INVESTIGATING GROUND CONDITIONS
As a formal exercise, I investigated three different ground conditions: above grade, on grade and below grade.

CULTURAL ANNEX AT THE PARK
This project is a continuation of an exploration into the modular form and modular configurations. For this cultural annex, I wanted to investigate the inherent boundary condition between the urban fabric and the park scape; therefore I arranged the individual modules in a way that created a boundary of duality. It is both artificial and natural, both park and city. The connections between the modules encourage visitors to seamlessly cross the interior-exterior boundary. The continuous undulating roof creates open spaces for maximum flexibility. The nature of the modules begin to obstruct distracting views, allowing full park views on one side and full street views on the other side.

MODULAR PUBLIC SPACE
Before developing the cultural annex in the park, I first conducted a series of explorations into the modular form. The trapezoidal forms are chosen as the module because they create a strong sense of directionality and serve to guide viewing perspectives. 24’

HOUSE OF DISTORTED VIEWS
In this project the angled walls create a house of sudden moments of compresson and expansion. It begins to distort the ways in which the subject will view the surroundings producing a sense of domestic voyeurism. Additionally, this project investigates the relationship between private and public spaces through the manipulation of circulation. The publicprivate space distinction is established vertically, not horizontally or through a planar manner.
This series of diagrams explores concepts of exhibitionism and voyeurism. They represent an investigation of how spaces can be constructed to encourage or restrict the way in which the subjects will interact. While some spaces exhibit subjects, other spaces set the subject up to be in the audience.

BICYCLE MUSEUM INSERTION
The given site is located between two existing factory buildings. The primary organizational element of the bicycle museum is the central, occupiable volume. The volume distorts the initial box form of the museum by puncturing into the ceiling and allowing the facade to wrap around it The volume also serves as an envelope that encloses and resleases people into changing spaces and floors. Since the volume is not orthogonal, it compresses and expands spaces.

AXONOMETRIC PROJECTIONS OF VILLA SAVOYE
Villa Savoye is a prime example of promenade architecture and reflects Le Corbusier’s fascination with the automobile. These drawings emphasize the blurring of interior and exterior spaces, primarily through the roof garden and the screen. The house is a floating slab suspended on a mechanical series of columns. The horizontality of this slab is juxtaposed with the penetrative vertical circulation, provided by the ramp and the spiral staircase.
CASE STUDY: RIGID FRAME GARE D’AVIGNON
This project is a precedent analysis of structural systems and enclosures. It explores the function of form and the inherent influences of the structure and technology on the design process. The primary structural system employed by the Gare d’Avignon is the steel rigid moment frame, which creates long spans and dramatic heights where people waiting at the train station ca congregate.
