HOLMES COUNTY ARTS AND MEDICAL CENTER FALL 2016
3
The objective of the Holmes County Arts and Medical Center project is to design a community center purposed toward the practice and presentation of the arts. The site is located in the heart of Holmes County, Ohio, a large Amish community. It is situated adjacent to a library, a grocery store, and a golf course among other public facilities and near residential neighborhoods. As the project was actually proposed to my studio by a representative from Holmes County, the project was supposed to reflect the surrounding culture and architecture of the area in some way. My design took influence from Amish barn raising, represented primarily through the steel framework of the building. The only element of the building that deviates from the steel framework is the theatre, which has a large octogonal footprint and acts as a foreign object that disrupts the uniformity of the frame. The frame does pierce through the volume, however, holding the aerial lighting fixtures of the theatre.

The artistic portion of the program includes art classrooms for both adults and children, a dance studio, and a theatre capable of seating up to about five hundred people in the audience. Additionally, the program includes a medical center, a computer lab, a multi-purpose room, and a small café area included in the lobby space. 5
EAST ELEVATION
The roof is angled in reaction to the angle of the sun to bring optimal natural lighting into the building. Being that the majority of the program is situated around the perimeter of the building, with the second floor circulation overlooking the lower level, natural light reaches both floors of the building through the glass of the roof encased within the steel frame.

JESSE OWENS NORTH RECREATION CENTER FALL 2016
9
As the North Campus area of The Ohio State University continues to expand with new buildings, including residence halls, two campus dining facilities, and a new recreation center, there are plans in the future to demolish the current Jesse Owens North Recreation Center and replace it with a newer facility. The objective of this project is to redesign the building through abstract means to design a completely new facility with additional space and program to what currently stands. The design of the building at the basic level was done through organizing the program into simple shapes, then reversing and redistributing the voids from the figural objects created. Those voids were made solid and rearranged to reestablish the program. The building also must include a “special program,” which, in my design, came in the form of the roof garden that mimicked the terraced nature of the redesign of the building’s surrounding landscape. From that point, the shapes of the roof garden “leaked” into the building to designate the spaces of the program. 10

SURREAL TRANSIT STATION WINTER 2017
15
The objective of the Transit Station project was to design a station and bus shelter using themes present in architectural or artistic theories. Inspiration for my design of the station was taken from surrealism, including both pieces from the 1920s and from more contemporary examples of surrealism in art. With the ideas of surrealism in mind, the goal of the design was to manipulate and abstract the ideas of structure and transparency to make it appear as if the shelter above the buses, which also acts as the parking lot for smaller vehicles, is floating above the buses. The shelter took on a fluid shape that continued in all aspects of the design, including the supporting columns, the two staircases, and the small pavilion at the entrance of the station.
