Within the first year of construction, we not only refurbish the Armory and create new housing, but also construct a charter elementary school, to be rented out with a 20-year lease, which will attract young families to the neighborhood. Located adjacent to the proposed light rail stop, drop-off by parents will be convenient as they come into the area or downtown for work. New retail and office space provide a buffer for the residential areas, particularly on special event days. With the completion of the Vikings stadium in 2016, a five star SITE PLAN hotel is designed overlooking the proposed tailgating space and with a direct view to the stadium. The hotel will accommodate incoming fans making this a destination for the weekend, and not just for a day.

An extensive pedestrian and bicycle bridge wraps around the stadium and over the freeway, connecting cultures and communities FURTHER to the east, allowing Downtown East to be more active throughout the year. The stadium becomes a marker, a destination point, a place for numerous events to occur, such as festivals, parades, and winter recreational activities on the expansive, sculpted terrain and open green space.

Our proposal for Downtown East embraces the Vikings Stadium and allows it to play a vital role towards the cultivation and continuation of urban life in Minneapolis. Recognizing its central location within the surrounding district, the stadium no longer sits as an isolated monument, disconnected from the city fabric. It becomes a catalyst for cross-cultural pollination.

MAIN BUILDING SECTION THROUGH COMMON AREA
RECYCLING & SOLID WASTE CONVENIENCE CENTER SITE 1 HUT, 10505 Old Stage Rd., RALEIGH NC
SITE PLAN
The Wake County Recycling and Solid Waste Convenience Centers are trash and recycling drop off stations scattered throughout Wake County and are used every day by thousands of county residents. Typically, 1 to 3 county workers operate each station at a given time and their responsibilities include directing people to the proper waste bins and watching over the grounds so that no one is hurt or removes any of the recycling from the collection area.
0007
The Convenience Center Huts (CCHs) are shelters that provide the workers with protection from the elements, a small workspace and an area to prepare and store food. Most of the county’s 11 current CCHs are dilapidated and use large amounts of energy for heating and cooling despite their small size.

SLIDING CHAIR SPRING 2011
The sliding chair emerged from the need for a low-lying chair for reading to my children. Where they could get on without the concern of them falling down. It is fabricated with Birch bending Plywood, Walnut and Maple. There was no need for any hardware as it was my intention to explore and study wood connections.

MARKETING POSTERS APP DEVELOPMENT
CityCamp winner 2012
RGreenway began as a summer school project. Where I conceived an app that would function as an interactive guide to the Greenways in Raleigh. This idea was pitched in CityCamp 2012 and was developed after it was awarded the 1st price. The app currently displays the closest trail, parking, information about the trail you are in; it also has a work out mode that allows you to track time and distance traveled in the greenway; displays the weather, current location in the greenway, social media check in and a link to SeeClickFix (in case you see something wrong in the greenway, you can report it to the proper officials).
