Wallflowers

Spring 2015 (in progress) In collaboration with Jamie Colburn and Maria Sturchio Wallflowers examines the formal specificity, scalar opportunities, and spatial consequences of the everyday domestic wall object. Specifically, this thesis investigates how the additive elements typically tacked onto a house’s interior – a telephone, a kitchen cabinet, a lighting fixture – relate to one another and have architectural influence on the spaces where they are used. As the objects that we use everyday are estranged, spatialized, and inhabited, they are transformed into things that surpass their original use-values and begin to take on new architectural relationships that reorganize interior space. The site for Wallflowers is a suburban catalogue home, reinterpreted. Banal objects retain familiar spatial occupation but project themselves onto the house’s interior as a series of autonomous and intermingled things that use the self-portrait as a translational device. The result is a new spatial condition that generates both glimpses of familiarity and atmospheres of estrangement for the House’s occupants, who are situated between an original form and its redefined counterpart. Wallflowers - new things that have emerged from everyday objects - suggest a new life outside of their traditional roles, creating an inherent link between the objects typically associated with a space and the architectural condition itself. Wallflowers proposes forms generated through self-portraiture that recognize the architectural qualities already present in domestic objects. By deploying various methods of self-portraiture as specific architectural devices, objects engage in self-aware introspection, which situates a viewer between the painter as a subject and the self-portrait as a produced artifact, or, in the case of Wallflowers, an old object and a new thing. The result is a three-dimensional process and series of formal consequences that spatialize the conventionally two-dimensional representational technique of portraiture.

Collyer’s Attic: A House for One Million Objects Philadelphia, PA Fall 2014

This studio, entitled Architecture of Elements, was positioned as a response to Rem Koolhaas’ “Elements of Architecture” exhibition at the OMA-curated 2014 Venice Biennale; the exhibit catalogued the fifteen “elements” of architecture (including windows, doors, toilets, and walls) to situate contemporary architecture in a historical context of parts building one whole building. In response, this semester-long design studio asserts: If there are elements of architecture, then the statement is reversible: there can be an Architecture of Elements. That is, setting aside space, structure, envelope - all the familiar abstractions that shepherd us toward the design of very large containers with things inside - we can assemble elements, one thing next to another, to make a building. The first half of the semester was spent compiling a list of elements from a library of hundreds of architectural precedents. The elements were tested, deformed, constrained, and forced to interact until a final list was developed by each student. My list consisted of six elements: Fence, Stilt, Knob, Shroud, Cap, and Shelf. These elements were named for everyday objects that take on architectural characteristics and are often personified in buildings; for example, a Cap can be defined as a snugly fitted top to a building, such as the roof at Le Corbusier’s Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France. The remainder of the semester addressed these elements as components of a building that interacted in specific ways to produce spatial characteristics and boundaries. The studio participated in the Athenaeum of Philadelphia’s “Looking Forward” design competition, which called for athenaeum of the future. The Athenaeum of Philadelphia takes great pride in its collection of over one million books, museum objects, and archival prints, yet it is forced to store many of these materials at warehouses in Pennsylvania and Delaware because of inadequate on-site storage. Collyer’s Attic: A House for One Million Objects - named for the famous Collyer brothers who quite literally hoarded themselves to death - celebrates these objects, placing them all back on site and within reach of the athenaeum’s members. The building is generated through very specific relationships that occur when Fence, Stilt, Shelf, and Cap interact with one another. The characteristics of each element allow the athenaeum to contain stairwells, enclosed rooms, several galleries, reading spaces, and plentiful storage without the assistance of imposed structural systems, staircases, or building envelopes.

