Ghana Design Build Organization: Miami University Location: Abrafo Odumasi, Ghana Year: 2010 This seven-week design build brought me to Ghana, where myself and seventeen other students were granted the opportunity to design and construct two buildings to improve the small rural community of Abrafo Odumasi. Learning from the community we found that the local school was in need of teachers and to bring teachers to the community required incentive. By providing the community with two homes that would provide qualified teachers with the living arrangements they desire this incentive was reached.
Florence Architecture Workshop Organization: Miami University Location: San Mineato, Italy Year: 2010 The Florence Architecture Workshop is a four day international competition open to architecture students of all nationalities. It was an urban design and architecture competition that provided participants with different educational backgrounds and experiences, the opportunity to collaborate and exchange ideas on issues of common architectural and urban importance of a historically significant open space within San Miniato, Italy. For this competition we took on the challenge of designing a museum engrossed by the urban context of historical San Miniato. We designed a structure that is meant to stimulate the human experience. A museum that pays reverence to the ancient architectural context of San Miniato while simultaneously introducing a new more modern visual language. We stitched the urban fabric by completing the site, in both a horizontal and vertical manner. Our group believed that the best way to deal with this focal point was by defining the directional path of the urban movement into a nexus of energy. We finished the location by bringing back an ancient courtyard and un-birthing a higher source of unity, where individuals could gather in a courtyard and experience the view on a personal level. Overall we have managed to create a space, where people can come together by achieving our goals of respecting the cities history and completing its city plan.

xs Gallery Organization: Miami University Location: Cincinnati, Ohio Year: 2011 Through exploration and experimentation this capstone studio provided an environment to understand how we as people interact with our surroundings. By focusing on specific locations both on campus and within Cincinnati, many short-term projects were conducted to better understand ways to alter perception of space and material. These explorations lead to a Final Gallery show in which each student displayed an installation constructed from locally sourced materials. As a studio we curated the exhibit, promoted the event, and held a gallery show open to the public.

Encountering the Urban Position Organization: Savannah College of Art and Design Location: Savannah, Georgia Year: 2012 By encountering the urban position of Savannah, GA this urban planning studio presented a possible answer to the cities need to expand. By developing Hunter Army Airfield, a 5,370-acre plot comprised primarily of wetlands, into an extension of the current city. The base, located within a few miles of Savannah’s Historic Landmark District had to pay homage to the historic district and connect to the area around the base, which has developed haphazardly throughout the base’s history. By identifying primary circulation patterns and nodes of intersection, a grid was formed based on the historically significant and successful Savannah ward.

moXie is a museum is designed as a destination, an easily accessible area for people to experience nature within a dense, green-less city. With a program designed to educate and entice people of all ages, the site hosts a wide range of activities that the building teaches you about. Both the site and building encourage people to come into the downtown area in hopes of revitalizing downtown Jacksonville.
