AECOM Project Architect / Job Captain 07.15.2019 - 08.01.2021 At AECOM I work with small to large teams of between 4-22 people on multiple types of projects which included; lab renovations, campus consolidations, medical, laboratory and office buildings on a medical campus, high rise commercial office spaces and large scale warehouse and distribution facilities. These projects were located throughout New England, Mexico, India and California and ranged in sizes from 2,000 sf to 500,000 sf . My role in these projects included, developing programs, interior planning, managing small teams of designers, coordinating MEP consultants, Revit modeling to create construction documents as well as following some projects through construction administration.

Payette Project Designer / Job Captain 06.23.2017 - 05.24.2019 While at Payette I took on many roles such as Designer, BIM manager, Project Designer, mentor and Job Captain, all of which was spread out over 15 different projects ranging in sizes from 1,500 sf up to 140,000 sf. My time was spent exclusively on healthcare design, particularly on imaging and cancer treatment facilities throughout the New England area. I worked directly with Principals and Managers from the beginning of RFP’s and programing phases through construction administration, I met with clients, users and consultants and led project meetings.

These projects included renovation for medical offices for Hospital medicine, renovation for cancer treatment infusion center and pharmacy, new construction of 800 and 1200 bed hospitals in Kuwait. The two larger projects, I worked on public spaces, imaging departments, women’s health and Emergency/ Trauma center.

America Dural Inc. Architectural Designer 05.01.2013 - 05.15.2015 At America Dural Inc. I was a part of a small team of designers who worked on high end residential apartments and homes up and down the east coast. These projects would range from small custom millwork closets to a full gutted renovation homes of a 3000+ sf. I began as a drafter, drawing and correcting red lines while conducting existing site measurements. I was the sole modeler and render for all projects and presentations. Over the years I worked my way up to a sort of project manager status. Which included me having my own projects, meeting with clients, conducting construction administration while I also worked on a few projects with coworkers. My other responsibilities included building a new company website to showcase the all the new work and implement new drawings standards.

Steffian Bradley Architects Architectural Intern 09.01.2013 - 01.15.2014 At Steffian Bradley Architects I was a part of a team that worked on hospitals throughout Massachusetts. This type of work involved a lot of ADA, local building code and green code research. Through the application of this knowledge I assisted in the layout of existing and proposed bedrooms and bathrooms. I helped in assisting the project manager with patient bedroom and bathroom layouts in the new and existing rooms along with circulation. My other responsibilities included documenting existing conditions, site visits for conducting user questionnaires. I also participated in meetings with contractors and other designers. I used Revit, AutoCAD and Sketchup to create drawings, details and renderings for construction document sets and presentations. I also worked closely with the project manager and interior designers to create designs and color styles that would appeal visually to the client while still meet the client’s budget.

Emotional Architecture Emotions effect the human body not only mentally with memories and thoughts, but physically. Each person has their own unique experience that makes no two people the same, making each of us very distinct and personal. Everyone struggles with negative emotions when it comes to death but through those emotions a progression from one to another accrues usually resulting in further negative emotions. A therapeutic hospice facility has the ability to impact a wide range of building users whom have all experienced different life events. Color and light within the hospice facility can help transform users from a negative mind set to a positive one. By strategically introducing color and light into architecture, it has the ability to be therapeutic and transform a users’ emotions to help relieve pain and suffering. When we see color we experience various emotions, memories and experiences on a subconscious level, however through research and experiments we now know that color effects the body through body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. The design of this hospice facility uses evidence-based research in color and light to influence the way users experience a space. The hospice facility will affect those who are going through an often avoided or uncomfortable state and create a more manageable and acceptable situation.

Japanese Sumo Stadium Sumo wrestling is an ageing past time that has begun to fade out of contemporary culture in Japan. My plan involved revitalization of the interest in the sport by using common and just as old Japanese principles of life which include Yugen, Jo-Ha-Kyu, Geido, and Ensou. The program is arranged in such a matter that it represents the idea of Yugen, creating a sense of mystery and curiosity. People from outside may hear sumo matches and see glimpses of what’s going on inside creating a need to explore and discover what is inside. Circulation is used to express the idea of Jo-Ha-Kyu, where one starts slowly, by ascending up, then accelerating down to their seats where, sumo bouts can be over in a matter of seconds, finally ending either at their seats or the end of the match. Next is the idea of Geido, where order, layers and ethics play an important part of sumo life and building. By using a system of transparent and translucent panels centered on the ring and expanding out the design begins to mimic this idea. The last concept is about the void (Ensou) in everything and nothing. The overall design of a stadium lends itself to this idea where there is a center point and things are open and expanding out away from that point creating a central void that opens up to the sky and ultimately the gods.

Brewery Museum The design of a parcel near the new Jackson Square Plaza and T station was important to the overall success of the community design project because it is the one of the first things people will see when entering the new Boulevard. This required it to grab the attention of people entering the plaza while being settle and calm. In order to achieve this, the parcel would need to attract everyone coming to the site, not just through the architecture’s appearance but through the programing. This involved the incorporation of a wide range of program uses within the building which included civic, commercial, housing and public spaces. The overall building became a closed cycle where people the opportunity to live, work, play and visit. One of the main things that drove this concept started with my original idea of a network of public and semiprivate courtyards which also became the foundation for the master plan. My concept included a constellation of interactions through vertical access. The vertical access connected different users and creates a condensed experience compared to one that a user may have on the entire Boulevard into a single building. Bridges, which span from what may appear from building to building connect them all to create a system of transfer.

Culinary Art School The Culinary School encompasses many new technologies and ideas seen in the industry of design and cooking. This design included a new system that used layers of exterior envelops to heat air then pump it into the building, this creates not only a sustainable enclosure but also a thermal barrier. A vegetative wall provided a natural insulation on select parts of the building, cooling it in the summer and warming it in the winter. A water collection system was used for watering crops and for toilet reuse. The wash rooms are all centralized which allowed for an easier, more compact system to be used. A percentage of energy will come from renewable resources, such as solar panels. An on site compost area will help with cutting down on waste and provide an organic soil for growing food. The idea is that each program element received some aspect of natural light. This created a relaxing and more efficient work environment. Light will be controlled through horizontal and vertical louvers along with light shelves. Down lighting on overhangs will provide enough electric light at night to illuminate and draw people into the restaurant and bake shop. The goal was to produce as little light pollution as possible on the site as this is mostly a residential area and would not like to disturb living in the area.
