A Contemporary Agora For this project I was asked to create a pavillion to place in Copley Square to fulďŹ ll a function of my choosing. I chose to envision my structure as a tranquil space, that would shield those occupying it from the noise and chaos of the city. My intent was for the pavillion to be a space for quick and quiet contemplation, not somewhere to sit for hours but a place to decompress and break from the stress of everyday life before returning again to the hustle of the city. For me, it is the physical manifestation of a day dream and a statement on the importance of balancing work and play in order to be a productive and happy citizen.

02 C a v i t y Wa l l At Northeastern, second year architecture students are required to take architectural tectonics, an intensive 4 credit class that delves into the construction, materiality, and structure of buildings. Our final assignment focused on the structure of cavity walls and required us to draw a detail of one in order to solidify our knowledge of the materials and mechanisms that occur inside the wall.

South End Library This project is a proposal for a larger library facility that would better serve the South End neighborhood through providing flexible program and computer facilities to accommodate more contemporary library functions. In this assignment we were encouraged to design and think sectionally in order to diversify our design methodology. I experiemented with stacking the same shape in various orientations in a way that would maximize the efficiency of the building’s circulation. The books themselves are the core of the building as the circulatory path snakes around a wall of bookshelves that feels as though it penetrates the building’s center.

Learning from Modernism For a residential design focused studio I was asked to create a 1,100 square foot dwelling that incorporated Free Plan design principles as specified by one of the titans of the movement, Le Corbusier. I strove to design in a way that provided both areas of specific program and areas of looser multifunctional spaces. My hope was to afford the residents privacy as well as connectivity with the outside world through my own adaptation of Free Plan tactics.

Plaza Study Annually, IE University partners with local Arts and Humanities enthusiasts to put on Segovia’s chapter of The International Hay Festival: A celebration of music, art, and literature where creative minds from all over the world are invited to the city to brandish their craft at a weeklong festival spread throughout the city. Architecture students were asked to study how the city is transformed by the event and to discover what made the spaces that were chosen for different event types either a good or bad decision. I chose to examine a concert happening in one of Segovia’s oldest and most popular plazas and diagram how sound fluctuates throughout the event.
