Prairie Burn Station at The Univerity of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI (Fall 2010) Architecture 3210: Design Studio 2
Professor: Salim Elwazani
Duration: 4 Weeks The concept for this project was based on winds relation to controlled burning. Through creating one continuous roof and wall contours wind can be channeled into the prarire with mininmal restriction.. The funnel inspiired entry also allows for maximamum cross ventilation through the station itself.

Cranbrook School of Architecture (Bloommeld Hills, MI) Fall 2010 Architecture 3210: Design Studio 2
Plan
Professor: Salim Elwazani
Duration: 12 Weeks This project is about role playing exemplified by the theatre as a metaphor. As certain roles are played within the theatre, those too are played within understanding the educational environment. Within architectural education, the understanding of design is dependent upon interaction. Roles played in the project consist of the observer, the ones being observed, and the ones structuring the entertainment.

Urban Infill (Chicago, IL) Spring 2009
Architecture 2202: Architectural Design II:
Professor: Mark Pearson
Duration: 12 Weeks The design challenge for this project is a gallery, studio and residence to be located in the river north gallery district. The building will serve as a model for urban living in the 21st century, providing public gallery spaces, private work studio spaces, and a living space for a visiting artist all in the same structure. Establishing a design theory was dependant upon a piece of artwork located in the Chicagoland area. The challange was in developing a piece of architecture remanicent of concepts found in our speciied piece of art.
In “Troy Diptych” the photographs fade periodically from left to right both in resolution and color. Throughout the progression the pictures are smudged, smeared and finally towards the end missing all together, subliminally speaking the loudest. The man in the photograph is Troy Donahue, a movie star of the early 1960’s. The lifestyle of the community is such that art and design are of the highest priority. This piece forces people to recognize that cultures priorities have change very little over the past 40 years making this piece as relavant toady as it was when created.

Part of the Visitor Pavilion Design Process was to Evaluate Our Structure and Brainstorm Structural Connections. We Were to Design a Detail Model, and Make a Section and Plan for the Solution. Using W18 Steel I- Beams I felt that a Connection Beam from Column to Column Would be the Most Rational Solution. There for Forceing the Layout for the Cross Beams to Force a Continuous Horizontal Aesthtic.
