SITE
THIS FREESTANDING LONG-TERM ACUTE CARE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA ON COMPLEX. THE DESIGN’S MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY FOR EACH OCCUPANT THROUGH THE IMPL SPACES, THE INCORPORATION OF A CENTRAL HUB, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR A FLEXIBILITY OF CHOICE. THE STRUCTURE IS C CORE SPACE. THE FRONT ENTRY FACADE, WHICH LIES ON THE LARGER MASS, SERVES AS THE INPATIENT TOWER AND ALSO H FUNCTIONS. IT SITS UPON GROVE ROAD TO GIVE USERS EASE OF ACCESS. AS YOU ENTER THE BUILDING, THE LOBBY MOVE WHICH FOLLOWS A DIRECT PATH THROUGH THE CENTRAL CORE TO THE SMALLER MASS WHICH HOUSES THERAPY AND OUTP AND MORE PUBLIC THERAPY FUNCTIONS ARE ORIENTED AROUND THE CENTRAL CORE AND LOOK OUT ONTO THE NATUR THERAPY SPACES.

A KEY PART TO THE PROJECT IS ITS CENTRAL CORE AND HOW THAT HELPS ACHIEVE ITS GOAL OF COMMUNITY. BOTH MASSES INTERSECT AT THIS CONJUNCTION WHICH ALSO HOLDS PUBLIC, PATIENT, AND SERVICE ELEVATORS, MAKING IT THE MAIN HUB FOR BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CIRCULATION. THE FACADE IN THIS AREA IS GLASS CURTAIN WALL, SIMILAR MASS Approach TO THE FACADE ON THE THERAPY MASS, EXCEPT IT Design IS MADE UP OF VARIOUS COLORS OF STAINED GLASS. THESE LARGE GLASS FACADES ALLOW FOR VISIBILITY THROUGH THE BUILDING AND OUT INTO NATURE WHILE LETTING NATURAL LIGHT PENETRATE INSIDE. FURTHERMORE, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE FOR NOTIONS OF PRIVACY AND A WAY TO SHADE MASS INTERIOR SPACES, THE INTERIOR OF THE THERAPY MASS HAS A SLANTED GLASS WALL AT THE EDGE OF BOTH THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS WHICH CREATES A SPACE OF VARYING HEIGHTS, ALLOWING USERS TO EXPERIENCE PROSPECT REFUGE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A EXPANSIVE SYSTEM OF COLORFUL VERTICAL ALUMINUM ELEMENTS THAT AIDS IN PROVIDING ADD THE FEELING BEING A PART OF AN ADULT PLAYGROUND. THESE VERTICAL ELEMENTS WRAP Design Approach AROUND THE BUILDING AND ALLOW ALL PERIMETER WALKWAYS TO MASS ACT AS INTERSTITIAL, ADD MASS Design Approach INDOOR / OUTDOOR SPACES. EACH PERIMETER WALKWAY LEADS TO THE CENTRAL HUB WHICH GIVES ACCESS TO AN OUTDOOR THERAPY GARDEN. THE GARDEN EXTENDS OUT INTO THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, ALLOWING USERS TO INTERACT WITH VEGETATION TENDED TO BY PATIENTS AS WELL AS THE NATURAL WATER FEATURE PROVIDED BY THE SITE. 2 ROTATE MASS IN THE INTERIOR, IN NON-DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACES, THERE IS AN INTERSTITIAL FLOOR THAT HOUSES MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND SERVES AS A CIRCULATION SPACE.

THIS PATIENT ROOM WAS DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE PATIENT AND STAFF CONTROL, COMFORT, AND WAYFINDING WHILE INCREASING CONNECTIONS TO NATURE AND ALLOWING FOR AN ADAPTABLE, FLEXIBLE ENVIRONMENT. THESE GOALS ARE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A SIMPLE, CLEAN FLOOR PLAN, A SLANTED WALL WHICH LEADS TO THE INBOARD, HEADWALL BATHROOM ALLOWING FOR ENHANCED PATIENT VISIBILITY, AND DECENTRALIZED NURSING STATIONS, AMONG OTHER ELEMENTS. THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE ROOM IS THE HEADWALL / FOOTWALL STRUCTURE THAT WRAPS UP THE WALL AND ALONG THE CEILING WITHIN THE PATIENT ZONE. IT INCLUDES A SYSTEM OF PANELS THAT SERVE AS SPLASHES OF COLOR, ACOUSTICAL INSULATION, AND VISUAL AND TEXTURAL INTEREST. WHEN TURNED OFF, THE HD LED TV PANEL SECTION OF THE STRUCTURE CAN SIMULATE THE EXISTING PUNCTUATED PATTERN. COVE LIGHTING WRAPS DOWN THE STRUCTURE’S SIDES AND ALONG THE CEILING IN ADDITION TO WITHIN EACH SOFFIT IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY HARSHNESS OF DIRECT DOWNLIGHTING. MY MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROJECT WERE CREATING AND REFINING THE FLOOR PLAN, REFLECTED CEILING PLAN, AND ELEVATIONS; RESEARCHING MATERIALS, FIXTURES, AND GUIDELINES; CREATING ALL FINAL DRAWINGS; AND PUTTING TOGETHER ALL PRESENTATIONS.

PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION MAJOR ROADWAY BUS STOPS
THIS PROJECT CENTERS AROUND THE CONCEPT OF PERFORATION AND EXECUTING IT THROUGH DESIGN STRATEGIES THAT INCLUDE ADAPTIBILITY, CONNECTION, AND NUTURING. LOCATED ON THE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS NEAR MANY STUDENT HOUSING STRUCTURES, THIS PROJECT IS COMPOSED OF TWO INTERSECTING MASSES THAT ARE ORIENTED IN RESPONSE TO THE SURROUNDING SITE CONDITIONS. THE PUBLIC MASS ANGLES ITSELF TOWARDS A BUSTLING INTERSECTION, ALLOWING PEDESTRIAN USERS TO HAVE EASIER ACCESS INSIDE, WHILE THE CLINICAL MASS IS ORIENTED ALONG THE VEHICULAR ACCESS ENTRY ROAD TO ALLOW FOR EASIER ACCESS FOR MOTORIZED VEHICLES. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS NOTION OF PERFORATION, THE PUBLIC MASS IS COMPOSED OF A FACADE MADE UP OF FOLDING WALL PANELS. THIS MASS IS ABLE TO BE COMPLETELY OPEN, COMPLETELY ENCLOSED, OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED USE WHICH OSCILLATES ON A SCALE OF “EVERYDAY USE” TO “SURGE EXPANSION”. INSIDE ARE FOLDING PARTITIONS THAT CAN FURTHER SECTION OFF THE SPACE. IN ADDITION TO USING THE FOLDING WALL PANELS AND INTERIOR PARTITIONS TO DIRECT USER CIRCULATION, THE CLINICAL MASS IS COMPOSED OF A SERIES OF DOORS ON THE SOUTHEASTERN PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING THAT ALLOW FOR OUTDOOR PATIENT QUEUEING. THE QUEUE LEADS DIRECTLY TO INDIVIDUAL EXAM ROOMS WITH IMAGING AND AN ISOLATION UNIT LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE EXAM ROOMS. THIS ALLOWS FOR POSSIBLE INFECTIOUS CASES TO AMBULATE WITHOUT FEAR OF CROSS CONTAMINATION. ACCESS TO NATURAL LIGHT AND VENTILATION IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH AN EVER CHANGING GLASS FACADE AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED GREEN CORES THAT BRING LIGHT INTO CLINICAL STAFF AREAS THAT NORMALLY DO NOT SEE IT. MY MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PROJECT WERE AIDING IN BUILDING CONCEPT AND EXTERIOR / ELEVATION DESIGN, GATHERING SITE INFORMATION AND PRECEDENT STUDIES, DIAGRAMMING, CONDUCTING ALL BACKGROUND RESEARCH ON COVID WITHIN THE CLEMSON COMMUNITY AND POPULATION STATISTICS WITHIN THE CLEMSON AREA, AND PUTTING TOGETHER ALL PRESENTATIONS. 16

