Pico Street Pavilion This studio began with a trip to Los Angeles in an attempt to pinpoint how to better address issues tied to the street. The studio focused on how to make Los Angeles more walkable with a redesign of the South Park district in Downtown. After a master plan was proposed, individual parcels were created and designed. In my design, I focused on developing a pavilion and park in the center of our site. The pavilion was flanked by two mixed-use buildings and a restaurant with a park in the middle, thus creating a more walkable environment. Prof. Terry Moor Advanced Topics Studio

South End Culinary School This studio called for the design of a culinary institute in Boston’s South End. In this particular studio, the focus was on a complete, functional building. The studio was meant to challenge us to focus on technical aspects to building design by focusing on facade, structural, and mechanical systems. The design here focused on three main building functions and how those programs interact. The building also had a unique double facade system to add a layer to the facade.

Parker Street Roxbury Crossing Connection The community design studio started with a redesign of the Roxbury Crossing neighborhood and culminated with the class designing individual parcels. The redevelopment of the area focused on a series of connections that could be made through the site and surrounding communities. The parcel design focused on a mixed-use building that featured retail first floor and residential units on top. The design focused around a play on the public and private spaces within the block.

Performance Art Center The design for this project called for the creation of a performance art center. Located on a steep slope, my design focuses on two building masses and how one travels between the two. The design takes shape with two prominent retaining walls, accessible ramping located within, and the main program of the building cantelevering off of the walls. The retaining walls take a sculptural quality to inform their location on the site, within a large sculpture garden and museum . Prof. Aaron Weinert Site & Landscape Studio

Music Performance Center The design for this project called for the creation of a Music Performance Center. The design related to the structure of the boardwalk below as well as the circulation through the site. Both take the shape of an “X” and inform the layout as well as structure of the building. The structure is a series of larger trusses that create the shape of an X to mimic the underlying structure of the site. The circulation into the main performance space is accessed in two manners, via the boardwalk and from within. These paths also inform the “X”. Prof. Troy Peters Site & Landscape Studio

Chair & Desk Fabrication Digital Studies was an elective in which we were asked to design and fabricate a chair. My design focuses on layering similar to what is found in sedimentary rock. The chair is made with two different profiles, one for the seat and one for the legs, and it is through the layering of these profiles that the chair takes shape. It is made with oak plywood and two 1� dowels to hold the chair together. Prof. Daniel Gelormini Prof. Jarrod Steinmark Digital Studies & Objectives
