Framing the Corridor Kansas City, Missouri The goal for this project was to create a visual connection to the cultural icon of Sprint Center. Sequencing of profile frames were used to understand the relationship between a pedestrian on Main Street to the cultural icon. Three primary design Goals: 1. Visual Connection to the cultural icon of Sprint Center at the street corner of Main + 16 Street, Kansas City, 2. Redirecting the grid, 3. Addressing the corners and edges from main street to the Sprint Center and across interstate 670. Professor Keith Van de Riet University of Kansas ARCH 608 Final Fall 2015
Shape of Flight RISD Spring 2014 Collaborative Installation studio- students from four departments: Architecture, Interior Architecture,Industrial Design and Glass. The state of “Pure Flight” is one where the subject experiences separation from ground, balance, perceptual freedom and spatial freedom equally, with immediacy, and to their fullest capacities. Although these elements are still present in “Human Flight”, the experience and immediacy with which they are felt is diminished by the dependency on an apparatus. In the hopes of retrieving some of what is lost in human flight, we intend to create an experience of enhanced awareness of: weight, balance, separationfrom ground and perceptual freedom by designing an environmentwhere longing and a loss of boundaries and limitations are perceived. Involvement: I was apart of the lighting team (images on the lower left corner- lighting experiments), graphic design-event flyer, promotion of event, event preparation and installation

Muller House Analysis The analysis began with the exposure of an edge, which later reveals the operation of 6 spatial fragments within the spatial core of the Muller House. The edge uncovers a connection between walls, stairs, and floor plates. Architectural Analysis RISD Spring 2013 Professor Chris Bardt

The goal of the project was to design a residential house to accommodate a single mother and her two young children, one 3 years old boy and one 5 years old girl. The mother of two is a yoga and meditation instructor. Her hobbies included cooking and food blogging. The program requested a large studio space to practice yoga and meditation. In addition, children’s bedrooms with flexible spaces, space for gardening and indoor space for plants. Also, the proximity of the kitchen, dining, and yoga studio to a courtyard/green space was important. Overall, the design achieves tranquility as well as allowing the client to feel in touch with nature.

Natatorium for the City of Providence Exploring the conceptual edges of the surrounding urban language. The diverse use of urban scale by people and motor vehicle challenged me to think of how the architecture can be a part of the existing landscape.

Wall Decay Over time the bricks are extracted from the surface due to deterioration by weathering. The skin becomes flexible hence causing the edges to peel away. Fall 2013 Working Installation RISD Instructor Valerie Hegarty
Paynes Prairie Preserve, Gainesville, Florida The concept focused on peeling away the surface of the landscape whereby the layers beneath are revealed. The model illustrates the transtion and movement of the water structure from the top layer to the veins underground. Valencia College: Design 4 Final Spring 2012 Professor Kourtney Baldwin
Central Falls Summer Academy 2014 Together with RISD, Brown University and students from Javeriana University in Columbia, (40 students) we design and build a community plaza on Dexter street, Central Falls, Rhode Island. I really want to continue doing architectural projects like this, that anyone of any background and financial status can experience. It brought a lot of good energy into the community and even among us. Involvement: Co-leader: Mural wall, along with Kyuli Kim (RISD, Interior Architecture), gathering tiles - donated to the project, digging foundation, brick laying, planting, unloading materials. Professor: Elizabeth Dean Hermann, Daniel Feldman, Martin Anzellini Photos by Lucas Vasilko and Ivan Quinones Sanchez
Thesis Statement Highline, New York This thesis takes Pina Bausch’s dance performances as a framework to initiate dance into urban spaces. The tension between multiple dancers simultaneously moving is reinterpreted as an asymmetrical sequencing of spaces and materiality that eliminates mundane architectural thresholds such as walls, windows, and doors. This supports the notion that irregularity in architecture, as opposed to conventional norms of construction, exposes new avenues for design solutions. This produces new ways of meandering space, where constricted movement does not exist, and where emptiness is interrupted by chaos, and balance and imbalance is constantly negotiated. Thus, by eliminating the limits and confined boundaries of performance spaces, this project challenges the conventional typology of an urban dance venue.
