When RDI was awarded the job, we were given a Schematic Design to prepare Construction Documents and follow the project through construction completion. My role developed throughout the project starting as an intern and finishing as the Project Manager. Several meetings were held with the alumni, and interiors committee where I presented the interior finishes and furnishings selections. The interior committee was made up of 7 alumni; they reported to the overseeing committee of 30, who made all project cost decisions. During construction, I led weekly progress meetings, tracked field changes and progress with a report, and constantly communicated with the Contractor, their Sub Contractors, and the Owner. The project finished under budget and a month after the original scheduled end date. CRN-3

BETA THETA PI ALPHA CHAPTER INTERIOR
Public vs Residential – Public areas use warm tones to create an inviting space for active brothers and guests. Geared towards the historical aspect of the house, both the public and the chapter spaces use the same color palette. Cool tones are used in resident areas: bedrooms, bathrooms, and the second-floor hallways. The toilet room and bathroom highlight the color differences in these opposing areas.
RESIDENT BEDROOM
Chapter Classroom – Integral Growth, one of the five Beta core values, was the focus for creating a multi-purpose classroom space. This area is used for guest speakers, alumni, and professors to talk to the active members. The classroom also holds weekly chapter meetings and offers a large study space. The room is referred to as a classroom, instead of chapter room, to be included as an educational space to increase the house’s education percentage. The room occupancy is 130 people, the original layout was changed to increase the number of chairs to equal the maximum capacity.

BEFORE EXTERIOR
Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has various abandoned facilities throughout the state, including an old water treatment plant at Salt Fork State Park. To be more fiscally responsible, ODNR decided to transform an existing facility to office space for ODNR’s Oil + Gas Division. RDI was awarded the role of Criteria Architect for the project, which included a review of the Design-Build Contractor’s work ensuring the Owner’s goals were met. As Project Manager, my responsibilities consisted of compiling criteria specifications, creating renders for minimum space requirements, and combining those spaces into a Schematic layout. During construction, I attended bi-weekly site meetings and conducted progress site analysis producing a field report. I consulted on the interior and exterior finishes and interior furnishing selections. The largest challenge was to bring high speed gigabit Internet to the remote site. RDI consulted with a technology firm to review multiple options to ensure the Owner’s needs were met. The project finished under budget and a month after the scheduled end date.

Project Goals: - Create a statement entry into the building - Add an elevator to meet accessibility requirements - Allow natural light into space - Swift turnaround for space leasing - Stay within a reasonable budget
The split-level office building entrance did not meet tenants wants in accessibility and natural light. RDI was given the project to execute the new lobby entrance including an elevator, accessible stairwell and permeate natural light to the lower level. In order to minimize the shared space cost for the Owner, the entry lobby utilizes the least amount of space as the code allows. The exterior design combines traditional columns and trim with a modern curtain wall, by blending them together two project goals are achieved: statement entrance and saturate the interior with natural light. Polycarbonate risers allow the natural light to continue to flow into the lower level of the entrance with the least amount of obstructions. As Project Manager, I completed CD documents, visit the job site weekly, and answer questions from the General Contractor while updating the Owner on the continued progress.

Project Goals: - Create an area for inmates to prepare for reentering society. - Transform an existing room into 4 addiction style meeting classrooms - 3 small classrooms for 20 people - 1 large classroom for 50 people - Add an office for the director and a break room for staff - All spaces must be able to be seen from another room for safety - Stay within budget
Marion Correctional Institution Recovery Services provides a program to help inmates adjust from life inside the institution to life outside. This program has grown significantly and has outgrown the one room space it currently uses. RDI’s job for the project was to take an abandoned space and transform it into several classroom style spaces to expand the resources available to the director and staff. My design for the project was to maximize the natural light from the windows to create a healthier, more inviting space. The finishes selected were soft tones to continue the calming feeling in a space where discussions may bring many emotions. For safety, large windows are placed in every partition for continuous viewing of the secluded area. These windows provided an additional benefit of allowing natural light to flow into the lobby corridor.

