Hello!
My name is Carly, and I am in the first year of the M,Arch program at Arizona State University. I am interested in biophilic design and often draw inspiration from the elements, or things found in nature when conceptualizing my work. Having spent a good deal of time traveling and backpacking through different countries, I have found that people from all walks of life enjoy being immeresed in nature and as a designer I hope to bring that connection to the land into every thing that I produce.

AQUEOUS Located along the Rio Salado River in Phoenix, the site is owned by the Audubon center and is a wildlife rehabilitation area that seeks to restore the river to its former glory before settlers came in and obstructed the river’s natural flow. The nature center engages the community with a hands-on learning experience that allows visitors to partake in on-site gardening classes and guided nature walks along the river.

Project: Design Studio, Fall 2017 Program: Nature/Community Center Location: Phoenix, AZ
The grid for the project derived from observing watershed in the area and pin pointing spots of water access. Lines were drawn from these nodes to the site to form the grid. The form of the building mimics the changes in the site topography allowing water to flow down and around it into the neighboring Rio Salado river , facilitating the restoration process.
This drawing depicts the greater Phoenix area. Special attention was given to mapping out the existing canals and bodies of water found in the city. These areas are shaded black to emphasize their importance for this project. The dashed lines coming off the Rio Salado,in green, depict the canals the Hohokam natives dug and add historical context, as well as, laying the foundation to start forming a grid based off of areas where water collects.
(Left) We continue to follow the Rio Salado river, in green, in a zoomed in view of the site that shows its immediate surroundings. Now the grid is placed as an overlap to become the fondation of which will shape the building to allow optimal waterflow to the site. (Right) The building mimics the direction of the river and is formed specifically to let watershed roll off its walls and down into the river and rehabilitation area. The section below shows how the building would interact with the river by means of an outdoor platform .
ZEPHY R Located in the Little Italy district of San Diego, Zephyr serves as the community hub encompassing a WeWork, Mexican consulate, Cafe, and a daycare center. The design utilizes the yearround good weather with an open-air concept that allows the ocean breeze to permeate throughout the spaces and blur the lines between the built and natural environment. The atrium bounces light throughout the building and serves as a visual connection between the floors to strengthen the sense of community. The floorplates overlap each other in a way that lets Project: Design Studio, Fall 2019 users interact with each other Program: Mixed use/Commercial on various levels.

ILLUSTRIS Roden Crater is located roughly 30 miles outside of flagstaff and was forged by world-renowned artist, James Turrell. Turrell is known for his work that manipulates light and voids to create thought provoking spaces.

Project: Design Studio, Spring 2019 Program: Itinerant Housing Location: Flagstaff, AZ
Illustris is itinerant housing for visitors of Roden Crater and seeks to extend the thought provoking experience. The N building mimics the surroundings and was conceptualized as a series of planes that stretch out into the landscape. The rooms extend out from the central community space with a shared kitchen space, various lounging options and outdoor patio with a cut out in the roof of the overhang that pays homage to James Turrell’s skyspaces.

Day Looking out from the rim of Roden Crater, the horizon surrounds you. The world appears as series of planes interacting with one another and intersecting at various points. This notion was the inspiration behind this design. I viewed the design as a series of planes and sought to further explore how these planes would interact with one another to create a space that echoed the feeling of looking out at the vast landscape from Roden Craters rim.
Night The structure of the design would primarily be made of load bearing board form concrete with most of the glazing facing true south to utilize passive heating strategies throughout the seasons. The project features a central indoor/ outdoor community space with a skyspace, and upper deck observatory. The units each have operable skylights above the beds to stargaze and aid in cross ventilation. The proposed site would have views of Sunset Crater and Humphrey’s Peak.
T E R R A The Hortus Botanicus of Leiden is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands and one of the most influential gardens for progressing medicinal research with use of plants in the 15th century. The expansion would preserve flora from the Savanna biome which is threatened by climate change causing fires that devastate the land as well as illegal logging for many of the endangered plants that exist only in this biome.
WINTER GARDEN EXPANSION

Project: Design Studio, Fall 2020 Program: Location: Leiden, Netherlands
The atrium houses endangered trees such as the famed baobab. The procession up the spiral ramp mimics the trek from a low altitude in the African Savanna to a higher elevation starting with a walk through the tall grasses and cycads of the plains, next you see the innumerable flowers found at higher elevations before reaching the top to seeing the diverse medicinal plants this biome has to offer.

The Wintergarden Greenhouse was added in 2000 to store tropical and subtropical plants in the winter when temperatures outside dip too low for them to survive, as well as, housing alpine trees and carnivorous plants year-round. The building is a 40’x132’ rectangle and measures 44’ tall.
