COMMUNITY EATERY FOOD AND CULTURAL HUB PROJECT: Resturant CLASS: ARCH 401 Design V- Building Design I SEMESTER: Fall 2019 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Brian Grieb LOCATION: Baltimore, MD This semester was centered around food and process of its production. The objective of this project was to develop and design a community eatery that introduces more food options to the Old Goucher neighborhood. The eatery will educate residents on how to grow their own food and have share spaces to trade goods and recipes with others. The Community eatery will introduce the community to more healthier and diverse food options. The eatery will serve the Old Goucher neighborhood in Baltimore City. The neighborhood is a developing community in the city, and is full of working professionals. The site is located between two busy one way streets that runs north and south. The site is also split by a small road that currently serves more as an alley. The design is separated into 3 sections; Grow+Share, Garage Bar, and Grow+Eat. Grow+Share is a large share space with a second level grow space for the community. This allows for the community to share crops as soon as they are harvested from the green house. The share space also has garage doors that open up to allow interaction with the food trucks that will bring more diverse foods to the site. Grow+Eat is a small restaurant that has it’s own private grow room for small crops and spices. Existing garage will be reused for a small bar and sitting area.

JOSHUA TREE VISITORS CENTER JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK PROJECT: Visitors Center CLASS: ARCH 202 Design II SEMESTER: Spring 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Calvin McCargo LOCATION: Twentynine Palms, CA For this competition we were asked to develop and design a visitors center for Joshua Tree national park that embodies the goal and aesthetic of the national park. To begin developing our visitors we studied other visitors centers, both international and domestic and analyzed how they organized their programs. The design goal entering the development phase was to create a visitor’s center that influences the procession of daily visitors while responding to the surrounding site. During my research I discovered a relationship between different types of movement experienced on the site. The native people traveled to the Colorado river from the Joshua Tree park land for a new home, water movement due to the swale on the east region of the site, and the daily visitor traffic on the landscape. Developing a circular building influences circulation and views of the rock formations. The sloped roof opens up to the surrounding landscape and the design’s simplicity yields importance to the beauty of the rock formations and surrounding Joshua Trees on the site. SERVICES

HARLEM AVE PAVILION COMMUNITY PAVILION PROJECT: Park Pavilion CLASS: ARCH 202 Design II SEMESTER: Spring 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Calvin McCargo LOCATION: Baltimore, MD While exploring and conducting a site analysis of a lot that stands on Harlem Avenue in Baltimore, MD, spatial moments and textures of materials were captured on and around the site. The final three perceptions displays the connection that natural elements have with structure, the contrast of different materials that display the rhythm and chaos of the site. I explored the density and sparsity of the arrangement of natural elements. Working with Landscape Architecture students, the vegetation and circulation were studied and analyzed. This research lead to the redevelopment of the site to correspond with human and natural interaction. From the extractions and abstractions of spatial moments and textures that displayed connection and void, these elements were integrated into a concept through the use of a bridge to connect the site to the pavilion and incorporating voids in the facade which allowed natural lighting into the picnic area.
SITE ANALYSIS The site was left vacant since an apartment building once occupied the site. The lot has served as a dumping field and a walking path for residences in the community.

HOUSING TYPOLOGY BALTIMORE CITY HOUSING TYPOLOGY STUDY PROJECT: Housing CLASS: ARCH 301 Design III- Baltimore Housing SEMESTER: Fall 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Howard Mack
Exploring the comparsion of the two common urban housing types, comparing the rowhouse and the lowrise apartment. By comparing these two typologies, we were be able to compare their density and diversity. Using the iterative design process to develop two iterations of a rowhouse and a lowrise apartment. We used the same given site to manipulate their spatial possibilities and variety. In order to develop our understanding of the two types of housing we studied a precedent of different rowhouses and how they are aggre-gated together. We also analyzed daylighting, program, and circulation through the space. The two rowhouses had two different widths, 16 ft and 20 ft. The 20 ft wide rowhouse was designed for a young couple that works from home. The rowhouse includes a private third level with offices and meeting area. The hybrid housing is a combination of both the apartment and rowhouse typology. The hybrid housing also includes makers space that allows for interaction between the residents and the community as a whole. ROWHOUSE 2

