Urban Agriculture Initiative

Lower Price Hill, Cincinnati, Ohio

This project aims to incorporate the goals of the Green New Deal to create a neighborhood institution which provides healthy foods and living spaces while supporting the surrounding infrastructure and broadening the conversation encircling smallscale urban farming and sustainable living.

The use of multiple farming strategies such as raised beds, hoop houses, and hydroponic systems enables this facility to produce significant quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables yearround, to be sold or otherwise distributed to food banks and cooperative markets in Lower Price Hill and other neighborhoods in Cincinnati.

Prof. Ryan Ludwig Spring 2021

The gasket between living and working space is explored with a modular system of multi-residential housing, complemented by a lightweight steel superframe to encourage the propagation of climbing plants and vines. These two elements combine to create dynamic indoor and outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy while partaking in the daily operations of the farm.

While also responding architecturally to the context of Lower Price Hill’s historic district and Cincinnati’s history as a center of industry and commerce, the Lower Price Hill Urban Agriculture Initiative is a proposed step towards the revitalization of our evolving urban environments.

King Records Exhibition

Evanston, Cincinnati, Ohio

Proposed as an exhibition about the legacy of Cincinnati’s King Records, this group project is designed as a multi-stage experience which analyzes the social and political context in which King Records and its artists became musical landmarks in post-war American music.

Research into King Records’ in-house recording and manufacturing process supplied a step-by-step framework to guide the progression of the exhibit. The exhibit’s rooms each contain an analysis of the social and economic attitudes of post-war America, relating to the different stages of the manufacturing process which was developed to make vinyl records.

Prof. Stephen Slaughter & Hank Hildebrandt in collaboration with Hartig, Morgan, and Smith Fall 2020

This exhibition is housed in the former King Records headquarters, standing in Cincinnati’s Evanston neighborhood. Prior studios examined the entire building, and their projects have been used as the foundations of this proposal. The scope of this exhibit only extends to fill a limited area of the previous studio’s proposals.

Each room of this exhibit alludes to the materials and steps involved in producing vinyl records. Starting with recording, visitors experience a variety of spaces with different interactive and video components. The zenith of this exhibit features an exploration of King Records’ artists and legacy, and displays instruments and artifacts which are ubiquitous in American music to this day.

Professional Work

The following works have been curated for this portfolio based on the variety of challenges presented and the techniques used. These works include demolition and new floor plans for a private residence, as well as projects completed while working as a designer for an architectural detailing shop.

Notable projects in this section also include a custom stainless outdoor kitchen system, built to fit with seamlessly incorporated appliances. Additionally, a custom spiral staircase system was selected to highlight this designer’s explorations in the composition and development of architectural detailing.

This designer hopes to continue to expand this portfolio with in-depth and high-calibre projects large and small, while emphasizing attention to craft and detail.
