IDENTITY: HISTORY. ACCUMULATION. CULTURE. Repurposing of a Vacant Lot in an Area of Gentrification
Fourth Year Undergraduate
Spring 2011
Every site possesses an identity, established through the accumulation of objects and memories from people and development over time. The site in Avondale is anchored by trees and artifacts that form spaces for music, recreation, vending and social gatherings. Together, these spaces and events create history and glorify the culture of Avondale.

BACK IN THE DAY AIA Competition: Designing for the Aging | Fourth Year Undergraduate | Winter 2011 Collaboration with Benjamin Morris and Ingrid Schmidt
WE ARE INTERESTED IN STORIES. We feel that the most important aspect of aging is the opportunity to leave a legacy. We would like to encourage people to share their stories in conversation as well as in art forms. We found an existing neighborhood that we feel has been overlooked in terms of low-income and senior needs. The buildings show the wear of neglect, decay mingling with residual ornamentation to weave unique cultural tales.
Senior Living Unit
Creating a Narrative for Daily Routine The residents follow their daily routine from their porch, through the front room, up their stair and into their house. Their routine is symbolized by the structure on which they place their keys, their pills, their spices, their pictures. The structure is called the ‘ribbon’ and it flows through the collective spaces, pulling the people through portals of privacy.

The Celebration of Story
Spaces for Reminiscing and Creating New Memories A man plays the saxophone on the roof of the collective. Family members of the happy couple dance. A small girl wears red sparkly shoes, showing them off to everyone at the party. The happy couple is called on for a toast. It is their fiftieth wedding anniversary today.
