TACT I L E U RB A N I SM- PL ATFOR M OF DIVE R S ITY PROFESSOR: NICO LARCO | SPRING 2020 3-PERSON TEAM PROJECT

As designers, it is critical that we recognize the disparity that exists between different groups and their ability to access public space. In order to create more equitable and inclusive environments, design must address this disparity while providing amenities and safe spaces for diverse uses and needs. Tactile Urbanism was our response to this requirement, as a way to utilize scarce resources to activate spaces and facilitate growth, diversity, and equity. Jake Bryda and Josymar Rodriguez were my partners in this endeavor. Together, we created a framework for facilitating Community, Recreation, Culture, Work, and Environment, to foster a sense of place and ownership within the neighborhood. Within this framework, I developed a toolkit of furniture + utility components for adapting spaces and infrastructure. This nimble and flexible approach allows for quick interventions and experimentation, resulting in more successful and resilient spaces. We proposed investing in 5 existing anchors within the neighborhood, to promote and support further development and activate the neighborhood around it, while also considering how different groups would utilize or occupy each space, to increase access and equity. 6

landscape render

WINTER 2020

The Inflection Point re-imagines how housing could tackle the dual challenges of affordable housing and climate change in this country. Our proposal for the redevelopment of Dekum Court in Portland rethinks what is possible, creating a positive carbon and social footprint. Our approach was to develop a mass-timber framework that incorporates components to address infrastructure, landscape, structure, and canopy systems. These components meet the needs of the community, from housing and gardens, to water collection and the production of energy and food. I collaborated with Josymar Rodriguez, Satoru Igarashi, and Katherine Martin on this project, while leading on the landscape components, systems integration, project management, and presentation graphics. We submitted this project for the Warming climate change competition, and were also invited to present to the Oregon AIA.

[ RE]G EN ER ATION PROFESSOR: YIANNI DOULIS | AUTUMN 2019

[RE]Generation is envisioned as a holistic mental and physical health center that serves the inner Portland community. It’s location is an eccentric L-shaped site, wedged between a residential area and a commercial district. Patient privacy was a critical concern, though the client—Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare—wanted a stronger presence in the community. My proposal was to organize the building with a discrete, private entrance, and a more public facing entrance with a cafe space and open atrium to draw visitors in. This comfortable third-space allows people to interface with the center, hopefully connecting the healthcare services with those who may need help but fall in the gap between emergency and mainstream care. The clinical and office spaces are further up within the building, surrounded by a translucent veil that offers privacy while projecting a soft light to the community like a paper lantern. The main circulation is at the light-filled central atrium, which reaches up to the rooftop gardens, which offer healing and respite within the busy neighborhood. 14

Working as the GE for the Urbanism Next Center was a fast-paced and fascinating introduction to the way that new technology is shaping urban design, planning, and architecture. Within this academic setting I gained a lot of insight into the institutional processes involved in funding, researching, writing, and disseminating cutting-edge information within the field. This work also tied in directly with the urban design focus of my graduate work at the time, understanding the implications of new tech on the form, development, and occupancy of buildings and urban spaces. While I was there I closely collaborated with the head directors and colleagues on a number of projects and tasks, like writing white papers, producing infographics and maps, laying out and designing 140 page reports, editing video, organizing events, performing interviews, and conducting research. 20

DOTLOOP OFFICE EXPA NSION ROLE: DESIGN + PRODUCTION, S.D. + C.D. | 2017 P.A.: JEFF PEARSON, I.D.: LAUREN FARQUAR

Dotloop is a young, growing tech company based in Cincinnati. When the company saw explosive growth and investment by West-coast based Zillow Group, the founders decided it was important to stick with their roots in Cincinnati. The location in historic Longworth Hall, an industrial train depot provided an interesting backdrop. The diverse company organization required extensive programming interviews and creative solutions to meet the needs of each team. I was heavily involved in the planning and design for this project. The office culture of Dotloop is open and boisterous, so in order to provide some separation between departments we concentrated meeting spaces, amenities, and functions in a common core, linked by a sculptural, 3-story stair that I designed. The company culture is young and playful, so much of the furniture and finishes are colorful and casual. I also designed custom environmental graphics for the conference rooms, which correspond to themes chosen by the client like “Fish Tank” and the “Queen City.” While the new elements are clean and modern, we paid particular attention to preserving and highlighting the industrial shell. photography credit: Ross Van Pelt DOTLOOP OFFICE- PLATTE

