PAPER LANTERN
Fall 2012 Clemson University Professor Dave Lee
1
The inspiration of this project lies in a Japanese ritual that celebrates ancestral spirits. Each year people craft individual paper lanterns along with personalized messages that are then internally lit and sent to float down a river, in order to commemorate lost loved ones. For me, this project became an exercise of diagramming and an introduction to the design process and experimentation. Multiple “families� were created that followed similar aspects of paper manipulation. As a designer, creating these families challenged me to explore all parameters and possibilities. Moving forward, we were encouraged to choose a family to advance towards a fully articulated lantern. 2

DIAGRAMMING THE FOLDS The design process is a JOURNEY. Progress is achieved through ITERATIONS and EXPLORATION.
RAISING ARIZONA
Fall 2012 Fall 2012 Clemson University Clemson University Professor Dave Lee Professor Dave Lee
This project drew inspiration from the 1987 film Raising Arizona. Analyzing the film and pulling aspects from the narrative was the first step toward designing a conceptual pavilion in the form of a spatial experience. The initial study of the film began with a method called cinemetrics, a diagram of camera frames in relation to position and time. Additionally, a design palette was developed composed of emotions, materials, and symbols from the film. After defining this palette I began designing a series of individual sections that were meshed together using different tectonic techniques. The resulting design was a spatial pavilion that was derived from the film.

The primary inspiration for the pavilion was based on a single clip that occurred halfway through the film when the antagonist is revealed for the first time. The intimidating character is introduced piece by piece vertically and at different positions traversing through a store. The idea of a simple, singular figure being fragmented and repeated through a path became the basis of my design.

GENOA MUSEUM
Fall 2013 Genoa, Italy Professor Nick Ault
This project took place during a semester abroad in Italy. Essentially, there was a semester-long investigation into representative methods, such as Analytiques from the French school of Beaux-Arts, and the bold paintings of Futurists calling for Italian Revolution. In addition, supporting courses gave insight into Italian history and architectural evolution. Finally, we were challenged to design a museum that combined the history of war and peace in Italy and offered a symbolic monument. The subjects of the museums and monument were left to our own created narrative, including the individual artifacts to be displayed. Partners: Yuxiang Jiang, Paul MacKnight
Architecture can serve as a NARRATIVE. TELL A STORY
ABOVE. A time lapse of the Genoa, Italy studying the growth of the harbor and its effect on our site which, at one point, was situated along the coast, but now sits aback a prominent drop-off. LEFT. The city possessed a dichotomy of historical urban planning strategies; restriction to a grid and a more organic growth.
Several series of site analysis drawings were performed according to a Beaux-Arts style of ‘Analytique’. A collection of these drawings were then overlapped digitally, through a set of evolving parameters, to produce several distinct compositions. This mosaic of drawings, for example, was created by aligning the center points of the piazza and maintaining the established axis but totally disregarding scale. Several of these compositions were created and then analyzed aesthetically as well as their ability to maintain a readily identifiable reference to the site.
From the previous compositions certain lines or curves were extrapolated and explored as both futurists paintings and three dimensionally, using a set of parameters unique to each one. The result of this process was a set of models that reflected all six analytiques originally created and an architectural abstraction of the site.
PROGRAM Part of the design scope for this project was choosing the artifacts for the museum. Our narrative took the shape of a linear timeline describing the events leading up to WWII and the cultural climate afterwards. As such, the first museum was dedicated to the work of Italian Futurists and several pieces of Fascists propaganda. Then, the visitor will arrive to the war memorial, an intimate space that serves as a monument to the war. The final gallery revolved around the economic boom experienced in Italy after the war and include pieces of advertisement, particularly ones completed in a pop-art style.

SITE The site allocated for this project is located at the tip of a wide, tree-lined avenue called Via Corsica. The top level piazza offers a nice view into the harbor and is completely open with a thin perimeter of benches and trees. The bottom site is dark, overgrown, and all together undesirable and inaccessible. The entirety of the place is surrounded by noisy car traffic and has been relatively forgotten.

