Architecture has a direct impact on the given community and is the most signiďŹ cant part of the built environment. As the urban fabric of cities continues to advance, we as architects have a duty to design and build for the well being of humans and the earth. As students of the profession, it is our responsibility to use our education and talents to create new, innovative, and impactful designs that will last a lifetime. My inspiration and passion comes from my hometown, Chicago.

architecture as a gateway This is a residential, mixed-use project completed by myself and one other student. This design concept derives from the challenge of bridging the gap between Howard University and the surrounding neighborhood. There is a large sense of segregation between income levels, race, and overall living conditions. We have incorporated three different building programs in our proposal: retail tenants, an affordable housing program for students, and small market-rate units for young professionals. These programs will create a gateway for both neighborhoods, while setting a prime example for future development for the Georgia Avenue Corridor in Washington, DC. This proposal inspires a new form of housing that caters to the demographics of Georgia Avenue. Students and young professionals between the ages of 20-40, with over 75% never being married, populate both neighborhoods. By proposing an affordable housing program for students, cost of living will be reduced. The high crime rates will also be reduced as a result of more transparency and activating the alley in between the site and Cook Hall Dormitory to the east.

Our design also promotes sustainability and healthy living by incorporating accessible green roofs, a community market, outdoor space, and other community-based retail. The outdoor gathering spaces are designed with vibrant vegitation and outdoor seating that encourages guests to interact and enjoy their time outdoors. In addition to the outdoor spaces, the building material is made of a terracotta rain screen system thahelps to regulate the indoor air temperature and captures rain water. GREEN ROOF RENDERING

the woodlawn gateway pavilion
The prompt called for participants to develop a carbon-neutral, mixed-use, transit oriented development to be located at the 63rd Street Metra commuter rail station in Chicago, IL. The proposed facility should create a node of local services connecting the adjacent communities of the Woodlawn neighborhood and the new Barack Obama Presidential Center that will be located directly north-east of the site.

Woodlawn community
The Woodlawn Gateway Pavilion is a group project that was submitted for the 2018 annual National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) Design Competition. The group included 5 architecture students in their 4th or 5th year at Howard University.
Obama Center
Our approach begins with the community itself and recognizing its needs. Keeping this in mind, we have proposed a development centered on the concept of a ripple affect. When one drop of water crashes into a pond, it creates a ripple that travels throughout the entire body of water. The proposed Woodlawn Gateway Pavilion aims to embrace the Woodlawn community and inadvertently spreads the Woodlawn history and culture by means of modern program and design.

NIGHTLIFE & ENTERTAINMENT
TRANSPORTATION HUB END (SITE)
Along with the Woodlawn Gateway Pavilion Transit Station, we proposed the redevelopment of the entire 63rd Street corridor. In the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s, 63rd Street was a hub for black businesses, entertainment, night life, and much more. The current residents are seeking to transform the neighborhood and give it the same aesthetic that it once had. To do this, it makes sense to complete the corridor in three phases. Starting further west at 63rd and King Drive, will be the nightlife and entertainment district. This is where most of the bars and clubs currently exist, and there were even more in this area in the 40’s. Next will be the business district where residents will find grocery stores, retail, small parks, and new residential buildings. Lots will be filled based on the expressed needs of the current residents. Finally, our site will be the last stop along the corridor allowing residents to enjoy the programming within the site, take the shuttle to the Obama Center, or hop on the train to go north toward Downtown or south toward the suburbs.

smart growth initiatives We have incorporated a rainwater system that is intended to assist with irrigation on site and allow for waste water to be ďŹ ltered and recycled through the building.
PICP PAVEMENT
Transportation is a vital component for a thriving community. Public transportation provides access to and from the site and allows residents to experience more opportunities, resources, and amenities that may not have been offered otherwise. Aside from the existing CTA bus stops and train stations, we have implemented a shuttle service for our site that will connect the residents and visitors of Woodlawn and neighboring communities through the revitalize 63rd street corridor, to our Transit Center, and to the Barack Obama Presidential Center. The timeless and minimalist design of our Transit center along with our retail and other attractions will help increase ridership. The shuttle service will also increase activity along this commuter rail line as it provides a means of transport to each of the most popular nodes along Chicago’s South Side.