LOCATION NORTH CORKTOWN IS LOCATED IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN, JUST NORTH OF CORKTOWN AND ITS FAMOUS MICHIGAN CENTRAL STATION. ALTHOUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S SURROUNDING AREAS ARE IN THE MIDST OF A REVITALIZATION PROCESS, NORTH CORKTOWN STILL STANDS AS A POVERTY STICKEN NEIGHBORHOOD WITH VAST AMOUNTS OF OPEN, UNUSED LAND. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TONS OF POTENTIAL TO BE A LIVELY, SELF-SUSTAINING, MIXED-USE AND MIXEDINCOME COMMUNITY. WITH THE FUTURE INFLUX OF BOTH TOURISTS AND EMPLOYEES FOR FORD’S FUTURE TECH HUB AT MICHIGAN CENTRAL STATION, NORTH CORKTOWN IS A GREAT SITE TO BE STRATEGICALLY PLANNED AND BUILT UP TO BECOME A LONG TERM HOME FOR PEOPLE AS WELL AS A LIVELY, MESMERIZING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE SHORT TERM VISITOR. ITS LOCATION ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND MICHIGAN AVENUE CORRIDORS ALLOW THE SITE TO FIT IN SEAMLESSLY WITH OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS. ALTHOUGH MY SITE IS NORTH CORKTOWN IN ITS ENTIRETY, I CHOSE TO FOCUS ON A SMALLER SUBSECTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH LIES DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE IN ORDER TO DELVE DEEPER INTO MY RESEARCH AND DESIGN.

MY UNDERGRADUATE THESIS FOCUSES ON REESTABLISHING COMMUNITY IN DETROIT’S NORTH CORKTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD AS A RESPONSE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY’S NEW MASTERPLAN FOR MICHIGAN CENTRAL STATION. THE MAIN GOALS THAT I STRIVED TO ACCOMPLISH WERE TO TURN THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTO A VIABLE AND LIVELY ONE, TO CREATE A PLACE THAT DOES NOT UPROOT EXISTING RESIDENTS BUT ALSO WELCOMES AND SERVES THE FUTURE INFLUX OF PEOPLE TO THE AREA, AND TO BRING LIFE BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY WHILE USING AND ELABORATING ON REMNANTS OF EXISTING CULTURE. MY THESIS PROPSAL SPEAKS TO KEEPING EXISTING THREADS OF CULTURE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WHILE ADDING NEWER STRUCTURES AND LANDSCAPES TO HELP ACCOMMODATE LARGER GROUPS OF PEOPLE. AFTER CONDUCTING MUCH RESEARCH AND A PHYSICAL VISIT TO THE SITE, I DECIDED TO KEEP CERTAIN EXISTING BUILDINGS WITHIN MY MASTERPLAN. THESE INCLUDE INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES SUCH AS CHURCHES AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL WITH A PARK, BUILDINGS THAT SPEAK TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SUCH AS ARTIST RESIDENCES, A HOSTEL, AND OTHER BUILDINGS THAT DISPLAY PUBLIC ART, AND ACTUAL RESIDENCES THAT ARE OCCUPIED OR ARE IN A WELL ENOUGH CONDITION TO ALLOW FOR A SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT. ASIDE FROM THE EXISTING STRUCTURES, MY PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES A “KIT OF PARTS” THAT ALLOWS FOR VARIATION TO MAKE EACH SPACE UNIQUE WHILE STILL PROVIDING A SENSE OF ORDER. THIS KIT OF PARTS INCLUDES DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS: APARTMENT, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING, AND LIVE/WORK, EACH OF WHICH HAS MORE SUB-UNITS DESIGNATED FOR DIFFERING PROGRAMS. PAIRED WITH EACH TYPOLOGY IS A SET OF LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS THAT WORK TO BENEFIT EACH SPECIFIC UNIT.

HOUSING TYPOLOGIES A MAIN PART OF THIS PROJECT REVOLVES AROUND HOUSING TYPOLOGIES, WITH THE LIVE/WORK UNIT BEING THE MOST EXEMPLARY. THIS UNIT CULTIVATES THE IDEA OF A SELF-SUSTAINING COMMUNITY AND ALLOWS FOR SMALL, PERSONAL BUSINESSES TO FLOURISH. NORTH CORKTOWN AND ITS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE A LARGE PORTION OF RESIDENTS WHO HAVE THEIR OWN TRADES OR MAKE THEIR OWN GOODS AND THE LIVE/WORK HOUSING PROVIDES A WAY TO KEEP THAT PART OF NORTH CORKTOWN’S UNIQUE CULTURE. THE COMPLETE HOUSING TYPOLOGY SET CONSISTS OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES, TWO TYPES OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH THE AVERAGE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND THREE TYPES OF ALLEY FLATS, AND SIX TYPES OF LIVE/WORK UNITS. THEN, BREAKING IT DOWN FURTHER, LIVE/WORK UNIT TYPOLOGIES INCLUDE RESTAURANT, PERFORMANCE, DAYCARE, INDEPENDENT ARTIST, MAKERSPACE, AND FOOD TRUCK MODULES. EACH UNIT HAS SIMILAR ELEMENTS INCLUDING BEING VARIATIONS ON A BASIC “L” SHAPE, HAVING A PITCHED ROOF, AND HAVING OUTDOOR COURTYARD SPACE, AMONG OTHERS. THESE ALL SERVE AS PROTOTYPES THAT WILL THEN FUEL THE REVITALIZATION PROCESS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ADDITIONALLY, EACH HOUSING TYPOLOGY IS PAIRED WITH A KIT OF PARTS THAT SETS UP A BASIS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD REJUVENATION BUT STILL ALLOWS FOR VARIATION BETWEEN UNITS. DEPENDING ON THE TYPOLOGY, UNITS HAVE A CHOICE OF LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS TO FURTHER PERSONALIZE THEIR SPACE. THESE INCLUDE TREES, ORCHARDS, FLOWER PLOTS, CROPS, PONDS, HARDSCAPE, HILLS, AND OUTBUILDINGS.

