L A TES T WORK Formicarium January 2019 Assigned an 8ft slot in Manhattan’s Chinatown, we were asked to build Parasitic architecture to accomidate living and working space for an artist or creator of our choice in 3 weeks.

The response from myself and my partner was to create for a photographer, and we wanted to investigate how we could address the architecture without thinking of any surface of purely a floo, ceiling or wall, but all of the above.This also was inspired by a photographer’s seemless backdrop.

F A L L 201 8 STITCH August - Decemeber For the entire semester we were asked to find a thesis on nature and respond to the thesis by creating a national park and research center.

We started by creating a poster, as an individual(Page 8) We then chose partners and responded to our specific site through a series of analysical drawings, before continuing on to propose a landscape and architecture for the park.

DES I GN BUILD PRISMA January - April 2018 As a class of 73 we were tasked to design a pavillion to add public interaction to an impending exhibition by George Sherwood, who creates sculptures that move in responce to the elements.

I have first included a visual collection of my personal contributions, and then a photo of our final result.

EY RI E PAPE BIRD OBSERVATORY COMPETITION OCTOBER 2017 In my first semester of architecture,as our second project we were put into groups of 4 and given two weeks to design a bird observation tower in Latvia as part of a competition.

This was a fun, fast paced challenge.

pape national park bird observatory

donovan bunn, tobi fagbule, sam frantik, mimi kelly This proposal is envisioned not as a tower in the middle of a field, but as an extension of the landscape. With the intent of integrating the piece into the environment, inspiration was taken from the trees and grasses in the area, as well as from native Baltic designs. The bridge approaching the project is divided into segments, to encourage visitors to stop and look at the landscape and wildlife. These moments emphasize the environment around the building, maintaining a sense of place.

By raising the project with columns, it has a minimal footprint on the environment while still having a significant presence to the viewer. From a distance, the observatory is an object, yet when on the ramp it is simply screen. This illusion gives the project a sense of protection and enclosure without disconnecting it from nature. At each turn the structure disappears to reveal the expansive landscape, continuously pulling the viewer up. This process allows a detachment from the project itself and a focus on the environment.

totals also vary, anywhere from 15mm to 50mm monthly. The wet-land environment is the perfect location for countless species of birds and other animals.

During the migration seasons, the site experiences relatively cool temperatures in the spring, and mild weather in the fall. Rain totals also vary, anywhere from 15mm to 50mm monthly. The wet-land environment is the perfect location for countless species of birds and other animals.

FIRS T PROJ ECT exhibition ate AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2017 As my first project in architecture, this project was done all in AutoCAD and Photoshop, and on paper with my partner.

We had yet to learn any modeling softwares, and I include this project because I am still proud of how hard I worked on this project.

The requirements were to have a 20’ x 20’ plan, and each wall had a different required open to closed percentages. we were requiredto have an 80:20, 60:40, 40:60,and 20:80.
