The work displayed in my portfolio showcases the many aspects of my design process. My approach to design focuses on the impact the built environment affects on a personal level - the experience of the user within created space, and the effect that structures can have on the betterment of community or a people as a whole.

The city of Baltimore faces a conflict of perception and reality. The perceived image of the city reflects a state of unrest, heavily nested in community relations. Systematic problems resist systemtic solutions. The built environment does not heal conflict. People heal conflict. The focus of this civic building is to create an environment that allows the citizens of the community to affect meaningful change in their community. By fostering diverse dialogue through architecture, This structure aims to aid the healing of a city in need.

Shift - the moniker of the civic building, represents its objective to foster a shift in traditional approaches to conflict resolution. The design shifts the main axis of the interior, emphasizing the key spaces of the building. Deriving their form from this shift, a series of four small meeting spaces are given main emphasis in the entry atrium of the structure. These spaces promote transparency and glorify the small meeting space as the main stage for dialogue in activism groups. The large meeting space, utilizing the same shift in axis, provides the community with a venue for presenting this discourse in a larger scale

Shift Center for Diverse Dialogue in Baltimore
The main atrium space brings natural light into the building through a skylight, eliminating the need for extensive artificial lighting. the first floor affords ample open space for galleries, promoting unrestriced displays from citiziens of the community on concerns facing the city. The second floor features a large meeting space for public forums and presentations of the work conducted in the building. A pre function space eases the entrance of users into the large meeting space and hosts receptions following forums.

The 804 utilizes principles of modular housing design, deriving its massing from three blocks of unit space. The wood of the facade carries a motif throughout the structure, visible from the street and acessible to the users up to their doorstep. each unit offers a direct interface to the street through balconies, and a rooftop Landscape on the top floor open to the public. An extensive green roof lines the top of each unit block, mitigating rainfall and passive heat gain, improving building performance.

Thread A beacon to Baltimore
In antiquity, the lighthouse served as a beacon to seafarers, ensuring safe entrance to port. they also served as landmarks to their city. This Beacon serves the same purpose to baltimore, establishing a cultural marker that is representative of the city. The skin of the structure wraps steel material starting at the ground level around the structure, weaving together into one form, much the way that the vibrant communites of baltimore weave together into one identity.
The tower offers three 360 degree view of observation. The ground floor lobby look out across mouth of the patapsco river. The first observation deck, at 160' above ground level offers views to the immediate area, and down to Fort McHenry below. The top oberservation deck provides unrestricted view to the entire city of Baltimore. The top floor shines a beacon out the glazed top floor ceiling, representing the spirit of the city.

Stabiae surveying the ancient Villa Arianna
The city of Castellamare di Stabia, located in the Bay of Naples, boasts one of the largest arrays of surviving roman villas In the summer of 2015, I conducted field surveys and created digitally drafted orographics of the villa, with a group of students on the study abroad program offered by the University of Maryland. Our class was tasked to produce a collection of work to be submitted to the Italian superintendancy, and contribute our work to the efforts of Restoring Ancient Stabiae.

The class taught a wide breadth of surveying techniques. DATE: July 9, 2015 We began by employing traditional methods - freehand measured drawing, moving into contempory methods such as Theodolite and electronic PHOTO: John Treber distancing measurement, and culminating with LIDAR, a modern technological technique utilizing laser distancing. ILLUSTRATION: John Treber these methods contributed to three dimensional models of the site, and the resulting model was employed for our digital tracing of wall elvations
Object in Void An arist's Residence within the Garden
the landscaped garden is the designer's effort to emulate nature. the architect adds order to nature to create an experience using these elements. In this hypothetical city, the garden also serves as residence to an artist's residence, with their house providing a venue for display of their own work for the community
The order of this garden establishes eight distinct rooms, each exhibiting a sculpture constructed from material available on site. The framing to the scuplture within each room creates a unique framing of the scuplture itself, varying from a close, intimate interface with the sculpture to distant framed views. the artist's residence mirrors this framing of sculpture, with a glass focal element of the house framed within the interior of the residence, and viewable from the street outside the garden.
