Project Description The project is a wood frame construction with brick, fiber cement panel, metal panel and metal accent channels on the exterior to house 4 townhouse and 4 apartment flat units. The building responds to its historic context through material and scale. It also acts as a threshold which weaves the larger scale buildings of downtown with the residential fabric of Bay Village. I was the Project Manager during the construction phase for this project. My responsibilities included extensive site visits to help coordinate with the General Contractor as well as the Sub Contractors, responding to RFI’s and submittals, writing and issuing meeting notes, coordinating with the project developers and issuing SK drawings.

Project Description Studio Luz was asked to design a new juice bar space for a local Boston juice company named Cocobeet. The project involved renovating an existing toy store space into the new juice bar and accompanying kitchen. The goal of the design was to employ the concept of a wrapper to unite the seating area, bar area and juice coolers together. The choice of colors and materials were meant to visually lighten the space without losing texture or warmth. I was a project designer for this project from Schematic Design through Construction Documents. My responsibilities included developing design concepts, generating several design layout options and compiling the final construction document set.

Project Description
This project started as a simple renovation of a couple spaces inside of an existing residence, and slowly grew into a complete tear-down and new construction project. The goal of this project was to develop a stronger relationship between the interior and exterior of the house, and to use contemporary materials inside of a historic neighborhood. I was the Project Designer for this project during the Construction Documents Phase. My responsibilities included developing construction details for complex building components, designing building envelope and mechanical system layouts, and compiling the final construction document set.

MASTER’S THESIS
rise to(o) run Rhode Island School of Design Graduate Thesis Project Providence, RI
RISD Thesis Advisor Jason Wood
In reality, the bourgeoisie has only one method of solving the housing question - that is to say, of solving it in such a way that the solution perpetually renews the question anew. This method is called “Haussman.” The result is always the same; the scandalous alleys disappear to the accompaniment of lavish self-praise by the bourgeoisie on account of a tremendous success, but they reappear immediately somewhere else... the breeding places of disease, infamous holes and cellars... are not abolished; they are merely shifted elsewhere. -Friedrich Engels (1872)
Project Description As a society, we have allowed it to become too easy to abandon. Whether it is the a Styrofoam cup from McDonald’s, our homeless living on the street, or the acres of housing decimated and left derelict in the streets of Detroit. It is too easy to let go. My thesis is an investigation into the visceral and psychological transformations and translations which allow us to abandon. Abandonment is a consequence of ownership, and ownership is a fabricated construct of fear. The final work is a construction of refuge and release. It is both path and space, an offering to those “others” the common spaces which have been privatized and removed by the Detroit Police and Capital. The path goes below the privatized streets to create shelter, into the Greektown Casino to offer refuge, and out the other side towards common space.

RE/CORD
DETROIT RE/CORD RISD Graduate Studies funded Research Project Detroit, MI
RISD Advisor Professor Carl Lostritto
Project Description Recording represents a search for and an investigation into the process of deriving tools for acting in difficult urban situations.
Detroit stands as one of the foremost case studies of Fordist cities in a post-industrial landscape. However, the same urban difficulty has produced something akin to the “proletarian position”: a reduction to a zero level, where the conditions of daily existence are exposed and open to evaluation. This research project, funded by a grant from the Department of Graduate Studies at RISD, aims to develop a set of operations and a methodology for dealing with an urban context that has experienced recession due to collapse. This project does not seek to “fix” Detroit, but rather to celebrate its estranged history and to learn from it.

The project extracts principles from 3 separate Detroit organizations: one dealing with urban farming, one with rebuilding businesses and one with rebuilding homes. These operations are iterated over each other, sometimes complimenting, sometimes conflicting, but always in a branching sequence which adds complexity with each step.

STEP 2
STEP 3
This analysis extracts principles form the business incubator organization discussed. The edges of buildings are projected into the context, searching for relationships, denoted by points, with other fragments. The distance required to complete the relationship is translated into a z-height, and a surface of relationships and proximities emerge.

EMPTINESS
IN SEARCH OF EMPTINESS Rhode Island School of Design Advanced Studio Providence, RI Spring Semester 2014 RISD Professor Professor - Silvia Acosta A collective learning and exhibition space for textiles in a post-industrial Providence “Architecture is the void ; it’s up to you to define it.” - Luigi Snozzi
Project Description
The project took the charge of defining emptiness, and sought to extract operations to unify disparate fragments of space into a collected whole. The operations were extracted through an analysis of chosen works by Eduardo Chillida and from site investigations. The operations were combined into an architectural armature to inform the final architecture, program and location. Providence has a rich history of production and making, including jewelry, smithing, and textiles. The site, coupled with an architecture dealing with projecting volumes and thickened frames, lent itself to a program of communal exhibition of textile arts. The final project is an architecture of “view finders.” The building locates one within the architecture and within the city. The projection of volumes and the suspension of frames become the formal drivers. The architecture physically connected across the river by a proposed public space and an adjoining bridge.

TWO-FACE
TWO-FACE SURFACE Rhode Island School of Design Independent Research Providence, RI Spring Semester 2015 RISD Advisors Professor - Eduardo Duarte Technician - James Dean Parametric experimentations in search of new, bilingual surfaces: structure and enclosure relationships.
Project Description
The surface is often conceptualized as an infinitesimally thin sheet of a single material and a single surface condition. My personal investigation employed Rhino, Grasshopper and Digital Fabrication Technologies to resist this convention, and think of the surface as an element which can expand and thicken. This thickening returns a face prepared for enclosure, and a face that grows for structure. The goal of the project was to develop a parametric logic which could divide a surface into planes and components which could be prepared and digitally fabricated using CNC Routing, Laser Cutting and 3D Printing. The final project developed a logic that was parametrically responsive to different ground conditions, surface bending tensions, structural depth proportions and light opportunities. The scale of the experiments ranged from conceptually designed pavilions to built light baffles.
