Train Station Project While acting as a place of waiting, the train station provides a place to wander, observe, reflect, socialize, and read. The repetitive form morphs to distinguish the different programmatic zones. Spring 2014 Washington Alexandria Architecture Center

Train Station 02
Initial Threshold Sections
Inspired by train tracks and the movement of trains, the station is an elongated form created by many individual rhythmic units. The linear concrete units gradually rotate to create a ruled surface, which animate the space. This propels the traveler through the interior of the station, while also creating an animated exterior sculpture to passing trains on the adjacent tracks.

Wall Section Model
Various niches are inset into the concrete wall, providing individual habitation spaces. These points of human contact are constructed out of wood to provide a warmer atmosphere for the user, while also reducing the scale of the environment. Each end of the station is bound by two deep waterfalls which lead the travelers above ground and to the awaiting trains.

Infill New York Design In this short, three week charatte, the objective of the project was to design an infill building that provides for public and private use simultaneously. I chose to focus on the lines of sight within the space, which chosen correctly can direct the visitors attention and appropriately choreograph the nature of the building. Spring 2013 Joe Wheeler

Longitudinal Section Collage
As one steps into the building, their focus is directed straight to the back of the lobby, creating a propelling effect to bring by passers into the building. As they walk forward into the lobby and gallery space, the low horizontal space creates a compressed area that stimulates movement. A small opening hints at the language of the building. When the viewer arrives at the back of the lobby, a sense of release occurs as the visitor looks up to find the bridge like cells dancing overhead.

Montessori School The project assignment was to design a Montessori school based in Blacksburg, Va. Working on the floor, each child can find their own designated working space on the modulated plane, enhancing their self driven curriculum. Conforming to the language of the floor, the roof structure is comprised of a series of bundled tubes. Spring 2013 Joe Wheeler
Initial Visualization
Montessori School 05
Maintaining an open scheme, the tubes are suspended overhead with a structural grid of steel beams which attaches them to a few structural tubes which fall to the floor and at as legs for the roof plane. The steps between the six by six foot squares give each child their working space in the classroom.

Design Build Project A studio group project produced a spray paint booth for the school which provided students with a place designated for painting. This solved the issue of students painting against the building’s exterior. Fall 2012 Joe Wheeler

Outdoor Workstation Created using a repetition of similar shapes, this spray paint booth proposal is composed using three elements. The wood slatting provides adequate ventilation for the intended spray painting and plaster pouring. Fall 2012 Joe Wheeler
Longitudinal Section Drawing
Each element provides a specific function. The lowest element is the workbench. Slated to allow for proper ventilation and draining, the bench has an indoor side and an outdoor side. The middle element provides shelter for the user, while the highest element provides shading and wind protection. The overlapping of the elements provides a higher amount of shelter in optimal places while still remaining an unenclosed structure.

KohlMark Internship I worked for the summer to build a model for a project still in design phase. The project is located on a waterfront site in Northern Virginia. Summer 2012 and 2013 Mark Kohler

09 Light Screen Project Prompted to create a light filtering system using only a sheet material and one other material, this hanging light screen was developed and produced. Spring 2012 Aki Ashida
Panel Drawing
A system of hanging petal like screens were developed to shield passerbys from the harsh reflected light of the hallway. The screens are suspended from the ceiling independently of one another so that as a person walks by the screens have the ability to move and respond to the user, creating a more dynamic installation piece. Each screen is made of plastic strips fastened together with a sliding joint, which allows the panel to be adjusted according to its surroundings.

Light Screen Pavilion Project The second half of this project was to turn the light screen into a public pavilion in New York City. Spring 2012 Aki Ashida
Site Analysis
The class went on a site visit to New York to document the existing conditions and to brainstorm how the flow of people could be improved on the triangular space. Two one way streets created a unique opportunity to have two different views onto the same space. Taking into account the car and pedestrian traffic, the views from the restaurant seating, the operable bays were choreographed to direct and guide the flow of foot traffic through the space.
Light Screen Pavillion 10
In order to achieve an animated structure to stimulate public use, a suspension mechanism was invented to directly react to the amount of pedestrian traffic through the pavillion. This combined with the light filtering nature of the screen, creates a lively addition to the currently ho hum city park.
