Morphogenesis Part I In collaboration with Nicole Bronola Semester Seven In the first phase of the project, Morphogenesis, I start with a pre-existing structure by Calatrava, Wohlen High School, and discover the underlaying geometries. The structure is then simplified and transformed to its most basic form, an equilateral triangle.

Morphogenesis Part II: Greenville Airport Semester Seven Individual Work In the second phase of the project, the base geometry is manipulated to form the main skeletel structure of the overhang. The structure is designed to be built with precast concrete with repeating geometries for efficiency.

Solar Cooking for the People Honorable Mention DenCity, an international competition seeking architectural solutions for impoverished conditions Semester Six, Individual Work Sol is a proposal of easy to construct solar ovens for communal use in third world slum conditions. Each unit contains six ovens, counter space, and places to gather and sit. Solar ovens eliminate the need for electricity and wood in cooking and come with no negative environmental or health implications.
The structure is steel which supports the mud bricks