POP-UP TENT Spring 2014 Clemson University Professor Bo Garland
This project was a response to a competition created by AIA Chicago. They called for a new “pop-up tent” to replace the tailgate structures we have become accustomed to. Specifically the competition was targeted towards farmer’s markets in Chicago where local produce and crafts are sold in the street. The design included a $500 budget and the inability to be connected to the ground, along with the respect for strong winds present in Chicago. The focus of this tent was certainly tectonic exploration along with material investigation. Partners: JJ Nemetz, Taylor Smith

CONSTRUCTION
PROBLEM At certain times throughout the day the owner of a standard pop-up tent may have to be outside of the structure in order to benefit form the shade it provides due to the position of the sun. Also the current tent without proper anchoring to the ground is at risk of failing with strong winds.
$ FORM MEETS FUNCTION
CONCEPTS Incorporating similar techniques found in origami provides a less complex method and more economical action of collapsing and expansion. Triangulation provided the additional structural strength needed to uphold against strong winds and also utilizes angular planes that provide consistent shade and adjustable protection. GOALS To develop a new pop-up tent that maintains structural integrity independently, succeeds in providing consistent protection and shade, achieves material economy, competes with price of the standard pop-up tent, and includes materials that are both readily available and eco-friendly.

PRE-CAST HIGHLINE Fall 2014 Clemson University Professor C. Barrios
This design was generated from various studies of tessellations and how they could possibly apply to the pre-cast concrete industry. After initial exploration, we were challenged to apply the 2D articulations to a structure developed of pre-cast components. To be specific, our site was located near the end of the Highline (phase 3) in NYC and was to be a residential tower. I decided to explore the idea of pre-cast “additive� pieces that were more than aesthetic facade assembly, but functional catalogues that could transform a space. 55.7O

SITE ANALYSIS The proposed site was located at a planned addition of the highline facing the water. The massing of the residential tower aimed at capitalizing on sunlight and water views, as well as complimenting the Highline with mixed-use at the lower levels.
INSPIRATION I began the study of tessellations with inspiration from the first project in this portfolio. I wanted to explore the shape more. The geometry I arrived at was derived from alternating arcs of tangentially touching circles.

CHILDREN’S THEATRE
The SC Children’s Theatre was my last undergraduate project. The program called for a dynamic space, one that was suited for an educational environment for small children, but that also needed to function as a full-service theatre that both patrons and kids could enjoy. The site lied in Greenville, SC and we were prompted to maintain a regional identity and to activate a somewhat lacking street front. The semester long studio was also a competition between all the senior architecture students of which I was selected as a finalist.

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT My response to the site and program was an analogy to the unique urban fabric that makes downtown Greenville so special. Two separated “districts” composed the education and patron environments. A “green vein” split the site and served to simulate the Reedy River downtown. The “canopy”, then, became my Liberty bridge, which serves as a landmark in Greenville,SC, and connected the two programs while simultaneously adding an element of nature, indicated by a large tree-like column and materiality. The canopy also dissected the green vein, created an Street Presence while also maintaining a more intimate active street-scape that contributed to the urban context and protected space at the back of site for children. The “Pocahontas Tree” was a concept of what exactly the central lobby could be, essentially presenting the large column as a whimsical item for children to enjoy and cherish.

REFUGEE CENTER
My first project in graduate school was geared towards the AIA Cote Top Ten competition. The competition focused on exploring sustainability in architecture. Our studio prompt involved another growing problem in the world, housing refugees. In particular, the challenge was to design an integration center that could fit into a highly dense and urban environment. We were given six sites to explore in Madrid, Spain and provide a sustainable response. Our design focused on an unused plaza in which we placed three contextual urban separated blocks of programming that were strung together by an open air breezeway. This strategy served both the sustainable goals of the competition and a social goal of integration. Partner: Cameron McRae

DESIGN FOR CHANGE By reflecting existing urban strategies involving commercial and public programming at lower levels and housing above, this facility can be easily affixed to life in Spain after the refugee crisis.
The street and plaza compose the primary spaces for community interaction within Madrid’s urban fabric. By replicating these environments within the center, refugees can comfortably experience Spain’s culture and be encouraged to interact among each other and locals. In this way, circulation between the contextual blocks becomes the method of integration.