Scales of Mumbai

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Spring 2014 In collaboration with Brianne Papendick Scales of Mumbai, completed as a required comprehensive studio during the second semester of study in the University of Michigan’s M.Arch program, is framed as a response to the prompt for the 2013 Vertical Cities Asia competition, which requested designs focused on “clean energy, clean water, clean air, and community” that ultimately provided a place for 100,000 people to live and work in one square kilometer of eastern Mumbai. In particular, this project examines how the well-designed and thoroughly detailed unit can work at the scale of the individual, apartment building, and community to propose positive change and solid infrastructure for a city of 20,000,000 inhabitants, most of whom lack access to running water, toilets, and open space. Scales of Mumbai proposes three living units small (S), medium (M), and large (L) - as well as a communal bath house (B) that aggregate in a built scaffolding of floor plates, structural columns, and plumbing and electrical columns as residents purchase them. These units range from one-room sleeping and dining spaces that rely on communal kitchens and bath houses to luxury-style units with private plumbing and electrical hookups. The units can be augmented and vacant adjacent spaces can be annexed over time, leading to “living buildings” that can grow and shrink as familial and neighborhood needs change over time. The result is a flexible system of housing and work spaces that supplement the way of life of twenty-first century Mumbaikers, designed to grow uniquely as neighborhoods and economies dictate over time.

Initiative reCOVER: Mukondeni’s Bank of Resources Mukondeni, Limpopo, South Africa Spring 2012

In collaboration with Emily Broadwell, Joseph Lloyd, Patrick Mayfield, Whitney Paul, Erin Root This interdisciplinary project focused on the schematic design for a ceramic water filter factory to be built by the University of Virginia’s Initiative reCOVER, a student and faculty group that designs and builds disaster-relief structures around the world. During the first half of the semester, this studio teamed up with the University’s departments of medicine, engineering, and anthropology to conduct site- and program-specific research. The second half of the semester merged the rigorous initial research with design charrettes, which culminated in two unique designs that were presented to the University community and would ultimately inform the final design and construction of a facility in South Africa. Mukondeni’s Bank of Resources focused the utilization of the site’s available resources – rainfall, access to sunlight, clay-rich soil, and proximity to the region’s roadways – at many scales and levels of production to create a self-sustaining filter factory with educational, community, and retail spaces. By remaining conscious of scheme’s ability to adapt specifically to its site over time and prototypically to new sites all over Africa, the design was informed by an overlapping of existing conditions with a new radial farming strategy and new built structures that intersected to create unique spaces that stimulated production, local economies, and educational practices in the village of Mukondeni.

Criteria for the placement and networking of future factories within South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clay route: Each facility must be within the existing latasol clay deposit. Each administrative zone has its own facility, assuming that each administrative zone has its own administrator. Each clay facility must be within a certain distance of a major river for access to water in order to mix clay and test water filters. Each clay facility must be within a certain distance of an urban area for access to building materials.

Kulturhus i Frederiksberg Copenhagen, Denmark Fall 2011 The kulturhus (literally translated as “culture house”) is a popular Danish building typology that serves as a communal space for all members of an urban neighborhood. The corner site for this new kulturhus in Frederiksberg, one of the most traditional neighborhoods in Copenhagen, will serve as a station for the city’s newest Metro line. The program called for a library, a small theater, a cafe, small and large public gathering spaces, and a link to the underground Metro station that is already under construction and cannot be altered. In addition to incorporating these more common programmatic elements, Kulturhus i Frederiksberg connects with the existing free biking program in the city by implementing bicycle storage and rental facilities throughout the building; the presence of bicycle and Metro systems on site provide more transportation options for the neighborhood’s residents who heavily rely on the city’s expensive public bus system. The Kulturhus is broken into two separate structures connected by a series of enclosed bridges its upper levels. While the corner building houses the more active and communal spaces, such as a ground-level cafe, dining, and gallery rooms, the structure that is set back on the site contains the more private spaces, such as the theater, the library, and offices. Curves found between the two building suggest movement, linking the Kulturhus back to the bike share program and Metro stop which it houses and working to pull pedestrians off of the gridded streets of Frederiksberg and into the structure. The curvature present between the buildings aligns commuters with the existing Metro station below, allowing Kulturhus i Frederiksberg to serve as an architectural link between the city and its many infrastructural programs.

