GRAPHICS for the Building
The first course of my Architectural career and one of the defining courses which helped to set a foundation for my love of architecture and the importance that graphic design and typography would take in presenting my work. Frogtown Penthouse Loft Savannah, GA

CENTER FOR BIRD STUDY
{
Throughout the fundamentals I studio sophomore year, we worked with the kit of parts through various exercises and "shake test" after "shake test." These simple parts that in the end would influence a plan, and through investigation of patterns of repetition would create a final plan, which would than be used to design through plan and section. Creating this Center for Bird Study museum and observation tower.
The final 8x8 scheme used in a linear pattern in the final floor plan can be seen in the foreground. The influences of this piece of the plan can be seen in form and views created in the architecture as linear rays of light and shadow play together creating a strong linear view en framed with a strong envelope, illustrating what designing through plan and section creates.
Process of the creation of the plan in which the kit of
parts created a linear plan in which the negative space shown in black creates positive open spaces or the white.

Broughton

Throughout the Fundamentals 3 studio, the design intent was based upon creating a three-story building containing a ground commercial floor and upper level residences. During the process of the quarter an in depth client analysis, structural frame sizing, and a thorough site analysis were taught to be appropriately preformed and related to the design process throughout.

MY FINAL ARTICULATION
of 215 West Broughton St. lot involved a form, which derived from a rotated 32-degree site section in relation to the city of Savannah in which the site is located, while also pushing the floor plates back through diagramming the sun path angles, calculated during the site analysis. Furthermore I set the building back further from the lot line creating an open green space with a sculptural live oak tree bringing a new “square” into the materialistic shopping area of Broughton street located in the historic district famous for its green squares. The sculptural live oak was created to aid the design concept and give the savannah communal feeling while at the same time acting as a faux façade connecting datum’s of the window and roof heights of the surrounding context. The green space aids the clients needs while creating a communal feeling for the users of the commercial space, landscaped with pavers to mimic the savannah squares on the 32-degree northern axis creating areas on the green space for tables and chairs to be set.
Model shown detailing the new "Broughton Square" and structural tree canopy. The landscaped pavers serve as areas to place seating for the commercial area and are a direct representation of Telfair square directly behind the site, dissolving down to human scale for the users of the commercial area. The sculptural tree begins to twist organically mimicking a southern live oak like many of the trees situated on the historic squares, turning from faux facade into a canopy for visitors enjoying the outdoor seating space.

WILDLIFE REFUGE VISITORS CENTER
{
Throughout this fist design studio the culmination of site analysis, creation of various concepts, and a personal understanding of ADA code and affects of materiality in proper circulation were used to help aid the final outcome, which was to design a visitor’s center for the Savannah Wildlife Refuge located in Hardeeville, SC.

Site OPPORTUNITIES
• Within this site there are many trees which set some challenges in building around them, but what is most appealing is the centralized cluster of trees which I would like to try to incorporate into my design. • The flooding of the site during the rainy season is seen as an opportunity, where I can incorporate an observation deck that will be over the swamp that floods. • Given the large amounts of rainfall around the area, I would also like to incorporate the use of gray water in the buildings bathrooms.
Site CONSTRAINTS
• The first constraint on the site other than the wildlife may be the placement of the telephone pole/wires (shown in red). • With the large size of the site also comes the constraint of not to placing much of a footprint on the site by designing with less of the architecture resting on the actual site. • Another challenge I see with the parks use of dirt roads for the scenic route is the constant amounts of dust in the air from passing cars which may become a problem for free flowing air through said visitors center.
EMBRACES THE TREES OF THE SITE
The final, , in which the buildings form and plan developed from. The form is an abstraction of the southern live oak tree canopy in which the skin of the building acts as the canopy for users of the building protecting them from the elements while embracing natural light into the spaces of the building. The structural arched elements act as the “trunks” and “roots” of the building planting it into the site. The design also includes sustainable features such as a minimal building footprint which is raised fifteen feet at its highest point and held on columns which are the only points planting into the site. At the highest point, the observation deck peers out into marshland towards the southern end of the site fully experienced during the rainy seasons flooding of the marsh. Minimal site footprint and elevation the design includes ramping and ample circulation within the spaces and bathrooms embracing ADA specifications.

