I am gentle and caring. I am highly intuitive, tends to be artistic and creative in everything I do. Since I am not idle to dreams, I urge myself to take concrete steps towards them, I am rarely satisfied with anything before testing it and having a full logical understanding of it. I see a hidden meaning and a potential possibility in everything and I am always willing to test different options and taking risks. Overall, I am much more interested in meeting or exceeding anybody’s high standards or expectancy of me than trying to become the least.

“...not idle to dreams, it urge me to take concrete steps towards them.”

Whenever especially my mom needs help with something that is urgent and needs full attention like buying flight tickets, paying bills, making schedules or convince my siblings to do something. She always comes to me because she knows that whenever I am in charge of something, I am not going to look any other way until it is perfectly done. Even though it is not always perfect when I do it, she knows that she can count on me to carry on tasks that others will probably put on their last to do list because I am a perfectionist and will not stop until I get it done.

“...see a hidden meaning and a potential possibility in willing to take risks.”

When I come to college and decided to do architecture, I looked at the curriculum and one of the first questions I asked my advisor was if there was a possibility to minor in something. Her answer was without hesitation a solid “no” but it did not stop me from joining the honor’s program and the leadership program because I wanted to gain more than I was limited to.

Cultivate “A garden requires patient labor, and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.�

Project date - Aug . 2018- May. 2019 Location - Downtown South Bend, Indiana 7

Built off of the initial idea of hospitals and schools (education and health) as well as the community, this project hopes to revive the connections that lack between the people of South Bend and their environment. It aims at promoting human flourishing and connections through its architecture design and urban spaces. The project will bring back nature’s publicness in people’s environment to contribute to their well-being and development. It will cultivate human flourishing, social interaction, and human connection that the community needs through its multiple functions. And as a result, it will show the potential that the downtown north end has to revive the city’s vision for growth. Furthermore, by developing a suitable design, the project will hold qualitative difference between a place and space. Spaces that are constituted of memories and affections, through repeated encounters and complex association; have greater capacity to become meaningful places.

- Premise

Principles Diversity

This will ensure variety and uniqueness in every decision made about the design. All the functions in the facility will have a unique role in bringing the community together despite any difference

Harmony

encourages relationships and encourage growth through cultivation of differences.

Opportunities provided function in harmony with each other so to fullfill a common goal

8

Revival

The site has potential to become a hub and a place of influence to both the people and to the city. My design will therfore help stimulate the place’s potential with the goal to revive it in every way.

Connection

This will allow the facility to maximize it’s potential. It will encourage relationship and intermutual help and assistance to develope a sence of community in people using the building

Manifestation of Anology

Since my project revolves around cultivating, I based my design organisation, composition and design inspirartion on the concept of layering, a community based facility with defined places rather than just spacces in order to fullfill the goal of the cultivating aim of the project. The design has many different defined corners and surfaces that will allow peopple to realise and experience something different in every corner of the facility.

Dealing with the Great Controvercy “It is Satan’s constant effort to misrepresent the character of God, the nature of sin, and the real issues at stake in the great controversy. His sophistry lessens the obligation of the divine law and gives men license to sin. At the same time he causes them to cherish false conceptions of God so that they regard Him with fear and hate rather than with love. The cruelty inherent in his own character is attributed to the Creator; it is embodied in systems of religion and expressed in modes of worship.”

- Ellen G. White, Great controvercy

Junior year project II

Location - Downtown Bujumbura, Burundi 15

History of the place Burundi, located in the heart of Africa, is now one of the poorest nations in the world.

One of the reasons for Burundi’s current poverty is the ongoing strife from years of ethnic-based tensions and civil instability. Since its independence in 1962, it has been overwhelmed by the tension between the usually dominant Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority fights. The official civil war that sparked off in 1993, was never resolved and lead to more war outbreak. I remember growing up in a city that was never safe to walk in at any time of the day, where no one ever knew that they will make it to the next day because of the unpredictable gunshot and bombing at any time of the day.

Manifestation of anology This Project is designed to the population of Bujumbura in Burundi that have been dealing with civil war for many years now. The Seventh-day Adventist church being my client, I decided to use this design in dealing with what Ellen G. White calls the Great Controversy in her book published in 1858. She refers to it as to the cosmic battle between Jesus Christ and Satan on earth. My experience as an architecture student and researcher made me believe in design as a potential contributor to solving social problems. Therefore, with the opportunity I was given to design a building in the downtown of my home city, I took on the challenge to design a building with the aim of contribution to the wellbeing of the community of Bujumbura through the functions that will be found in the building.

Tell Hisban through history Reconstruction Tell Hesban, current “Al Mushalah� has a history of more than 7000years in which it housed more than eight different group of people and civilizations. It is also known to have gone through several changes especially architecture. Tall Hesban have been an Andrews University archeological site for now 25years.

The goal of archeologists at Tell Hesban is mainly to discover and study the daily lives and survival strategies of the individuals and communities that have outlasted multiple millennials of imperial dominations at Tall Hesban. During these 7millenials, there were 4 civilisations that were mentioned by the archeologists to have dominated on the tell.

During the Abbasad and the Mamluk period, churches from the earlier ages were turned into houses or like in this case palaces.

Churches were not turned into Mosques because Mosques were to be constructed a fresh.

Tall Hesban history has been greatly influenced by its summit that believed to have had a fortress surounding The Archeologist believe that this was one of the feature that have been used and re-used throughout most of the ages known to have populated the tell. it with 4 towers on each corner.

Throughout the history of Tall Hesban the citadel with the 4 corners have always been the bench mark and the start of every civilization for it is believed that the citadel would eventually be the most celebrated place of the whole site despite the other features that people would build around it or in it.

38

II. The Iron Age reservoir (1000BC-900BC) The reservoir of the Iron age is the most important Iron age discovered feature currently viewable at the site. It is rectangular in shape, measures about 17.5 by 17.5m and dates between the 10th-9th C. BC

The archeologists also think that it is the same reservoir that Solomon refer to in the Bible as the pool of Hesban in the Song of Salomon7:4. A question persist regarding it’s enormous size including a spring that might have existed on the site in Antiquity.

39

IV. The Roman Stairs (63BC- 324BC)

The Roman stairs were beilieved to be the most prominent feature known of he site during this the hellenisticand the man period. These stairs are believed have been a grand stairs that would be directed to the Temple that was where the Byzantine Church above was constructed after words.

40

IV. The Byzantine Basilica (324AD- 661AD)

It is in the Byzantine period that the Historians and the archeologists believe that the spread of Christianity happened. The Basilica on Tell Hesban is one of the discovered features that proves this as well as tell the story of people during the first pread of christianity and churches that existed.
