BIOGRAPHY I grew up on a bean field outside a small town in West Tennessee. I was born into a big southern family as the stereotypical independent middle child. These circumstances of my life started molding a self-aware individual at a young age. I have grown to highly appreciate my hometown of Dyersburg, TN for I truly believe the lack of intentional twenty-first century architecture is what initiated my curiosity for design. Growing up, I vividly remember traveling to larger cities such as Nashville and Atlanta and becoming enthralled by the monumentality of a city. Those buildings express a collection of imaginative culture, and I want to contribute to that culture. Now that I have been through architecture school, I can see that my adolescent interest was merely one layer of curiosity that opened a world of derivative curiosities. Though my college career of exploring and producing work is almost over, I am eager to learn and continue exploring what architecture and design has the capacity to do with the technology that is now available and evolving.

As a team, we’ve analyzed Subaru as a brand and found what it means to us is more than a car, it’s using the car literally and figuratively as a vehicle for experience. Intelligent site placement is a key component for the brand being that the car manufacturer is an International company headquartered in Japan. In the U.S., Subaru has a corporate headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJ, Denver, CO, and a manufacturing headquarters in Aurora, CO. This informed our site selection a great deal. When researching the brand’s essence, it was realized the emphasis put on the experiential and adventurous qualities of the car and ultimately who the car attracts. Keeping with the business strategy Subaru has already selected by having a presence in the western part of the U.S., we decided to follow and place our design an hour and 45 minutes from Denver in an archaic mining community in Leadville, CO. One of many reasons why site was chosen was to showcase the car in its ‘allterrain’ environment. Leadville is known for its harsh winters and dramatic topography change.
This site is of interest to us because of its recognition by the Environmental Protection Agency as a Superfund site of restoration, a landscape destroyed by mining in the early 1800’s left as a wasteland for a community to sort out the years to come. We believe this encapsulates Subaru’s essence, one way by the ‘Zero Landfill Initiative’ put forth as a marketing effort boasting that as a manufacturer, Subaru has reused or recycled 100% of its used goods. They also mirror this ideal in-terms of land preservation by partnering with the National Parks Foundation in the U.S. to achieve the same standards. Leadville, CO is a place with extreme landscape, extreme climate variation, and a place that is home to many brownfield sites. **[The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a brownfield as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant”.]** We believe there is no better way to exemplify the

brands essential qualities than placing a Subaru car experience center in Leadville, CO. These programmatic ‘bars’ as integrated in the landscape offer an interesting dichotomy with the Rocky Mountain Range on the horizon. In parti, the design team visualized the two bars, one as a horizontal slab - depressing into the earth while the other penetrates the slab as well as the earth, piercing the ground and expressing a subterranean condition, utilizing an abandoned mine shaft as parking. These two moves act as a pin-point for Subaru as an experience center on the west coast of the U.S. The building, spatially is meant to be viewed as a box truss structure stabilizing the recreation slab below - being a thin, long, transparent piece in the landscape with programmed space in-between, while vertically there is a tower, complimenting, yet juxtaposing the surrounding context. The tower is meant to pay homage to the site and its history by turning 11 degrees to the north-west, mirroring the grain of abandoned mine thats 40
feet below grade. Establishing the recreation slab as a transparent component, this informed us with the skin of the tower. The project is about juxtaposition on many different levels, but to reiterate this we have chosen a facade system that is a repetition of perforated metal panels with punctures systematically designed to accentuate views the scenic landscape surrounding the site. In further development we are looking at 2030 palette and successful LEED strategies to enhance the building performance and strengthen the argument of Subaru’s brand-wide initiatives that have made the company the thrillseeking, earth-conscious powerhouse it is today.

The world today runs off the fuel of an everchanging global economy and international relations between nations. In a city of 2.7 million people, Chicago, Illinois, is a substantial representative of this diverse exchange of not just goods but also culture, knowledge, experience and so much more. Founded on these values of trade, Chicago has become a home for hundreds of people groups from all over the globe. Architecturally, a building that emphasizes such concepts is an embassy. These diplomatic missions are located in the capital

city of a host country and are extensions of the country they represent. A consulate carries out the same functions as an embassy but is located in a city other than the capital of the host country. Currently, Chicago is home to 87 consulates from all over the world, and this design houses them collectively in a tower to emphasize the value of intercultural relations in Chicago. Other significant program pieces include community crops, a market, and a monument for the 2008 financial crisis.