THE CANYON WAS A FINAL GROUP PROJECT FOR A THIRD YEAR FOUNDATION STUDIO. WE HAD FOUR WEEKS TO DEVELOP A DESIGN FOR A STUDENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER LOCATED ON BRANDON AVENUE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. MY GROUP MEMBER AND I FOCUSED ON INCORPORATING BOTH CONCEPTUAL AND LITERAL CONNECTIONS TO NATURE IN ORDER TO BETTER PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF ITS OCCUPANTS. OUR DESIGN’S NAME STEMS FROM ITS ALLUSION TO A LITERAL CANYON. THE TWO MASSES, ONE WITH A PROGAM PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON HEALTH AND THE OTHER WITH A PROGRAM PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON WELLNESS, HAVE A PATH CARVED THROUGH THEM THAT BRINGS PEOPLE IN FROM THE STREET, THROUGH THE COMPLEX, AND OUT TO A POND. ITS MATERIALITY IS STONE AND WOOD WITH LARGE GLASS WINDOWS TO ALLOW FOR LOTS OF NATURAL LIGHT. THE GLASS ROOF STRUCTURE COVERING THE CARVED OUT PATH ALLOWS FOR FOLIAGE TO GROW INSIDE THE COMPLEX WHILE STILL OFFERING PROTECTION FROM HARSHER WEATHER. FURTHERMORE, PHYSICAL HEALTH RELATED FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS A GYM, ARE LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR WHICH GIVES THE SPACE THE ABILITY TO OPEN UP ONTO A LARGE TERRACE AREA LOOKING OVER THE POND. MENTAL HEALTH RELATED PROGRAMS ARE IN THE SOUTH BUILDING AND MAINLY ON THE UPPER FLOORS. THESE SPACES HAVE LARGE GLASS WALLS TO PROVIDE NATURAL LIGHT AND VIEWS OUT TO THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS AND UTILIZE WELLNESS TOOLS SUCH AS THE “PROSPECT/REFUGE” AND “ATTENTION RESTORATION” THEORIES, AMONG OTHERS. MY GROUP MEMBER AND I TRULY WORKED ON THIS PROJECT EQUALLY IN EVERY ASPECT. WE BOTH CONTRIBUTED TO THE OVERALL DESIGN OF THE PROJECT, DRAWINGS, RENDERS, DIAGRAMS, AND EVERY OTHER OBJECT PRODUCED.

A THIRD YEAR FOUNDATION STUDIO AIMED AT PUSHING THE LIMITS OF DESIGN BY PUTTING A STRONG EMPHASIS ON CREATING THROUGH SECTION. THIS PROJECT IS AN EXPERIMENTAL ARTS HUB LOCATED IN NEW YORK CITY’S MEAT PACKING DISTRICT, OCCUPYING A SITE ADJACENT TO THE HIGH LINE. AT TEN STORIES TALL, THE PROGRAM WITHIN THE HUB IS EXTREMELY DIVERSE AND IS ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVING FACTORS FOR MY PROJECT. FABRICATION, GREENSPACE, PERFORMANCE, PRODUCTION, RESIDENTIAL, RETAIL/FOOD, AND STUDIO SPACES ARE PLACED THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE AND ACTIVELY ENGAGE ITS OCCUPANTS. WORKING PRIMARILY IN SECTION HAS ALLOWED MY DESIGN TO BE BEAUTIFULLY COMPLEX WITH MOMENTS THAT MESH THE INTERIOR WITH THE EXTERIOR THROUGHOUT. THE GREENSPACE TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN AND GROWS THROUGH THE HUB CONNECTING ALL EDGES TO A CENTRAL NODE. THE DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF THE GREENSPACE WORK HARMONIOUSLY WITH OTHER PROGRAMMATIC SPACES ALLOWING FOR SHIFTING PLANES, MULTI-HEIGHT AREAS, BRIDGES, AND VARYING DEGREES OF TRANSPARENCY WITH GLASS, METAL SCREENS, AND CONCRETE FACADES.