HABITAT HIWASSEE
Spring 2019 Clemson University Prof. David Franco
The goal of this project was to address the affordable housing crisis afflicting rural America. Specifically, our studio focused on Hayesville, NC, a small town tucked away in a scenic Appalachian landscape. We had the unique opportunity to visit and collaborate with an organization operating in the city and provide designs that tackled the complex issue of housing. My proposal revolved around a social housing development that would additionally perform as a public asset to the community at large. By creating a river-side park and containing strategic programming, the public is encouraged to interact with social housing participants which, historically, have been typically isolated.

INSPIRATION
FINDING FORM
CREATING A REGIONAL, MODERN IDENTITY This project takes influence from jambled structures of historical industry as a means of organization. Furthermore, form was inspired by the humble barn structures that dot the landscape and denote the agriculture that once shaped life. These aesthetics combine to create a distinct identity for Hayesville that’s rooted in a regional context and provides opportunity to be further explored as the Appalachia continues to be revitalized.
RIVERSIDE PARK
PUBLIC YARD
HIWASSEE OPEN-AIR MARKET The community market located at the southern extremity of the site is analogous to the barnhouse in Appalachian culture, both in its physical separation from the housing facility and the fluidity of programmatic opportunists it offers. As such, the form is also inspired by a classic barn form. The structure celebrates and promotes the prevalence of informal economies and trading of goods and services among residents of Hayesville, offering a center for such activities that also serves as a head-mark for the riverside park. This suggestion also provides an example for the potential community spaces that currently dot the landscape in the form of dilapidated barns.
ARCHITECTURE AS LANDSCAPE The mountains of the Appalachia provide inspiration for an architecture that reflects such a dynamic landscape, in terms of form and navigation.

The housing plans for Habitat Hiwassee are intended to host a variety of residents, including locals in need of affordable housing and potential renters. Hayesville currently lacks a sizable availability of short term rental properties which could be used to increase tourism and catalyze economic growth. In addition, mixed-use programming is included to attract these people. Thus, participants in the affordable housing program will have access to better facilities and program opportunities given the inclusion of commercial properties. Creating an Observatory

Phase one provides plans for 12 residential units and 20 beds. Overall, there are 6 plan options, mostly regarding 1 BA/ 2 BA layouts. Two of the units in particular provide prestigious square footage and views. These units, along with others could be marketed/rented as a means for growing the funds for the remaining phases. The first phase also begins to incorporate expansive community space meant to instill the premise and features of the remaining complex. The phase also considers the completion or partial completion of the riverside park, which will ultimately be attractive to future buyers/ renters.

IMMERSE & ESCAPE
Fall 2018 Clemson University Prof. Ufuk Ersoy
The technique of collage, the art of surrealism, and the capacities of skeptical architecture to mold ideas and teach lessons were all a part of what I would consider the most unique project I encountered in graduate school. The images shown here were accompanied and informed by a fair-tale of my imagination. The first line of this narrative reads, “I dreamt I was drowning.” It goes on to paint a picture of a utopian city, intended to allude to Charleston, SC, and the tragedy that engulfs the city as they continue to build higher walls and push for exclusivity. In a complex and metaphoric way, this project attempts to exaggerate the social and cultural issues facing one of the oldest cities in America, including present-day gentrification, the threat of rising sea levels, and a dark history of slavery.

Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries’ mission is to work with local communities in the Central Plateau of Haiti to develop sustainable solutions that improve quality of life. Since its inception as an organization, CEDC has been at work in Cange, most notably constructing and operating a sustainable freshwater infrastructure that provides clean water to some 20,000 people in the area. The presence of CEDC in Cange continues to evolve and has begun conceptualizing their own headquarters, in the form of a Center of Excellence. This center was the subject of our comprehensive studio, the bookend to my graduate experience and final academic project. This semester long project required deep study and pursuit of systems including structural, mechanical, and methods of sustainability. The unique opportunities and restrictions we encountered during the design process culminated in an exciting and thoroughly detailed project for the CEDC to assess and learn from moving forward. The following pages display the final boards, as presented for comprehensive review and CEDC consideration. Partner: Byron Jefferies

ABOUT CEDC Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries’ mission is to work with local communities in the Central Plateau of Haiti to develop sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life through interdisciplinary studentled initiatives that embody our core values in partnership with Clemson University, non-profit organizations, and industry. Since its inception as an organization, CEDC has been at work in Cange. The most notable project to date was the construction and operation of a sustainable freshwater infrastructure, which provides clean water to some 20,000 people in the area through nine public fountains positioned throughout the town. The presence of CEDC in Cange continues to evolve and is now beginning to conceptualize their own headquarters, in the form of a Center of Excellence.
OPPORTUNITIES Showcase building and environmental technologies Provide collaboration space for local organizations Connecting to adjacent facilities as teachable moments
PREMISE The Center of Excellence should operate as a showcase for the CEDC, community efforts, and creative technologies for resilient life in Haiti.

