TUSKEGEE LAKE MARINA Location: Tuskegee, Alabama
FALL 2012 SECOND YEAR STUDIO
The project assignment was to design a marina on the Tuskegee Lake to replace the existing vacant marina. The primary function of the marina is to store kayaks and canoes for rental to be used by the residents of Tuskegee, Alabama to enjoy. The additional amenities included but not limited to are a rental office, restrooms, locker rooms, two food venders, and an indoor/outdoor dining area. I included a multi-purpose space for versatility. This space can serve as a conference room or a ballroom for guest to hold events. The shape of a canoe inspired the design of the building. The partial placement of the building in the lake was to give the guest an illusion of being on the lake.

TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS STUDY MEMORIAL Location: Tuskegee University, Tuskegee, Alabama
SPRING 2013 SECOND YEAR STUDIO
The project assignment was to design a memorial to pay homage to the victims and their families of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. A large portion of the project was to experiment with the contour manipulation on the campus of Tuskegee University. My design partner and I researched the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. In our findings, we discovered the words; deceit, darkness, and struggle to describe the study which assisted us in developing a concept. The amphitheatre with an underground memorial provides a direct view to the Statue of Samson. The underground amphitheatre represents deceit and blindness or darkness of the victims misled about treatment for syphilis only to realize they were subjects of an experiment. The Statue of Samson is “The Light at the End of the Tunnel� which represents the victims and theirs families receiving justice and overcoming their struggles because of the study.

This space will have two retail shops and a restaurant catering to Tuskegee University and the Greenwood Community. The site is on one of two parcels of land that front Franklin Road in the Greenwood Neighborhood near the campus. Sustainable design features included cool roofs or green roofs and shading devices.

2013 NOMA STUDENT COMPETITION TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
FALL 2013 THIRD YEAR STUDIO
The project objective was to design a carbon-neutral mixed-used transit oriented development located at the intersection of E. 25th Street and the Monon Trail in Indianapolis, Indiana. The proposed facilities will create an assortment of local services that will connect the adjacent communities of Martindale-Brightwood and King Park. The transit oriented development design will encompass a light rail system that allows individuals to connect to the downtown area and encourages pedestrian activity. This system encourages new and existing residents to minimize vehicular use and traffic within that area. As the Monon Trail continues to expand it is one of the focal points in this design. The program will consist of 23 offices and retail spaces, 20 multi and single family residential units, 10 studio apartments, 10 retirement apartments, 10 live/work units, a child care center, an auditorium, an outdoor performance theatre, a charter school, a community center, a public library, and multiple public green spaces.

n The Indy connect is central Indiana's transportation initiative. It will include doubling the service for buses that currently exist, implementing a light rail or bus rapid transit system, increasing bike and pedestrian pathways, and expanding, maintain and improving the roadway and bridge system. There currently is not any mode of public transit serving E 25th street and Monon Trail, the design must include the transportation that is implied by this initiative.

P. H. POLK PHOTOGRAPHY MUSEUM AND LEARNING CENTER Location: Washington, D.C.
FALL 2013 THIRD YEAR STUDIO
The project objective is to design a photography museum and learning center to discover the advancement of photography over time. The advancement of photography has progressed from pinhole cameras to cell phone cameras. The uses of other medians such as black and white film, 35 mm cameras, and portable cameras evolved during this time. Digital media is ringing in the new era of photography such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. These tools allow individuals to post their daily activities in a matter of seconds. Prentice Herman Polk Photography Museum and Learning Center is a teaching and learning facility that will display digital and printed copies of photographs of Polk’s work in today’s advancement of photography. Polk was the first official photographer of Tuskegee University. He captured the common elements of humanity and everyday lives of African Americans including noted individuals like George Washington Carver and Mildred Hanson Baker. The use of heavy timber and various masonry units are the materials used for construction. The museum materiality should be pulled from surrounding elements within the context of the site. The space arrangement should capture the social ability and interactions between people and the built environment of the museum. The museum should be pulled on sustainable features such as natural ventilation, shading, green roofs, water collection, and solar power.
