Acknowledgements I would like to first thank my parents. Without their love, support, and motivation through my academic career I would not have made it this far. You both have taught me to be the best person, always surround myself with good people, and never give up. I love you both so much. To my academic professor through the years. Kourtney Baldwin, you we’re the one who instilled in me the craft to create beautiful designs. Your attention to detail, strong deadlines, and patience in the many design studios I enrolled in would not have made me the designer I am today or the designer I will continue to strive for. My thesis chair, Stephen Bender. Thank you for the open and honest conversations over the last two years. Your knowledge and personality made learning from you extremely fulfilling and fun. I hope our paths continue to intersect within the design community. To my team at Baker Barrios Architects. Without your guidance and willingness to work with my flexible schedule, which allowed me actual take the time to get this done, I would have not been able to complete this goal in the time it took. To all my fellow academic colleagues. The architectural design studio culture is one that is unique and unmatched. We start our academic career as competitive design students and leave as lifelong friends.
Thank you.
