the funnel gallery ARCH311 Studio : Instructed by Professor Aaron Schump Autumn 2021 Sited in St. Louis’ arts district, Grand Center, this project is an art gallery, artists’ studio, and artists’ residence that seamlessly integrates itself into the Grand Center arts tour experience. Open at the street level, featuring public gathering spaces at both entrances, and organized as a continuous interior gallery, the project acts as a connective tissue that funnels visitors through the gallery and towards the neighboring museums. Penetrating lightwells and views within the project also connect the studio and artists to the gallery and visitors, interfacing an interactive arts tour experience.

research : bamboo and community Research work under Professor Wyly Brown Autumn 2021 - Winter 2022 Amidst current and predicted volatility in global timber markets, the need to source alternative building materials grows ever critical. My ongoing research work under Professor Wyly Brown has been exploring the potential of timber bamboo cultivation in urban areas, seeking to develop bamboo construction as a community resource. In experimenting with low-tech and low-skill construction methods, I drafted the design of a bamboo pavilion dome. The research team and I traveled to Tinamaste, Costa Rica in early January for 11 days to construct the pavilion in full scale alongside local construction workers and bamboo craftsmen.

solar stack courthouse ARCH212 Studio : Instructed by Professor Wyly Brown Spring 2021 Sited in St. Louis’ art district, Grand Center, this project renovates and reimagines the upper levels of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation building as a courthouse. Carving into the third and fourth floors creates an open atrium space that daylights the interior and volumetrically expands the sense of space. The central cone structures serve as solar funnels that illuminate the circular courtrooms, as stack ventilating chimneys, and as the threshold between public and private ciruclations.

documentation : maison loucheur Documenting Le Corbusier : Instructed by Professors Sung Ho Kim and Eric Mumford Spring 2021

Designed in 1929 by Le Corbusier but ultimately unbuilt, the Maison Loucheur was devised as an industrialized, semi-detached model for prefabricated public housing. I spent time in this studio researching, analyzing, and digitally reconstructing a model of the Maison Loucheur from Le Corbusier’s original drawings as found in the Ouvre Complete and from the architect’s other projects as supplements to make educated guesses where the original drawings left information unfulfilled.

analysis : building systems Building Systems : Instructed by Professor Natasha Dunwoody Collaboration Credit : Ange Long, Austin Tsailin Autumn 2021 Renovated most recently in 2008 by architect Renzo Piano, the California Academy of Sciences is a research institute and natural history museum located in San Francisco, California. My group and I spent this semester project analyzing Piano’s facade and roofing strategy as a response to the climatic and site conditions of Golden Gate Park, dissecting a section of the porous curtain wall, and constructing an accurate model of the curtain wall segment.