CREATIVE INQUIRY
Summer 2014Spring 2015 //2017 - present Clemson University
The summer before my senior year at Clemson University I accepted a position as the Creative Director for Creative Inquiry, a campus-wide research program under the Undergraduate Studies department of Clemson University. I jointly lead a program called Adobe Scholars, a partnership between Adobe and Clemson University that sought to teach students from all disciplines the benefits of being able to use programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My primary responsibility was to organize a team of students in the creation of an annually published magazine called Decipher. I also acted as the Chief Graphic Designer for the magazine and directed a team that included writers, editors, a photographer, and a graphic design assistant. In addition, I produced several other graphics promoting the program, as well as two digital interactive publications. When I enrolled into graduate school I resumed my position with Creative Inquiry and continue to practice graphic design.
INFOGRAPHICS Throughout my work with Creative Inquiry I’ve produced a number of graphics dedicated towards promotion and education of the program, as well as material for national conferences, such as Adobe MAX.
COVER The cover of Decipher 2015 celebrated the Solar Decathlon project at Clemson which included several Creative Inquiry teams.

The team’s first step was spent in the field at night time, conditioning barred owls living in urban, suburban and forested areas to trust them. By luring the owls with food, they would catch, measure, and tag them. GPS telemetry devices were placed on the owl’s leg to monitor locations. Determining the location of the owls allowed the team to verify the home ranges and compare them with urban and forest birds.

question. “For a predator to exist, the environment has to be doing very well. When a barred owl lives in a specific area, it is an environmental indicator that predicts how well the ecosystem is doing.” Clement said. Due to the fact that predators such as barred owls need a healthy environment with plenty of prey to thrive, their ability to adapt is a strong indicator of the overall health of the urban environment that barred owls are now occupying.
A successful element behind this project has been the willingness of homeowners to assist. To properly study the barred owl’s urban environment, the team must access private property with homeowner’s cooperation and permission. Many families are interested in this Creative Inquiry and want to know how they can help create habitats to encourage the barred owls to move into a more urban environment. The endearing nature of these creatures has allowed families across the Piedmont region of South Carolina to find a new sense of connection with the ecosystems in their backyards.
Clements is excited for what the future will bring for her team. “Next year, students will train, trap and track owls themselves.” Clements said. The close relationship between student and owl will hopefully provide students with a more detailed analyses of owl behavior as well as giving them the opportunity to gain valuable research skills. The data collected from the barred owls will allow the students to compare and contrast data from owls in different habitats. With the help of this Creative Inquiry, we will have a better understanding of barred owls and their behaviors. Seeing one of these creatures downtown may become the norm in the near future.

s I walk through downtown after a long night in the library, I hear eight distinctive hoots that harmonize into what almost sounds like the phrase, “who cooks for you, who cooks for you all” coming from a tree above me. Puzzled at first, I look up into the trees and catch a glimpse of the bird who is making the unique noise. This mottled brown-gray bird with horizontal streaks running up and down its body looks out of place in an area that is better known for its lively student nightlife than wildlife resources. Yet here I stand, making eye contact with this beautiful barred owl.

Led by graduate student Marion Clement from the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation, the Studying Barred Owls in an Urban to Forest Landscape Gradient Creative Inquiry team is looking to determine why an animal that was once associated with living in old growth forests is now inhabiting urban settings. The team started their research through a hands-on process in their field of wildlife ecology.

he lionfish met their match when consumed by the insatiable devastation of Hurricane Irma. During the September 2017 category 4 storm that ravaged much of America’s eastern coast, the Florida Keys became the center of immense devastation as the hurricane barreled across inland U.S. Irma’s destructive impact led to hundreds of sunken boats in the Atlantic that have left lingering oil and sewage spills into the ocean even a year after the storm passed.

