ECUADORIA
When speculating on the future of water infrastructure for the next 50 years in the capitol city of Ecuador, the reciprocity between Quito’s need for a water infrastructure and how that form transforms the shape of the city remains the site for engagement. This project examines the architectural expression of a unified government, where all decisions are made within the public realm. Located in a rapidly growing city where a broken system has created a lack of trust from the people of Quito towards the current government, how can architecture define a level of transparency and accountability in a field that is typically closed off and private? This new center for government represents a step toward a new culture, an everyday symbol of what can happen when the whole country assembles towards one common goal.
Program: Water treatment tower, government offices, and public assembly Location: Quito, Ecuador Advanced Studio I Fall 2019

CONCEPT In traditional practices, the vertically-oriented symbol of power is arranged above the national assembly, where the public plaza is typically positioned looking onward. The modernist approach is to place the monument beside the assembly, with the public still located at an onlooking position. This proposal takes an opposite approach by seperating government offices from the country’s element of wealth, giving clean water - and power - back to the people. TRADITIONAL

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPEMENT As an intervention into a pre-existing reservoir located in the area projected to be Quito’s future city-center of Cumbayá, the tower provides a vertical representation of the water treatment process to be seen throughout the region. The concept of Reimann Summation is then used to organize the places of private action in order to maximize their impact on the tower face. Government officials exist within these places of private action before law is brought to the public.

Almost like two boxers dancing with one another in the ring, two forms detached from a single object representing both sets of program - appear tethered to eachother, almost mimicing one's own moves. Almost as a conceptual invertation of the two boxers throwing multi-versitive moves at one-another within a static perimeter, the interior program is held within five containers; superimposed through dynamic shells that mimic the jabs and dents that arise during a fight. Programmatically seperate, the two forms are connected through a single primary axis, centering on the key elements - the main boxing ring and corresponding audience.

PROCESS As an exploration of form and structure, these initial projects introduced concepts of formal identification and an investigation into creative techniques for wood construction. .Through the use of 3D printing, an abstract organic module is resused in a way that represents each piece of the classic Staunton chess set. The faceted pavillion became a formal exercise that transcended into the final product.

TOWER UYUNI
Circumstances Water is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity for our planet. We are creating innovative ways to lower our consumption of Earth's resources however our freshwater is still steadily depleting. In order to further sustain life, we as a human race need to create an innovative means of supplying fresh and potable water to people on a global scale. Freshwater collection is essential to human life and absolutely necessary to extend the lifespan of our species. The war on petroleum will eventually come to an end as oil is phased out of consumption, but with its end, the war on water will begin. As oceans rise and continually produce more saltwater, it is essential to take advantage of that as best we can. Freshwater is our most precious resource on this planet and this tower attempts to provide a solution for this detrimental problem.

TOWER UYUNI
SITE LOCATION We have designed a desalination structure to catalyze the development of water purification systems and how they may be implemented in sustaining emergent areas of the Earth. This skyscraper is located on Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat on Earth, in southeast Bolivia within the crest of the Andes Mountains. Lithium extraction from a pool of brine beneath the salt crust contributes to approximately 43% of the Earth's lithium supply, but does not contribute to the surrounding underdeveloped communities on the outskirts of the salt flat. These communities thrive almost entirely off of tourism with little subsistence farming to meet economic needs. Organic life ceases to thrive on this desolate land and a self-sufficient structure would potentially reestablish life. Left: Site location and analysis Below: Morphology diagram showing building development
PROCESS
EXECUTION The desalination skyscraper would harvest saltwater from the aquifer below the lithium brine. The freshwater produced would supply the communities consumption and be applied to a multi-tiered hydroponic system integrated into the towers interior. The salt byproduct from desalination would be dispersed and distributed onto a building envelope where natural salt crystals will form, providing a translucent skin to prohibit excess sunlight reflected by the salt flat. Over time the salt will accumulate on the structure and the communities may harvest it to further fuel their economies.

