TULANE / GRAVIER, NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA Masters thesis focused on creating an ICU that would prevent hospital acquired infections through critical design fused with practical healthcare strategies. I proposed a new paradigm of collaborative hospital construction. The design, while apparently formal, is a functionalist inside out approach rooted in evidence based design strategies.

BENCH ASSEMBLY
UPTOWN, NEW ORLEANS - TULANE UNIVERSITY LOUISIANA In honor of the Jewish holiday Sukkot, the Tulane School of Architecture in collaboration with the Tulane Hillel designed and built a contemporary interpretation of the religious structure: the sukkah. Through an all day modeling charrette a design was chosen. The design was developed and documented using 3D modeling. Then the geometry was rationalized for fabrication on the CNC machine. Milled out of corrugated plastic, large triangulated panels were zip tied and bolted down to wood framed benches. Group consisted of 15 students of varying years. As one of the 4 - “5th years”, I led younger students in fabrication and assembly techniques to execute the large sukkah.

CENTRAL CITY, NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA Working with the non-profit NOLA Housing Services as our client, 14 students constructed a three bedroom two bathroom house. The Tulane School of Architecture has developed several homes in the neighborhood in order to increase property values and bring in new families. It also acts as a prototype for future developers of affordable housing. Home was designed by student team in the Fall semester. I participated in the Spring Build semester. As an full team member I worked from sun-up to sun-down 6-7 days a week; pouring the foundation, rough framing, installing windows and doors, roofing, flooring, trim out, and landscaping. There were various design-build opportunities within the house. I was engaged in the custom features of the font deck guardrail and master closet.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS Complete exposure to all facets of the construction process. As a part of the student team, I assembled all elements of the house with only exceptions to mechanical electrical and plumbing. Developed teamwork, communication, and project management skills. Quality control and phasing schedule was placed on high priority throughout the build. Some of the custom elements had to have to be assembled at the off site workshop.

VIA GIULIA, ROME ITALY Along ‘Via Giulia’, a prominent renaissance street in Rome is a controversial void in the tight urban fabric. The site addresses three major layers of historic significance, Beneath the surface is an ancient roman stable, above that used to be a cluster of Renaissance buildings with a small piazza before Mussolini had them demolished for a never completed road. A museum is buried within and above the site to allow for a continuous public space. The carved out lower level returns the urban void to its original geometry without simply rebuilding the fabric, while the suspended museum and residences above address the current site conditions.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA For comprehensive studio, asked to design a dance academy to accommodate multiple theaters and dance studios in an infill lot. In addition to basic design requirements. All structural, mechanical, egress, fire safety was carefully thought out for the building. By utilizing the benefits of the structural system, the divided cube ‘parti’ suits the dance academy is many ways. Upper and lower level program concepts were created to maximize performance vs. school space. By having regular grids a courtyard space was subtracted from the volume above the theatre were the structural depth is already increased.

CIRCULATION
VALENCE, NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA Located within a racially / socially divided community in Uptown, the New Orleans building arts institute establishes open park space for the Valence community. This space along with the institute itself will serve as a gathering place for community activities and civic engagement to promote future growth and integration of the split neighborhood. The lack of open green space in the Valence neighborhood was the driving design factor for the compact building footprint and maximum effective open space. Finally a single programmatic band of circulation bridges the two volumes creating a dynamic visual connection throughout the building.
This strategy supports the building’s intended role within the neighborhood, located on a block dividing the nurtured region to the southwest and the neglected region to the northeast; it creates a gathering place for both regions to connect and grow. The building’s formal gesture bridges between two symbolic volumes for each side of the neighborhood.
