In this project, I designed a 12’x12’ outdoor space for people to experience the earth. The design draws inspiration from the ancient symbol of the Priestly Blessing Hands, a Jewish motif with roots tracing back to biblical times. The structure sits four feet into the ground and the stairs are flanked with benches on either side. It has a dirt floor and rammed earth in the open corner. While sitting on the benches, a persons’ eyes will be directly in line with the ground that surrounds them.

This structure is designed to immerse the user in the embrace of the wind. It has four spinners that take the shape of the overall plan of the structure. It is made partially from aromatic red cedar, amplifying the wind with a sense of smell. In its entirety, this sacred space orchestrates a multi-sensory engagement, inviting occupants to hear the whispers of the wind, smell the aromatic red cedar, feel the subtle shifts in atmosphere, and witness the interplay of light and shadow.

This space was designed as a shelter from the rain. Modeled after a simple umbrella, the structure sheilds from the rain while also expressing the element to the user. The top of the shelter acts as a collection pool. There is a small hole in the roof that allows water to trickle down, hitting a series of metal bars, and creating a tune. hat water then drains into small cre ices in the floor, creating an open crossed pattern in the middle. he side walls mimic the flow of a waterfall.

The Steel Arch Harvest House is an ode to the iconic city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With numerous arches included in the facade, it recognizes the historic Heinz Arch, the adjacent 16th St. Bridge, and the hilly landscape of the area. It is located in the west corner of the site, highlighting the views of the downtown skyline, the 16th St. Bridge, and the Heinz buildings and iconic arch. The garden paths make an immersive outdoor experience with a walking bridge leading from the gardens.
