardized window sizes to make the design more accessible. The intent is to create housing that can adapt to any situation. It can be altered to fit into any downtown area or extended to fill a larger lot. These options are shown on the right side of the spread.

BIENNALE PAVILION

This pavilion was the Fay Jones School’s design for the 2023 Venice Biennale. The pavilion, called the Negotiation Room, is a place for two people to meet and ask each other questions to form a friendship. The pavilion was on display for the exhibition, and our studio’s task was to disassemble it, redesign it, and transport it to the Luigi Einaudi school in Rome. We came up with a new design to change the pavilion by changing the interior colors of the pavilion. We wanted the colors to be a surprise to the visitors and help encourage conversation. The new colors were inspired by the Luigi Einaudi school colors and exterior color. On opening day, students were encouraged to use the pavilion to talk to someone new or ask each other new questions.

CONNECTING CALIFORNIA

in collaboration with Kerrigan Servati

Connecting California is an office and commercial building located in downtown Los Angeles, California. The site has a 75’ elevation change sloping downward from the north end of the site. Past the north end of the site there is a public plaza area with a parking garage, and at the southwest corner of the site there is an entrance to public transit. The mainidea of the project is to cut through the site with a staircase, connecting the parking garage to the public transit. The triangular pattern helps to emphasize the staircase splitting through the topography.

The building is split into two separate buildings to create different sizes of leasable space and to increase the amount of natural light. The smaller building is 10 stories and the larger is 13. The first level of each building is commercial space open to the public, and the upper levels are office spaces. The second level is the main access to the private office space. There larger building has an atrium that opens at the entry of the building. This helps natural light reach all of the office space and creates a varying floor plan that changes at every level.
