I’m a current full-time architecture student at the Georgia Institute of Technology who can assist with a wide genre of design, strategic thinking, and drawing. I am a first generation college student from the small rural town of Jefferson, GA. My dedication and curiosity is something that has led me to be in the position I am today. I will continue to practice that same energy as I venture through every new opportunity and especially, my architectural pathway.

Body, Site, Program + Structure Project This project consisted of analyzing and designing an effective study carrel located on the Georgia Tech campus perimeter. The proposed placement of this carrel was on the east facing facade of the Bunger Henry Building. With a limited amount of square footage given, we were challenged to use materials and space wisely and strategically. Our carrel must have accommodated all ADA regiments while also having a concise iteration of our design painted with sketched drawings and a physical model which included the surrounding environment.

Using Space As Your Medium This project translates and interprets space as a form of medium in which we can begin to mold an inviting space with at most 1,728 cubic feet. Using solely orthogonal forms to design every aspect of this area was one of the main objectives. The purpose behind this space is for one person to occupy and effectively sustain life. The user should be able to perform standard necessities and tasks such as eating. Sleeping, and reading. In addition it was the first opportunity in our studio where we experiment with light and shadows to transform our designs.

Formal Organization This project was intentionally designed to assist in the learning of deeper architectural language: simple, but complex. This project consisted of two parts in which we were given cubes in various dimensions in order to construct a design. Being allowed to manipulate these cubes as either voids or solids helped me discover a distinct arrangement for these cubes to express the creativity in simplicity. Given a strict 10’ x 10’ x 10’ invisible barrier to work with and a required list of schemes to abide by made this project tedious. My design followed a grid scheme while incorporating points of linear hierarchy.

The Structure of Place This was the first large project given in studio. The goal of this project was to acknowledge site and environment throughout different scales of geographic landscape. Our location for the project depended on the place we held most connection to whether that was your home or another sentimental area. Every differing color of paper represented specific categories such as urban area, suburban, forest/ vegetation, physical features, and more. As one final panel, people can notice the diversity and distinction between the means of space from rural to urban.

The Urban Infill Project Although this project was halted temporarily due to the coronavirus outbreak, that did not stop us from continuing to learn and adjust to this new condition. This project, being our final one for spring of 2020, was finally our chance to visit a site (Castleberry Hill, Atlanta, GA) and generate our design. This project asked to create a unified space that included a living quarters for two designer, a workshop, a gallery/ reception space, and an additional 10,000 sq foot area. There were various factors to account for but as you will see, we covered everything from the site history to the material choice of the building.

COVID-19 might have made this project a bit more difficult since we were unable to build an actual model, however, we improvised. We rendered visuals of our project which would best help in unraveling our design and concept. This was definitely the most time consuming project yet, but it was worth every second since it improved my skill set in all Adobe programs, V-Ray, Rhino, and rendering in general.

Iterative Pavilion For our third project of the spring semester we were told to use basic design tools / transformations to formulate a pavilion-type space. The trick to this project was that were randomly assigned another studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past box project as a starting initial form. This, then would lead us to experiment various modifications such as boolean, rotate, split, make hole, and many more. We then chose our preferred design and used a software named Rhino to compose a digital version of the model. When it came to the digital processingI came in with multiple ideas in my head with a lack of understanding in how they could evolve into a coherent and clear architecture.

This was what led me to follow a structuralized pattern system that kept me at ease from reaching too far in the planning of my pavilion. This pavilion enforced the notions of hierarchy in movement, symmetrical geormetric patterning, a juxtaposition of public / private space, and the playful variation in the use of filtered light. This project tested my capability in discovering a newly introduced software, Rhino, while also retracing back to the model making portion of last semester. It was a balanced medium in practicing concpetual thinking and skills learned prior.

Precedent Analysis The second project of the spring semester had correlation to the project completed prior (Arnolfini Portrait). We were randomly assigned a famously known pavilion residence in which we, as architects, had to utilize our resources to understand and extract the entirety of the pavilion. It becomes clear that there is a progression towards the acknowledgment of design and conceptual thinking considering these past two projects tie back into the essential knowledge needed in order to reach a better sense of understanding. I was assigned the Gwathmey House by Charles Gwathmey.

The main attributes I desired to highlight consisted of the patterning of public / private space, the introduction of a spiral staircase, open terrace, and the strict geometry which was in play in the designing of this pavilion. Lastly, we were required to connect this precedent pavilion to our painting project by incorporating aspects into our rendered image. This project taught the basics of programs such as Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, and more.

Perspectival Thinking This project, being the first assigned during the spring semester, was guided towards understanding the deeper meaning and analysis of perspective amongst art. I was assigned â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Arnolfini Portraitâ&#x20AC;? as my art piece where I would then have to research and gather details found in this painting. Afterwards, we would begin learning basic construction skills to formulate the painting into a 3 dimensional layered perspective. The Arnolfini Portrait contains various elements which held symbolism such as the dog, the one dimly lit candle, the scattered shoes, and the illusion of the woman carrying a child. I distinctively separated layers by importance and depth. My layered canvas persisted of around 13 acrylic sheets which formed to create a unified piece that was clear and comprehensible.

Additional Works

Media + Modeling, Construction Tech, Environment Systems, and Architectural History This is a collection of works completed throughout various architecture-related courses. Each class varies in its unique way differing from climate dynamics to beam work construction. What this pertains are a photography based journal, climate analysis pavilions, precedent analysis, a bus stop design, and various other smaller projects. The media + modeling course, for our final project, we were given a four week deadline to complete a final poster showcasing a replica of a famouslyknown building. The one chosen by my duo group was the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion of 2002.

The architectural history course assigned a digital journal which was composed of three parts, the first being the initial documentation of architecture with the use of photography, and slowly we began choosing images which most categorized to one another and formed grouped treads based on elements found in architecture.

SPECTRUM Project Gothic Configuration Partner: Katia Riwayat

This semester long project analyzed and researched various architectural styles. We were partnered in a duo throughout the development of this project. My section focused on gothic window tracery and the curves which were extracted from those window designs. We then carried out multiple phases with these various curves in order to create sheets or fields of configurations which would eventually lead to the basic structural and physical walls of our building. This 8 - story building was programmed to be an LGBTQ+ center based in the inner heart of Chicago.

We then used unqiue techniqiues to form gaps and rooms which followed the processes seen in the inital composition of the curves. The addiiton of stained colored glass was intentionally placed as a refelective effect on the white surface which we represented as a blank canvas. The renderings are the most effetive way to express the conceptual decisions made in the development of this building.
