The Horticultural Conservatory takes the four distinct ecological zones and squeezes them as tightly as possible so they can have a certain reciprocity between them. This creates exchange amongst themselves to be more self-efficient. However the ecology center is placed on top of the data center so it can maximize with the surface by absorbing its heat. By placing the building uniquely on top of the data center it alters how its inhabitance both perceives the space of the ecology that is produced but also produces unique views of the city. Above and beyond it manipulates views by having forced perspective to bring you closer to Milwaukee and the ecology at the same time.

On site conductors
Power is supplied by Milwaukee’s Lake Michigan turbine projects and stored in on site conductors. Heat from the data centers is recycled then distributed by direct conduction to the appropriate climate ecology.

The Primary school was a project that would be built in the middle of an existing park. The process was to manipulate the ground plane as it changes dramatically from Humboldt road to the river located east from Humboldt. The school was brought up to Humboldt road leaving the park in contact for the students. The schools aesthetic focused mainly with mass, transparency and opacity allowing the students to read the spaces differently.

UWM downer residence hall was a project that was located right on UWM’s campus. It was a new dormitory that would be built on the corner of Downer and Edgewood. The design process mainly focused on function following form, thus creating a gateway from the building Sabin to the south to the downer woods located north. The first two floors contained the supporting programs such as a lecture hall, public from private study spaces and resource center. There are two towers that sit above the second floor each at different heights for solar orientation purposes. Each floor consists of six houses, each house containing two double suites with one single room in one of the houses for one RA. The façade I chose to work with was terracotta that are applied as panels and can be given any aesthetic look desired.

Summer 2013 I chose to study abroad in the summer of 2013, through an excursion led by Professor Mark Keane and Professor Linda Keane. Starting in June and ending in August we would follow the French history timeline and visit every building that corresponded to that time.

Most of the images produced on this page pertained to the French history led by Professor Mark Keane. Our assignments were drawing along with him when we had arrived to every site that was on the days agenda. By drawing and instead of just taking pictures we were able to recognize and understand the architectural elements found on French buildings. Place des Vosges

The contemporary waiting space is located between Milwaukee’s U.S. postal office and the Amtrak station. The projects purpose is to create a waiting space for Milwaukee’s transit users. People that have time to spare would utilize this space. The first floor space is composed with a monumental stair case with bench seating surrounded by glass Eero Saarinen-Milwaukee War Memorial Case Study to attract visiting people into the space. This area is intended for immediate pick up, so it would suit people waiting less than twenty minutes. The second floor is organized as a waiting lounge. It has guest bathrooms, lounge type seating, kiosks, etc. This space is utilized mostly by people that are waiting for longer periods of time, typically thirty minutes or more.

The kit of parts design project was the first design project as an undergrad. This project focused heavily on the organization of the “Kit of parts”. The “Kit of parts” consisted of pieces such as the plinth, eight columns, five walls at various lengths, a canopy, means of entrance, a monolith used as desired and a two reflecting pools. The final project plan is divided into two halves, entering in the centered vestibule area made up of all columns gives the inhabitant the option to wonder left or right. The left side of the plan consist of one large space that is divided into two rooms by a partition wall. The small reflecting pool sits behind that wall so it appears in both rooms. The right side of the plan leads the user walking along the larger reflecting pool to the monolith at the end. The monolith piece is used as a focal point to lure inhabitants into that space.

El Lissitzky Proun was a project that consisted of reading and trying to decode one of many proun’s by the architect/painter Lazar Lissitzky. Requirements for the “cube” project were, one piece was to be made of hydrocal, must be self-held of all six sides and elements must be taken from the assigned proun. I was given Proun 1A (bottom) and composed a cube using an additive process from elements found and taken from Proun 1A. Diagraming about 30 alliterations found in the proun allowed me to manipulated certain elements to compose my final cube.
