01 Etruscan Cultural Center The Center for the Study of Etruscan Culture and Artifacts is located in Volterra, Italy within the Tuscany region. Volterra started as an Etruscan City, then became a Roman City and then a walled Medieval City atop a high plateau, 1,500 ft. above the Tuscany valley floor. This completely walled city was originally served by four primary gate entries; however, only The Porta All’ Arco remains. This is where our site is located.

This institution will seek to confront and analyze a number of profound issues. It must establish a centerpiece structure, reflect an appropriate contemporary Architectural expression, record appropriately the legacy of both indigenous Etruscan peoples and immigrants, establish an ‘urban/campus’ presence, and establish a series of connective, reflective and interactive spaces. Our concept creates a symbol to the city, rebuilds the wall using a modern ‘arch’, and connects the Etruscan Gate with the Ruins.

02 Library in a Park Park in a Library Libraries are, in many ways, Parks - places to relax, places to explore, places to meet, places to find renewal. And Parks are, in many ways, Libraries - places to learn, places to study, places to experience, places to read. In the modern park and library, these definitions often overlap. Our design is driven by these overlaps - the Library activating programs in the Park, and the Park doing likewise in the Library. We saw where connections could happen on a literal level as well; where the gallery and forum spaces of the library spill into the park, and where the natural life of the park tunnels into the library, until they become inextricably linked. Park in Library, Library in Park.

01 Seiiki Boutique Hotel This boutique hotel offers retreat from the hectic Campustown at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Parents, students, and visiting professionals are within walking distance to the entire campus while still within their own quiet environment. Since the hotel is located on the campus of the most innovative universities in the US, it utilizes numerous “green� technologies to reduced its carbon footprint and strain on the local utility grid.

Rainwater Harvesting System • Captures and stores rainwater for irrigation and nonpotable water uses • Reduces wastewater load on city sewer system by 30%

Green Roof & Wall • Increases the effectiveness of assembly insulation • Reduces stormwater runoff by capturing rainwater • Reduces carbon dioxide in surrounding air

Fixed Louvers • Blocks direct light from entering and heating up the building • Indirect light reflected off lighting shelf to saturate interior with natural lighting and reduce the need for artificial lighting • Helps mitigate Seasonal Affective Disorder

Reflective Coating and One-way View Film • Reflects harmful UVA and UVB radiation • Prevents spaces from heating up • Creates privacy for users inside by reducing visibility into the building • Reduces load on HVAC system by 15%

22

Greywater Recycling System

Geothermal Energy

• Processes greywater (water from sinks, showers, etc) using an advanced filtration system • Although expensive, system is cost effective at this scale

• Utilizes the Earth’s constant ground temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit to assist in heating and cooling the building • During warm months energy is diverted to assist in heating hot water supply

02 Crossroads Public Library At the beginning I researched the demographics of the area to better understand the types of people who would be interacting with the site on a regular basis. I found that the area consists predominantly of affluent young people who value education. I designed a space that people could for collaboration in furthering their education or for leisure. To achieve this, I created two multi-story spaces: one for leisure, the other for collaboration. Additionally, several enclosed spaces provide interactive group learning for schools and community organizations. The entire library is lit uses indirect light to form a comfortable environment for the reading of physical and digital resources. The ADA accessible building allows for work, study, and play year round and will become a gathering hub for the community.

05 Shape & Line Project In this project we were required to create strict black and white masterpieces using only two different types of lines or shapes.

These hand drawn works taught us how to effectively use positive and negative space to guide an audience.

06 Nine Square Project This project was one of the first studio projects. Based on the original line drawing from square one (top left), the assignment was to design the next square using a different technique. The purpose was to emphasize the importance of line weights and how positive and negative spaces are created. This experiance greatly enhanced my spactial planning skills.
