The true beauty that lies with in architecture is not just in the buildings tha t stand, but the stories they tell-f rom the crumb ling stone of the Colloseum’s colonnade to the voices that echo amongst the vaults in Notre Dame de Paris. Ar chitecture encompasses the stories of our history, a practice once used for primitive sh elter now transcended into the art of tr ansmitting experience through space. Space that can be transformed by qualit ie s such as light , o r in contrast - t he absence of light; the physical or the phenomenological.But, architecture does not only rely solely on experiential qualities. It can be the great catalyst of our generation to transform citie s, alter social injustices, and improve the lives of the human ra ce through means of sculpting and shaping our built enviornment. My interpre tation of architecture is constantly evolving, along with the profession and its application. But what I most notably grasp onto is the idea that architecture is often just a story that is w aiting to be told, but e xpress ed through the tangibility of the built world around us. My hope is that through my studies and experie nces, and through the works express ed in this document, that I can add another page in the ever changing a nd pa radigm s hift ing book that is architecture.

The proposal identifies an existing issue within the city and seeks an opportunity to improve it. The project-an elderly health and wellness center is based off the assertion of the aging population of Finland and its current and anticipated strain on healthcare resources. We cannot slow age but we can improve the lives of the elderly and offset its need for extensive health care by providing exercise, therapy, rehabilitation, and social amenities that facilitate the overall wellness of an aging population. The facility located in the heart of downtown Helsinki, Finland is programmed to provide different amenities for different needs of user groups. The typology of a pool can be altered based on the lower need for lap swimming for exercise and the spatial mass can be subdivided and spread throughout the hall. The pools are programmed, like space, and are arranged where the most at risk users can be found using pools on the lower levels and more active users can circulate through space to the top of the hall. The introduction of half levels reduces the distance for the users to travel to enjoy the different pools. The fluctuating pool depths and sizes become expressed through an undulating wood ceiling and provides a sense of warmth and comfort through material expression.

Swimming facilites are often homogenous in their nature. With large lap pools that define the largest space, the support program (restrooms, changing rooms, showers) are often large and within close adjacency. When the typology of a swimming hall is challenged, the space can become anomalous and deviate from the standard. In this proposal, pools are programmed and their size and depth change based on their function. Likewise, saunas and other spaces become propotional to the amount of user traffic per pool. The pools are stacked vertically and create a unique user experience where one can circulate amongst the pools.

Much like the Original Alvar Aalto stool, the Trinity Stool draws inspiration from the simplcities of geometry. It uses the number three to manipulate the perception of depth and skew one’s understanding of balance. The stool uses three bent wire legs that are arranged in a trilateral pattern that weave in between and around each other to visually alter the position of each leg. The circular wooden seat is uncomplicated and floats atop the entangled suppor ts. The stool was also design for ease of production, minimizing the par ts and making packing and shipping easy and affordable. 2.4cm

Process of Pr oduct ion The process of making the Trinity stool has been simplified to the minimal amount of parts and actions, making the process extremly rational in a seemingly abstract interpretation of a stool. Holes are drilled for the perpendicular leg, and plates are welded to the angular leg. This allows for the legs to be easily attached and detached for ease of shipping and transport. Washers are added to the perpendicular leg to in prevent the leg from penetrating fully through the wood.

Vlore, Albania is a city with unique climatic, seasonal, and economical challenges that change based on winter and summer conditions. The Sands of Time is a proposal for a housing project that addresses these various temporal experiences. The houses are located on an ecologically sensitive beach that is prone to erosion from western winds and nor thern tidal drift. The current situation displaces the beach to a more nor thern locaton in Vlore. The proposal exists to create “sand dune housing” that will trap sand on the beach for later disbursement. The project, over time, will restore the beach from rapid erosion. The project also wishes to optimize interstitial space within units in order to foster a temporal relationship between permenant inhabitants and momentary visitors. The guests expedite temporary markets during summer months when the city is thriving with vacationers. During the day, visitors sell goods from a thickened threshold located at the front of some of the units. At night, the visitors unexpectedly occupy the same space which is just large enough to sleep comfor tably.

Pictured RIGHT is the site proposal as built one year after construction. The site fosters community space between the individual units as well as creating a community sense as a whole. It becomes a space within the city of Vlore to help foster temporaral summer spaces and markets in a shifting economy. The white lines shown on the beach in the sand and in the water are the projected san growth of the beach over time. Sand will accummulate where there is sur faces and planting and will build along these as the seasons and winds change. Pictured ABOVE is a depiction of the site proposal after many years. Some of the dwellings of the beach have been almost completely buried by sand but the beach has been restored to a condition that can be sustained and used by visitors and residents. The idea is that the dwellings become a relic of time. As they get buried, their presence becomes less known but it can inferred by humans that they once had a significant role in the restoration of Vlore’s rich coastal history.

Private companies own the towers in which the sheet becomes a comodity to generate more profit.
The Chestnuts will capture the air pollutants and solidify them into sheets of asphalt to generate additional land mass else where.

Additional landmass in public space will help educate the community to the importance of the towers and their benefits.
Like the Cheonggyecheon River Project, the park infiltrates itself into the urban region while providing social and civic demand to celebrate public space.
The symbotic relationship between the park and the air filters will eventually restore the city of Seoul to a healthy living situation
