INVOLVEMENT DAAP Cares, Cincinnati Ohio, 2017-2018 We provide design services to the under-served in the community. Our 2017 project provided design assistance to the It’s On Us campaign that resulted in campus wide posters and graphics that unified the project.

S ÄY N ÄT S A L O T O W N H A L L PRECEDENT STUDY TEAM PROJECT FA L L 2 0 1 8 Studying Alvar Aalto’s Säynätsalo Town Hall is all about understanding critical regionalism, romanticism and the relationship between the built world and communities. His work spanned between classicism to experimentalism. Studying Saynatsalo Town Hall is an exercise in manipulated grids, proportion and manipulating public and private places all while uniquely capturing a space for community members.
FO R M A L D RAW I N G STUDY
While identifying main elements of the building, floor plans, sections, elevations and an axon were studied and replicated in a meaningful way according to Alvar Aalto’s iconic design. The drawings were completed with micron and prisma marker.
R EG U L AT I N G L I N E STUDY
To capture the main design ideas, 3D diagram depicting regulating lines in the building were generated from the main space of the Town Hall, the courtyard. Waffle modeling and carving volumes were employed when creating the diagrams and accomplished in the Wood Shop. The diagrams were completed with basswood, cedar, and cardboard composite.
S PAT I A L S EQ U E N C E DESIGN CONCEPT FA L L 2 0 1 8 Using horizontal and vertical planes, the conceptual design had to capture areas of study, overlook, vertical circulation and a main entry. The main design language conveyed incorporated offset corners that framed these important spaces to create varying levels of privacy and lighting.
CONCEPT MODEL
The concept model was created paying special attention to the scale and thickness of the varying planes to create hierarchy within the design. Within the photos, views of the study, overlook, vertical circulation and a main entry begin to become tangible and are further rendered in perspective hand drawings. The model was completed using basswood and handcrafted in the wood shop.

ALMS INSERTION DESIGN CONCEPT SPRING 2018 The Alms building was the first building constructed in the DAAP building complex, constructed in 1948. It currently contains three floors of studios. The premise for the insertion was to create a unifying space for the studios to collaborate. This was accomplished with an atrium space and glazing the adjoining studio walls within the gallery space. All centered towards creating a fishbowl effect which further unified the space.
I D E A L I Z AT I O N D R AW I N GS
The first step in the design process was to gather ideas and create sketch models and collages. In total, nine sketch models were created focusing on the ideas of atmosphere, site context, lighting and proportion. A final sketch model was created to bring together design ideas from the initial models. The models were completed with cardboard and chipboard.
I D E A L I Z AT I O N SKETCH MODELS
FINAL MODEL
The final design incorporated interaction between the existing studios and the new gallery space to unify the three floors of studios. This was achieved by creating an atrium space with a grand stair leading to the 7th floor studio and adding glazing to the shared walls. The final model was completed with basswood and chipboard.

F O L LY TEAM PROJECT SPRING 2018 The folly project was an exploration of 1:1 structure and a test of construction. The design was interconnected with 16 other designs in a “snake� through a main walkway of UC campus. The main design language the team conveyed was creating an entrance into the back half of the snake using an open angle in effort to draw users in from the sidewalk, as well as creating conversation areas on different levels of the construction.
E STA B L I S H I N G A MOOD
FOLLY CULTURE PRECEDENT: ELIN HANSDOTTIR
From the beginning it was important for the group to establish a mood for our Folly to differentiate from the other 8 groups. Our folly focused on the idea of levels and points of interaction from different heights and viewpoints. Completed using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
FINAL CONSTRUCT SNAKE
The final construct formed into a group of 8 other follies to create a snake. The photograph shows how the follies interlocked and created the group through campus. The drawing is a series of elevations of the 8 follies starting with our design in the top right. The drawings are completed with Adobe Illustrator and generated through Sketchup, Rhino and AutoCAD.
MAUSOLEUM CONCEPT FA L L 2 0 1 7 A site visit was taken to Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati to document the architecture of the Mausoleums. Sketches and measurements were taken, and ideas generated to conceptualize the interior of a grave. The interior design of the Mausoleum aimed to create an inviting space with warm colors and textures.
MAUSOLEUM CONCEPT
The first step was to sketch initial ideas to present for review. After that, measurements were taken and the concept was drafted. Next the concept was digitally drawn using AutoCAD. The final step was to give the idea life through a rendering using warm colors and textures, which was completed in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
MAUSOLEUM EXTERIOR RENDERING
M A S H R A B I YA D I G I TA L SCREEN PROJECT IN PROGRESS The project was centered around recreating a Mashrabiya screen using only AutoCAD, paying attention to lineweight and depth within the drawing. Next, the design was to be augmented to create a new design that gradually transformed the original into a new screen. AutoCAD and Rhino were used to complete this project. The next step, which is still in progress is to create a basic architecture form and augment for personalization to eventually merge with the screen designs.
M A S H R A B I YA S C R E E N
AUTOCAD
RHINO The goal was to create a Mashrabiya inspired screen using only AutoCad, and then augment the original design to create a new design that incorporated the transformation using only Rhino. The original design was inspired by the Jama Masjid Mosque’s screens.
C R O S S VA U LT M O D E L I N G
Exploring Rhino modeling to create a basic architecture form to eventually house the screen and play with the augmentation within the basic form. Modeled here is a Cross Vault.
COLOR STUDY OTR FA L L 2 0 1 8 After studying the color of Cincinnati’s OTR district for a day, design theorists like Josef Albers were studied to make decisions about color. One design monochromatic, and the other polychromatic to digitize the Italianate building’s bright colors. Adobe Illustrator was primarily used in this project and the colors were further investigated.
COLOR STUDY OTR
An exploration of color relationships inspired by the vibrant color palate of Over The Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati. Completed using Adobe Illustrator with attention to color theorist, especially Josef Albers.
