I believe that good architecture is a basic human right and I strive to provide designs that better the community in addition to fulfilling the needs of the client. Growing up in one of the most segregated cities in the world, Chicago, I decided that I would become an architect in order to design a better city. Since then, I developed a deeper understanding of the profession. It has become clear to me that architecture is in need of social consciousness, the kind that is seen in L.A. architect Michael Maltzan's Star Apartments. This prefabricated public housing project has been an inspiration to me as it is both affordable and elegant. Flow 1-4

Flow Class: Arch 373 Architectural Design in the Landscape Fall 2018, Professor David Emmons Prompt: To design an artists' village for visiting artists in Allerton Park Description: Allerton Park is a 'natural' oasis with a manicured landscape tucked between vast cornfields. To fully experience Allerton Park one must venture deep within the forest to discover hidden 'man-made' treasures throughout. This artists' village is meant to be one of those hidden treasures. Centered along the creek that flows into the Sangamon River, these cabins are meant to blend in with the surrounding lush landscape so that the artists become deeply rooted with the land and in their work.

Trajectory Class: Arch 475 Capstone Studio Fall 2019, Professor Kennedy Hutson Prompt: To design a boutique hotel for downtown Champaign that builds on the city's blossoming tourism prospects. Description: To connect the hotel to the city's main attractions, the design is focused on each room's view. By placing the rooms on a quarter circle, the guests will get views of the rest of downtown and West Side Park. The curve rounds out the corner and allows for a larger outdoor space to be used as a small drop off point for guests and as a public space. My design also incorporates the renovation of a historic building to the north of the site for a new sizable venue for events.

After sketching different room layouts it became clear that a curve was the best option for this site. The back of house spaces were placed on a grid rotated at 18 degrees to relate to the railroad that runs nearby at that same angle. This angle allowed for an outdoor space to the north and easy connections to the public areas.
Urban Context Located at the northern most point of downtown the building faces south at a city owned parking lot. In anticipation of the upcoming renovation of the lot into a public square, the bar and restaurant both sit on the south side of the building drawing attention from passersby.
Interior Rendering
The small drop off point for hotel guests is facilitated by a large sidewalk space. In order to make this corner safe, it is modeled after a shared street for vehicles and pedestrians with the elimination of the curb. This has been shown to increase drivers' awareness of pedestrians resulting in slower driving. The boutique hotel includes a restaurant on the first floor and a cafe as well located on the north side of the building. The cafe has outdoor seating that has a similar ambiance to other restaurants in downtown Champaign.

To create a more comfortable environment overlooking a city park, each room features furniture that helps fill in the "wedge" created by the angled walls. Wood paneled walls and floors are used to bring warmth into the guest spaces and the light blue accents serve to create a calming atmosphere. On the bedside the wall is left exposed to the concrete to reveal the structure.

Each room is conditioned by a fan coil unit allowing guests to have full control of their heating and cooling needs. The rest of the spaces are served by a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system. Thick blue and red lines represent VAV supply and return ducts respectively.

To respect the historic building a 14' space was left between it and the hotel. The gap also serves as a spill over space for larger events during warmer weather.

Disclosure Class: Arch 373 Architectural Design in the Landscape Fall 2018, Professor David Emmons Prompt: To design a classroom/ exhibition space for the arboretum. Description: I believe that in order to really understand the arboretum one must explore beyond the existing dedicated paths. The existing paths only encompass the Japanese Gardens and the formal gardens, while there are many underutilized acres to the south that are not easily found. These areas may be hard to find for people that cannot travel easily on uneven surfaces, with this in mind I designed a space for accessible discoveries.

By placing the building within the existing man-made hill it is easily hidden within the landscape. Only the paths that lead into the building will be visible, but they do not allow people to see through to the other side of the hill. This is meant to create interest for visitors to explore what is at the end of the path.
Context 
In the center of the site is the main entrance to the building. The interior has an open layout to provide flexibility for many different types of events. Behind the interior space is a garden that brings light into the back of the building as well as a pleasant environment.

Site Analysis Class: Arch 374 Architectural Design in the City, Spring 2019, Professor Claire Gaspin Prompt: Project to analyze the South Loop neighborhood via photography, sections and elevations. Description: Because of the large student population, I focused my photograph studies on how students interact with the neighborhood. Between subway lines and dormitories, students make up the fabric of the neighborhood.

With my colleague Alvin Mei, we created a large scale section of Dearborn Street starting from the Dearborn Street Station. I worked specifically drawing the section of the station, while Mei worked on the elevation. Together we composed a final cohesive color scheme, while paying close attention on the shade that was cast from each building. This helped to reveal the effect the built environment has at the ground level.

Stream of Time Class: Arch 374 Architectural Design in the City Spring 2019, Professor Claire Gaspin Prompt: To design a East African cultural center in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Description: Facing the challenge of creating a community center to include various cultures, I decided to look at the idea of time and progress for design solutions. Progress, the idea of gradual betterment in humanity, has not always a linear path, and this can be seen in the long history of East Africa. Through the slave trade and colonization in the 19th century, progress in East African was put on hold. Following independence from European colonizers, East African nations struggled to create a new sense of identity for their countries, but progress had started to improve. To portray this history as a non-linear progression the design was based off a circular form and a fluid concrete facade. Each floor differed in size according to its function.

The South Loop is now a fully gentrified community with a central location near several public transit lines. With close proximity to Jones College Prep, a local high school with an emphasis on social justice and community involvement, a center serves as a focal point for shared cultural understanding.

Cliff Hanger Class: Arch 272 Strategies of Architectural Design Spring 2018, TA Martin Rauber Prompt: Following a project to construct six models that convey a feeling of heaviness or lightness, we were asked to choose one as an inspiration for a small dwelling. Description: The model I chose to use was constructed out of concrete and acrylic materials, and was stacked as cantilevered layers. As this was one of the first few projects that required a specific program, I was able to use spatial skills that I had learned from previous conceptual studio projects.

Summer and Winter Sun
Circulation
In order to translate the concept model into a dwelling, I mimicked the cantilevering concrete with the floor slabs. This use of cantilevering helps to shade the interior of the dwelling during the warm summer months. During the winter months, it welcomes direct sunlight in to help heat up the space. The entrance is located on the top floor, while the staircase provides vertical circulation to the lower floors and the green roof.

Sol Class: Arch 272 Strategies of Architectural Design Spring 2018, TA Martin Rauber Prompt: To design a farmers market serving downtown Champaign Description: Champaign's farmer's market is an event that brings the community together through food, music, and performance. With a permanent structure, this building enables the cultural institution to extend into the winter months. Therefore, I designed the structure to allow for direct sunlight in the winter time so that the market will always be held in a sunny and inviting space for the community to enjoy. To accomplish this, I split the roof in half and raised the eastern roof high enough for the clerestory to capture the evening sunlight. This raised roof also highlights this corner, as it is the busiest corner of the site. With the roof positioned to let in sunlight in the morning and evening, it blocks the sun at solar noon to keep the building from overheating. Storage and office space are placed on the west part of the site where it gets the least light, keeping these spaces from fluctuating temperatures. There are entrances on all sides of the farmers market in order to help encourage people to flow through the market.

Explorations Description: During breaks, I enjoy exploring different methods of representation via painting, sketching, and photography. As a child I practiced drawing in the hope that I would be prepared for architecture school. I believe that practicing these techniques have enhanced my perception to the built and natural environment.
