Narrative
Drawings track the emotion and tone of the book with color, texture, and edge quality as the narrative changes.

A Woven Fabric of Space & Time Spring 10, Professor Flueckiger, Studio V
Between 1902 and 1905 Albert Einstein lived and worked as a patent clerk for the government of Switzerland in Bern. During this time he developed his revolutionary theory of relativity. This project is the response to the hypothetical burning of his house. Einstein’s theory of Relativity unites time, space, and matter into one idea. By making similar connections one can equate volume to the duration of time spent by an individual at a specific location where like the surface of a trampoline, a unified fabric is warped and stretched in space.

An urban intervention
Summer 10, Professors Ellis & Vernooy, Studio VI The fashion district in northern Paris as it exist is lost in an urban fabric focused on whole selling in a fast paced un-personable environment. There was no concern for the individual. To revitalize this part of Paris an urban diversification of both the economy and the population was needed.

By constructing a mix use tree lined boulevard that extends axially from the Port Saint-Denis south to Rue Reaumur will provide a valued place of congregation that connects and creates a strong centered community.

Spring 10, Deans Cup Competition
A brilliant radiance beams from the first floor of the architecture building. As you approach, the glow slowly materializes into 2112 suspended luminous tubes. You become lost in the abundance. The space is a dynamic, temporary index. It is a reference to the person in it.
