BALTIMORE INSTITUTE FOR URBAN SUSTAINABILITY PARTI
My approach to this project was to try to inform people of the natural processes that surround us on a day to day basis through a building that harvests, recycles and reuses the water it captures. I approached the idea of learning by being surrounded by the exposed concept running through as a hinge for life and energy itself.

PROGRAM
SOLAR STUDY
The building organizes itself around a “wet core” that not only is the center of its water processes but also acts as an area to view and celebrate them. NAAB SPC: A.1, A.2, A.4, A.5, A.6, B.1, B.2. 4

The goal for this project was to explore how the design process and a concept can help inform a project.
PRECEDENT ANALYSIS
MOTIF FORMATION
Going into this project, I was inspired by the form and concept of the African-American Museum, creating the facade materials and patterns around West-African textile patterns and art. I was particularly inspired by the Benin artifacts being returned to West-African museums. This a museum inspired by and dedicated to African art and pride through the Gele- a traditional headpiece symbolizing West-African pride and culture. 10

Starting with a rectangular prism, these Rhino modeling studies allowed for an iterative process of Rhinoceros tools and commands to be learned and used to create morphologies.

PART 2
In the second part assignment required the use of Rhino contour tools to create one of the models previously designed. Going into this part of the project, I was able to explore different representational iterations; allowing for the conceptual massing iterations to be imagined as a structure.

The goal of the next part of the exploring Rhinoceros modeling tools by creating a generative surface from a de ned module. Using paneling tools for Rhino, I created a module to generate two adjacent surfaces; develop an articulated design.

DETAIL
This semester-long Case Study Project provided myself as a student with the opportunity to model an existing project, the Schroder House, utilizing the Revit skills obtained during the course. The project allowed me to understand and apply modeling techniques, precise use of media, innovative application of technology, completeness of exercise, and demonstrated mastery of skills and concepts learned through the coursework. On a broader level through the study of the house in other coursework, I was able to combine knowledge through the study of its forms, spatial organization, as well as through the lens of its architect, Truus Schroder.

HOUSING PROJECT This project explores what it means to dwell in the sense of what needs to be provided for those who have not had the opportunity to dwell. The purpose of this project was to provide affordable housing for the formerly homeless population of Washington, DC. I approached this by looking at what is missing without a place to dwellinteraction, community, and privacy. I focused on the creation of these elements throughout the structure; providing these in communal spaces as well as in the building’s layout in order to bring a community of people back into a space that can be called home.

PAVILION PROJECT
Using a Kit of Parts, this project dealt with the creation and ow of spaces that connect both the garden and the cube.
A P L AC E F O R YO U R PA S T I M E
The location of the spaces and requirements of the Kit of Parts allowed me to explore the circulation and program from a unique perspective; creating a ceremonial sequence that interacts and aligns with its parts and allowing for seamless ow of movement.

ORIGINAL CUBE
This goal for this project was to create a public building to enjoy your pastime. The main program focused creating a space where people would be able to enjoy photography; creating spaces suitable as a subject of view as well as creating a space to view those images. 23

The primary objective of this project was the amplication of marginalized stories through creating spaces that would facilitate interaction; helping to connect people. This project ultimately intends to use this to challenge biases and change perception; breaking barriers by establishing connections. The interstitial spaces act as the primary character of the building; de ning its slow promenade and providing various points to re ect after viewing and engaging in communal spaces throughout the building.

The promenade is highlighted by its circulatory experiential elements; slower-stepping, longer balconies that allow one to look into different spaces and communities. NAAB SPC: A.2, A.4, A.6. 26

APPROACH 08
Through my sketches, I attempted to convey a distinct understanding of the space occupied whether through an understanding of how light moves through a space or an understanding of the space in perspective, even combining different drawing typologies to give the experience of moving through the space as in the earlier drawing of the African-American Museum or give a larger reading of the entire structure as in the Iribe Center drawing.

This extended drawing is another example of attempting to skew perception using different styles or methods of producing visual art.
BRENDAN IRIBE CENTER
For this drawing, this stemmed from a photograph of the Baltimore Inner Harbor. I then extended the image by drawing around the photograph; widening the eld of view.
