‘ABOUT ME’

One day I came home from third grade and told my parents I wanted to be an artist. For the rst time but undoubtedly not the last, I was told I could not make a living doing what I loved. At the time I went back to angrily coloring with crayons, believing art was limited to a piece of paper. Looking back at my 9-year-old self, I smile and laugh as I remind myself art is everywhere. Art is in the way you present yourself, art is in landscapes and sounds, art is in the way the birds' chirp or the wordless music in the elevator, even the simplest things as the even-ness of a book’s pages contain art. This non-conventional form of art is the art I love to surround myself with as a new designer.

Since I joined the University of Georgia, I have adopted many more ambitions in life. However, becoming an artist never dulled. I hope to complete a master's in architecture after completing my bachelors in landscape architecture. When I join the workforce, I want to be at the forefront of technology collaborating with the greatest minds to create the next best advancement in architecture. Sounds like a dream, yet every day these dreams are becoming a reality with 3D printed homes to end homelessness and sustainable infrastructure to combat CO2 emissions, and I want to be a part of it. Not only creating solutions but making art in the process. One day I hope to be able to tell my 9-year-old self I have made a living doing what I love.

“Courtyards” “Luxury Housing’

Many luxury homes have indoor or outdoor courtyards and gardens with lavish artwork and landscaping in addition to luxury backyards. An inner courtyard in your home filters natural light into areas that might otherwise be dark. This area is a private oasis protected from neighbors with a patch of ground as well as the sky that allows you to connect to the outside when combined with well-planned plants.

Located at the southern edge of Marseille, France, on the west side of boulevard Michelet just south of the Prado junction, the architect Le Corbusier designed the Unité d’Habitation to resemble the streets of a neighborhood. With its human proportions, chunky pilotis, and interior "streets", the Unité d’Habitation has redefined high-density housing by reconstructing a city inside an 18-story slab block. If one climbs these 18-stories and looks down, they will see that the building is situated in the heart of a large park, its main elevations facing East towards the mountains and West towards the sea.

HABITAT

CASE STUDY: ‘UNITE MD’HABITATION’

The internal streets appear once every three oors with most of the apartments having two living spaces directly on top of each other. Large windows allow for the viewing of landscapes to the east and west sides of the building. The exterior streets wrap around the building in a continuous loop with an exit through the main plaza heading out towards the city.

The Unité d’Habitation in Marseille brings together Le Corbusier’s idea for communal living with the demands of post-war France. Completed in 1952 in Marseille, France, after World War II, the need for housing was at a remarkable high. The immense Unite d’Habitation contains an internal shopping street halfway up, a recreation ground and children's nursery on the roof, and a generous surrounding area of parkland made possible by the density of the accommodation in the building itself. At 165m long, 24m wide, and 56m high the Unité d’Habitation sets a commanding presence in the landscape. There are 337 apartment units and 23 different types of layout. Le Corbusier designed the units to span from each side of the building, in addition to having a doubleheight living space reducing the number of required halls to one every three floors. The grand pilotis and imposing concrete facades sitting similarly they would in a park gives the highrise an imposing sculptural feel. The roof is entirely given to the public for a shared space with elements on top that are purely sculptural.

My design focuses on the ability to create a contrasting new environment in the center of Athens while still designing per the client’s requests. Leaning towards a more traditional design similar to Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel written 1911, the Secret Garden is designed with elegance and timelessness. The neighborhood is not souling designed for living but enjoying.

The feeling of being trapped. Generation Z grew up in a society where we were constantly told that there were problems to fix, with no guidance on how to fix them. This is the exploration of truth vs. lies in our society & the feelings of being trapped by the search to distinguish them from each other. Essentially, our generation has been thrown into this world, been fed lies & truths about societal issues, and is trying to discern them through trusting their own instincts.
