The library is located 35 miles west of Chicago in Naperville, IL. The Treuse Library connects the city hall to the downtown through void, both physically and visually, and as it grows, it extrudes outward visually connecting it to adjacent Naperville landmarks. The diagram to the right shows the connections from the City hall, through the site and to the downtown, as well as the connections from the clock tower and eld of honor. This idea of connectivity is carried through the design.

FORM
The library consists of four main oors, with three suspended partial oors. The suspended oors are used as community spaces. The rst oor is used by the public and is in association with the exterior plaza that stretches from the city hall to the downtown. The second oor is designed for administration, and contains conference rooms and storage spaces suspended above. The third oor represents a traditional library. The stacks are placed to allow natural daylight in, as well as allowing views out. The suspended conference rooms

or meeting rooms can be rented out by the public, such as a girl scout meeting, zumba class, sewing club or an AIA meeting. The fourth oor represents the technology level, consisting of a media bar and computer lab. The suspeded oors could range from a gaming room or video room, to a 3D print room. The suspended oors allow to make more intimate, single story, spaces. For example, a

childrens corner is located below a meeting room, creating a more closed atmosphere, where the stacks are loacted in the two story space. The esculators are placed so that exit points are directly realted to connectivity through interior to exterior. The esculators arrive at view points of the city, and changing as it goes up.

CONNECTION The library is designed to have exterior exterior connection through the void that connects the city hall to the downtown and the extrusions to the adjacent points of the city. It also contains interior interior connection through the o set slabs, that create a relation from oor to oor, as well as
the connectivity from the suspended oors. The suspended oors also contribute to the interior exterior connection, in additoin to the placement of the cores, by helping to frame the views inside as well as being placed in perfect spots to view landmarks of the city.

The diagram above shows the core placement and the eld of honor tower.
The library is designed to de ne spaces by lighting. The stacks are located under suspended oors, creating a closer space and are associated with soft, glowing light. Walkways are correspond with high, two story ceilings, and long, linear, indirect lighting. More intimate spaces, such as seating areas, de ned by a suspended ceiling and direct lighting.

WESTCHESTER STATION Project: Design Innovation Campus. The students developed a design innovation campus in the Bronx, NY. The uni ed master plans combine an urban park with three typological structures - a design innovation center, a community center, and a mixeduse residential area that includes a train station. The master plan project was a semester long, fourth year, partner project for each typology. Westchester station is a highlight of an example for the train station and living component of the innovation center.

SITE INFORMATION As a master plan we analyzed the site. First where it is located in the world and its relation to the Bronx. The site consists of the Bronx River, the east and west banks of the river Concrete Plant Park, and extends to the Metro North, over the Sheraton Expressway, and to the Subway. We then looked at the legistics surrounding the site, population as well as the ages of the people living in the
SITE INFORMATION
Bronx, poverty levels, car ownership, as well as the surrounding transportation stops. We also looked at contents of the site such as high tide and low tide and temperature of the water. We concluded that the majority of the visitors to the site would come from public transportation and an access point is needed from the train stops to the site.
Concrete Plant Park was a run down part of town and is currently being revitalized to become a gathering destination.
Jim Mituzas, RLA, designer of the park, has helped restore this polluted area into a family friendly area

USING WATER AS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE
http://www.gizmag.com/sunshine-and-water-into-fuel/28563/
WETLANDS
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THE WATER: -Use water to make energy through generator turbines. -Using water as another transportation resource -New technology research to take water and sun light and create hydrogen fuel by splitting the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
CONCEPT We also looked into the type of innovation center we wanted to concentrate on and ultimately chose using water as a renewable resource. We wanted to use something that was already on the site rather than bringing outside resources in. The plan is to
use a wetlands method throughout the site to lter the water, pump the water into silos to store, process, and clean the water, then pump the water out to use throughout the site.
CONCEPT
GUILLEMINS TGV STATION SANTIAGO CALATRAVA
Creates a more pedestrian friendly and accessible interface that accommodates a high speed rail with different modes of transportation and connecting it to the surrounding suburban and urban areas.

The use of daylighting, ventilation, and interactive outdoor spaces creates a space that is comfortable both in winter and summer and day and night.
The train station combines different forms of rail transportation with office buildings that slice into the structure like a bridge. It successfully integrates fast movements from the station with opposing stationary visitors that are accessing the business buildings.

