Community Center
The community center for Muncie, built on the corner of Tillotson and Jackson, will allow residents of all ages to have a place to learn and spend time. It services a variety of people across all ages, and so has spaces designated for each general age group to occupy, but it also opens up these spaces so that all of the people within can learn and play together. This can help bridge the gap between generations that might exist elsewhere, because our generations have become separated based on culture and technology. This building will help to blur these lines and bridge the gap between ages to allow people of all ages to interact with each other and learn about each other. This can be seen as the elements from the front faรงade seem to blur as they retreat farther within the site and by using a common space in the middle of the building that the sub spaces around it open to so that it becomes a mixing area for uses. The program also allows people to flow back and forth from the bottom floor to the outdoor courtyard, so that everyone has time to be outside. This will be done mostly through connecting the main recreation space to the outside, allowing everyone to play or exercise either indoors or outdoors. Finally, the center must connect to the street corner. Located on a busy intersection, the connection here is essential to draw in people of all ages. This, along with the project requirements, will drive the design. Project completed in November, 2010.

Sante Fe House
Designed as an infill house in a small urban setting, this condominium was created for a young couple to be close to the city. The main form of the house seems to fold over the lower stories and around the upper bedroom area. This concept of folding is what drives the design of the building. The s-shape wall that weaves through the building also houses the mechanical equipment necessary for the home to run. This allows easy access to upgrade or service these systems while still allowing them to be adjacent to each room. The tight quarters forced the design to move upwards and large glass openings allow for maximum sunlight. This natural lighting helps to open up the interior spaces and reduces the lighting load. In addition, since most of these windows are operable, it allows for easy cross breezes to passively cool the space and reduce this load as well. Project Completed in March, 2011.
ICMA Competition
Every year, the Indiana Concrete and Masonry Association hosts a competition for second year students to design a project using primarily masonry units. This competitions program involved the creation of a cultural museum in downtown Indianapolis that celebrates Indiana culture and history. The site was located just west of the heart of Indianapolis near the IUPUI campus and the White River. This entry used module units for the exhibit space, which was inspired from a unit of masonry. These exhibits were then curved to follow the flow of the river immediately south of the site and were split by a long arcade, that would allow indoor vendors a place to sell goods and a corridor that local residents could pass through. Daylighting and passive cooling also had an influence on the design, primarily dictating the height of the structure. Project completed in May, 2011.

Thermal Kinetics Work Experience
Thermal Kinetics is a small company based in Bolingbrook Illinois and specializes in the design and production of sand dryers for the silica industry. These large industrial machines use intensely heated air to dry sand that is then used to make glass, for the oil industry, or other various uses. These drawings represent over layouts of the machinery for one project, as well as some of the details that were produced. In addition to these drawings, there were numerous shop drawings that were created as well as I worked closely with the fabricators on the shop floor to ensure accuracy for the final product. In addition to this work in AutoCad, I also worked closely with the owner on assisting in the running of the business itself. This primarily meant purchasing materials, recording transactions, and shipping out pieces to the customers. In order to do this, I had to work with the customers and engineers so as to make sure they received the correct product. Work completed in Summer, 2011.
Solar Decathlon
The U.S. Department of Energy sponsors an international competition every 2 years during which teams from around the globe build houses entirely run on solar power. These houses are brought to Washington, D.C. to compete head-to-head for a range of prizes. Cardinal Manor is a design proposal for the collaboration between Ball State University and University of Louisville. Inspired by Indiana’s landscape and rich history, Cardinal Manor is a house that truly belongs in any Indiana neighborhood. Designed for young families, it allows for a variety of users and can host a variety of events. By keeping living spaces and private spaces grouped together, it also allows for privacy or the ability to open the entire house up. The wet trombe wall system allows for the capability to use passive heating with the added ability of turning this feature off as well. This can save energy, as it can either have thermal mass or not have it. The materials were inspired by Indiana, using limestone for the veneer as it is a part of Indiana history. The rain screen compliments this well, as wood siding is the traditional finish in Indiana. All of this, combined with the photovoltaic panels that allow Cardinal Manor to produce all of its energy needs makes this house truly unique, and well suited for Indiana. Work completed in December, 2011.

Estopinal Competition
The Estopinal Group Competition was the final project of third year for all students at Ball State. In addition, it was also the only full semester long project undertaken as undergraduate students. The site was located on Georgia Street in downtown Indianapolis, which was one of the major challenges presented by this project. The other major challenge was the program, with both a culinary school and boutique hotel required on the small site. Because of the large area required and the small site, the only option was to build upwards. In this project, the culinary school was on the first two floors with the hotel located above. The building utilized passive systems to reduce the load on the HVAC system and save energy costs. Another key element was the transparent media facade facing Georgia Street. Seen in the rendering above, this system allows for images and videos to be displayed over the screen allowing the street to host concerts, tailgating, and other events. Work completed May, 2012.

Cripe Competition
The Cripe Competition was the final competition at Ball State for undergraduates and lasted only half a semester. This competition was completed as a pair, and was also the only significant project in undergraduate school completed with anyone else. The site was in the harbor of Charleston, on Schutes Folly Island. On this island, which is primarily coastal marsh, is Castle Pickney that was built prior to the Civil War to help protect the area from attacks from the sea. While the castle saw no action during the war, it did host prisoners of war. Because of this, a memorial was built to all prisoners of war and those who are still missing in action. This memorial sits on the curved axis that runs the length of the island and connects the castle and welcome center with the rental facility and belvedere. Arriving on the island at the castle, there is a welcome center to greet guests and a small cafe. Traveling along the boardwalk, which also follows the curved axis, brings guests to the rental facility first, which allows them to rent canoes and kayaks. The final stop is the belvedere at the north end of the island, which offers views of the harbor and city of Charleston to visitors. The site is entirely powered by solar and wave collection and has facilities to treat its own wastewater, making it completely independent. Work completed in December, 2012.