FRIESENHEIM SURROUND
Background This collaborative proposal for the Friesenheim Cave Research Center & Museum is located on one of the most important paleontological sites in the United States, specifically for its variety of Pleistocene vertebrate fossils , and is still actively studied by Concordia university. The cave is a sinkhole formed in the region’s karst topography where the only entrance, as documented since the earliest twentieth century exporations, is a vertical twenty-eight-foot shaft at the center of the four-acre site. Split between two structures that surround the cave enterance, we explored ways in which the form or structural components of the project could start to influence its programatic spaces within. As the long penetrated facde of the systematically-partitioned research facility filters guests into the site at the lower level, the museum at the opposite end creates a whimsical environment mimicing the publicly-unaccessable cave beneath while reacting to moments at the park above.

Programmatic Organization The programmatic requirements were broken into two categories: research and play. The research building became a frame for modular effeciency with a secondary skin that reacts to its interior program and solar direction. The landform at the opposite end of the cave enterance is formally driven by its site conditions; the structure creates a whimsical environment mimicing the publiclyunaccessable cave beneath while honoring moments at the park above.

FRAGMENTED REALITY
A design-build collaborative project in coordination with Architecture Studio III: Structural Applications. Through an exercise of structural exploration, we designed and fabricated a habitable pneumatic structure to explore how site(less) and program(less) architecture can be easily transported and placed in any location or orientation. Distributed into equally sized groups from shortest to tallest, we learned vital collaboration skills while designing and fabricating a pneumatic structure large enough to fit at least every member of the team. In conjunction with the idea of site(less) and program(less) architecture, painted sections are used to blur, or 'fragment,' a certain location or ideology and enhance the overall experience of the user.

PERPETUAL TENSION
A suspended museum of sculptural art that acts as a continuation of the mountains, while treating the environment Perched upon a foothill of the Blue Ridge mountain range in Asheville, North Carolina, the Asheville Museum of Sculptural Art optimizes access to northern light while providing users with an open view of the French Broad River and urban environment beyond. Emulating the shallow slopes of the nearby mountains, the museum responds to site conditions by creating a depressed entrance plaza with a terraced intertwining arrival. This allows visitors to experience several perspectives of the building and surrounding mountain valley. As industrialization swept across the region in the 18th century, pollution increased accordingly with urban development from the unsafe disposal of coal ash, threatening the long-term health of one of the most polluted rivers in north america and its surrounding environment To help invert the process, the reflecting pool doubles as a reverse osmosis purification system that uses greywater collected from retention and contaminated liquids redirected from the French Broad.

REVEALING VOID
A residential apartment and office building that remains imperceptible in the context of Charleston's historic district. Derived from the intricate dwellings unveiled within the regulated blocks that make up Charleston, South Carolina, The Revealing Void appears orthagonal from the exterior, yet opens to a unique space within. Other forms of this expression are portrayed through perforated panels that slide open to provide residents with additional natural light and close to present an organic design to passersby at night.

PROGRAMMATIC DEVELOPMENT Situated in a college environment, this residential mid-rise presents ground activators that appeal to local students, and live-work opportunities in a city that lacks workforce housing. Unique amenities capitalize on direct sunlight through an open centralized void that shifts towards the southern direction. Upperend apartments open to the south to profit from direct sun exposure, while lower-end housing receives diffused lighting options with a communal circulation. The seven story above-grade structure of the residential and office complex is composed of a two story composite steel base with structural steel framing above. One of the more prominent features, the sliding perforated panels, extend from the perimeter beams and attach back to each floor.

MEMENTO MORI ( TORIUM )
A non-physical connection between past and present. Memento Mori, latin for Remember (that you have) to die, is an object that serves as a warning or reminder of death. The Memento Mori (Torium) is a form of architecture in which death, or the termination of earthly existence, is celebrated. It is a place for the contemplation or experiential connection between this world and the next. As one must visit the past before understanding the presence of the future, multiple nodes - acting as connections between earth and the heavens - bypass the hyperspace of the present in order to connect one directly to the ancestors above. By creating tension through tight spaces within the Momento Mori (Torium), users feel an overwhelming presence that reminds them of the people that came before.

MEMENTO MORI ( TORIUM )
SITE ( LESS ) ARCHITECTURE Just as the remembrance of death can happen in many different ways, the Memento Mori (Torium) is siteless - not as a movable architecture - but as something that could be constructed in any orientation, on any topography, or at any location to remind occupants and observers of the Momento Mori theme.

