MOUNDS STATE PARK
EDUCATIONAL & GALLERY SPACE For this project I was asked to design an educational and gallery space for Mounds State Park (3000 sq. ft). The project was a continuation of our aperture + veil studies as well as our solid modeling experiments. My project concept was based on tectonic moves , shifts in the landscape, and framing important views into the landscape. My project attempts to sit gracefully into the landscape blurring boundaries between ground and sky. The programing of the building included the following:

aVOIDING SOLID / SOLID VOID BOOLEAN OPERATIONS EXERCISE
Working in Rhino, the assignment required us to start with a rectangular volume of 6” x 3.5”x 3.5”. The assignment required us to worked with syntax (rules) and semantics (meanings) to generate architectural effects. The boolean operation process required us to have a minimum of 40% solid surface. Additionally, all six (6) sides of the volumes had to have voids. Adding and subtracting out my personal aesthetic, the final objects accepts and transforms sun/moon light. Below are the (3) boolean operations systems included in the process:
INFO
1. Solid objects (Boxes, ellipsoids, etc.) 2. Surfaces (Using some type of cutting plane/surface) 3. Grids (Cartesian mapping)

CONCORD BUILDING
MAPLE CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION At the center of the Midtown area is Maple Crossing and a 84-year-old building named The Concord. At the northwest corner of 38th & Illinois St., this 10,000 square-foot building has been the talk of the neighborhood for years. In the past, the building was home to a cigar shop, drug store, restaurant and residential apartments. This was so up until, Midtown Indy purchased the building in 2016, it had been largely vacant for more than two decades leaving the two-story space neglected and in need of restoration.
INFO
A series of public listening sessions were organized to redetermine the community’s vision for the space. Since the spring of 2017, I have worked alongside Midtown Indy to bring this historic building back to life. My role in the schematic design was to participate in on client meetings, make physical 3D models, help develop digital models and produce construction documents.

CITY OF CARMEL RIVER ROAD - PHASE II LANDSCAPE & ROUND-ABOUT ENHANCEMENTS
This landscape and round-about enhancement project, in the City of Carmel, involved the completion of a new round-about intersection along River Road and Cherry Creek Blvd. The project was part of a three year concentrated infrastructure improvement program that started in 2016.
INFO
The completion of the project will result in better storm water management and drainage improvements not only in this intersection but throughout the City. My inputs to the design team included creative design solutions for the landscape design and engineering of the round-about; which were later distributed to consultants and City leaders. Additionally, my work included the development of illustrated streetscape options for the client, as well as final construction and detail plans for INDOT permitting. The final design included street trees, ground plane landscape and a masonry retaining wall at the center of the roundabout.

CLEVELAND AKRON & COLUMBUS (CA&C)
RAIL DEPOT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATION The Edsall & Associates LLC team was hired by the City of Mount Vernon as part of the Surface Water Improvement Fund through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, to prepare the design and construction documents. The site is an existing parking area adjacent to the recently renovated CA&C railway depot. As one of the project designers, I was involved in all aspects of planning design and construction documentation. The project’s design reduced the overall amount of runoff from the impervious parking area by promoting infiltration, detaining excess stormwater so that it could be released at a slower rate, and improved the water quality of runoff that eventually reaches the nearby Kokosing State Scenic River. My contributions to the stormwater treatment train also included best management practices involving turf areas, bioretention/ infiltration swales and rain gardens planted with native vegetation.

CERAMICS 101
FROM ARCHITECTURE TO CLAY Clay is one of the most universal materials known to humans. Civilizations from all over the world have used it to make art as well as functional objects. My ceramic work is a fusion of art shapes, lines, and forms highly influenced by my background in Architecture. Creating ceramic pieces, supplements my creativity and allows me to express my imagination using a new media. I use the flexibility of clay as an opportunity to create fluid design narratives.

TABLE #1
MY NEW CANVAS My journey in metalworking and woodworking began with my involvement with Ruckus Maker Space, a local business incubator. As a ‘Resident Maker’ in the shared space, I participated with the Latina Welding Guild, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to empower women professionally, creatively, and economically through welding. My ongoing participation with the guild has provided me with advance welding skills and has sparked my curiosity in furniture designs that incorporate Architecture fundamentals. It encourages me to see furniture as more than a functional and commercial piece.

TABLE #2
RECLAIMED TABLE The “Reclaimed Table”, was designed using a rare piece of wood salvaged from a 1960’s Indiana High School (Arlington High School). Once used by the design studio w/purpose, for a series of unique and custom architectural installations, I was able to come across the remains of a salvaged Longfleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) wood.
INFO
I was inspired by its strength, colors, and durability of the material and designed a bookshelf. The “Reclaimed Table’s” primary design method included wood and metal. The versatility found in metal welding plus the addition of the Longleaf wood makes for a minimalistic and functional piece of furniture. Recycling in design projects is not a new concept but by choosing reclaimed materials for my furniture design projects, I can obtain high quality materials as well as become more environmentally conscious.