biological magnifigation
According to Hurk, the primary goal for this project is to “see if we can use the lionfish as a monitoring species.” Hurk is hopeful that when the prospect of an oil spill arises, either caused by a hurricane or oil tanker mishap, researchers will now be able to go out, collect lionfish, and measure the extent of the effects that the oil spill made, based on the creature’s toxicological response to it. This Creative Inquiry project has been afforded the unique opportunity to examine the lionfish up close with no catch restriction, due to the species' growth and insatiable diet. “That’s the whole point of this Creative Inquiry project”, Hurk states, “is to find out when the lionfish are exposed to oil compounds, what is their response? What can we measure in the fish as a response to the oil compound?” Hurricane Irma demolished nearly 25% of homes in the Florida Keys and along the Atlantic coast, while leaving nearly 6.9 million households without power. Despite the dilapidated conditions on the surface, Hurk is happy that at least the aquatic world and creatures below the sea were left relatively unharmed, allowing for this endeavor to be possible. Through proper biochemical analysis of lionfish and the toxicological reaction they have to harmful oil spills, this Creative Inquiry project will provide a never before-seen look inside the detrimental ecological effects of oil and fuel to the undersea environment.

Harmful substances like pesticides accumulate in higher concentrations in higher trophic levels
The storm has potentially affected many undersea creatures by exposing them to the harmful toxicological effects of the released fuel. One creature in particular, the lionfish, has become a central interest to Dr. Peter Van den Hurk, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, leads a Creative Inquiry project examining whether the lionfish became adversely affected by the fuel and oil. “The lionfish are voracious feeders, and they grow fast. They eat an enormous amount of small fish”, Hurk states.

A microscopic VIEW OF OYSTERS by Niko Hajimihalis
O
ysters are known for their unique taste, but Clemson Univeristy’s Ocean Under the Magnifying Glass - Using Microscopy to Understand the Impacts of Climate Change Creative Inquiry team is here to show that these small creatures have much more to offer. Oysters are a key variable in the coastal ecosystem: they protect beaches from rising sea levels; they are natural filters in the ocean; and they provide a home for other underwater creatures. Unfortunately climate change may be affecting these creatures in ways that marine biologists had never planned for. The project, led by Dr. Vera Chan and Dr. Andrew Mount from the Department of Biological Sciences, approaches the study of oyster shell formation through microscopy. By examining the the formation of oyster shells through a microscope, students are able to study how climate change can potentially affect oysters. The team started by cultivating wild Atlantic oysters, Crassostrea virginica, in an artificial recirculating seawater system. that contained water with high levels of carbon dioxide. “We have created a mini ocean and hatchery in Clemson,” Chan said. By replicating the ocean’s ecosystem, the team has been able to monitor spawning in the oysters and track abnormalities during shell formation.
Subheading?// Caption
Through the use of this method, the team is able to closely monitor the oyster shell’s growth, development and calcification. It has allowed for a close analysis of how high carbon dioxide levels that are typically found with climate change affects oysters - as well as being beneficial in other manners. “You may find other applications from researching how the shell develops that are unrelated to this project. Whether that be industrial applications or using microscopy in other fields, it could benefit research in different fields” senior biological sciences major Jonathan Stewart said. The study of these oysters may have wide ranging benefits that even the Creative Inquiry team did not expect to learn upon the outset of this project. From this point forward the team continues to spawn the oysters both naturally and artificially. The Creative Inquiry team will continue to collect samples to analyze and be able to produce a clear conclusion on how high carbon dioxide levels in water affects shell formation. While it is clear that oysters have not been immune to the negative effects of climate change, time will show how climate change effects oysters on a microscopic level. By creating and studying an artificial mini ocean in Clemson, this team has helped protect our real oceans from climate change. In the future this research will help protect oysters from climate change and keep a crucial part of our ecosystem thriving. Similar to how oyster lovers crack open their favorite seafood before consumption, this Creative Inquiry team has begun to crack open the study of shell formation.

