The following pages contain projects I wish to highlight from my education at Miami University where I earned a B.A. of Architecture. They range in scale, function, and form with a variety of programs. In beginning studios we were encouraged to hand draft and construct models with later studios allowing for computer drawings and renderings

ARtz park TRANSIT HUB

The transportation shelter in Artz park designed for Oxford, Ohio, is a bus shelter and train stop to facilitate the ease of multiple forms of transportation. Also incorporated is an accessible bathroom and bike storage. Our palette of materials included wood and steel- in the form of steel fasteners and connection plates. In this project I studied the contrast between man-made and natural to consider the concept of idealized travel.

CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE AT FALLINGWATER

When designing the Center for Architecture at Fallingwater our group seeked to highlight the landscape of Wright’s Fallingwater and Bohlin Cywinski Jackson’s Barn at Fallingwater. We were able to closely communicate with the director of Fallingwater allowing us to understand the history and intention of all site elements. We created a strong axial precession by extending existing lines of the site into our structure, creating the outline of the circulation path. These pathways pull the visitor through three season spaces that frame cascading views towards Fallingwater. When walking to and from different program spaces the visitor is immersed into the surrounding landscape creating an experience similar to many of Wright’s works. Our group designed and modeled together and deligated graphical tasks evenly. For this project was in charge of the plans and helped to create renderings using lumion.

Photography is a way of expression. A photo can be used to show a new perspective that may not be readily seen, a pattern or detail that is easily missed, or capture the world and its fleeting moments. The photos on this page are intent on exploring relationships: the relationship between student and professor, the relationship between an object and reflection and the relationship between buildings on the same block.

A shrine to the axolotl

A Shrine to the Axolotl is an experimental project placed on the Western Duck Pond on Miami University’s campus. It is meant to be both an educational space and research center. A quiet reflective pool dedicated to axolotls is on the lower level, inviting all to participate. My intention was for the structure to grow out of the landscape but still be distinct. It is built into the steepest hillside of the pond with the Western facade made of a translucent material, allowing indirect light into the shrine and exhibit space.

Clifton Library

Cincinnati’s hilly topography creates a unique identity for the city. Emulating the surrounding topography, the low profile prohibits the library from overpowering its surroundings and instead intends to lift up the Clifton community. An accessible thoroughfare connects the different grades of two main streets providing easy access for community members.

The third floor of the library is on grade with Clifton Plaza, extending the public space of the square. It contains a bookstore and refreshment bar and acts as a gathering space for library visitors and community members alike. A public thoroughfare winds up the side of the library creating a gallery space for expressing local culture and connects to the street below.

Lawless Brewery

Lawless brewery is all about celebrating the brewing process. It is designed on the property of an existing chateau in Differdange, Luxembourg. The circulation path, created based on iterations of diagrams, takes visitors through all facets of the process, circulating around and through the chateau. The design is intended to both accentuate the forms of the chateau and exaggerate the brewing equipment, so you were not only seeing, but experiencing the process.

URBAN Art Gallery

The Urban Art Gallery was designed with a precedent in mind. My given precedent was Kings Road House designed and inhabited by Rudolph Schindler. I analyzed prominent components in Schindler’s house such as materials, pinwheel organization, environmental relationships, and servant verses served. I took inspiration from these features and reformed them into the Art Gallery.
