HOLMES COUNTY ARTS AND MEDICAL CENTER FALL 2016
The objec�ve of the Holmes County Arts and Medical Center project is to design a community center purposed toward the prac�ce and presenta�on 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 facili�es and near residen�al neighborhoods. As the project was actually proposed to my studio by a representa�ve 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 octagonal footprint that disrupts the uniformity of the frame. The frame does pierce through the volume, however, holding the aerial ligh�ng fixtures of the theatre. 3

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 between its two levels. Additionally, the program includes a medical center, a computer lab, a multi-purpose room, and a small café area included in the lobby space.

The program is divided between the two levels based on the type of interaction and function of the spaces. The ground floor is where the “served” spaces are situated, including the lobby, medical center, administration and bathrooms. The “service” spaces, including the classrooms, dance studio, and computer lab, are situated on the second floor, where the public has a more active participation in the function of the space.

JESSE OWENS NORTH RECREATION CENTER FALL 2016
As the North Campus area of The Ohio State University con�nues to expand with new buildings, including residence halls, two campus dining facili�es, and a new recrea�on center, there are plans in the future to demolish the current Jesse Owens North Recrea�on Center and replace it with a newer facility. The objec�ve of this project is to redesign the building through abstract design techniques to design a completely new facility with addi�onal 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 redistribu�ng 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 redesigned surrounding landscape. From that point, the shapes of the roof garden were replicated in the interior of the building to designate the spaces of the program.

COLUMBUS SMART ARENA SPRING 2017
The objec�ve of the Columbus Smart Arena project is to design mul�ple buildings that can loosely be described as “mixed-use” intended for a site in Columbus’ Arena District. The two primary pieces of program consist of an arena purposed toward extreme sports and a transit sta�on at the center point of three converging train lines. The rest of the program is distributed based on func�on between two buildings adjacent to the arena. The program purposed toward the visitors and administra�on (hotel, headquarter offices and stadium offices) are situated in an L-shaped building close to the arena that surrounds a large public plaza between the arena and the three loca�ons where visitors would arrive from (transit sta�on, underground parking garage and Smart Car parking lot). The program purposed toward the athletes (training facility, athlete dorms, and medical offices) are situated in the building on the opposite side of the Visitor Building, in a more private se�ng adjacent to the arena’s support space parking lot and a large training yard.

“DIAMOND IN THE TRUSS” VOTING INSTALLATION SPRING 2016
The Diamond in the Truss Vo�ng Installa�on presents a reimagining of conven�onal vo�ng booths, implemen�ng complex and func�onal elements through its design. The tessellated walls walls of the installa�on are organized in the form of a nine-square grid, using it to designate the separa�on of spaces between the booths and create a system of inter-related propor�ons. The spaces of the installa�on correlate to different parts of the grid, with the private vo�ng spaces being situated at opposite corners and the sea�ng spaces designated for public use on the exterior of the installa�on being situated at the other opposing corners of the grid. The other primary element of the installa�on apart from the tessellated wall system is the �lted and rotated girder. The girder, made up of a Pennsylvania truss structural pa�ern, is organized by a foursquare grid with girders extruding from the points in which the lines meet and connec�ng to the ground, piercing through the booth in some places. One of these piercing points occurs through one of the mee�ng points of the walls, exposing it to both booths of the installa�on and providing a mutual ballot box to place ballots wri�en out in the booths.

SURREAL TRANSIT STATION SPRING 2017
The objec�ve of the Transit Sta�on project was to design a sta�on and bus shelter using themes present in architectural or ar�s�c theories. The purpose of this project was to think about architecture on a scale smaller than buildings, and to develop a design that does not strictly take its precedent from conven�onal styles of architecture. Inspira�on for my design of the sta�on was taken from surrealism, including both pieces from the 1920s and from more contemporary examples of surrealism in art. With the idea 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 floa�ng above the buses. The shelter took on a fluid shape that con�nued in all aspects of the design, including the suppor�ng columns, the two staircases, and the small pavilion at the entrance of the sta�on.