CUTE AGGRESSION
by john jacobs
I
t is January 9, 2017, and Clemson just won the College Football Playoff National Championship. Cheering and celebration fills the stadium. Fans and players jump up and down, screaming and smiling. Many even shed a tear. Why do people have the urge to cry when they are excited or when something incredible happens? Or have the urge to squeeze babies’ faces when they think they are cute? Although some may believe emotion and expression are synonymous, they, in fact, are opposites in many instances. The term “happy tears” is the urge to cry accompanied by the feeling of excitement or happiness. However, Dr. Oriana Aragon of the Department of Marketing, calls this a dimorphous expression; experiencing such intense emotion that, in turn, produces the exact opposite reaction. In her words, dimorphous expressions are “two physical displays that manifest from a single emotional experience”. Aragon’s Creative Inquiry, Research into emotion and its expression, is focused on investigating emotions and expressions and applying her research to marketing efforts. She works with a select group of students to further her emotion exploration. Dimorphous expressions are experienced in many types of emotions — aggression when a sports team secures a win, fear when meeting a celebrity or laughing when frightened. By understanding this phenomenon, Aragon's research can be opened up to a variety of contexts in society such as mental illness, sports analysis, and brain capacity. Aragon’s interest with dimorphous expressions, a term she coined herself, all started with a late-night T.V show with host Conan O’Brien and guest Leslie Bibb. Bibb was talking about puppies, exclaiming, “They are just so cute! I just want to kick them in the head!” Dr. Aragon immediately took notice of that strange comment, wondering for herself, why so many times, someone’s face does not match he or
Through her Creative Inquiry, she hopes her team of students can help to uncover how certain people fit under the consumer umbrella based on their emotions and expressions. This team believes consumer behavior focuses on the emotional and internal state of one person as well as how that affects their choices of products. Many will agree that the most remarkable part about Creative Inquiries is the involvement that the students have. Aragon goes above and beyond by dividing her team into five groups that each focus on one specific aspect of the Creative Inquiry’s research. Teams 1 through 4 (the Baseline team, the Dimorphous Expressions in Marketing team, the Model team, and the EEG team) are dedicated to evaluating and defining expressions and determining their connection to marketing. Team 5 focuses on a specific case of dimorphous expression: “cute aggression” (the human reaction to infantile stimuli).
of subjects to see how they will react. Finally, the EEG team analyzes these same subject’s reactions and identify specific stimuli reactional changes in the brain. Dimorphous expressions can often be very powerful. When used in advertising, businesses are able to connect with their consumers on a deeper level than a typical advertisement normally would if it were to use traditional tactics. Aragon and her team of research-hungry students strive to determine how expressions can differ from emotions and at the same time, strengthen them. By discovering why certain consumers buy certain products based on certain advertisements that certain companies present is a very difficult aspect of many marketers. Dr. Aragon believes that by utilizing dimorphous expressions in marketing, companies can create a stronger and more personal connection to their desired consumer. At the end of the day, this can make marketing a much more targeted effort. “As the marketer, you can see someone using the product, and get an idea of what that product experience is like, what attributes of product is like, get an idea of what they might prefer,” Aragon describes. If a marketer can gauge how a consumer will react to their advertisement, they will better sell their product to a target audience. Emotions are universal, felt by everyone in every moment of every day. However, although they are felt universally, they are the very thing that makes each person unique. Dr. Aragon and her team of students is paving the way for a greater understanding of how people see and feel the world around them. By continuing to uncover associations between emotions and their congruent (or incongruent) expressions, marketers can focus their advertising on the customers that will buy their products. Thanks to Dr. Aragon, wanting to squeeze a cute dog has a reason behind it. So, next time you see a cute dog, don’t feel guilty for wanting to squeeze it!
Any subheading we may want to add
Beginning with the Baseline team, this team focuses on testing the association between particular emotions and expressions. For example, determining why crying is solely associated with sadness, when it can be a reaction stemming from anger or happiness. Next is the Dimorphous Expressions in Marketing Team. This team’s main concern is determining the background of association between emotion and expression for the Baseline Team and how this association is presented in marketing. The Model Team does exactly what their name supplies: they create a model in the form of short videos showcasing individual’s demonstrating certain expressions. These videos are shown to a sample

As a result of the Habitat Hiwassee studio, a developer in the Hayesville area hired me to help him market an attractive piece of land in town. Together, we were able to establish a conceptual program; a 75 bedroom hotel that also integrated a small exhibit dedicated to the historical significance of the site, being that it was part of the Native American Trail of Tears. The following schematic design is now being used to market the property and entice incentives from local government.
