PORTFOLIO
ARCHITECTURE IS THE DESIGN OF A FUNCTIONAL STAGE FOR THE MANY HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED THROUGH VARIOUS CULTURAL NEEDS. IT IS THE DESIGN FOR THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL FORM AND VISUAL AESTHETICS. ARCHITECTURE MUST BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE DIFFERENT NEEDS OF A CLIENT IN AN EFFECTIVE AND MEANINGFUL WAY. THIS DEFINITION OF ARCHITECTURE HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND CHANGE THROUGH THE VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL PERIODS. THE FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE HAS, HOWEVER, REMAINED A PRACTICE OF THE HAND. TODAY THE FIELD IS CHANGING TO INCLUDE THE USAGE OF BIM SOFTWARES, PARAMETRIC TOOLS WITH SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS TOOLS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BEGAN TO WEAVE THEIR INFLUENCE INTO THE FIELD AND REVOLUTIONIZE THE ROLE IN WHICH ARCHITECTS PLAY IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING ARCHITECTURE. THROUGH PARAMETRIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS TOOLS THE DESIGN OF ARCHITECTURE HAS SEEN A MUCH WIDER RANGE OF PASSIVE AND ACTIVE SYSTEMS BEING DEVELOPED. THE ABILITY FOR DESIGNERS TO DESIGN FOR VARIOUS DIFFERENCES IN CLIMATE WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF ACCURACY IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND EVEN THE WAY WE SEE ARCHITECTURE. PROGRESSING THESE TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FUTURE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARCHITECTS GROWING UP. I WANT TO HELP PROGRESS ALONG WITH THIS MOVEMENT AND PUSH TO CREATE TRULY ORGANIC AND FUNCTIONAL BUILDINGS THROUGH THE USE OF MATHEMATICAL, AND PARAMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS.

DESIGN BUILD this project was to do a quick charrette style design build project with the entire studio class. the design was a small shed and garden walkway that would act to assist the people at second harvest in savannah, georgia. in construction we investigated the building techniques of ethiopia by making rammed earth tiles for the garden area and using similar construction techniques as workers.

THIS PROJECT IS A SMALL COASTAL EDUCATION CENTER AND AQUARIUM FOR A SITE NEAR TYBEE ISLAND NEAR SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. THE PROGRAM INCLUDED A PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR BRIDGE TO ACT AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN SAVANNAH AND TYBEE BY CONNECTING TO THE 6 MILE RAILROAD LINE THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONVERTED INTO A SCENIC GREEN WALK WAY.
OUTDOOR EXHBIT VIEW
THE SKIN OF THE STRUCTURE WAS INSPIRED BY THE LIGHTING EFFECT THAT A CANOPY OF LEAVES IN THE FOREST CREATE THROUGH REFLECTION AND REFRACTION. I WAS ALSO INSPIRED TO CREATE A BUILDING THAT BRIDGED THE VERY NOTICEABLE DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, COASTAL LANDSCAPE AND THE BUILT.

RIGHT: TO CREATE A SITE PLAN WITH THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CIRCULATION I USED THE PARAMETRIC CAPABILITIES OF GRASSHOPPER TO CREATE SEVERAL ATTRACTOR AND VECTOR POINTS AND LINES THAT EACH CREATE DIFFERENT PATTERNS. I USED THESE FLOW PATTERNS TO ZONE OUT THE SITE AND TO DESIGN THE FLOW OF THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS ACROSS THE SITE.
THROUGH THE USE OF THE SOLAR AND WIND ANALYSIS TOOLS IN REVIT VASARI I STUDIED THE DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT MY BUILDING WOULD POSE TO ITS SURROUNDING CONTEXT IN THE CITY OF CHARLOTTE.

PARAMETRIC AND GENERATIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR THE BUILDING ARTS PROFESSOR DIETZ ELDS 414 WINTER 2012
OBJECTIVE: THIS COURSE TEACHES PARAMETRIC STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING ARCHITECTURE. IT GOES THROUGH HOW TO CREATE VARIOUS PARAMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS AND ADAPTIVE MODELS ALONG WITH SIMPLE MATHEMATIC RELATIONSHIPS TO BE ABLE TO CREATE COMPLEXITY THROUGH SIMPLICITY.
LEFT: IN THESE ASSIGNMENTS I EXPERIMENTED WITH THE VARIOUS PARAMETRIC FAMILIES IN REVIT SUCH AS THE GENERIC MODEL ADAPTIVE AND CURTAIN PANEL PATTERN BASED FAMILIES WITH PARAMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS TO CREATE A PARAMETRIC PLAZA .
IN THEIS ASSIGNMENT I EXPLORED THE PARAMETRIC CAPABILITIES OF RHINO GRASSHOPPER. USING GRASSHOPPER I LEARNED HOW TO CREATE COMPLEX PARAMETRIC FORMS, STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS, AND BUILDING SKIN SYSTEMS.
LEFT: PSEUDOPARAMETRIC PROJECT USING RHINO AND THE CURTAIN PANELING TOOLS TO CREATE A SMALL BUS STOP AREA.
IN THIS ASSIGNMENT I CHOSE A GRASSHOPPER DEFINITION FROM ONLINE AND DID A STUDY ON IT AND LEARNED THE “DEFINITION” ON GRASSHOPPER AND LATER TAUGHT IT TO THE CLASS. I CHOSE TO STUDY AND LEARN A QUICK PARAMETRIC BRIDGE SET UP TO PRESENT TO THE CLASS.
