Drawings below are from an intensive analysis into the Croffead House by Clark & Menefee Architects. The drawings utilized CAD to depict sections of the building at a 45 degree axonometric, allowing a knowledge of the construction methods and materials to emerge as each layer was peeled back from within the drawing.

Extensive field measurements of a portfolio of over 600 rental units in the WNY area created 3-dimensional renderings, allowing for a marketing scheme that leveraged each buildings architectural design as a tool. This gave agency to a comprehensive branding and measurement package that benefitted both renovation crew and leasing operations.

Circular Array uses technical standards of program elements as generators of form for a boat factory, dock, and parking structure in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The arc of the array is scaled to accomodate different aspects of the design, from the macro of the site planning to the micro of different circulation paths. 3D modeling, model making and CAD drawings were used to create the mechanism for design.

T H E G R E AT E R O U T E R H A R B O R OLD FIRST WARD, BUFFALO, NY
ACADEMIC (M.ARCH)
This project was conceptualized in tandem with the real life controversy over the development of a tract of land in the Outer Harbor region of downtown Buffalo, NY. The Greater Outer Harbor stitched together pieces of program already developed in the area, while providing a concise argument for a grand park on the waterfront, referencing the rich Olmstedian park history existent in Buffalo. Using different landscape design elements and strategic program and development sites, the outer harbor in Buffalo is woven into a set of comprehensive programmed green spaces.

AVIAN
Avian species are abundant in the Outer Harbor, these areas encourage avian habitat development as well as provide a larger population with more dedicated zones for birdwatchers to experience while building on existing infrastructure.
Floral fauna and specialized plants such as milkweed would attract pollinators to the area. Monarch Butterfly & Bee species look to provide natural “boundary” areas to discourage passage of humans in certain areas.

Nearby nature preserve terrestrial populations already bleed into the site, these spaces allow for creation of new terrestrial corridors as well as connect & strengthen the existing ones.
With Lake Erie already being a major recreational fishing zone, these areas create aquatic habitat for smaller, lower current dwelling species, as well as foster spawning of other aquatic life.
These areas showcase the zones that are accessible by humans. This access and area creates revenue that allows the park to be self-sustaining in regards to maintenance costs.

MEMORIAL DESIGN IN THE AGE OF TERROR THESIS, 2014-2015, PROF. HADAS STEINER-CHAIR, PROF. SEAN BURKHOLDER, ADVISOR
En Memoriam is an exploration of the relationship between architectural design and memorial culture in the United States. It investigates the memorial as a repository of the values of society expressed through a designed object or space, analyzing specifically the impact and evolution of the memorial since Abraham Lincoln’s commemoration of Gettysburg field as the nations first war memorial. Empirical and historical research create an objective process that determiens the effectiveness of a memorial’s design by comparing the subject it represents against the space and design decisions made. This
process informed strategies on how to design a memorial to the War on Terror, a vague, endless campaign began by the United States after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
am attempts to understand a relevant complex socio-political issue while suggesting manners in which to improve monument and memorial fabrication, planning and design.
These attacks on the United States have effected the country economically, politically, and socially ushering in a new Age of Terror, where policy and military decisions are made in fear against an obscure, vague enemy. This thesis analyzes this present day struggle in designing a memorial to something that has no definitive resolution, and a multitude of valid conflicting perspectives. En Memori-
Pictured below are final renderings and diagrams of the final stage of the thesis, a memorial to the War on Terror situated on the border of Washington D.C. and Arlington V.A. The full thesis is available at the QR code and link below.
