The cube initially is comprised of six planes. As the system progresses, countless planes are created, transforming the shape of the cube to create a sense of openess. Each phase shows the cube in motion. No part is static, but each is constantly evolving. The phases allude to the various possibilities of what the cube can become. This is seen through the changes in the planes within the cube.

TRANSIENT LANDSCAPE

SENIOR PROJECT | FALL 2014-SPRING 2015 Occoquan Origin: Dogue Native American Tribe meaning “at the end of the water.”

A study of place through transformation across time. Place can be remembered through change. Design of this site was not one of resistance, but rather, resilience in its submission to the impetus of time. Originally, this project was presented as a series of memories in narrative form. Excerpts are paired with images.

Place “SOUTH OF THE HEMLOCKS AND BEFORE THE BAY WE FOUND OUR HOME.” The site was initially settled by the Dogue Native American Tribe. The river provides an ideal habitat for diverse fish and wildlife such as neotropical migrant birds that reside in forests adjacent to Belmont Bay.

THE CORE STAIRCASE FEEDS VISITORS THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE STRUCTURE AND IS REMINISCENT OF THE FEEDING OF BOATS THROUGH THE CORE OF THE STRUCTURE IN ITS PRIOR USE. THE STAIRCASE BECOMES A JOURNEY IN ITSELF, BRINGING VISITORS OUT TO THE RIVER’S EDGE AND BACK IN REFLECTION OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE TIDES. IT FORMS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STREET AND RIVER FACES WHILE PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAUSE AT THE CENTER OF THE SITE.

FOUR RECTILINEAR PLANTING BEDS DENOTE THE FOUR SEASONS WITH REPRESENTATIVE PLANTINGS AND BECOME INDICATORS OF SEASONAL CHANGE WHILE THE CENTRAL AMPHITHEATER FLOODS, WITH THE STEPS BECOMING MARKERS OF DAILY TIDAL FLUCTUATIONS.

DURHAM CONNECTED

CITY DESIGN STUDIO | FALL 2014 Durham, North Carolina has experienced a recent revitalization of its downtown. However, surrounding neighborhoods remain relatively disconnected from the heart of the city. Design features define the transition zones between these neighborhoods and downtown utilizing transit and open space networks.

THE CURVE CONNECTOR The Vickers road overpass, an underutilized connection, is converted to a pedestrian and bike only corridor.

Traffic can cross the Durham freeway one street east on Duke Street which also serves as a primary bus route for the neighborhood.

The “Curve” provides a place for users to pause above the freeway and watch the cars pass by as they journey from their neighborhoods to Downtown.

GARTH NEWEL MUSIC CENTER

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS STUDIO | SPRING 2014 Design for a historic artist’s retreat converted to a classical music center nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Site challenges included preservation of historic elements and protection from hydrological degradation.

MASTER PLAN HYDROLOGY SOLUTIONS Volume reduction at higher elevations, as well as intermediate zones throughout the site were critical to overall usability and longevity of the music center. In the existing condition, a majority of the rainfall was directed to the main entry road. The road suffered serious erosion damage.

Through swales and check-dams, this volume is controlled and reduced through retention and reduction measures at higher elevations.

SITE-SCALE HYDROLOGY SOLUTIONS EXISTING

PROPOSED The existing retaining wall suffered major damage as much of the water on-site flowed and collected behind the right angle of the wall. By replacing this wall with a curve, the joint failure is eliminated and water is redirected to the road. The wall serves to protect the barn from water damage while pulling visitors through the space.

COLLABORATIVE INSTALLATION | SUMMER-FALL 2012 Internship with Aki Ishida Architect PLLC to design an interactive installation for the AIA Blue Ridge Awards Event located at the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market. Kite Design responded to direction of wind and movement of people through the market. Wind directs the motion of the kite and kites colors grow warmer in response to an increased density of people.

SHORT FILM | AWARDED BEST PICTURE: PROGENY FILM FESTIVAL | SPRING 2014 Screenplay | Lighting | Set Design

A woman stands at the sink. She turns the faucet to fill her cup. Thoughts, flowing, consume her. She escapes from the mundane world that surrounds her as she floats in a world constructed by her mind, happily drowning in the present moment. The cup overflows. Present. Awareness returns as she realizes, “I forgot to take our the trash...”

URBAN ARTERY

GRAPHIC EXCERPT | CHICAGO STUDIO | FALL 2013 The arterial street becomes the literal artery; Buildings form the external barrier, the connective tissue; people become the fluid life-force, the blood of the city, and the landscape serves as the flexible muscle fibers, expanding and contracting as it mediates between permanent and temporal elements.

Sewage sinks with the sunken pipes as it saturates the base of burried channels.

At the mouth of the river lies oure x c e s s -fills the streets,stopping traffic in its greed. Litter and languae so obsene drip from our thirsty lips.

Aqueducts fall back into the landscape and skyscrapers disintigrate in sewage.