TRAIN COMMUNITY CENTER
The train station needs to split the medium to create an access bridge that connects to both train rails. Creating this central datum allows both locals and visitors to cross the means of transportation and enter the site and access the train rails easily. The exit entering the site leads right into the concrete plant park as well. The train station is centrally located on the site
to bene t both the Community Center and the Design Innovation Center. The Design Innovation Center is located north or up stream on the site to start the puri cation process of the wetlands, and the Community Center is located on the southern side to be able to connect with the concrete plant

This iteration connects East 165th street and Haviland Ave as well as the east and west side of the site. It allows the community to access the rails and site without having to go completely around. A central datum is created to connect upward to the Subway and Downward to the Metro North. There is a multi use space in the center of the train station. As the bridge continues across the Bronx River there is an outdoor space that leads to the restaurants. There are longer term apartments below the bridge, and short term stay above the bridge.

ITERATION 3 - BRIDGED
W AY SU B SHERATON EXPRESSWAY METRO NORTH
BRONX RIVER
The bridged iteration was chosen for its most practicality. It separated the train and the living making the living more private and allowing the opportunity to create a plaza in front. The train station houses multi use space in the center and connects to both the Metro North and the Subway. It created a passage way from the east side of the site to the west which allows visitors and locals to travel across the bridge creating a shorter distance, rather than around. Westchester Station contains glass
silos that contain water that is being cleaned and processed to use throughout the site. The bridge slices right past the silos allowing each user to experience the concrete plant park as they walk through. The bridge leads to an outdoor space that is enclosed by restaurants, shops, and cafe’s with housing located above. The housing contains voids throughout each level for outdoor spaces as well

PLACA DE PERSPECTIVA Project: Design a market located in Barcelona, Spain on the Barceloneta Beach. The market holds multi purpose functions and is located across the street from the Mediterranean Sea. The market project was a semester long, third year, partner project. I was a contributor in the concept, diagramming, design, and production of all drawings.
The site is located on the boardwalk of the Barcelontea Beach. It is surrounded by the a neighborhood on the north and west side, opens up to a plaza on the south side, and the boardwalk on the east
The concept for this placa was derived from the perception of pedestrians in the area surrounding the site. Observations of the manner in which local residents and temporary Barceloneta visitors would commute through the surrounding area were considered
The temporary tra c shows the paths that would be taken from the city center located on the left, as well as the surrounding bus stops, B, and Metro stops, M. The red represents the optional paths that can be taken to arrive at the site
PLAÇA DE PERSPECTIVA
SITE CONCEPT
The red indicates the visibility of the site from the residential perspective. The Darker the red, the more visible that location on the site is to the locals
The goal is to use visibility in order to bring people into the market. Each view point to the site was taken and the visibility was mapped with its de ections and visible parts.
The combination of local and temporary tra c and the visibility of the site from the beach is portrayed in red.

The views that are disrupted by of the trees that are blocking the view of the site from the plaza located to the south of the site are then marked above and diagrammed below.
BOARDWALK
Three major pedestrian viewpoints were considered and diagrammed. These views from the boardwalk, neighborhood streets and plaza next to the site were laid on top of each other treating obstructed views as voids. This was analyzed and serves as the foundation of the project. The darker the red the more visible the spot is to all three viewpoints. The white areas are spaces that no pedestrian can view the site.
The visibility of the site from the residential area above is mapped out above and a corresponding diagram is mapped below.

DETAIL
REFLECTED ROOF DIAGRAM The column placement, site, and paneling all resemble the diagram. All aspects are based on visibility, yet function for the various uses of the site. The Market structure consists of columns that act as acoustical barriers. These columns are placed according to the visibility of the site and oriented and turned in order to accommodate both the transparent visibility while on the site, yet is an attraction to visitors approaching the site from far away. The columns support perforated metal panels that are used to lter the sun in various ways, the more visible the area is, the more opaque the panel is. There are four di erent types of panels, voids for
non visible spaces, large perforation for low visibility, small perforation for more frequent visibility, and opaque sun panels for full visibility. The roof structure varies in height also dependent upon the visibility, the more visible, the taller the structure is. The columns support the panels that are not in contact with a column by suspending them o a hinge joint from the top of the column and connecting a rod to the panels by a similar hinge joint. The panels that have contact with the columns are welded to the columns and connected to the suspended columns by spider connections.

PLAN
The site is accommodated to make use for a ea market, concert area, and multi-use plaza area without any adjustments to allow the activities to function properly. The site is sloped to create visibility from points in contact with the boardwalk to points near the neighborhood where the elevation is the lowest. The sloped site also creates a ow for people to move throughout the shopping markets to create less tra c during these times. The column placement also allows power supply if necessary for the marker stands, and to power lights that are located at the bottom of the column that shine upwards
to create a pathway and ow throughout the site. The power used is being supplied by the energy collected by the sun panels placed on the opaque places on the roo ng system. The market booths surround the columns, shown in the plan, creating paths for the visitors to move throughout. The columns then turn counterclockwise to create an acoustical barrier and also allowing the columns to face parallel to the boardwalk to draw more attention to the site to attract visitors. The paneling that is suspended from the columns creates shading during the day.