Built at the end of the Fourteenth century, Lobzowska Castle has seen many architectural styles come and go. With each new extension and repurpose history has dressed this building and this site. The buildings known purposes include a palace, Cadet Corps, School of Infantry, and school of architecture and physics. With each new purpose of the building nature has played a major role in the identity of this site. Alternating from a garden to a park and back the surrounding program has historically been as significant as the building itself. This realization has guided the proposal for detached classrooms, exhibition spaces, and the interior lawn. In the proposal, the fluid relationship between an organized plan and a wave-like natural roof became the focus. This relationship addresses the age old conflict of man versus nature in order to enrich communication amongst the historic Lobzowska Castle, the new proposal, and the landscape.
The continuation of the street edge is necessary to strengthen the urban fabric on this site. Relics of historic architecture has left this site as a broken piece in the city tissue and has also caused circulation issues for the site. Therefore the threshold, governing much site circulation, became the focus of this proposal. Located on the Southeast edge this new building provides a barrier between the street and the interior lawn. This location also mends the urban fabric and creates a zone of semi-private before the newly opened up public lawn. Descriptions of a moat were included with reports of Lobzowska Castle when it was first built at the end of the fourteenth century. This is the original spark encouraging a water feature running throughout the site. This water aspect also drove the design toward a largely natural form. From the image of water geometries molded the roof while the glassbox organization was molded by the historic building interior.

This project was prompted by the collaboration of a facial cleansing brush and a feminine animal. The quirky nature of this prompt was a challenge to overcome by designing and cohesive product. By choosing a poodle for the cleansing brush inspiration, the product wanted to be playful and soft with geometric connections. Ergonomics and accessibility to facial creases were subjects of all design moves made. Change in material indicates were the hand comfortably holds the cleansing brush. Two interchangeable brush heads correspond to different contours of the face. The accompanying brush stand allows for open air to dry the brush after usage.

Rapid Collection is a speculative landscape design that utilizes the floodplain of the Cumberland River to create a new social and economic network. The design uses river flow dynamics and river groynes to allocate sediment-filled water into channels. These channels are weaved onto the site, Cornelia Fort Airpark, and ultimately empty back into the Cumberland River after speeding up the rate of flow in the first stage of the design and slowing down the rate of flow in the second stage of the design. The first stage is narrow channels with rough bottoms, thus creating rapids to churn the sediment in the water. The second stage is large trickle-down collection pools. These pools are designed to allow water to slowly flow back to the river while sediment is filtered out and collected at the bottom of the pools. As the pools fan out at the south region
of the site, they are designed as webs to allow machinery to travel along the crests in order to remove the sediment that has settled along the bottom. Seasonal changes in water levels alter site programs throughout the year. Sediment is harvested in the winter when water levels are at their lowest. Various water activities such as kayaking take place during the spring and summer when the water level is high. The sediment will be stored on site in large piles to be used for economic and social engagement. The sediment piles will be open to the public for reformation making the public an agent of change and making the piles an extremely temporal aspect of the site. Over time water will act as an agent of change as well though this process will span over a much longer period of time.

DAVIDSON COUNTY SOILS Middle Tennessee sits on the Cumberland Plateau thus it has a shallow soil profile. The geology of bedrock can be found between a few and a few feet from the topsoil layer. The soil and rock can be stratified easily during wet seasons. The bedrock creates a nonpermeabile surface that allows water to carry the eroded soils to the water table. The streams that empty into the Cumberland River are filled with sediment that has eroded from soild within the watershed of the river.

Ijams Nature Park is an extremely activated network of trails, quarries, and parks south of Knoxville’s downtown city center. It is a highlight of the city and attracts many adventure seekers. As a reaction to the attention surrounding Ijams, a recreation center was composed. Designed as vernacular architecture, the recreation center is light-frame wood construction, with a doublepitched roof, and a series of translucent skylights. The skylights indicate various programs such as lobby, cafe, check-in desk, bike rental, and water sports rental. The recreation center also houses a museum component recognizing the history of quarries in Knoxville. It is situated on the edge of Mead’s Quarry Lake as a procession from land to water. A series of ramps allows for access up to the stilted structure and down to the quarry’s shore. The recreation center further promotes active reuse of Knoxville’s historic quarry industry.