HYBRID HOUSING ROWHOME AND APARTMENT TYPOLOGY PROJECT: Housing CLASS: ARCH 301 Design III- Baltimore Housing SEMESTER: Fall 2018 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Howard Mack This Hybrid Housing project explores innovative solutions for low-density urban housing using hybrids of the two common urban housing types, the Rowhouse and the Lowrise Apartment. In our groups, we investigated the spatial possibilities and proposed a hybrid housing type that combines features of both types of typologies. The user of the hybrid housing is both the young couple working from home and the couple with children. The block assigned to our group had the responsiblility to respond to the school, situated south of the site and also the library and park situated north of our site. The surrounding blocks were designed by another group in the project prior. We chose to respond to both sides of the site, allowing a connection between the two sides. The atrium serves as the region that is situated between two elements, in this project the elements are the school and the park/library. The maker space connects both of these elements. This hybrid housing includes two-bedroom and three-bedroom units and two rowhomes, totaling 16 units. Each apartment unit has its own balcony, and the units orientated towards the south have their own private green wall and shutters. In our design group I was responsible for the unit layouts and renderings.

PARK HEIGHTS REDEVELOPMENT OF PARK HEIGHTS PROJECT: Urban Redevelopment CLASS: ARCH 302 Design IV- Urban Design SEMESTER: Spring 2019 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Samia Kirchner LOCATION: Baltimore, MD Morgan State University school of Architecture and Planning was offered a service learning opportunity to work with the Park Heights neighborhood in West Baltimore. Park Heights is a majority African-American neighborhood and is home to the Pimlico Race Track which is home to the Preakness Horse Race. The neighborhood has been disinvested in for over 50 years and now the city, stakeholders, and residences are looking to redevelop the neighborhood and has asked Morgan State University to conduct research on possible design ideas. Our journey began while meeting with stakeholders and residences and conducting multiple designcharrettes. Through our meetings we discussed the issues with the main corridor of the neighborhood, which is Park Heights Avenue. The road connects the top and bottom of the neighborhood. Each group selected interventions to focus on and my group decided to solve the issue with the central corridor and develop a TOD proposal. As a group we want to introduce new forms of transportation while reintroducing old forms. This will slow down traffic on the road as well as welcome other developer to develop in the neighborhood. I was tasked with site diagrams and developing visuals for the proposed Park Heights Boulevard.

In this project we pushed the boundaries of a selected building material through an exploration of detailing that supports our pavilion design. As a group we selected metal as our building material, as metal was a material that is easy to manipulate while still keeping it’s strength and integrity. My task in our group was to produce the detailed drawing as we worked together on the section model.

During the summer of 2019 I was offered the oppurtunity to be a summer intern at FXCollaborative in New York City. I was welcomed into the great studio culture at FXC and during my free time I picked up photography in order to capture the great architecture in the city. It was my goal during the summer to visit each borough in New York City and capture images from their key locations. I was able to visit great venues such as the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, Central Park in Manhattan, and the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Each adventure was a new oppurtunity to experience the diversity and culture in the city as I was able to meet people from all over the world.

CENTER for the STUDY and PRESERVATION on ENDANGERED SPECIES INTERNATIONAL DESIGN STUDIO PROJECT: Visitor and Research Center CLASS: ARCH 611 Design Studio SEMESTER: Fall 2021 INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Carlos Jimenez LOCATION: Nicoya Peninsula, Guanacaste, Costa Rica The Center for the Study and Preservation of Endangered Species not only treats animals that are hurt but the center also educates visitors about the natural ecosystem of Costa Rica. The goal of this design was to create a sheltered campus for research and learning that still has connections to the surrounding environment. The program includes circulation that is secure and protected but you still experience the tropical climate of Costa Rica. Thresholds are created to divide private and public space but as to allow access to the other side of the site. The massing steps down with the natural topography of the site which terminates at a observation platform that is connected to the center by a bridge. The entire center is protected by a sloping roof providing protection from the regions rainy seasons but also to achieve water collection.