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT Gottfried Semper's theory describes a building as a woven fabric, where a knot is seen as a primordial joint and style is the coincidence of a structure within the purpose of its origin. In the Memento Mori (Torium), a depressed ground plane allows users to experience the previous existence of their ancestors, where tight spaces between tall, overhanging forms encourages the connection with their predecessors in the heavens above.

CONSTRUCTION In a way to depict its site(less) characteristics by creating an easily transportable design, white translucent resin panels are attached to a tube steel skeletal frame by way of rigid steel joints. When natural light is non-obtainable, all four nodes are artificially lit from the inside and experienced through both layers of white translucent resin panels in order to, hypothetically, continue the non-physical connection.

SELECTED WORK
ONE VANDERBILT
Set to become the tallest office tower in Midtown after its initial completition in late 2020, One Vanderbilt will skillfully meet the market demands of Midtown East as it transforms the civic experience by bringing access from the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to the Grand Central District. Following the layered architectural language of neighboring New York City icons surrounding the site, Midtown’s new 1401 foot supertall will set LEED Gold standards while creating an unprecedented work experience with floor-to-floor heights reaching 17 feet. For most of my time on this project I would assist in creating design studies as changes came up or more detailed elements came into focus. In addition, I was incharge with keeping the 3d Rhino model up-to-date as more changes became resolved, this model was used for further studies and VR development. I would eventually assist with punchlisting, redlines, and keeping track of construction changes in Revit that were to be sent out as ASI (architect’s supplemental instruction) deliverables to the contractor and the DOB (department of buildings) for approval.

ONE BANGKOK FORUM
FORM DEVELOPMENT Through the use of heavy timber and painted alumnimum panels, the audtorium was seen as a void at the center of an exoshell. As the surrounding pre-funtion space becomes active at night, the forum acts as a becon; an icon for the city of Bangkok. As the overall form ‘lifts’ towards the plaza at the southwest corner, the branching modules thin at the top - fading from the exposed structural underside. Restrained by the column grid, each module retains seven sub-branches at the lowest level and lessens to three at the top within a larger floor-to-floor height. The change in color is also prevelant from the base to the upper levels. Left: Rendered roof plan and detail plans Below (left to right): Rendered elevations (west, south, east, north)

DOMAIN TOWER III
In order to expand the Domain complex, BOKA Powell was engaged to design a second office tower adjacent to Domain I. Upon completion, this glass curtinwall office building will be 19 stories with retail and restaurant space incorporated at the ground level. There are 9 levels of structured parking beneath the office space, with an additional below grade level reserved for executives. A two story amenity space on floors 10 and 11 will feature floor to ceiling glass windows, and additional greenspace. The project hopes to achieve LEED certification. In addition to working on the design developement and LEED document sets during my involvement on this project, design studies included modifications to envelope and garage ventillation, vertical circulation, design of the amenity level, and studies on the porte cache at ground level.

DAYLIGHTING In order to achieve LEED daylight and quality views credits for the project, I analyzed each floorplate to prove a minimum qualifing ratio. The green area in the amenity level plan to the left represents locations in which there is ateast 90 degrees of access to exterior views.

PARALLEL FLUX
INSTALLATION IN NATURE The distance between the parallel frames grows as the visitor moves through the installation and towards the center. At the right moment, the structure opens up to reveal the serenity of the pond. The pause in rhythm and opening between the frames allows one to simultaneously experience the dynamic energy juxtaposed to the larger peaceful setting of the garden. Materials: Yellow pine, blackened steel, neon bungee, UV Right: Installation, as seen from across the pond at the UMLAUF, illuminated by blacklight (Bret Brookshire)

SELECTED WORK
TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY
Good architecture not only relies on the application of thoughtful design , but also requires a thorough understanding of the environment. Through artfully capturing various moments at unique perspectives, photography has allowed me to perceive details that I would not have otherwise noticed. Pieces have been selected from my travels, here and abroad, over the past few years.

SELECTED WORK
PRODUCTION Through forming layers of information with a KUKA robotic arm, I explored ways in which heat-formed iridescence could be projected on an opposing surface. By combining the use of “bare-risen” areas and applying parametric ‘dimples’ to highlight deeper crevices, I could create higher contrasting reflections.
