august 2007 - may 2011

Moving through my first 4 years of architectural educations, I find myself drawn to interactions within architecture.

These interactions span scale and medium: the directionality of a screw, the users movement patterns through space, the variant character of a city, the translation between analog & digital design.

For me these relationships between materials, users, spaces &design processes are essential to creating multivalent architecture that performs functionally,

conceptually,

poetically.

A bike rental depot and apartment building that uses the bicycle as a catalyst for social change. The bicycle is propelled by the user and giving the user the potential to engage with their surroundings. This building is a hub of a larger community network for bicycle rental. The building—like the bicycle— is self sustaining and engaging.

Not a building, but a series of spaces, this project explores the tectonic joineries of materials and spaces.

This project focuses on the journey of moving through a space and instead of the destination.

The points of interest are experiential moments at thresholds between spaces: private v public interior v exterior grounded v elevated

THERMAL ACTIVITY

the French Broad River and an active railroad line border the site that is purposed to be developed as a residential area. However, a typical development, would be a denial of the unique qualities of the culture of Asheville, NC.

In addition to representing the masterplan of the site, this drawing displays the areas of high activity with the language of a thermal diagram.

These “hotspots� represent the collision of the four scapes on the site.

UNDERSTANDING COLLISIONS The site is isolated from the downtown area, but artists use the abandoned warehouses as studio spaces. To invigorate the site, the analog of converging continents represents the movement of different subcultures within the Asheville Area: farming, industry, recreation, and art.

A BBQ Restaurant that uses streetside architecure as a vehicle for engaging the customer in the laborious process of bbq preparation by blurring the line between kitchen and dining spaces.

By replacing unused asphalt with vegitation and permeable textures, the parking lot develops into habitabal zones that connect adjacent communities for increased pedestrian and bicycle movement.

TRAIN STATION form as a response to site

A light rail station in the center of Anderson, SC gives new life to a sputtering downtown area. Built around an existing train line that once provided this city with its livelihood will once again invigorate the area.

Driven by the vectors of the existing rails and shape of the adjacent buildings, this project attempts to blur the lines.

The tapering towers contain the building’s static programatic needs and act as circulation nodes. The movement through the sight wraps around the towers as a response to their position.