Charlottesville, Virginia Spring 2011 This project called for the re-design of the University of Virginia’s Arts Grounds - a steeply sloped and uninhabitable outdoor area enclosed by Campbell Hall (the School of Architecture), Ruffin Hall (home to the studio art department), Culbreth Theatre (home to the drama department), the Fine Arts Library and Cafe, a parking garage, and the marching band’s practice hall. SuperStair strengthens the programmatic elements already found within the Fine Arts community by providing a new openair theater and new public spaces for dining, studying, exhibiting, and meeting. SuperStair’s form is dictated by an overlapping of two grids at the site; the built grid of the University outlines the more programmed spaces, while the grid of the cardinal directions dictates the path and location of various types of circulation. Where these two grids overlap, changes in architectural language occur and give way to unique and versatile spaces, such as impromptu amphitheaters, interactive exhibition galleries, and practice areas for the choreographed routines of the drama department and the school’s marching band.

Philadelphia Culinary Institute Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Fall 2010

Combining institutional and commercial spaces, the diverse program of the a new culinary school called for a new hub of kitchen-classrooms, private and shared office spaces, a public restaurant, library facilities for students and researchers, and greenhouse and garden spaces for the growing of fresh vegetables in the heart of Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood. Despite its location on a corner lot, the site has very little access to natural light due to the historic neighborhood’s tight streets and several adjacent multi-story residential buildings. The Philadelphia Culinary Institute is composed of three different programmatic blocks - vertical circulation, private institutional spaces for members of the culinary school, and public library and dining spaces available to all visitors. These blocks interlock horizontally and vertically, intersecting and pulling away from each other to create unique thresholds between different types of space. The public spaces and circulation wrap around and define the building’s institutional core, resulting in a dynamic path of circulation and a series of light wells and screens that pull daylight from the building’s skylights through the entire building. By inviting visitors to move both horizontally and vertically within the structure, the entire community is engaged in the learning process, giving way to a cultural hub that offers an exchange of interactions, an opportunity for observation, and a facility for research for the entire neighborhood.

Inkspace Fall 2013

In collaboration with Drew Delle Bovi and Robyn Wolochow

Inkspace a study of the spatial and scalar relationships present in two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional fabrication. The investigation began with a series of analog drawings on mylar that explored the reactive and interactive properties of ink and water with acetone, string, and other found materials. By way of various editing softwares, the drawings were overlaid and modified to create new hybridized images and line work that explored and challenged the figure/ground relationships and textural qualities present in the original drawings. Modifications in color and line weights suggested spatial hierarchies and configurations that were further investigated in three dimensions with Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. The two-dimensional investigations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each utilizing a unique representational language â&#x20AC;&#x201C; culminated in the design and fabrication of a three-dimensional object, which further explored the scalar and spatial properties present throughout the work.

Figure Drawing & Sketching Spring 2012

The work from this course emphasizes an understanding of organic forms through the use of different media and types of analysis in representation. Specifically through studies of human movement, anatomical proportions, and the organic forms found in natural landscapes, the model making, stitching, and drawing techniques of this course have led me to develop a more critical eye and to make stronger connections between perception and representation.

During my summer with HKS, I produced all of the construction documents for the fit-out of a 30,000-square-foot labor and delivery suite at the University of Cincinnati’s West Chester Hospital in West Chester, Ohio. This fit-out, currently under construction, serves as an experimental prototype that will help determine the design of a new sixstory labor and delivery building. Specifically, I was responsible for all digital modeling and drawing output in addition to participating in design workshops with medical planners, user groups, project owners, and engineering consultants.

Professional Work Samples The Bannett Group, LTD. May 2010 - August 2013

During my time at the Bannett Group, I led many small-scale institutional and commercial projects, including a women’s center, several banks, and urgent care medical facilities. On these projects, I was responsible for the production of all construction documents; additionally, I led client meetings, worked with project managers and superintendents on and off site, selected finishes, and designed building systems with engineering consultants. These fast-paced design-build projects challenged me to develop on and off site problem solving skills and fostered the ability to work across disciplines to mediate between different trades and timelines.
