This project is a waste management facility with a special focus on collecting storm water. The design of the facility is inspired by the structure of a river, with a circulation system that follows the principles of erosion and deposition. The program spaces with faster circulation, such as treatment and processing areas, are located outside of the ramp curve and are classified as erosion zones. On the other hand, program spaces with slower circulation, such as administrative, research, and dining areas, are located inside the ramp curve and are classified as deposition zones. The facility also incorporates sustainable design elements, such as bioswale and living green roof, to minimize its environmental impact.

Energy Conservation
Water Conservation
Local Food Production
Use of solar energy to heat the interior, which reduces the use of fossil fuels
Recycle and reuse water, which reduces the demand on municipal water sources
Grow food locally, reduces transportation and greenhouse gas emissions
Waste Reduction Compost food waste and other organic materials, which reduces methane emissions
Biodiversity
Provide a habitat for a variety of plants and animals (birds), which support ecosystems

Compression and Release, Identity and Integration, Salad bowl and Melting pot
A - Sun scoop
In this cultural center project, I used the concepts of compression and release to create a visual representation of the tension between individual and collective identity. By designing a narrow space that leads into an open space, I aimed to explore how people navigate between these two states of being.
B - Extra Shade

The narrow space can be interpreted in two ways: as a place where people are forced to confront their own individuality and reflect on their own experiences, or as a place where individual identity is suppressed and subsumed into a larger collective. Similarly, the open space can be seen as either a place where people are able to socialize and find commonality with others, or as a place where individual freedom and choice are restored.

This design strategy highlights the dynamic and often ambiguous relationship between individual and collective identity, and encourages visitors to think about how they fit into the larger cultural landscape.
Identity
This African American Cultural Center is a place where people can learn about and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of African Americans. It is often a place for community events, workshops, exhibits, and performances related to African American culture. The center also provide resources and support for individuals interested in exploring their own cultural heritage and identity.
Integration
Avian Conscious Habitat
Rock port, MA
Rock port is a small town in Massachusetts with a history of mining, including an iron ore, lead, and zinc mine in a pond. The mine closed due to economic challenges but the pond is now used for recreational activities such as hiking and fishing. Despite the closure of the mine, Rock port continues to be a thriving community, with a vibrant arts scene and a strong sense of community. The town has also been recognized as a leader in environmental sustainability, with a focus on preserving natural resources and protecting the local ecosystem.

Quarry and Mines
The goal of this project is to illustrate the connection between the quarry and the stones that are extracted from it. The design of the individual spaces represents the stones, while the upper portion of the program serves as the quarry, reflecting its irregular shape. The upper program guides visitors through the general area and into the individual spaces, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding natural environment.
NAHB Student Competition
The University Massachusetts of Amherst design team for the 2023 Production Home Building Competition, comprising of three architecture students, is collaborating on the proposed residential plan for Heritage Green. The plan includes over 300 lots, consisting of single family homes, ranches, townhouses, and amenity centers. The team is responsible for designing the site plan, floor plans, renderings for the site plan and each proposed housing unit.
I was responsible for constructing the ranches, one single family house, developing the site plan with Matthew Korevec, and renderings for the houses.
