Merging Zones: Ascend to the Sea
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO DEVELOPE A DESIGN THAT WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING W HOTEL ON BY THE MARINA IN BARCELONA, SPAIN. THE PROPOSAL WAS DEDICATED TO CREATING A PUBLIC AND RESIDENCE FOR THOSE PARTICIPATING AND OR INTERESTED IN THE AMERICA’S CUP SAILING COMPETITION. THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE A DESIGN THAT INFLUENCED BY THE THREE ZONES SURROUNDING THE SITE TO RESTORE IT TO BARCELONA’S ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY.
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT INCLUDE ALL THAT IS SHOWN THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT EXCLUDING THE EXPLODED AXON AND SECTION PERSPECTIVE DRAWING.

Diagram of the schools surrounding the site in relationship to the proposed bicycle and pedestrian pathways for safety and convenience
THE GOAL FOR THE BIG BOX DEVELOPMENT WAS TO FOCUS ON THE INCLUSION OF PASSIVE SPACE, COMMUNITY INTERACTION, WALKABILITY, RESOURCEFUL SPACING, STUDENT-SAFE PATHWAYS, BICYCLE PATHWAYS, AND GREENERY TARGETING THESE ASPECTS SOLVED MANY PROBLEMS IN EASLEY, SC WHICH INCLUDES LARGE SPANS OF ASPHALT GROUNDS DISCONTINUED PATHS, AND NONDISTINCTIVE WALKING AREAS. THE PLAN WAS TO GET RID OF THE EXISTING ASPAULT, WHICH CREATES MANMADE BARRIERS FOR WALKABILITY HAS NO CLEAR DIRECTION, CREATES ISOLATION, AND REDUCES GREENERY
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT INCLUDE THE 3D-MODEL MAKING, MANMADE VS NATURAL DIAGRAM, EXPLODED AXON, AND SECTION B.

3RD YEAR FALL
THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THIS PROJECT WAS WORK IN NEW YORK CITY. THE GOAL WAS TO RESEARCH AND MAINTAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEMPORARY CITY AND WORKPLACE TO DESIGN A OFFICE FOR WORKERS AND THE BUILDINGS THAT PLAY A ROLE IN THE URBAN CONTEXTS IN WHICH THEY ARE PLACED. WE WERE CHALLENGED TO WORK THROUGH THE COMPLEX INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUILDING FORM, PROGRAM, AND SITE
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT INCLUDE THE 3D MODEL-MAKING, DETAIL DRAWING, SECTION DRAWINGS ALL PHYSICAL MODELS, AND ALL PHYSICAL MODELS.

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE AN ART CENTER CATERING TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OF CAYCE, SC. A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH WAS ADOPTED WITH THE COMPLETION OF RESEARCH ON CAYCE, SC TO OBTAIN INSIGHT FOR THOROUGH SITE ANALYSIS AND THE CONSIDERATION OF RESTRICTIONS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. AT THIS POINT IN THE ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM, LEARNING ABOUT, CONSIDERING, AND INCLUDING PROGRAMING WAS ESSENTIAL, MAKING THESE IMPORTANT FACTORS TO THE DESIGN. A HOLISTIC CONSIDERATION OF THE DESIGNATED SITE WAS ALSO IMPORTANT AS COLLABORATIVE GROUPS WERE FORMED TO ENGAGE IN THE COLLECTIVE DESIGN TASKS.
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT PROJECT PRODUCTION INCLUDE 3D MODEL-MAKING AND ALL OF THE WORK SHOWN.

THE OBJECTIVE WAS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SNOW CENTER IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ROWING DOCKS IN CLEMSON, SC. THE INITIATION PHASE INVOLVED THE SELECTION OF PRECEDENTS TO SERVE AS GUIDING REFERENCES AND SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS, DESIGN STRATEGIES, AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. MY CHOSEN PRECEDENT WAS THE THERME VALS BY ARCHITECT, PETER ZUMTHOR, IN SWITZERLAND, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE EXPRESSIVE USE OF CONCRETE AND GLASS WITHIN THE ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK STARTING THE PROJECT, A CAREFUL EXAMINATION AND CONCEPTUALIZATION OF A DETAILED SHOWER BECAME THE FOCAL POINT, INTENDING TO SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE ITS ATTRIBUTES INTO THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT PROJECT PRODUCTION INCLUDE 3D MODEL-MAKING AND ALL OF THE WORK SHOWN.

Topography diagram showing the meaning and song lyric connection for each area
Topographical map of the proposed topography design based on the impact of the lyrics in the song “Love Yourz” by J.Cole
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DESIGN REQUIRED AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF TOPOGRAPHY. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO MANIPULATE AND INTEGRATE TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES INTO THE DESIGN OF ONE OR MULTIPLE STRUCTURES. THE GUIDING FRAMEWORK FOR SHAPING THE TOPOGRAPHY WAS DERIVED FROM A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF A SELECTED SONG. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ENSUING PHASE OF THE PROJECT ENTAILED THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRUCTURAL FORMS, INTRICATELY INFLUENCED BY THE THEMATIC ELEMENTS OF THE CHOSEN SONG
MY CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT PROJECT PRODUCTION INCLUDE THE ALL DIAGRAMS, TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP, AND PLAN SEQUENCE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT.