PROJECT MODEL
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING PROJECT WAS BASED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA ALONG WEST MAIN STREET. IT WAS THE PRODUCT OF A SECOND YEAR FOUNDATION STUDIO FOCUSED ON EXPOSING STUDENTS TO RESIDENTIAL DESIGN AND ISSUES INVOLVING HOUSING CRISES IN GROWING CITIES. IN THE GROUP PORTION OF THE PROJECT, THE OVERALL SITE WAS SPLIT INTO FIVE SMALLER SUB-SITES. EACH GROUP MEMEBER WORKED COLLABORATIVELY ON THE LARGER SITE SCALE WHILE CREATING OUR OWN UNIQUE HOUSING DESIGNS FOR THE SUB-SITES. MY INDIVIDUAL PROJECT IS OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX COMPRISED OF THREE TYPES OF UNITS: SINGLE MODULAR, DOUBLE MODULAR, AND NON-MODULAR, ALONG WITH A RENTABLE COMMERCIAL UNIT ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE GROUND FLOOR. THEIR CONFIGURATION ALLOWS FOR SYSTEMS OF TERRACING AND WALKWAYS THAT BRING NATURE UP INTO THE COMPLEX AS WELL AS OPTIMAL LIGHT AND VIEWS OUT TO THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS. MY DESIGN, ONE OF A MORE INTIMATE SCALE THAT FOCUSES ON AN ADDITIVE PROCESS THROUGH AGGREGATION INSTEAD OF SUBTRACTING FROM A LARGER MASS, ACTS AS A FOIL TO THE OTHER EXISTING BUILDINGS AND GROUP MEMBER PROJECTS ALONG WEST MAIN STREET. ITS LOCATION FURTHER BACK FROM THE STREET EDGE ALLOWS FOR GREENSPACE OR HARDSCAPE THAT GIVES A SENSE OF INTRIGUE AND INVITES PEOPLE IN.

THIS WAS A GRADUATE LEVEL ELECTIVE COURSE WITH A MULTITUDE OF EXERCISES GEARED TOWARDS ENHANCING DRAWING SKILLS. GOALS WERE TO EMPHASIZE DRAWING FROM DIRECT OBSERVATIONS, EXPLORE NEGATIVE SPACE AND POSITIVE SHAPE RELATIONSHIPS, AND TO FIND ACCURACY THROUGH EXPRESSION. ALTHOUGH OTHER OBJECTS WERE STUDIED, HUMAN FORM AND LANDSCAPE WERE THE TWO MAIN SUBJECTS OF FOCUS FOR THE COURSE. EXERCISES BEGAN WITH REPRESENTING OBSERVATIONS EXACTLY AS THEY ARE PRESENTED IN REAL LIFE THROUGH DRAWING AND, AS THE SEMESTER CONTINUED ON, DRAWINGS GRADUALLY DEVELOPED INTO OBSERVING OUR SUBJECTS AND EXPRESSIVELY INTERPRETING THEM AS WE SEE FIT.

IN THESE ARTISTIC STUDIES I HAVE EXPLORED TWO DIFFERENT OBJECTS LONG-TERM: THE HUMAN HAND AND FLOWERS, WHICH CONSIST MAINLY OF ROSES. I CHOSE THESE SUBJECTS EARLY ON IN MY ARTISTIC CAREER BECAUSE OF THEIR MANY LAYERS OF COMPLEXITY WHICH YIELD ENDLESS INTERPRETATIONS. EACH WORK WAS CREATED THROUGH DIFFERENT DRAWING TECHNIQUES WITH EACH ITERATION FOCUSING ON A DIFFERENT ARTISTIC CONCEPT SUCH AS FORM, COLOR, LIGHT, OR EXPRESSION, AMONG OTHERS. USE OF MULTIPLE MEDIUMS INCLUDING GRAPHITE, PAN PASTEL, WATERCOLOR, ETC., HAVE ALLOWED ME TO CAPTURE THE DIFFERING PROMINENT EXPRESSIONS THAT EACH OBJECTS EXUDES. 40