The Downtown Wexner Center is a building sculpture that links the Columbus College of Design and Columbus Museum. By the building being a sculpture itself, it makes the Wexner Center a viewing destination in addition to the exceptional artwork inside. The Center’s shape derives the idea of continuous circulation in a three-dimensional figure 8 form. The galleries within flow through the form in a progression where not only is the artwork on display but also views of the city. The orientation of the building pulls people from both Broad St. and Cleveland Ave. to venture into the site and explore the hard angles of the building. The unique set up of the site attracts not only art lovers but also business professionals, school field trips, and private events. Program: - Entry Area (ticket desk & coat check) - Cafe - Museum Shop - Administration Offices - Technical Support Spaces (loading dock & storage - 3 Gallery Spaces Accessible areas while Gallery is closed: - Auditorium - 4 Classrooms - Workshop Studio - 3 Apartments for Visiting Artist Exterior: - Connect Columbus Museum and College of Art & Design with the New Wexner Art Center. - 20 Parking Spaces - 2 Bus Drop-off Area

The Airport Master Plan implements two facades: Land-Side and Air-Side. The Land-Side is illustrated as a solid bar to depict the road and parking which grounds the airport and creates a separation from the Air-Side. The Air-Side branches from the Land-Side creating a solid then voids depicting hanger piers.

The growth of the terminal and education areas of Ohio State University’s Airport drove the design for a Master Plan that houses the two building at opposite ends of the site. The overall idea of the Master Plan, progression of piers with separation is continued in both the terminal and education building. The interior of the terminal continues the pier and separation idea splitting service and server spaces. Service space, located on the south side of the terminal, contains all the circulation spaces and private areas. Server space, located on the north side, has a larger total square footage containing semiprivate and public areas. The service verse server layout is continued in the education building with hangers flanking both sides. The terminal and education piers create their own passage leading to the respective building.

The project design incorporates multiple triads into one. Each of the three music hall designs utilizes a distinct form to deliver the best acoustics. The unique music halls are covered by a circular wrapping that creates interstitial spaces for the support programs and lobby area. The oval shape and curvatures created by the existing trees are continued into the Concert Hall design to relate the structure and the landscape. The three individual hall designs are combined to create a progression of hidden views. Every view gives an insight of what is next to come but no view allows you to see the entire shape. The lobby space utilizes the entire ground level connecting the interior and exterior of the spaces. The lobbies to each Music Hall are along the enclosed edge of the circle with their size relative to their respective hall capacity

SITE PLAN
CHICAGO PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY
N Chicago’s Riverwalk extends to the north side of the river where the Barack Obama Presidential Library is located. The north side of the Riverwalk connects the street to the river’s edge through a gradual downward slope creating the boundary for the building. The site is divided into four categories: absolute public, public, quasi, and private. The entrances to the building areas are adjacent to the Riverwalk. Chicago has well-defined city street and building grids. I overlaid multiple grids onto the site to create the building blocks for the structure. The building design uses the building blocks to create three peaks highlighting the interior areas. The blocks have the same width and depth dimensions with differing heights. The building blocks occasionally interrupt the Riverwalk, creating multiple areas where events can be held.

VIRTUAL REALITY: ABSTRACT SEMINAR
The norm for future Architects will be using computers to generate ideas for designing and solving problems. This will require less time for the preconstruction phase. This seminar was my attempt to integrate practical existing architectural ideas into a transient mode of architecture design in the computer. I used point, line, and plane computer theory for computer design integrating simple architectural objects like surface, column, and wall in predefined spaces. Each individual part was placed in a Cartesian orientation to define the space from that point. Multiple robots were then run to redefine the space based on a 9 square grid. The final form, being in virtual space, allows for multiple user orientations and exploring user experiences knowing the real world defines the orientation usage patterns.