exploring art & community redevelopment
Bronzeville, a predominantly black neighborhood located on the near South Side of Chicago, is slowly but surely on the rise. While Bronzeville is experiencing rapid growth, it is not progressing as fast as other surrounding areas like the South Loop or Hyde Park. Bronzeville still holds several poorly funded elementary and middle schools where kids are lacking basic fundamental resources. Another issue plaguing the neighborhood is the abundance of vacancies. The idea of the Margaret Studios is to utilize a vacant property and turn it into a place that provides the underserved children and the community with a creative arts resource; one that they otherwise would not have. This previously vacant elementary school that sits on the corner of 51st and State St., will be a center for visual arts that will encompass three main ideas: Art & Entrepreneurship, a Visual Art Experience, and Art Education. The intention and goal of Margaret Studios is to help redevlop and revitalize the Bronzeville community; A community very rich in Black History. The 1950’s was an era of creative and artistic elite that thrived from the vitality of their community-driven neighborhood. This project aims to take steps in the right direction toward the rebirth of the “Black Metropolis�.

She is also credited with the founding of the South Side Community Art Center in 1941 and Chicago’s Lake Meadows Art Fair in the early 1950s. After a brief hiatus beginning in the early 1980s, the fair was resurrected in 2005. With the creation of Margaret Studios, another of Margaret Burroughs’ legacies lives on.

an artist s retreat The goal of Envisage Artist Retreat is to attract newly found artists, seeking to gain inspiration through nature. Located in Washington, DC, a rigid city that can often times distract visual artists with its busy streets, Colonial style buildings, and overly formal activities, Envisage will create spaces that allow the artists to take a step back from the city, and harbor their creativity in an environment that may not always encourage it.

The center is designed to allow participants to share common experiences with fellow artists and to encourage the exchange of ideas and work. While the center creates several collaborative spaces, the major focus of this retreat is to allow private time for individual work and introspection. The retreat aims to create contemplative and inspiration spaces that allow the artists to focus on nurturing their creativity and “Envisage� a future of nature inspired art.

The concept of our design comes from the elements of the earth: Water, air, ďŹ re, and earth itself. The building is an old power plant that once used a very considerable amount of energy that was harmful to the environment. Our idea behind the concept was to create a building that does just the opposite. The tree is the main central component of the design, in which everything else is centered around. Each room represents a different element and is shown through the design of the spaces.

Campus Canvas is a celebration of artistic expression and creativity inspired by the street art of Washington DC. Aside from being the capital of the United States, Washington, DC is known for its diversity, rich culture and deeply rooted history, all of which are showcased over various mediums throughout the city. The contemporary, ever changing nature of street art creates an environment that is engaging and interesting to visitors of the city. It gives them something to look at and think about as they go about their day. Campus Canvas will transform building facades and other installations around Howard University into a canvas for expression with the use of smart glass technology. Guests will be able to directly influence the campus as they create their own original street art through digital painting. This outlet for artistic expression will transform the atmosphere of the campus from one that is bland and monotonous to one that is bold and dynamic. It embraces the tradition of the university while also emphasizing the importance of ‘now’ by utilizing the school’s existing buildings to create a new art form.

The project was conceived by the Howard University Team and created for the 2017 Walt Disney Imagineering’s Imaginations Design Competition. This project is the sole property of Walt Disney Imagineering and all rights to use these ideas are exclusive to Walt Disney Imagineering. The competition is a way for students and recent graduates to showcase their talents and for Walt Disney Imagineering to identify new talent.

Guest will acquire a digital spray can from a charging station on campus. They approach the smart glass, choose a color, and spray! An infrared LED located on the nozzle emits light that is reflected off the glass and into a sensor. The sensor uses this information to communicate with the smart glass as to precisely where and of what color paint should appear. The can expels a colored mist that gives the feeling of real spray without actually leaving any pigment on the glass to provide an authentic street art experience.
CIRCULATION MODE
INTERACTIVE MODE
Circulation mode creates a dynamic path that serves as a gallery, allowing guests to create and observe the art while traveling about campus.
Interactive mode allows guests to become fully immersed in their art. Guests will have the ability to walk around and through the angular structure allowing the artist to paint from any position.