CINCINNATI DESIGN AWARD 2019 ROLE: ARCHITECTURE + GRAPHIC DESIGN BRAND IDENTITY: KEREN KABO

The concept behind Social, O.T.R. was a restaurant that would be a neighborhood, fine-dining experience, while also providing a platform for lifting people out of poverty. A collaboration between the Cincinnati-based social-services provider CityLink and the Findlay Market association, Social is a full-service restaurant where people with fewer opportunities can train and become full-time culinary professionals. I had the great privilege to work on the entire concept of this restaurant, from the schematic design of the restaurant, construction documents, construction administration, and even the brand identity of the restaurant itself. I collaborated with our in-house graphic designer, Keren Kabo to create the logo, color palette, and identity package. And while I was the lead on the entire project, Amy East was P.M., Courtney Zunis assisted with production, and Caity Osborn was on I.D. 26

2016-17

For Hi-Mark, the building owner approached us with an interesting challenge: convert a small, historic house in a flood-prone part of the East End, Cincinnati into a new bar and restaurant. Our solution was not to fight the flood, but embrace it, instead raising the floors 3’ above the 100-year floodplain and creating new openings and relationships. The historic building was left raw and exposed, with existing window sills, fireplaces, and joists juxtaposed against the new, more industrial floor construction. The overall concept of the restaurant was also informed by the flood, with reference to the historic 1937’ flood level which rose 10’ above the first floor. The end result is a unique, gritty space that exudes a neighborhood vibe and hometown charm. I led the project from design development through construction, navigating the complex issues of FEMA flood regulations, historic preservation, zoning, accessibility, and structural reinforcement. I produced all the final drawings and construction documents. This project also received a 2017 Cincinnati Design Award for historic adaptive reuse. photography credit: Ross Van Pelt HI-MARK BAR- PLATTE

Stafford is a mixed-use development which combines three historic buildings. The third building had extensive damage after the rear partially collapsed from neglect. The variety of existing conditions offered the chance to create dramatically different condominiums across the project, from 370 sf “micro” apartments to 2-story lofted townhouses. A cool and natural palette was used to create clean and welcoming apartments that bathe in natural light and evoke a mid-century modern aesthetic. The small footprints allowed for more efficient and affordable apartments, catering to people with varied economic means looking to live in this walkable, urban neighborhood. I collaborated on the interiors and was responsible for the unit layouts and drawing work, with guidance from Luke Field. completed photography credit: Ross Van Pelt 32

Mahlum places a lot of value in designing spaces that improve people’s well-being through thoughtful, passive design. Their work in healthcare and education is sensitive to site, sustainability, and light. I participated in design charettes, creating Revit models, attending meetings, and marketing presentations. One of the largest projects I worked on was a hospital campus master plan, where we proposed an extensive green roof with a tiered cafeteria.

My first co-op at Stoss LU in Boston was a fastpaced and immersive introduction to a competitive studio environment. I learned how to quickly iterate, create presentation graphics, and assemble marketing presentations using tools like Rhino, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I also received a lot of experience in landscape urbanism, learning how green infrastructure and urban ecologies can restore environments and improve cities. I worked on competitions and masterplanning for an arts district in Detroit, a new plaza at Harvard University, and streetscaping in Boston.

OFFICE FOR U R BA N R ES EARCH PROFESSOR: VICTORIA MEYERS |

SPRING 2014

Initially proposed as a hacker-maker space and office for Urban Outfitters in Williamsburg, NY, the O.U.R. became a vision of an accessible space for the imaginative reinvention of our urban cores. The workspace operates as a machine for creation and experimentation, with open floor plans, meeting rooms, lofted offices, and shifting floor plates for flexible programming. The structure itself is a series of exaggerated steel arches which support an articulated, translucent fabric skin over an interior shell of glazing. This creates diffuse light throughout the workspace, as well as an iconic form within the context of the mostly industrial area.

I designed the form of the roof through sketching before creating it in Rhino, and then out of vellum + wood as a physical light study model. The renderings were a combination of Rhino, Photoshop, and hand-drawing. During my research and site visit, I was inspired by the gritty quality of the Williamsburg neighborhood and I produced a lot of collage studies with Photoshop and hand-drawing. This exploration developed into a critique of gentrification and urban renewal, imagining an apocalyptic future where underdeveloped neighborhoods become recycled and turned into modern developments by automatic machinery.