CHATHAM AREA
CREW HOUSE

Throughout this design studio the intent was to define the Genius Loci of the site. Through artistic observational exercises, an indepth understanding and practice of rowing I was able to feel and get a sense of the mood and feelings which were evoked by the sport and site in Thunderbolt, GA.

CONNECTION, MOVEMENT, & REPETITION
conceive the Chatham Area Rowing Association boathouse draws users in through the repetitive facade, which becomes the multi use roof and observation deck guiding the user around the outer spaces of the rowing house onto the dock easily for use during any events such as a regatta being held at the site. This rooftop deck serves not only as circulation for the outside but as a sculptural representation of the sport of rowing with eight main structural columns representative of an eight oar team in the water. This design uses an axial circulation through plan in which users can easily guide an eight rowing shell through the building without the hassle of abrupt turns. This plan allows for easily accessible spaces up to ADA standards as to make the quality of a handicap users experience through the building as pleasant and enjoyable to that of the athletes. Scenic views throughout the facility are framed while providing a cool atmosphere through the use of a louvering system on the south facing facade glazing as a consideration to sustainable design. These factors lead to a functional and enjoyable space that will match the caliber and intensity of athletes that form the Chatham Area Rowing crew team.

S.P.A.C.E.
Cultural Arts Center
{
This studio dealt with the creation of a new cultural arts center in Savannah's historic MLK Blvd. Through observation and an in-depth historical study of the site, I perceived that my design would consist of a design which could become an icon and restore the sense of community in this forgotten sector of the city.

CITY WITHIN A COMMUNITY
The concept of a the S.P.A.C.E. cultural arts center thrives on the interaction of users and visitors through solid and voids of the architecture. I envision the visitors of the center becoming a part of this existing community. Visitors will be intrigued by framed views to preexisting tree canopies, these views become voids within the plan and in-turn creating a more dynamic faรงade. The basic form of modules, integrate stacking and cantilevering within the form. It will use wide flange steel columns as long span structures, and pre-cast concrete for segments of rooftops and flooring. The facades mimic solids and voids through the materiality. Voids will be done with the use of a metal skin in a dark gun metal color. While glazing is used as a solid, through the expression of users activity being seen in circulation. This makes users seen, as a moving, living, solid skin. I believe that my design of the S.P.A.C.E. cultural arts center will integrate and restore the lively hood on MLK Blvd. and create consistent relationships on every street frontage creating a larger community over time. Causing users and visitors to create a relationship through their interactions, thus restoring a sense of pride in the local community.

The LO is a rugged, athletic, crash pad that speaks pure athleticism though the architectural form, inspired by the movement involved in the sport of surfing of which this hostel caters to. The Lo is tailored to groups of surfers or couples interested in experiencing one of natures endless playgrounds in the heart of Santa Monica, California.

The Lo in concept was a simple form
DERIVED FROM THE
SPORT OF SURFING, everything from the plan to form
evokes athleticism. The clientèle of The Lo is mainly for the surfing community and anyone interested in the sport and seeing what the city of Santa Monica, California has to offer. With such strong cultural ties to surfing and skateboarding in the surrounding areas such as Venice Beach this hotel had to be athletic, this is the reason users come to Santa Monica. The city is full with a simple life style in which is driven by whether the surf is good that day, because when the surf is good no one works. The form was derived by the three basic moves in surfing, pop-up, twist, and stabilize. With these three basics in hand the ocean truly becomes your playground, and this was my design intent. Creating a hotel/hostel, which was truly for the client and was their playground away from the water where the user can come enjoy after a day of surf.

Architecture is open ended_ Design is open ended_ And this is my statement.
Architecture and Design are much like broad open spaces with no definition, only a client and its users; this is what I love about being a designer. My architecture is not derived from personal gesture, however it does have all of my artistic investment. My architecture is appropriate to its site, defining a sense of belongingness to its community.
