01 “NYC BLACK BOX THEATER” revit, lumion, rhino, adobe creative suite 6-week project architectural design studio IV

Concept: The commercial design of the NYC Black Box Theater seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, while re-imagining theatrical expression. As users travel through the space, they witness rehearsal, preparation, and costume spaces that coalesce with the main theater, offering a glimpse into the intricate workings of theatrical production. The architectural language, characterized by steel structures reminiscent of NYC scaffolding, pays homage to the city and artistic expression. Mirroring the ethos of black box theaters, the structure embodies the notion that both art and NYC itself are in a perpetual state of evolution, ever-changing yet endlessly captivating.

02 “SEE-THROUGH SUBURBIA” rhino, enscape, adobe creative suite 8-week project architectural design studio V

Concept: Since the improvement of transportation infrastructure in the early-to-mid 1900s, suburbia has been a prominent, and will remain a prominent, style of housing due to urban overcrowding, and a desire for spacious, affordable housing. This studio examines the architecture of ordinary builder homes, focusing on models by companies like DR Horton and KB Homes. By analyzing the construction, cultural significance, and architectural language of these mass-produced homes, precise interventions inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark’s radical approach can be implemented to transform these homes. The goal is to engage the broader public, and turn these successful products into successful architecture.

03 “KAW RIVER CULTURAL CENTER” revit, lumion, enscape, sketchup, adobe creative suite 8-week project architectural design studio III

Concept: The Center for Kaw River Culture integrates indigenous music and cultural elements into its architecture, creating an immersive space for learning and connection. Eastern-facing facades and counterclockwise circulation honor indigenous customs, while musical spaces nestled between the building forms ensure a continuous connection to the music. Variations in spatial height and width reflect the rhythmic storytelling of the culture, enhancing the experience. Performance areas with river views emphasize the natural origins of the music, uniting culture, history, and landscape in a cohesive design.

05 “LORIRU” revit, enscape, lumion, rhino, adobe creative suite 4-week project architectural design studio III

Concept: “LoRiRu”, or Low-Rise Residential Units, are crafted for the rural setting of Iola, Kansas.

Situating around a meticulously designed bike trail serving as a vital artery, the complex serves as a pivitol “filling station” for pedestrians commuting between downtown Iola and the newly established state park to the south. Through symbolic gesture, the bike trail symbolizes the seamless transition from the traditional reliance on oil and gas resources that historically shaped Iola, to contemporary transportation. The residential and commercial spaces below offer a synergy with the downtown ambiance, while connecting back to the natural allure of the state park.

06 CREATIVE WORKS my personal art and architecture explorations

Beginning my academic career in art, I have consistently pushed myself to continue using these skills throughout my interior design and architecture projects. With a background in art and art history, my projects are informed by art theory principles that I think always elevates a designs’ potential. I love every step of the design process, but where my personal artistic passions reside in architecture are in architectural renderings and drawings. I believe by understanding these art theory principles in the design process, and where they originate from, architects and designers can create beautiful work that is not only successful, but inspires others.
