FITCHBURG SCHOOLS GARDENS A town of 40,000 in central Massachusetts, Fitchburg is suffering the repercussions of the now-dead mill industry in town. This project addresses the smallest citizens, and the need to cultivate a generation of local-minded folks to keep this small town healthy and vibrant. A simple replicable, and affordable, school greenhouse can be attached to an existing wall of the school, and includes the support and structure to create a thriving school garden, inside and out.

A week-long RISD spring break project led by critic Anastasia Congdon, a group of approximately ten students designed and built the basic structure of an aquaponics system for the New Urban Farmers' Pawtucket farm. A fellow student, Samantha Rose, and I designed and built seven benches / tank covers.

Long the site of copper-workshops, current conditions are unhealthy and unsafe. While many of these workshops are moving to a different site, it is imperative that the remaining workshops are brought up to date. Anchoring the north end of this centrally-located plaza, three buildings make up the new copper workshop, containing approximately 150 copper workers. Two newly constructed buildings join one patrimonial building to make a systematized progression of design and fabrication. The ancient craft is maintained, while bringing in modern machinery that will improve productivity and production. Further, the buildings themselves would be constructed of rammed earth, long the local method of building, while incorporating ventilation systems, light and air, that will improve the current working conditions.
MAINTAINING THE MATERIAL, MODERNIZING THE METHOD
A competition to reinvigorate the Place Lalla Ydouna, making it more a greater draw for tourists, therefore bringing more revenue into this ancient area of Fes.

BOOK OF HOURS VRINDAVAN, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA The sacred meeting place of Lord Krishna and his lover Radha, Vrindavan’s daily life is centered around its riverside ghats, steps that are the site for pujas – daily rituals of worship and offering to deities and the holy river Yamuna itself. It follows the lunar calendar, based in the Hindu and subsequent Indian National Calendar. The six seasons are represented, with each season’s lunar cycles and accompanying festivals, as well as the changing water level. Modeled on the medieval European devotional books that depicted every day life and marked religious holidays, this book presents a model that takes architectural site work beyond the typical conditions of geography to more thoroughly encompass the cultural and quotidian patterns that must inform architectural interventions.

the gravelly sound of skateboards ripping down hill, plastic against pavement; the faint trickle that becomes a rush of water, tires splashing through puddles; the laughing shrieks of co-eds returning home late at night
An urban dormitory, situated between a commercial street and a residential street, running narrow strip that rolls downhill. Between these two streets travel students on their way to class, neighbors walking to work or to dinner, skateboarders water from rainstorms and natural springs. The building responds to these rapidly moving forces, allowing them to rush past, while serving as a moment of stillness amidst the hustle of art school life: a dormitory as respite.

The simple, compact, well-joind scheme--myself disintegrated, every one disintegrated, yet part of the scheme: The similitudes of the past, and those of the future; The glories strung like beads on my smallest sights and hearings--on the walk in the street, and the passage over the river; The current rushing so swiftly, and swimming with me far away; The others that are to follow me, the ties between me and them; The certainty of others the life, love, sight, hearing of others. Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood, yet was hurried W Whitman
