the cropstop “Crop Stop� is a joint venture between Clemson University and the College of Charleston. It is a component of the South Carolina farm-to-school initiative, wherein schools invest in their local communities with their food dollars, allowing for locally grown food stuffs to span across the agriculture trade, and healthy habits to take root. We were tasked to design and build this project within the 16 weeks of the semester. This is quite the task for 6 undergraduates and 1 graduate student. Yet, through hard work and perseverance, we managed to complete the exterior in the time frame. Location: John's Island, South Carolina Time Period: 16 weeks Partners: Shawn Backstrom, Nicolas Caros, Paul Mosher, Nolan Rish, Jamie Russell, Chris Smith 1

concrete module Concrete is a very common material used in architecture today. However, pre-cast concrete is still quite underutilized because of the way it is manufactured. So, we were tasked to design an architectural element that could be made repeated through pre-cast methods. Location: Clemson, South Carolina Time Period: 10 weeks

haiku house The Haiku House was a practice of simplicity in design and thought process. As we designed, we kept a haiku we wrote in mind about architecture. A shell, empty Open for life and family Inhabit the space Location: Clemson, South Carolina Time Period: 6 weeks Program: 3 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths Square Footage: 2000 sq. ft.

Solar panels are installed on the roof to collect energy for the house and community.
The wood slat screen that surrounds the house has several functions to it. It acts as a privacy screen in the more intimate spaces and a sun screen in the more public areas.
The timber beams are connected with bolts through both the beams and columns. Bracing the house vertically and horizontally.

YWCA COMMUNITY CENTER The YWCA is a historically important institution that empowers communities through its social outreach programs. For almost 50 years the YWCA has served this community of Charleston. The new facility and location we were given the task to design had to allow the YWCA to broaden their programs and outreach to the region. Location: Charleston, South Carolina Time Period: 2 weeks Partners: Henry Lee III

The biggest challenge of this project was the time restriction we had for designing. So we kept the programming as simple as possible and created a well organized plan. Then the exterior facade could begin to give the building some character and useful sun control.

Being our comprehensive project, every detail of the building had to be thought out and solved within the 16 weeks of the semester.

acsa steel competition The ACSA has annual architectural competitions for student to participation in. As a studio, we were given the task to choice one and compete in it. The steel competition interested use because it was the most open to new ideas, we could choose the site and program, giving us freedom to design in a fun, creative way.

The living wall As a freshman project, the Living Wall was quite a daunting task. Creating a modular unit, connecting to neighboring units on either side, and constructing it would seem to be a project for more "experienced" students. Yet, we took it on and created an installation to be proud of. Location: Griffis Sculpture Park Buffalo, New York Time Period: 16 weeks Program: 3 Sleeping Areas, 1 Sitting Area Original Volume: 6'x6'x8' (Cut and shifted twice) Partners: Mark Brooks, Ramses Gonzalez, Danielle Krug, Sarah Mailloux, Matt Pearson, Mark Velocci

work experience 73
corning incorporated 4.10. The work I did with Corning Incorporated and Stantec was a great experience for a young architect. Most of the projects I worked on are confidential due to Corning Inc’s policies, however, some aspects of the projects I worked on include: -Fire Safety and Code -Acoustics (New section of Building Standards) -Surveying -Construction Documents -BIM (White Page) -In-Field Experience (Minimum of 3 hours a day in the field)
Noise Compliance Recommendations
Noise is a very important aspect of living and working conditions. It can adversely affect an employee’s concentration and productivity. Through these considerations, we hope to create an efficient and productive environment with a comfortable noise level for all Corning employees. By referencing the information compiled below, we are trying to strike a balance between design and cost extremes of providing an environment that is either too noisy or too quiet for the application. On either end of the spectrum, the environment can be uncomfortable and result in a loss of productivity. Therefore, these noise compliance guidelines can be used to help find the middle zone, and create a cost effective, performance based working environment.

novus architects The work I did with Novus Architects really opened my eyes to what an architecture firm is like. I worked on several projects with them including: -Healthcare -Business -Residential Below are Revit components I made to help outfit a rehabilitation gym in a hospital Novus was working on.

travel Travel is very important for anyone interested in architecture and culture. Visiting places in both the United States and abroad has given be new perspectives and inspiration for design and life. These are a few places I have been, and would like to share my memories of.