DESIGN FOUNDATIONS Henry Ford Light Tower is a four week individual rst year design project that introduces the concepts of light and shadows as well as designing based on a client. It requires de ning spaces and accommodating an elevation change. New York City Lamp is a four week individual rst year design project that requires students to use one four by eight sheet of plywood and make a piece of furniture Dallas Residence of Art Shadow Box is a three week individual project that is based on an architectural project that incorporates elements of the project, abstracted and placed into a box.
MODEL PICTURES
INSPIRATION This light tower was inspired by Henry Ford and is located near his birth place resting upon the bay in Lake Michigan. It focuses on using industrial style designs to incorporate characteristics of the Model T car. It di erentiates public spaces such as the living area, kitchen and dinning versus the private spaces,
bedrooms and bathrooms. The public spaces act as the cab of a car while the private resembles the hidden spaces, such as the hood and trunk of a car. The grill like side, exhaust pipe chimney, windows, and headlight like skylights allowed di erent lighting and shadows to occur throughout the light house
HENRY FORD
The lamp was made entirely out of one piece of four by eight sheet of plywood and contains all natural connections, no bolts, screws, nails, glue were used and can be easily taken down. The light gives o indirect lighting is accomodated with attached side tables. The string is weighted at the bottom so that the light can be adjusted up or down depending on the setting.

SKETCHES
The residence of Art House in Dallas, Texas by Lake is the concept for the shadow box. It’s unique oor plan and elements were abstracted and transformed throughout the box. The bottom layer is the original oor plan, with red gradient celebrating the great views out of the house.
The plan is rotated and extruded to express the MODEL structural load bearing walls and main axis of the house. The plan is transformed once more to show how the unique roof shapes adds to the complex design of the house. RESIDENCE OF ART HOUSE
PROFESSIONAL WORK I have interned at BRW Architects for ve years. BRW specializes in municipal work in all parts of Texas and has 103 award winning re stations. I have been able to work on all parts of a project through my time at BRW and it has allowed me to fully understand how a building goes together from start to nish. As
well as my contribution in architecture I have been able to work on the marketing side of things including bringing projects in, working on request for quali cations and marketing material used at conferences and client meetings.
Orange Central Fire Station is a 22,000 sq. ft. building housing not only remen of Orange, TX but also is equipped with an administration sector. I was able to design the clock tower, be involved in the design process, both interior and exterior elevations, deciding nishes, and the furnish, nish, and dimension plans. The project came in over bid and the clock tower was originally eliminated until a family in the community fell in love with the design and sponsored it. The project was completed in the spring of 2012
ORANGE CENTRAL FIRE STATION Aldine Fire Station is located outside of Houston, TX. It is a 12,000 sq. ft. building that houses 10 re men on shift and due to location the station strived for more of a contemoporary feel versus a neighborhood style. I was involved at the inital part of the project in creating oor plan schemes with corresponding elevations and presenting them to to the client. The project is currently in CD’s.
ALDINE FIRE STATION NO. 21
South Padre Island Fire Station No. 1 is a 25,000 sq. ft. station located on the island. It is designed with the public spaces such as treatment rooms on the rst oor, living spaces on the second, and administration on the third level. The station is complete with a walk out roof top that has views of the entire island. I photographed the entire station after it was completed in september of 2012.

Pearland Fire Station No. 3 is a 18,000 sq. ft. building located in Pearland, TX. It houses 6 re men and 2 ems on shift. Pearland had a few restrictions from the city, the design had to be 100% masonry, all walls facing the road had to contain 25% glass, the building must be LEED silver, and there are 7 giant historical oak trees that must remain on the site. The plan was tricky because it had to accommodate the lay out of the trees, therefore, the bedroom wing swings of at a forty ve degree angle. The program and plan was already determined when I was brought on the project, but I worked heavily on the design of the buildings as well as the detailing that took place on the elevations. I also worked on plan, roof, wall, window and door details, wall sections, nish, furnish, dimension, and base plans, building sections, and exterior and interior elevations. The project is almost complete and will go out to bid in early January of 2014.
PEARLAND FIRE STATION NO. 3 Willowfork Fire Station No. 2 is a 14,000 sq. ft. building housing six remen on shift. I was involved in the design process, both interior and exterior elevations, deciding nishes, and furnish, nish, and dimension plans. It was recently completed in the Fall of 2013

Port Arthur Transit Authority is a 14,000 sq. ft. building located in Port Arthur, TX. It houses administration services, it is located in the downtown at the main bus stop. With a low budget we alternated between various metal paneling to give a more industrial feel,
yet allowing the building to have a more interesting facade. I took part in the design as well as the program and layout of the building. I also worked on plan, roof, wall, window and door details, wall sections, nish, furnish, dimension, and base plans, building sections, and exterior and interior elevations.
