AEROPONIC APERTURES GREENHOUSE. APERTURE. MEATPACKING. 3RD YEAR | FALL 2016
The design for the top two floors of Renzo Piano’s Whitney Museum is based around the concept of the aperture, taking inspiration from its ability to direct light and its own ability to transform itself from nearly closed to all the way open. The notion of letting light in through openings is utilized with various skylights and openings seen throughout the two floors, most notably within a series of three aeroponic gardens seen in the main two exhibit areas. The openings get gradually smaller as one traverses through the gardens and tapers to a framed view of the meatpacking district. The botanical research center focuses on three main studies of aeroponic growth: sustenance, medicinal uses, and aesthetic species. The space includes dedicated research areas, dedicated growth areas, and dedicated herbarium displays for the three studies.

HAMMOND RESIDENCE ORGANIZED/DISORGANIZED. CRAFTSMAN. FAMILY MAN. 2ND YEAR | SPRING 2016
Jeremy Hammond, woodshop supervisor at the Art + Architecture Building at the University of Tennessee, is the single father of two children and a local craftsman. Hammond describes himself as a disorganized person, but he aspires to be more organized. He currently lives in Knoxville, but prior to this, he resided in New York City for fifteen years. The site is located at 1300 Cherokee Boulevard, about ten minutes from UT’s campus in Sequoyah Hills.

CYMATICS AUTISM. MUSIC. AUDITORY MODULATION. 3RD YEAR | SPRING 2016
Sound interacts with objects in three ways: it passes through the material completely, is absorbed by the material, or is reflected by the material. The design for this space, located on Cumberland’s Evolve building, heavily uses these three performative aspects in tandem with the needs of autistic children as a user group. The use of music is a wellknown, theraputic treatment for those with autism. Music has been known to reduce anxiety, increase speech output, and increase interaction with the autistic person’s peers. The program for this music center accommodates for their needs with the usage of curvelinear elements, tall ceilings, a performance/ classroom center, theraputic pods, learning areas, and research terminals.

PILKINGTON OPTIPHON No matter where it originates, from railways, aircraft or factories, noise is all around. Future trend research suggests that traffic and noise in general will only get worse. The careful and considered selection of glass can be crucial in helping to reduce noise level and meet noise requirements.

MULTIMEDIA The following are selected compositions that reflectmy appreciation of culture and diversity. They are inspired by the dynamicism of life and its synergy with its environment. The following photography taken in Japan and New York City capture and celebrate the handful of quiet moments had during these expeditions. The graphite drawings were created during my first year and embrace negative space, anthropmorphics, and dynamicism in compositions.