C E N T E R FOR CON TEMP OR A RY S CU LPTU R E PROFESSOR: JERRY LARSON | AUTUMN 2013

The Center for Contemporary Sculpture is envisioned as a programmatic extension to the Art Institute of Chicago at Millennium Park. The Center includes a museum for showing large-scale sculptures and art installations, an elevated green space and sculpture garden, and an archive that will catalogue pieces significant to Chicago’s history or housed in the museum. This addition would create a new platform for the exhibition, restoration, and collection of contemporary public sculpture. The graphics are a combination of Rhino, hand-drawing , and Photoshop.

MT. ADAMS CULINARY ACADEMY PROFESSOR: LIZ RIORDEN | SPRING 2013

MACA is both a culinary school and event center at the heart of Mt. Adams, one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful and historic neighborhoods. The sloping topography and views of the Ohio River, surrounding neighborhood, Eden Park, and downtown Cincinnati demanded a high degree of sensitivity to site placement and relationship to the landscape. The design distinguishes between the school and event center through their tectonics and relationship to the site. Through a strategy of offset classrooms and open circulation, the school visually bridges the upper and lower landscapes. The offsets allow for accessible roof terraces which would be used for conducting research on urban farming techniques.

S O U ND C LO U D I N STA L L ATION PROFESSOR: MING TANG | SPRING 2013 4-PERSON TEAM PROJECT

This installation was the winning design in a competition for the Niehoff Urban Studio in Clifton, OH. The prompt was to create a parametric-designed installation that could absorb sound, be made of inexpensive, lightweight materials, and be digitally fabricated. After winning the commission, my group of four went forward with schematic design, fabrication templates, and eventually full-scale prototyping. The system was built from a CNC’d structural plywood grid and lasercut cardstock substructure and units. Our group was composed of Prince Osemwengie, David Burgei, Sydney Brown, and myself. 46

HOUSE FOR A CERAMICIST PROFESSOR: VINCE SANSALONE | SUMMER 2012

This proposal is for an artist retreat within the rural farming community of Grailville in SW Ohio. The main considerations were the topography and site layout. The final design takes advantage of a grove of trees and open grasslands to the north and south to facilitate air circulation, provide passive cooling, and allow views through the building. Its low design and minimal material palette help it to blend into the surrounding landscape while maintaining a modern aesthetic. In this studio, I used charcoal + ink to create study drawings, and used Rhino + physical models to develop the form, laminating recycled newspaper to create the topography.

I N T E R LOC K I NG S PATIA L CON STR U CT PROFESSOR: MELANIE SWICK | SPRING 2011 12-PERSON TEAM PROJECT

The goal of this project was to create an individual unit that could be prototyped, replicated, fabricated, and then assembled into larger spatial configurations and compositions. In order to produce a large array of units, we were economical in our use of materials, taking high-grade wood studs and splitting, mitering, and gluing the individual pieces to create the larger form. The unit was designed with a number of possible interlocking connections which resulted in numerous structures and formations, some of which were serendipitous. Different tasks were delegated amongst the group, and I led the schematic design and prototyping of the unit. 50

I believe strongly that a great architect should able to utilize all the tools available to them to design, investigate, and illustrate their ideas. This means being proficient in both digital and physical mediums. Throughout my career, I’ve continued to develop my ability to sketch and hand-draw. This includes little schematic doodles, human figure drawing, onsite sketching, and detailed pen + ink illustrations. I’ve also developed a style of rendering that employs digital models and rendering software, but adds hand-drawn and photoshopped effects to create a more evocative and engaging image. I draw not just to improve my craft, but also for the love of the art. DRAWING + SKETCHING

PHOTOGRAPHY + TRAVEL ONGOING

In the time during and especially after school, I have had some amazing opportunities to travel. Growing up, we weren’t able to afford big trips, so the first chance I took I went to Cuzco, Peru for a week. After graduating, I got married to a woman from Nepal and together we have travelled all over: Hong Kong, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bangkok, Koh Yoh Noi, Seoul, Austin, the Smoky’s, and drove up the Pacific Northwest Coast from SF to Seattle. I take great inspiration from each place I explore, trying to get off the beaten path and engage with the culture. Photography is an excellent means to record and study a place, and continue to draw inspiration from it. 56
