Tucson, AZ
This project is a church campus that serves the local Unitarian congregation. It consists of a sanctuary space, assembly hall, education center, and nature chapel all designed with the intention of leaving as little footprint on the site as possible after the construction. The concept follows the idea of taking the desert surface, folding it up and burrowing below it, preserving the ability for vegetation and natural elements to reside on the ground plane above the building. The project uses only passive environmental control systems to emphasize sustainability and land ethic. 4

Tucson, AZ
This is a proposed design for the expansion of the Modern Streetcar route in Tucson, AZ. It is a station with 3000sf of covered waiting area that protects passengers from the harsh desert sun and other environmental factors. The design focuses on the tectonics of how a large, lightweight concrete shading structure meets the ground. The shade canopy is to be sand-cast into place and is to be supported by a tightly woven steel rebar skeleton. Additionally, the shade structure is designed to capture rainwater and store it in underground cisterns to be used by neighboring buildings. 12

The Tucson Artist Retreat is a proposed chapter of the American Academy of Rome located in the Sonoran Desert. The campus consists of twelve residences for visiting professionals, studio space, a dining hall, and a public center in which work produced on the campus is exhibited. The project seeks to capture the diverse perspectives through which one can experience the desert by providing a combination of tectonic and stereotomic architectural solutions. 20

This book offers a vision for Downtown Tucson as a growing, thriving, livable community in 2050 that is also carbon and water neutral. The semester-long project was led by one professor and eleven University of Arizona Bachelor of Architecture students including myself, sponsored by GLHN Architects and Engineers, and supported by six community mentors. The content displayed in this portfolio is my contribution to the body of work. I primarily focused on open space and calculating carbon sequestration, as well as the overall graphic design of the book. The semester concluded with a public exhibit that was featured in Zocalo Magazine and several local news outlets.

Fabrication
This piece was crafted by combining both traditional and digital fabrication techniques. The purpose of the project was to gain experience using digital fabrication tools such as the CNC router. The geometry was parametrically modeled using Rhino and Grasshopper. The skills learned through digital fabrication allow for increased precision and rapid prototyping. 34

Tucson, AZ
This is a hillside, single family, private residence in Tucson, Arizona, currently in schematic design. The house consists of two intersecting concrete bars. These bars separate the home into two wings, one private and one public. The public area of the home is organized around an open kitchen, following the concept that the kitchen is where all family life is centered. It is envisioned to be built from thick concrete walls that will provide thermal insulation as well as structural support to the home. Deep shaded overhangs protect panoramic views of Tucson and surrounding mountains, while a louver system on the west facade protects from the harsh afternoon sun. 36

This is a design for a six unit apartment building (3x one bedroom, 3x two bedroom). The project focus was in balancing the need for privacy with creating a sense of community within the dwelling. The design is organized around a central courtyard that provides a gathering space for residents and visitors. The courtyard connects to the adjacent complex on multiple floors, allowing for circulation between them and emphasizing a sense of community. 38
