This project was meant to serve as both a capstone project and a submission to the COTE Competition. This project sought to create something sustainable, technical, and human focused. The three aforementioned ideas tend to be very serious topics. I wanted to create something that meets these critieria, while being a fun and loud project. Corbusier wrote on the topic of “acceptable colors” and “decorative colors,” pink, by his terms, was a very decorative color that could never create good/functional architecture. I disagree. So I designed perforated, aluminum panels, based on existing products and vendors in the OKC area, that had a great LRV and served as the most functional part of my building. Architecture, especially in school, can be fun.

Culinary School Norman, Oklahoma In Design V, we focused on designing a culinary school on the Sourthern portion of the University of Oklahoma’s campus. This school had to host a restaurant (pictured top right), multiple class rooms, offices, teaching kitchens, and a large teaching kitchen for large lectures. The restaurant pictured to the right is based on Koolhaus’ “Delirious New York” and how, much like food, design can take people places. The exterior of this building aimed to tie into existing OU typology and materiality, while the interior sought to create a sense of fun within the user.

Equine Center Project Lake Thunderbird, Oklahoma This equestrian center is meant to be a commercial grade facility fit for twelve horses, an arena, offices, viewing areas, and tack rooms. The goal of this project was to create stalls that were both safe and comforting to the horses. Everything is centered around the arena so that a horse can always see other horses and maintain a sense of a herd while preventing behaviors like kicking, biting, and reeling that could hurt a horse or a person. This would allow the facility to be one for saddle breaking horses, weening baby horses, or anything that is required of a facility like this.

Site Context
Interior
Evening We were tasked with creating an urban farming center in downtown Ft. Worth with a sq footage of 8,000sq ft. The main function of this solution is to teach and to create pleasurable pathways that people could walk through and learn through osmosis. I felt that if I could get people to just walk through on a regular basis and grow a variety of crops to teach about diet, that my project could have a larger impact on a community like this one compared to just growing one crop. 17

Benedict Park City Submittal to Fulfill Legal Requirments Under project manager Tyler Pyle at HFG, I worked as a designer/drafter for an outpatient facility for Hillcrest. This was just to meet contractual obligations with the city to keep the park. We worked with landscape architecture firm Wallace Design Collective to in order to create a building and site plan that met the requirements in a legal contract signed by the city and hospital. This project involved a lot of communication. I communicated with my project manager, the head of design for HFG, landscape architect, and got to be a part of a meeting with the CEO of the hospital. Based on the contract, city zoning, and IBC we calculated necessary parking, maximum number of floors, and maximum square footages of each floor. Then we created a facade that both matches the materiality of the existing hospital, while creating something new and interesting. 20

Winning AIA Central Oklahoma Napkin Sketch
Based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s interest in Japanese culture, in particular their print making practices, I decided for the 2020 napkin sketch competition to showcase that fact with ink pens and Wright’s ‘Fallingwater.’ 23
White Charcoal Drawings

In my free time I like to draw using white and black charcoal on black paper. I believe this elevates the subject to showcase its elegant nature, so older architecture is the perfect subject for this medium. Pictured left is an Ise Shrine in Japan, and on the right is a pair of Corinthian columns. 25
Embroidery/Needlepoint For the past year and a half I have been experimenting with embroidery techniques. I mostly use these techniques, but like to add mediums and recycled items like sand, styrofoam, and face masks in order to create visually appealing, unique multi-medium pieces of art.
