interviews!
gray_matter(s) is the online student publication for the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech. As a staff writer and part of the school’s Lecture Committee, I have had many opportunities to interview people from all over the world. My writing and interview technique focus on getting to know the person and relating what they do to my fellow students.

InfrastructureSTUDY
Washington Park / GA / USA / 2012 PROFESSOR: Libero Andreotti MASTER’S THESIS PROJECT
PROBLEM Atlanta’s BeltLine currently has NO PLAN for train stops. In other models, light rail stations are either or absolutely no thought of community interaction has been thought through. A genuine lack of understanding of the City of Atlanta’s infrastructure is prevalent and should be improved so that citizens can better participate in debates about design proposals.
PROPOSAL By creating a light rail station 1/2 mile adjacent to an already existing MARTA heavy rail line, and an urban walk connecting the two that reveals the subterranean infrastructure,citizens can start to understand their whole designed environment and be able to respond with better understanding to future design proposals.

design games!
a delicious, quick design challenge www.getwiththeprogram.tumblr.com
GWtP is a game I developed in order to more actively engage other designers. I began by asking students and professors, but quickly gained confidence to ask our guest lecturers and any other designers I had the chance to meet. The two most interesting things about this game is capturing personal style through a sketch, and also hearing the ‘sales pitch’ after the three minutes is over.
a game i developed that inspires, challenges, and delights all who dare to give it a try

Those who come to genetics research centers in hopes of curing a disease often donate months of time with very little chance of success. Instead, they give scientists amazing amounts of data. However, these places are rarely designed with the clinical trial user in mind. How can this building respond to the needs of all users, rather than just a select group? floor plate

PROPOSAL By studying migration patterns of societies over time (population genetics), I came to understand that some groups stay in one place while others choose to move on to something new. This influenced a building design driven by circulation. By creating one main education path, but then several other choices based on user type, the building becomes individualized.
