UWM downer residence hall was a project that was located right on UWM’s campus. It was a new dormitory that would inhabit the corner of Downer and Edgewood. The design process mainly focused on function following form, thus creating a gateway from the building Sabin(South) to the north of the site known as downer woods. The Resident rooms are located above the lower areas to promote the views toward the lake to the east and down town MIlwaukee to the south. 4

This north east render is the main entrance to the facility. It acts as a metaphoric bridge to connect the center most populated portion of the campus to the peaceful Downer woods located just north. 8

The Brightened colors are motivated by the early morning eastern sun that helps illuminate the exterior translucent glass. The translucent curtain walls helps give the interior a glow that helps brighten up darker areas of the lecture hall.

Kern Park
Primary School
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.

SITE PLAN
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.

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.
Final Model [Bass Wood+ Hydrocal]
Lissitzky Proun 1A Proun 1A Sketch Diagrams. 21-30 shape sketches to use for the actual final. 2-3 or those 30 are used in combination.

Axon modeling diagrams. Using the additive process aproach i was able to compse a proun reading from items pulled directly from the origional painting. The process later turn into a modeled objed that is held up on all six sides.
