Vancouver Olympic Master Plan False Creek Flats | Vancouver, BC
At the beginning of the 2015 semester, our 5th year Masters studio selected Vancouver, British Colombia as the site for the 2028 Summer Olympics. While this is a hypothetical project, we treated it like a proposal to bring the Olympics back to Vancouver. The site we choose, False Creek Flats, was once a muddy tidal flat that has turned into an industrial “eyesore� for the city. Many residents avoid the area and are not happy with how it has been developed. As an underutilized rail yard with sporadic developments, our goal was to devise a master plan for the 2028 games as well as a future 2050 urban development plan. Our hope is that this plan will serve as Vancouver’s groundwork towards developing a key area of the city. Through extensive class research and collaboration, we came up with a strong plan to move Vancouver forward. This project was incredible because of its scope of work, complexity and how it forced our entire studio to come together and work as one. This teamwork allowed us to achieve our goal and in the process, we learned that no individual is greater than the sum of the team.

CENTRAL STREET BREWERY Crossroads district | Kansas city, MO
The crossroads district in downtown Kansas City had become an underdeveloped and forgotten area for a long time. Recently, there has been an effort to bring back this funky part of KC and restore it to its former glory. Still having an industrial feel in the area, our challenge was to keep the past in mind while bringing in a state-of-the-art contemporary insertion where locals could come to enjoy a quality craft beer. This 14,000 square foot brewery in the heart of Kansas City sits on a site just south of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Also nearby is the well known tradition of First Friday where artists come to display their artwork while pedestrians flood the streets to appreciate local talents and enjoy a bite to eat.
SITE
First Iteration -Create a seamless interaction and transition between street and building -Separation of private and public spaces -Interactive and visible brewing system
Second Iteration -Spaces divided based on three parts of brewing. Behind the scenes aspect of brewing, the brewing process itself and finally, drinking the beer -Enclosed private behind the scenes spaces -Open public spaces for the enjoyment of beer -Brewing process as a backdrop to public spaces
Third Iteration -Outdoor street level beer garden allows for free flowing traffic from the street -Brewing process stretched out to a linear system to accentuate the brewing as a backdrop -Programmatic layout focusing on a vertical hierarchy of spaces from most public at street level to most private on top

Stages Theatre Renovation Montrose | Houston, TX
The Stages Theatre Renovation was part of the Summer Internship program during my time at Gensler. It was a group project with three other students from across the country that focused on group collaboration and communication. We were allotted ten days to work on the project which proved an exciting and quick time line. As a Historic Preservation project, a challenge of this project was taking the existing facade and meshing that with a new identity for the Theatre. The design intent was to provide visitors with a performance-like procession experience that allowed them to see everything that goes into the production of a play. Since performers love to put on a show, it was important to us that those who came to watch, know how hard they work and appreciate what goes into a show. For us, it was about connecting visitors with the production.

SINGLE ARTIST MUSEUM East village | new York city, NY
After visiting New York City for a week on a study tour, our challenge was to design an art museum in the northern part of East Village. This museum was to be designed for a single artist to display his or her selected works as well as providing space for future installations. The aim for this gallery was to become a vital piece in furthering the legacy of contemporary art in New York City. As an urban infill project covering 51,000 square feet in the heart of New York, it was of utmost importance to consider how the building would impact the public life of the city and how to enhance the vitality of the street.

First Iteration
Second Iteration
Third Iteration
-Separate public gallery space from private “core” system -Create an open floor plan for flexible gallery installations -Seamless transition from street to museum
-Two thinner cores binding the building instead on one large one -Allows for simplified structure, circulation and HVAC -Middle gallery spaces have open floor plans for Kapoor’s work
-Two thin binding cores continue on the top of the building creating a “wrap” around the gallery spaces -Core wrap serves as a shell around delicate art installations -Provides vertical circulation and mechanical systems on the exterior to free the inside

MANHATTAN DANCE STUDIO Downtown | Manhattan, KS
The site for our Manhattan Dance Studio was located in downtown Manhattan, KS on historic Poyntz Avenue. Lined mostly with old brick and concrete buildings, we were tasked with introducing a modern infill to reflect the dramatic change Poyntz avenue and the city of Manhattan has endured. We used a lot of mappings and historic analysis to better understand our site and past events that changed the city. The main obstacle we had to overcome was fitting 7,500 square feet of program into a site that was eighteen feet wide. This forced us to focus on circulation both vertically and horizontally.
SITE
First Iteration
Second Iteration
Third Iteration
-Service core pushed to the back to allow for maximum uninterrupted floor space -Circulation both vertically and horizontally became a problem -Too far of a distance to reach service core
-A more central service core divides the building -Private spaces in the back -Public dance spaces in the front -Vertical circulation becomes a centerpiece for spatial hierarchy and movement
-Two distinct spaces separated by vertical circulation and service -Sets up a narrative for the building to become an experience -Expected and unexpected events become clear in the separation of sides

NORTH TOPEKA YOUTH CENTER Northside | Topeka, ks
Located just North of the Kansas River, the North Topeka Youth Center was an introduction to form types. Individual precedent studies led to an understanding of four different formal typologies: elemental, cellular, figural and set piece. I focused on the cellular building type and extensive work by Renzo Piano including the Beyeler and Nasher Sculpture Garden. Located in an up-and-coming part of town, the intent of this project was to establish a safe and constructive space for elementary and middle school students to spend time after school and during the summer. An emphasis for this youth center was to incorporate activities for both physical and educational uses.

International Design Competitions Gensler Internship | Spring/Summer 2015
This submission was for an International Design Competition that I entered with a co-worker while on Internship with Gensler in Houston. The project was a Water Sports Center in Ohrid, Macedonia. Our design concept was to create a single-level facility that would not block views of the mountains while creating an ample amount of dock space on the water. These dock areas would become the launching and landing spots for kayaking, canoeing and sailing. Housed inside the glass-encased steel structure is an Olympic sized swimming pool for locals and visitors to train for Lake Ohrid’s annual long-distance swim.
Similarly to the Water Sports Center, this proposal was an International Competition that I entered with two other co-workers. This project was a Music Center in the heart of Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s most lively areas. Sitting in a dense urban environment, our main design feature was to lift the building off the ground to create a plaza-like overflow space for pedestrians. This would help alleviate a lot of the nearby congestion. The raised box would house a majority of the program including recording rooms, practice areas and a 2,000 seat concert hall.

Model Assembly
Model making has been a passion of mine since starting architecture school. I enjoy the detail and precision that goes into a presentation model and believe it can be a great tool in portraying a design. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than putting in the time to build a quality model. The following is a look into my model building process. This model was part of a precedent study I worked on for the Howard House by Brian MacKay Lyons. Completed during my second year, this was an all hand cut and assembled model.
