Museum & Design School Senior Studio, Fall 2013 Professor: Zach Snyder 15 Week Project
6
This project, located in Puerto Madero, Argentina, had two very different programs. A public museum dedicated to showing the history of the city, and an architecture school, associated with the university just south of the site. Finding a way to balance the two programs together as well as pull people into the site was my initial goals.
I first raised the museum off of the ground, on top of the school that was inserted into the landscape. This creates a monumental entry to the museum through the landscape. By embedding the school in the landscape, I am able to further control lighting conditions and help define where classrooms, labs, and workshops can go. I also used this to create a hard edge on the street side to force people into the revitalized waterfront. The studio space is a large volume that crashes into the galleries causing a disruption. This in turn allows for sectional relationships between the museum and school.

CCAD MASTER PLAN Junior Studio, Spring 2013 Professor: Rob Livesey 15 Week Project
16
This one million square foot master plan is for an expansion of the Columbus College of Art and Design. Heavy traffic, aging buildings, and the shift away from a commuter campus are all issues brought up after talking to the president and architect of the campus. Being pinched between the two main roads Broad and Long, outward expansion is nearly impossible.
On the same block is the Columbus Museum of Art, and a church that could not be ignored. I started out by consolidating all of the academic program space into one large floating bar that then organizes the rest of the program. This bar is set up in “pods” that consist of classrooms, offices, and studios. Studio spaces are double height that are overlooked by the faculty offices on the second floor. The roof of the bar contains special program such as the masters program, library, and exhibition spaces. With different ways of
connecting to the ground, whether it is an existing building or built up landscaping, this makes for unique entrance to the bar. The next issue that I addressed was the lack of a campus “front door.” Using the iconic, ninety foot art sign, I created a central plaza that is fronted by the academic bar, housing, administration and student life. This becomes the heart of the campus and a destination for students. With access to parking, it also is a scenic entry to church and museum visitors.

The current campus is very urban and has little to no green space. My goal was to enhance the campus area by connecting the campus, church and museum with a continuous park. The park reaches all the way from Long street to the campus entrance, as a pocket park, on Broad street. This green space includes sculpture gardens, mounds, and open land so it can be used for many different functions. Connectivity to the art museum was also extremely important. I wanted it to
almost become one with the campus. The main entrance faces away from Broad Street and into campus. I created a connection to the landscaped hill, through the reflecting pool and to the sculpture garden of the museum. The drop off and parking for the museum is also the same for the campus, unifying the two as one. Housing for students is located on the west side of campus. This location provides immediate access to administration, the academic bar, student life, and the green spaces of campus.

CWRU MEDICAL LIBRARY Junior Studio, Fall 2012 Professor: Jackie Gargus 5 Week Project This medical library is located on a corner site on the Case Western Reserve campus on the outer perimeter of Wade Park, the central green space. In addition to the stacks, a classroom or small auditorium was required in the program.
26
The nearby buildings were very object-like that were setback from the street. I decided to split the program up into two functions, normative (bar) and special (object). The ramps and offices were then placed into the bar while the reading room and auditorium became the object.
29
The interaction of the two forms creates the entry to the library and forces you into the lobby with the figural staircase. This is also the beginning of the procession up the ramps and into the book stacks. The reading room is oriented so the nearby park is in view. This, as well as the roof terrace plugs into the ramps and becomes a destination of the procession.

BOSTON MARITIME MUSEUM Sophomore Studio, Winter 2012 Professor: Addison Godel 5 Week Project
32
This museum is on a corner site facing the Bunker Hill Monument Park in Boston. Display space, a small cafe, and office space was required for the project. The nearby buildings had many different scales as some were housing and some were businesses. This, and the sloping section of the street made it very difficult to make this museum fit in to the surrounding context.
In a few strategic moves I was able to provide a shaded seating area for the cafe, and wrap the corner to pull people into the museum using a curtain-like entrance. The skin itself pulls into the building and gives structure to the staircase, forms display cases and acts as seating for the cafe. The lobby as well as the main exhibition space is located in the front and provides great views of the park and the monument.

A large model ship was planned to be on display as the featured exhibit. I wanted this model to be the final destination of the procession through the building. After being pulled into the building, the double height lobby pushes you up the curved staircase where some views can be seen of the ship. This will lead you to the main display room. The final public floor contains the ship that will be illuminated by natural light. Great views of the Bunker Hill Monument can be seen from this vantage point.

SHOE STORE BOUTIQUE Sophomore Studio, Fall 2011 Professor: Ben Wilke 5 Week Project
38
The site for this project is located in downtown Columbus, Ohio on busy High Street. We were to design the outer 8 feet of a double high corner site. On top of our skinning project is the factory for the shoe store. The long side of the site is adjacent to an ally only accessible to pedestrians. Using these 8 feet were very critical because every move had to be strategically made to make the most out of the space and design.
Forcing circulation into and out of the building was one of my initial goals. I did this by creating a second skin on the inside that would bring customers along the exterior skin where displays would be located for the new shoe designs. The elevated walkway gives the customer a sense of importance as they proceed through. After this they are dropped off at the back of the store and forced to circulate back through the rest of the shopping area.

European Experience Abroad 5 Week Trip Summer 2012 Professor: Jackie Gargus Finland, Sweden, Denmark, England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic
42
This annual trip covered many countries at a very high pace. Visiting buildings, discussions, sketching, sightseeing and learning about the culture was on the schedule everyday. After the official trip was concluded, I traveled to Prague to do further studies independently. This experience has greatly benefited my knowledge of architecture as well as the cultures of Europe.
