MAKANI CENTER FOR LIVING COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS FALL 2014
This mixed-use building is located in a neighborhood focused on sustainability. Makani Village is a live-work community for the Makani Factory, which creates turbines for wind energy. The site for the entertainment section of Makani Village is located next to a lake, which is activated by a boardwalk, restaurants and retail. This 25,000 square foot Center for Living creates a way to bring together the residents and visitors in a building that encourages social interaction. The Makani Center for Living is a study of having community and privacy within a mixed-use building. This was achieved through allowing social interaction within the circulation between the restaurant guests and residents, while keeping privacy within the apartment realm. The form was influenced by the views toward the lake through lifting the ground level in the front, while creating a roof garden on the top. The ground level contains a boardwalk extension underneath to provide extra seating for the coffee and cupcake shops. The second level facing the lake contains a restaurant, and the second through fourth levels also contain apartments for up to thirty-three residents.

AWA DANCE CENTER TOKUSHIMA, JAPAN SPRING 2015
The purpose of this project is to act as an urban catalyst that will spur growth in the city architecturally, socially, and economically. Currently, there is an influx of visitors to the city during the famous Awa Odori Dance Festival that occurs once a year, but the town is not active during the off-season. This project will act as a catalyst to turn Tokushima into the lively place it once was by allowing people to learn and watch the dance, while creating a place for social gathering. The Awa Dance Center is located along a major axis between the train station and the mountain. It contains a dance school, a 1300 seat opera house, a 330 seat theater, and an outdoor theater. The dance center is adjacent to a river and boardwalk, and has an important retail street that was preserved in the creation of the project. The main theater is wrapped by a terraced lobby of different levels to emphasize horizontal planes. From the lobby, a cafĂŠ and museum shop can be seen below. The smaller theater relates to the shopping street, as the stage is on the ground level and is transparent for those walking along the street. This shopping street is designed to provide an area for the dance parade to start, and continue along the street that runs in front of the dance center. The outdoor theater may be operated separately from the main theater, or simultaneously to bring life to the riverside plaza. To tie the plaza to the building, there is an expansive covering to protect those in the plaza during the performances. 16

REMOTE STUDIO JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING FALL 2012 TEAM PROJECT
I had an opportunity to spend a semester away and I attended the Remote Studio of Artemis Institute. The main project was to design and build installations within the park as well as a small pedestrian bridge across a stream. One of the main features include a trellis installation made of douglas fir lumber and tube steel. The rough sawn lumber is connected to the steel frame through a series of custom made tabs that are welded on to the steel and bolted to the wood. The roof of the trellis folds in three areas to form the walls, a bench and an aperture. The aperture is designed to create a view toward the line of trees along the western portion of the site. Another main feature of the park includes a boardwalk. This emphasizes the stream that runs through the park and allows users to engage in the surrounding nature. The boardwalk is created from timber blocking and strung onto steel rods. The blocking creates room for the bench supports to sandwich between the boards to carry a seat made from a similar blocking technique. The set of six deck platforms are held together with a steel frame that runs along the angle of the stream. One small feature of the park includes the Humility Chair which was a partner project. This piece of furniture embodies being humble because it causes the user to become low to the ground, not any higher than the tall grass. It gives a new perspective to the massive mountains beyond. 30

GARDEN OF PERFORMING ARTS BRYAN, TEXAS FALL 2013 PARTNER PROJECT
The Garden of Performing Arts is a children’s theater located in historic downtown Bryan, Texas. The concept of the form is driven by the idea of weaving. The project is made up of three linear forms which are pushed and pulled to create an entry point at a major intersection of the downtown area. Voids are then woven into the linear forms to bring light and air to the bottom floor. The garden aspect of the performing arts center is found through light wells which are interspersed throughout the project. The light wells are met with vegetation to bring whimsy and life to the basement level, and create visual interaction from the street level. Two major points of this visual interaction occur in the lobby and classroom wing. In the theater lobby, a strip of the street level is brought down to the basement level to give greenery and light in a space used before and after performances. Between two of the classrooms is a small courtyard on the basement level that makes way for a tree. This important moment visually connects the workers in the upper level, students in the basement level and pedestrians on the street level.

TIMBER IN THE CITY NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK FALL 2015 PARTNER PROJECT
Timber in the City is a project competition held by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture to create a timber mid-rise structure in the lower east side of Manhattan. The 300,000 square foot building houses an Andy Warhol museum, an extension of the existing Essex Market and nearly 300 apartment units. The concept of placemaking drives the project through a series of community-oriented gathering places. The courtyard within the city block brings pedestrians in from the sidewalk as an alcove from the traffic of Delancey Street. This “clearing� in the city provides a spot for social interaction and special events which initiates placemaking within the project. The structure of the public spaces contains columns which are used in the interiors of both the market and museum for wayfinding purposes. In the museum, the entrance to each gallery is marked by a column at the wall opening so timber is the first thing viewed. In the market, two axes of columns are used to organize circulation paths through the permanent and temporary stalls. The market on Essex Street activates the sidewalk through a number of entry points that perforate the exterior wall. By raising movable wall panels, the market and sidewalk mesh and create easy access for pedestrians.

GRAPHICS FALL 2014 - FALL 2015
During the senior year of my undergraduate studies at Texas A&M University, I joined a team, known as The Agency, which does the graphic publications for the Department of Architecture. I had the opportunity to create advertisements for student work and events such as the lecture series and poster session for the master of architecture final study. As a Master of Architecture student I co-lead The Agency as a teaching assistant with even more opportunity to design graphics and teach what I have learned. As a teaching assistant I was given even greater responsibility. With other students, I created the book for the 2014 Celebration of Excellence, which honors the top projects in the master program, and the Wright Gallery promotion material for the art exhibitions in the College of Architecture. In my second year as a teaching assistant I have continued the same responsibilities as well as design the book for the 2015 Celebration of Excellence and exhibition book for the Forsyth Gallery in the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University.
