1Rhythmic Peace Pavilion
This Pavilion is a place to wind down, take a step back, and relax while encountering the peace within the woods. As you move through the pavilion it will feel as if you’re flowing through the wind. The materials gathered to create this pavilion consists of concrete, wood, and glass. In using these materials, it gives this pavilion a clean, and simple look. This de sign is strictly to accommodate the site of the woods. It is meant to be submerged within the woods to feel as one. With careful thought and much consideration, the building flows one to walk along a certain direction rhythmically.

Light plays an important role when it comes to a specific space. It helps show the unique shadows that you can’t see within your design. Not only does light cast shadows, it gives the opportunity for the sun to brighten a room naturally.
The use of leading lines leaves one intrigued on what comes beyond the lines. With the repetition of lines throughout the pavilion it creates a rhythm of flow as you walk through the space. In doing so, it creates a simple, yet effective pattern.
Moving in the space, you’ll encounter being immersed within the woods given the choice of being outdoors or indoors. In creating this pavilion to use both exterior and interior, it allows one to experience the peace of wind while enjoying the view.

Rooftop Pavilion
The site given to design the rooftop pavilion is the green roof deck outside the SAID Materials Library on the 8th floor of the DAAP Building. The major focus of the pavilion design was to consider the activities, and the site along with movement, circulation, and threshold moments.
I wanted to focus on a design where the pavilion would be integrated within the materials library. I wanted the pavilion to not feel separate from the building, but to feel as if it was always meant to be there. Through a long rigorous thought process, I created a design for faculty and students to relax and take a step away from work and enjoy the site.

MODULAR UNIT
The task given was to build a modular unit that could connect to form a wall. Rather than finding inspiration from an unfamiliar building, we built off of a students iteration derived from a natural object. My group decided to continue the child theme given from that iteration. We wanted to push ourselves to where not only is it a unit for a wall, but a unit you can utilize. Through many iterations of our own, we came to a conclusion of wanting to keep the spherical shape. Through the long process of getting our final design, we ended up with a complex, yet simple, and elegant design.

EXECUTION
In order to get the desired look of our model, we needed to create a mold that will bend our plywood into the shape we have chosen. The material gathered for the mold was MDF. As a group we figured out the measurements necessary so that we could properly bend our wood.

4Inhabitating the Painting
Working from an abstracted painting, I generated a series of 2-D studies that led to an implied 3-D space. Given the painting, Thira by Brice Martin, I needed to imply depth and spatial relationships using line weight variations. During the process of creating various iterations, I saw the painting as if it were a plan, a section, and an elevation. I then started to think of how the air would circulate through the building. Once I had a base of how the circulation would work, I explored in rhino on how I would like this building to form. With much thought, I created a complex, yet implied occupiable space from a 2-D painting.
