RECIPROCITY
01 project description Mending an Ecosystem through a Floating Community proposes an innovative solution for the complex issues of Louisville Kentucky including neglected space adjacent to existing highway infrastructure as well as sea level rise. The proposal reclaims the water’s edge by pulling in the shoreline underneath I-64 and adapting the adjacent flood wall condition to provide pedestrian connectivity to the water. Floating buildings activate a lively public space that reclaims space adjacent to the existing Interstate infrastructure. Reciprocity also will leverage mussel farming to create a revitalized, sustainable ecosystem featuring on-site greywater filtration, learning opportunities for the community, farming jobs, restaurant supply and revenue, and a beautified shoreline. Just as a mussel grows on its rope, RECIPROCITY features clusters of structures at a variety of scales, providing a human scale to the large project. It is zoned to a final density of 35 one-bedroom and 30 two-bedroom units accompanied by 3 restaurants and 15 assorted recreational shops and spaces. awards 2020 SARA’s Student Design Award | Award of Honor AIA Columbia 2019 Fellowship Competition | Honorable Mention medium hand sketching . sketchup . revit enscape. psd . ill partner Lindsey Sinisi

ASHEVILLE FUEL
02 project description Asheville, South Carolina is now facing rising numbers in the retired population along with their at-risk youth. This design takes these two communities and brings them together to interact, work and find a place in their city together. The side includes a mixed-use residential building, a restaurant with supporting culinary classrooms and institute above, and a beer hall supported by a test kitchen. All three buildings work off of two axes. From north to south the axis breaks through the urban wall of the mixed use building to offer a vista of residential Asheville. The second axis follows the urban wall and separates the masses on site to offer an interior path of circulation and use. Combined, these axes work to form a new vernacular that promotes human interaction and community growth. On site the retired community of Asheville has the opportunity to get trained to teach members of the at-risk community who will have the opportunity to live work and learn to become a chef and contribute to one of Nashville’s growing markets. medium hand sketching . revit . psd . ill chipboard + basswood model

NOMADIC ADOLESCENT
03 project description This five day mini project was a material and light exploration to develop a pop-up library for a nomadic adolescent traveling the Ligurian Coast of Italy. My proposal utilizes the forward and reverse origami folds to create a flat-pack pop-up library for one individual. The folds share a commonality with the user, an adolescent, by having both dependent and independent moments. These moments can be explored by the adolescent themselves when deploying the structure and taking their next few steps in their life to become a dependent individual. Through studying light and wind I was able to reach the nostalgic phenomenology of my own personal childhood. Memories of running through the yard - in and out of sheets on the clothing line with no care in the world - but filled with fascination with the world. The user of this library is reminded of who they are and offered a naturally-lit, peaceful space to reflect and grow their intellectual self medium hand modeling . photoshop

PARADIGM SHIFT
04 project description This three week design project required a new built sacred space for Clemson University’s campus that was to be accessible and welcome to all religions and beliefs. The site location, located along two main axes of campus, sat on the boarder of private and public space on the south east side of campus along a hillside ranging from 0-26 feet in elevation. The challenge of this project was designing a space that could be defined in its own way by the user while creating a beautiful and meaningful piece of architecture. With this project I wanted create a place of new meaning, unlike any place on campus which offered social and sacred space while linking it to the campus axes. My design consisted of two heavy white buildings which were anchored by a recessed floor-plate and ground floor and was covered by a secondary skin which wrapped over the two large masses. The recessed floor plates and lower floors allowed for ‘light from below’ which one could experience when passing into the thick layer of the building. The second layer of facade allowed for a covered and separated circulation space one could experience without being fully exposed to the main building programs. medium skup . graphite . watercolor . cardboad . foam

RESILIENT CHARLESTON
05 project description Charleston, South Carolina is well known for its historical architecture. From King Street to the waters edge the city roars with historical and architectural detail. But if you look north of King Street, past the Ravenel Bridge, there is opportunity to step into a new typology of architecture - one that is resilient to the rising tides and one that is robust, to push the limits of current Charleston zoning. This four week project began with a park design where we determined the best resilient approaches to a bluegreen site. Following this park design came a building design adjacent to the site. We again addressed the current rising tides and approached the site in a new language. The final design concept raised the building footprint to the FEMA 100-year floodline and allowed the sidewalk to flood. The building became resilient while adapting to changing climatic conditions. Through section the facade was eroded to allow for a human-nature connection to continue which allows a subtle transition into the climate controlled residential units above. medium hand sketching . sketchup . psd partner Celia Gannaway - park design

06 conprehensive studio description Tyndall Air Force Base, located on the barrier island just south of Panama City, FL, sustained catastrophic damage during hurricane Michael in the fall of 2018. This category 5 hurricane ripped through the heart of Tyndall AFB and left little to nothing remaining. With millions of dollars in damage and the opportunity to rebuild the Base, we are put in charge of sparking a new outlook for the US Air Force and planting a feed for the future and inspiring Airmen for generations to come. As a grant based studio we are tasked to design a
