HOMETOWN MAP The Hometown Map project was an introduction to a semester of urban planning. My hometown is West Palm Beach so I thought the best way to present my town was showing how Henry Flagler developed the area. Without him, West Palm Beach would not be what it is now. I wanted to show the architecural buildings he contributed to the town and the railway system he started so people could travel throughout Florida in the early 1900s.

MIAMI RESILIENCY Adapting Residences for Climate Change was a design competition structured to engage participants in a case study of a Miami residence. These studies will serve as models for climate affected adaptation at a residential scale. Participants developed proposals for one of two provided sites; specific locations which represent two typical flood threats. The entries were required to propose resilient building and site adaptations, along with a strategy of implementation. This project aimed to challenge Miami residents and community builders to thrive in the face of climate change. Miami Resiliency was sponsored by the University of Miami School of Architecture, the High Waterline Project Miami, US Green Building Council and the American Institute of Architects Miami Chapter. The competition was organized by the University of Miami chapter of US Green Building Council Students. Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Rocco Ceo, Justine Velez, and Susan Szenasy served as the jury panel to evaluate submissions and select winning entries. My submission won Honorable Mention among twenty entries.

Site Plan
Perspective of Hall
The site of the Little School House was in Key West, Florida. The objective of the project was to design a preschool in a central location for the locals. The design was required to encourage locals to walk to the school instead of driving . The Little School House was designed with inspiration from the Schoolhouse in Seaside, Florida. It features a courtyard, playground, an assembly hall, and gated gardens for the classrooms on the first floor.

Section Through Courtyard and Roof Garden The objective of this project was to study building types. The program was to include live-work units, apartments with one to three bedrooms and studios. My design included first floor parking, a courtyard, a roof garden, a gymnasium, and an indoor pool. I used precedents such as the mission styled buildings and Cayala, Guatelama as inspirations.

To study the shape of the fruit, focused on line and contour drawings in an effort to understand the overall form, its geometry and structure, as well as the textures that define its various surfaces. We analyzed the fruit in section, elevation, and plan. Split Complmentary

The inspiration for the seed of the peach, was derived from ancient sacred geometry. The circular pattern inside the peach is known around the world as the “Seed of Life.� It is composed of multiple evenly-spaced overlapping circles. It has been used as a decorative motif since ancient times. The design forms a flower-like pattern with the symmetrical structure of a hexagon.

INTRODUCTION TO COLOR
Postparkasse This project focused on the study of the bay since repetitive elements is a common theme in architecture. I chose to analyze the Austrian Postal Savings Building by architect Otto Wager. The project was a lesson in scale, materiality, photoshop rendering, compositional layout, study of light, shade, and shadow. This was a first attempt at rendering digitally.

STRUCTURAL

ANALYTIQUE The objective of this exercise was to analyze the role (both formal and pragmatic) that structure plays in the design of buildings. The design is only a fragment of an imaginary building, detailing both the structure and its corresponding system of enclosure. The shape, form, geometry, proportion, inherent strength of materials and their composition in the building were to be evident and clearly expressed in the model. The main idea was to design a cantilever inspired by the wing hangar of the Heathrow Airport in London. Materials used for the building are steel and glass. The project was preceded by a study of the structural systems of the Larkin Administration Building by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Atocha Railway Station by Rafael Moneo.

MIAMI FISH MARKET The site for the Miami Fish Market is situated on a vacant parcel of land along the north bank of the Miami River, adjacent to the historic Lummus Park. The design of the market would provide a permanent market structure for the purchase of fresh local fish and produce. The requirements included: twenty to thirty stalls, a restaurant, storage, a cistern, and the enclosure had to provide a secured perimeter for the stalls that will be left vacant at night. Inspirations and precedents for the project were from Japanese gardens and structures. Elements of nature such as air and water were highly analyzed and incorporated into the design. Features of the project include the pond garden to retain water and the gardens on each side enclosing the market.

HOUSING IN PARIS Having focused on projects located exclusively in tropical weather in previous semesters, University of Miami professors challenged our design skills by having us design a mixed use residential building in the 19th district of Paris. The most challenging part of the design process was making sure to incorporate the history of the area while maintaining Parisian standards of beauty and architecture that we were not familiar with.

HOUSING IN PARIS The site strives to provide the neighborhood with a sustainable solution to many of France’s environmental problems, while providing for opportunities for social interation within the community. The building focuses on a solution incorporating nutrition and nature. The concept is an extension of France’s efforts to improve the quality of life to its citizens and tourists. The site features an aquaponic lab as an educational center, a fresh market to provide readily available organic food, a greenhouse, and a vegetable and roof garden. The aquaponic lab pictured to the right collects rain water to provide the most sustainable system.

THE GREEN DREAM
FOLLOW OUR DREAM & GET INVOLVED The THE Green Dream startedAT as aWYNWOOD commitment for the Clinton Global Initiative University. In GREEN DREAM @THEGREENDREAMWYNWOOD collaboration with Smitha Vasan, we wanted to bring awareness to the Miami community on climate change and educate citizens on how to reduce their carbon footprint in order to create a more sustainable future. Our goal is to adapt a shipping container in to an aquaponic greenhouse to create an attraction during Artwalk, a monthly artistically inclined event in the design district of Miami. We knew this would be the best way people could interact with the green movement. Each month we would change the theme of the event and collaborate with organizations and businesses to make each event interesting. It is an ongoing project we hope carries out for years to come.
