PROTO-MODULAR VARIANCES First semester of third year the project was a renovation of the seventh and eighth floors of the new Whitney Museum in New York City to be a botanical research center. The center was to include exhibit space for visitors as well as office space for workers. The design responds to the prompt by delivering a space that divides open office space and open exhibit space, allowing for privacy of office workers and exploration for the visiting public. The herbarium is part of the public space, with a system of pods nestled in a transparent wall, as seen above. The public may interact with the pods, though the more sensitive seeds are locked for scientists’ use only. The project added an outdoor garden for seasonal plants.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF MY HELMET Second semester of second year we began with studies of different crafts and artisans. I was assigned a metalworker named Jeremy who used to do more metalwork, but now mostly focuses in woodworking. He expressed a desire for “lots of cool crap” and separation between living and working spaces for cleanliness. Metalworking is not a clean and tidy process and there is a lot of dust produced. This design addresses that problem by sealing the home space away inside a glass box above the metalshop. A ramp (not pictured here) snakes it’s way from the first to the econd floor, allowing Jeremy to clean up and leave his dirt and debris from a workday on the ramp and in the shop.

An additional separate entrance on the second floor allows his family to enter through the building without tramping through the workspace.

COMMUNITY GREEN SPACE ON THE EDGE OF DOWNTOWN KNOXVILLE First semester of second year our project brief was a restaurant for food trucks.

Rather than a traditional restaurant with a kitchen in the back, this space has an area for food trucks to pull into and park with eating and play zones. Demographic research showed that there are many families in the area with very few family friendly restaurants or green space. This design provided an answer, providing grass and vines that are lit by skylights above. Children may play freely while their parents supervise in a secure and comfortable community location.

ROMA [re]VISITED

These photos were taken on an iphone 6 during a study abroad trip to Italy. The trip included Rome, Venice, and Florence. The trip was focused on quick photography and sketching, using a shared Instragram as a way to share in each other’s personal experience of the day.
