Progression of Direction
Adding the idea of control to exaggerate the feeling of compression
In this project the idea was to create a specific feeling within a space. Given specific dimensions of four different rooms we had to invoke a feeling with in them. With this I began to d esign a space that explored directionality through compression.
With the use of compression and decompression of structural elements the person is pushed or directed through the space. Leading the user from one room to the next, creating the spatial experience of directionality.

Threshold Through Communities: A precast concrete study of form
The form was derived to be as versatile as possible in creating a single “building block� that could connect as well as separate spaces in a new way. working through multiple itterations of the piece and then applying it to a structure it could become a gathering space for community members. Creating a community space with in a threshold or transition from one space to another.The threshold becomes a node for interaciton between users

Pittsburgh Market and Office
Starting with two distinct patterns, one man made and the other natural , a system was designed that could be thencontrolled to create a building facade. This facade would later be used to create the form of a market and office space for the Pittsburgh Market District. Forming a new system by extracting ideas about grids, quadrants, colors, and the connection of center points. The new system discovered created a triangulated grid. The triangulated pattern creates unique qualities by creating a very distinct system using one shape which is repeated. The new pattern is an iteration of the original but not yet a transformation. To create a transformation the original grid must be manipulated. A grid can be broken down into quadrants, and this allowed for the new system to be controlled locally and globally.

The flower, radiating lines, gradients of colors, central axis, and the connection of end points were all ideas which were examined to form a new system. The end points of the radiating lines were numbered according to distances from the center. The points were then connected in order from smallest to largest. What becomes intriguing about this pattern is that these precise rules created a seemingly random pattern. What this new system begins to lack is a way to further control and transform the pattern. By using the grid and quadrants discovered in the previous textile studies, the system can be further modified to maximize its control. NNEP

The Orangery or Event Space has the opposite programmatic distribution from all of the other rooms with in the building. The services like the kitchen and bathroom are located in the center of the space and the circulation and party space is located along the exterior. This opposition was created to allow for views from the event space out into the park. The event space has a direct axis with the entrance and is surrounded by the gardens but still is able to maintain privacy through a density of columns and buffer like courtyards.

Sustainable Futures Costa Rica
While studying abroad at the Monteverde Institute we were faced with the challenge of designing a waste water treatment facility for the local town. Costa Rica is known for its sustainable initiatives, its diverse wild life, and as an eco-friendly destination. To maintain its position as this model country it must continue to protect its environment and water table. Monteverde is located at the top of the RĂo Guacimal watershed. In this project we addressed the important issue of water consumption and distribution. By re-examining current water consumption and wastewater treatment practices we could in turn help the nation achieve its goals of carbon neutrality. With the increase in tourism within Monteverde in the last twenty years, the region has begun to face a growth problem but also has a great opportunity to educate locally and on a large scale about the importance of water and wastewater management. The goal of this project was to help the community in the initial research and development of the facility. Faculty:

Glass Blowing Studio and Urban Housing Studying the furnace
For this project we were given a site along the busy Elmwood street in down town Buffalo and were told to create a work-live urban housing complex. The city thrives on culture. To promote this I proposed an art based public program. A glass blowing studio not only allowed for a space for young artist to work and live but also created a theatrical element that could contribute to the fabric of the Elmwood strip. The furnaces necessary for glass blowing run at very high temperatures, approximately 2,400 degrees, and run 24/7. The energy produced by the furnaces could be captured by a Tri-generation system to heat, cool, and even power the building. Because of the massive amount of energy produced energy and heat could be provided to surrounding buildings through a District Heating System. The two circulation cores of the building not only represent the two furnaces but they also contain most of the structure and mechanical systems for the apartments. A fluid floor plan is created through pushes for circulation and ventilation, the two circulation cores become objects with in this larger fluid form. Professor: Bradley Wales

correlation haiku house
Modular Single Family Home
The form of the house was designed through kirigami, which is a series of cuts and folds in paper to create a form. The poem “The Mending Wall” inspired the concept. The poem states “good fences make good neighbors” the idea behind this is the connection the wall creates between the neighbors. Although separating the two it still connects them. +4’

the living wall : fracture
Instillation at the Griffiths Sculpture Park
We started with a six by six by eight foot mass, with this we had to create a space which had three sleeping spaces, circulation space, and the minimum of one entrance.These programmatic necessities were developed through a series of three cuts and shifts.First the space was designed to have a clear sleeping area. The second move made was to create a circulation space with enough room to stand. The moves that I made broke up the mass into a very open circulation plan and individual sleeping areas.A tight entrance was made to create what seemed to be a larger interior space.

With just four weeks our study abroad group was asked to design and help construct a stone retaining wall for an outdoor class room that was already in construction on the campus. Our studio designed a feasible and environmentally friendly area that even began to expand upon the outdoor classroom.

hairatage trail
SCBG art instalation and bridge construction
In the summer of 2013 a historic storm came through Clemson S.C. and flooded the South Carolina Botanical Gardens. The flood took out all of the bridges along with many plants , wildlife, signs, and pathways. The Spring fluid studio was commisioned with rebuilding these bridges along with an art piece and signage for the re-opening of the Gardens in the summer of 2014. My team was tasked with the design of the art piece which was to be an interactive sculpture that reinacted the flood and taught people about the power of water. The summer leading up to the opening a few students and I were asked to stay in Clemson and build the structures we had designed.
