01 Isekai Bowling Green State University Year: 2019 Location: Bowling Green, Ohio Program: Tiny home for a BGSU graduate student.

Isekai: a fantasy subgenre of Japanese light novels, manga, anime, and video games. Isekai works revolve around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe, usually a fantasy world.

The goal of this building is to allow a Graduate Japanese major to experience a traditional Japanese home and lifestyle while being still able to attend Bowling Green State University’s main campus. After walking through the door, you are taken on an adventure in this immersive one of a kind graduate home three minutes away from the heart of campus.

01. Isekai When stepping through the door of a traditional Japanese home or apartment, you enter the genkan. This entry way houses built in shoe storage for slippers which are required to enter further into the home. When stepping up onto the raised floor there are two options presented. The first, on the left, leads you to the main living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. The second, on the right, is taking the stairs up to the sleeping area and soaking tub. The main bathroom and the soaking tub are kept in separate rooms because the toilet room is considered, “unsanitary� while the soaking tub is not. The kitchen is laid out in a L – Kitchen design which allows the chef preparing food to be a part of the conversations and not be disrespectful by having their back turned to guests sitting on the chabudai. Genkan: Traditional Japanese entry area. While technically inside the house, it is not considered an entrance into the home. Most food deliveries take place in this area. Chabudai: Short-legged table use in traditional Japanese homes.

Constructed with walnut beams and accents on the exterior with an off-white stucco siding, the neutral colors continue inside. On the ground floor, bamboo wood flooring is laid out to brighten the room and the second story is comprised entirely of tatami mats. Tatami mats help with air quality and emit a fragrant scent when it rains. Another notable feature of the second story is the built-in shelving unit and lack of bed. In 2013, it was recorded that 50% of the population slept in futons atop tatami mats.

02 Entropy Bowling Green State University Year: 2018 Location: Bowling Green, Ohio Program: Create an abstract design based on a single word.

Entropy: 1. A thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system’s thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. 2. Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.

At the start of this project the professor assigns everyone a word. This word is to be used as the parti for every assigment and should flow between multiple forms of mediums and a model with no limitations.

02. Entropy

At the start, the path taken was around mental health. The thought of organization breaking down into chaos reminded me of Alzheimer’s, something very prevalent to my family. I started researching the decline of the mind and observing MRI brain scans. To me, these images resembled a puzzle and at any point, they could just fall away just like the mind. For the initial drawing, I created a puzzle falling apart that represented and symbolized a brain as age takes over and a sense of oneself is lost. The next avenue I researched was the physics definition. After discovering the work of Jeremy England and his thesis in 2008, “Theory and simulation of explicit solvent effects on protein folding in vitro and in vivo”, I found inspiration and started experimenting with models. This distinguished MIT professor used statistical physics arguments to explain the spontaneous emergence of life. In layman’s terms, entropy caused the big bang and started life. For the final model, I decided to create a model going from organized to chaotic representing the big bang and the entropic characteristics it holds.

The final model was created around a burnt black cube with layers of plexiglass and then hand drafted on mylar with pencil. Each of the four stages got more and deformed by using a blow torch and forming the melting plexiglass over the central datum.

03 30 x 30 Bowling Green State University Year: 2019 Location: South East Ohio Program: Small design studio for a client with lake view.

This studio commission was required to have a south-east view with a northern entrance. It was also required to be, “in the manner” of an architect the class learned about during a case study assignment. This design was derived from studying Louis Kahn’s Norman Fisher house.

Separation of the living quarters and working studio space was inspired directly by the Norman Fisher house. The purpose is to promote work efficiency while not sacrificing any of the comfort. The bottom floor and kitchen are dimly lit on purpose like the original design for the Norman Fisher house to minimize the time away from work. The fireplace provides a sense of home while supplying necessary heat in the winter months. When traveling upstairs the built-in library shelves are impossible to miss and help with storage. The two giant panes of glass that come to a point both can glide along to floor allowing fresh air to enter and the client to be apart of nature.

04 Crescendo Bowling Green State University Year: 2018 Location: Bowling Green, Ohio Program: Show the transformation process between a point, line, plane, and volume.

Crescendo: 1. The loudest point reached in a gradually increasing sound. 2. The highest point reached in a progressive increase of intensity.

Designing a model that is held within a 4� cube to learn how a point turns into a line, how a line turns into a plane, and how a plane turns into a volume with hand drafted and hand cut models. The parti of this model was the transition of music from classical to modern.

This project started by experimenting with different shapes and models around a 4� cube in Ÿ� segments. After deciding to do something music based, it was time to experiment with different models. The first model was representing a snare drum. This was still too literal of a representation and so the music score itself would be the point of focus allowing a wider variety of music styles. After deciding to use the line on a sheet of music as datums separating the abstracted notes, I added the music notes into the model.

The final model tells the story of classical music transitioning into the modern age. The score starts at the base and spirals upwards with the music notes getting more distorted as it goes where music stereotypes have broken down. The strict classical music is not the only “proper� music anymore and the staff transforms into an equalizer scale completing the evolution. However, the classical music notes stretch up throughout the whole model. Their presence in music has never been lost and even today their influence can be seen. While the music scene has morphed, their roots will never be forgotten because some things transcend time.

05 Peter Duke GreenScapes Landscape Architecture Year: 2019 Location: Columbus, Ohio Program: Proposed landscape architecture plan for a business.

Complete freedom in designing a proposal for a business in Columbus. This included site visits, CAD work, measurements, and concrete calculations for the sidewalk and steps.

05. Peter Duke

This outdated home houses a chiropractor’s office and was in desperate need for modernization and to meet code requirements. The concrete was cracking horrifically and posed a safety risk for customers. With a step-up and landing weathered away and rotting railroad ties, drawings needed to be created to calculate the amount for the subcontractor.

35


05. Peter Duke

The new proposed design included a new retaining wall and the number of stones needed had to be calculated for the estimate. During this remodel of the front, their large planter box needed to be removed because of its code violation on the sidewalk. The alteration for this would be to incorporate the existing yard and help control customers into using their new entrance. The new step up from the sidewalk includes a bench for seating making their business look inviting and friendly.

06 Wood Working Olentangy High School Year: 2012 - 2015 Location: Lewis Center, Ohio Program: Art show entries from beginner woodshop through second year advanced.

Collection of works ranging throughout my high school wood shop career including some that were commissioned by clients. My specialty was, and will always be, a wooden lathe. I was often asked to help other students in the multitude of classes offered from my experience and continued efforts to push the boundary of what the teachers were able to help with and experimented on my own.
