An Aquatic Center for New Orleans Collaboration: Rachel Westmoreland
The basic parti of the aquatic center was to place on site three perfect boxes, each containing a different program, the hotel + spa, olympic pool, and parking. The form of the boxes have a direct conversation to the surroundings light industrial typlogies. All the components of the design follow a set of paramaters divisible by twenty, which correlates to residential spacing between each property. Studio Critic: Ammar Elouieni

Urban Loggia
A dance academy for New Orleans The concept for the dance academy was based on future exapnsion of the pedestrian path proposed by the WW II Museum. Using the proposed path as paramter for private and public circulation. The first two floors of the dance academy is public with an urban loggia that addresses the street with public program like the theater and resturants/shop. As the pedestrian apporaches the building they see the interior courtyard above that has a direct communication with the street. The interior courtyard is only accessible to the dancers and faculty of the dance academy. Making the spaces above unique and private, the studios are covere with a louvered facade that blocks the sun while still allowing for transparency. The movement of the dancers activates the facade working together in a systme of activation and static.

Art of Representation
A series of analytical, detail, and conceptual sketches Through the art of sketching I facilitate my designs from my head to paper. This method of representation helps me solve problems and think critically. Invoking my design curiosity to its limits, using a range of medium including water colors, pen, and pencil, which allow me to highlight key components of my ideas. My background in drawing has influenced my views on process and scale. I keep a series of sketchbooks which I use to keep notations and work out my design projects.
