BEECHVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER Located at Broadway and Belasco Avenues in Beechview, this new mixed-use building reconnects the urban fabric and ties together an existing cluster of public uses. The project transforms a steep section of the Belasco Avenue right-of-way into a new building with a ZLYPLZ VM W\ISPJ VWLU ZWHJLZ HUK H YLJVUĂ„N\YLK public staircase. Today this section of Belasco is a dilapidated staircase connecting the light rail stop, school, church and library, with residential sections of the neighborhood below. The new building weaves both residential and community programs around an enhanced stair connection to complement and celebrate the existing public facilities and transform this key link in the neighborhood. Uses for the building were selected based on a survey of existing uses and activities along Broadway Avenue and their users. As part of the design process local residents were interviewed to gage what they wanted and thought was missing in their neighborhood. Based on this investigation the building was designed to include a restaurant, gym and yoga studio, residences, and theater. In addition a residential component will ensure a constant stream of people, make [OL WYVQLJ[ TVYL LJVUVTPJHSS` MLHZPISL HUK Ă„SS H gap in the current available housing market for studios and 1-bedroom units.

The project also improves the surrounding streetscape on Broadway Avenue and enhances existing trails and park spaces on the hillside below. Ultimately the project seeks to transform the Belasco corridor into a vessel of integrated collective life by connecting and collecting people and activities on a small but catalytic site in the neighborhood. I worked on this project with my friend and colleague, Adriel Deller.
JFK TERMINAL 4 EXTENSION
Aerial View
This extension of Delta’s Terminal 4 concourse at JFK International Airport in New York City, New York is inspired by the works of Eero Saarinen ZWLJPÄJHSS` [OL ULHYI` ;>( ;LYTPUHS HUK 40;Z Kresge Theatre) and Felix Candela. The terminal is comprised of 8 mirrored, identical modules, each of which is shaped to allow diffused, Northern sun in at all times more solar radiation in the winter. The jogged form offers naturally daylit gate lounges.
View from Skyway
The integrated concrete columns act as structural support and carry all systems, including electrical, HVAC, rainwater collection, and water. The roof is lined with 1400 southern-facing solar panels, which generate enough electricity for all secondary systems. The panels lay atop a closed-loop glycol system, which heat exchanges with the aquifertapping cooling system to keep the panels at VW[PTHS LMĂ„JPLU^J` HUK [LTWLYH[\YL

AALTO UNIVERSITY 2015 CAMPUS PLAN The Aalto Campus 2015 competition strives to “[interweave] a natural way and create the foundation for a university city of the future� by the year 2015. I designed this entry to the competition with my colleague Matthias Neumann and several others at Ethelind Coblin Architect in New York City while working as an intern designer during the summer of 2012. Our entry focuses on the creation of a new Arts building for a recently recombined Aalto University in Otaniemi, Finland, near Helsinki. Our main goal is interconnectivity between the seemingly disparate campus buildings completed between the 1950s through the 2010s. The original plan and former main building of the existing Otaniemi campus, as well as several others, were designed by Finnish architect and university namesake Alvar Aalto. I shared design responsibility and produced all imagery and 3D models for this entry in Rhinoceros and Photoshop, respectively. I also used GIS and Revit to design an accurate site model digitally.

URBAN DESIGN/BUILD HOUSE
The Urban Design/Build House, affectionately known as the Shotgun house, is designed as a low-cost, innovative, green, and mass-producible housing \UP[ PU .HYÄLSK ULHY 7P[[ZI\YNO 7LUUZ`S]HUPH >L KL]LSVWLK H ¸:OV[N\U¹ Z[`SL OV\ZL ¶ H OVTL that is long and narrow, measuring 16 feet wide and 80 feet long.

LOBBY
Greensburg Digital Media Center: a place to learn and work. Greensburg is a small city southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The town center is in need of revitalization, which can most practically be achieved through investment in attracting nearby Seton Hill students to the city. The Greensburg Digital Media Center will programmatically and architecturally act as a beacon and draw students and citizens alike to learn or enhance valuable and practical skills in computing and manipulating digital media. The center also encourages seniors of the nearby Penn Towers Retirement Facility to easily navigate a series of circulatory ramps and accessible classrooms that demystify modern technology.

RAPID PROTOTYPE LAMPS
Over the course of my time at Carnegie Mellon University, I have learned to design and build furniture using the Digital Fabrication lab. I sketch my design, model it in Rhinoceros, and then use RhinoCAM or VisualCAM to mill it on out CNC router. The lamp above was commissioned by a friend and inspired by the works of Alvar Aalto and 1940s stylistic sensibilities. The lamp at middle was inspired by a visit to an antiques shop in Nashville, Tennessee. It is the physical manifestation of my fascination with the both the Art Deco style and the time period that influenced it. The lamp at right was a rapid prototyping test, which went from idea to reality in 18 hours.
RAPID PROTOTYPE FURNITURE
I also work on full sized furniture. The table at left is a completely friction-fit, CNC milled table based on Scandanavian stave church construction. It’s design accomdates a PC, speakers, a projector, and, of course, a Nintento 64 gaming console. The item on the right is a system of modular wedges that become chairs, shelves, or a table depending on how they are assembled, and have proved immensely popular at parties. Both pieces are milled from 3/4� Baltic Birch plywood.
TIERED NIGHTSTAND (IN PROGRESS)
This is the last piece I worked on during my time at Carnegie Mellon. I designed, milled and built it in a marathon 24 hour period, but due to a lack of material, I still have yet to finish it. The design is in part fluenced by the naturalistic forms of Googie style combined with the the stark, minimalistic lines of mid-century modern. The body of the table (already milled) was an experiement to see what I could do with laminated plywood and how it would react to being milled at acute angles.
