The Wedja Line conceptually reflects the Egyptian phrase “Ankh, Wedja, Senab” meaning “Life, Prosperity, Health.” The Wedja Line is a pedestrian and cyclist path that serves as the main linkage between the two development areas and The Nabq Nature Reserve. The development areas are Senab Plaza, the northern site that encourages day time use and outfitter adventures and Ankh Square, the southern site that focuses on night life program elements and gardening. Both development areas and The Wedja Line focus on six aspects of health and prosperity as well as six elements of a healthy community to create a Sustainable Healthy Development in Nabq Bay that can bleed into the greater Sharm El Sheikh area.

The Three Rivers Engagement Center Creates a blend between the ecosystem of the Congaree River and the Urban Context of Columbia and West Columbia. Our project leverages design strategies that preserve the natural elements on the site and encourages the public to appreciate existing water and land conditions. West Columbia emerges from the sloped landscape and locates public space relative to the urban context. Columbia merges with the undeveloped forest to preserve its beauty and locates public spaces relative to the natural context. TREC brings the two cities together by offering spaces to engage in education based programs centered around culture and recreation, which were chosen by community surveys.

The Lake Issaqueena Park has a mission to encourage wellness through program elements that enhance the four components of health: Mental, Physical, Social and Ecological. The first phase of this project has a focus on the component of mental health which correlates to the zone Heal the Mind. The location of program elements were carefully considered in the site analysis phase and is located on the area of land across the river to provide a sense of privacy and seclusion. Healing is a process of harmonizing the mind, body and spirit. Lake Issaqueena Park offers space for users to find peace and comfort with themselves as well as their surroundings. This site addresses the question: What if we healed mind, body and spirit together and protect and enhance the ecological environment in which we do so?

This semester we focused on Office Building design and how we could integrate new methods of collaboration and co-working into traditional office buildings. We focused on what we wanted our building to accomplish: collaborative work spaces, elements of nature, and amenities for employees and families. Then we focused on which views from The High Line we wanted to capture and this determined the form. Integrating the building into a complex string of building found on The High line was a challenge. We blended the facade into The High Line by merging glass with concrete and created a space for people from all backgrounds and disciplines to “Hang.”

Here we were tasked to propose a new transportation system in Charleston. Charleston is greatly affected by gentrification, affordable housing is constantly being torn down and rebuilt with the intent to service those who lived there before but inevitably fail. This project restructures the transportation system to allow equal opportunity for those who live outside the city an efficient way to get to and from work, home or school. The tower on the site features low priced grocery stores and supply stores for the residents of the tower and in the area. The tower also provides additional affordable housing units for those effected by the development of the area.

Embassy’s and Consulates strive for design excellence while keeping in mind the presence and message The United States to brings to other countries. We attempted to unify the nations by design in a passive way to preserve the relationship between the US and Morocco. We sunk the site to allow pedestrians to see down into the compound and not be intimidated by the wall surrounding the perimeter. The facade displays a traditional Islamic pattern embedded in the precast panels and our massing was derived from classic Moroccan Architecture. The site is accessed by the continuous pedestrian bridge. The bridge keeps the compound safe, and provides a logical path for visitors.

I was challenged to build a Box with six sides with a minimum square volume of 175in. I started with wood in its thinnest form, paper, and folded it into an accordion like square. The way we navigate through the design phase is approached differently when it is in your hands to make sure the end product is of the quality to which you drew it. More thought goes into every detail and are obsessed over in a way when you are crafting something for human use. You must know the details down to the exact measurement and the order in which things are assembled in order to produce the best quality product. This box was designed using a 3D modeling software and then 3D printed to ensure measurements were accurate. The file product is used to hold Vinyl Records

The CDCC Installation Project was designed and built by the Introduction to Craft Students at the Clemson Design Center in Charleston. The team had to build trust early on in the project in order for things to operate and be executed efficiently. Listening to each others idea, respecting the advice from our project leader and relying on our team members to achieve the end goal, a complete installation, was the main objective of this project. The project began by sketching ideas on a white board and ended as a structure for the CDCC to display information about programs the center offers. This project required physical construction of the installation and digital design of the display boards in order to be considered complete.

I am a second year Masters of Landscape Architecture student at Clemson University. My goal is to broaden my understanding of the world we live in by observing human interactions, learning about equity and inclusion, and work in future development and master planning. I am constantly looking for ways to learn more about what I don’t know regarding disadvantages people face and reflect on the things I know and how they can influence everyday design. I hope to purse a career in Landscape Architecture. I see the study of landscape architecture as having endless potential for changing the way others interact and thrive in the world. I am eager to gain insight on these possibilities through the study and practice of design.
