STUDENT CENTER (3RD YEAR)
Project Description:
A mixed use center with a mission chosen by the student, also based in
Ann Arbor
It had to include a worship space, restaurant, and residential units. The mission that I chose was anxiety and stress, because Ann Arbor is where University of Michigan is located, so I created a student center with calmness relief methods guiding my design decisions.

Beyond Walls Project
This was a mission project where a group of students from my school (Andrews University) and a group from MEU (Middle East University) traveled to the country of Jordan to paint a wall in order to reach the people in the area and create a more positive environment. This was a mission based project but I was able to learn a lot from the surrounding architecture
