CUBIST MODEL TRANSLATION
WAR AND PEACE memorial and museum design in the historic city of Genoa, Italy. Our view of peace is that it is a continuous circle, FRACTURED by moments of confict or WAR. The fractures are the focus and remain vividly in our memories. The evidence of war is still present but no longer tangible, peace can develop again but the scars will always remain.
The model was created from the cubist sketch based off of an ambiguation of our site analyses. The darker colored portions of the drawing were interpreted as depressions in the 3D model, lines translated to cuts, and lighter areas became the highest relief. The resulting digital model was cut out of paper in layers and is pictured to the right.
PHYSICAL CUBIST MODEL
the site is close the port coast of Genoa, along a small cliff. Half of the site remains at the street level and has a view to the ocean, and the other half is on a steep slope and has no view to the port. What made most sense on the site is to maintain the view to the port on the upper half of the site, but keep the view focused with a small window in the wall to view the water, having this half become the memorial. The other half of the site became the location of the museum, with a direct yet meaningfully mindful connection to the memorial, and bringing the city connection to the road below.

“We wanted not only to envision anew the process of design and construction, embedding within it an environmental ethic, but also to create a house that evokes the extraordinary natural world that is its home.”

Redesigning the roof of the Loblolly House by Kieran Timberlake. Keeping with the loblolly theme of nature and loblolly pines, we used Japanese joinery and the image of opening pine needles to create our operational roof.

CAST-IN-PLACE / PRECAST TRANSFORMATION
TADAO ANDO creates powerful and simplistic architecture out of simple cast in place concrete. So to get a better understanding of precast concrete, I transformed Tadao Ando’s church of the light into a precast structure, aiming to construct it effciently, while keeping the original intent consistent. In order to complete the task, studies of both the original design’s method of cast-in-place concrete as well as precast construction had to be considered.

Building models at several scales throughout the process of the exercise really forced me to think with more details at respective scales. The large model was quite special because it could be assembled and reassembled in the same way the precast would have been.

PRECAST / NON-EUCLIDEAN TRANSFORMATION
Transforming Tadao Ando’s church of light while incorporating a non euclidean aspect was a challenge. I wanted change the space by altering the light and the walls, while still keeping the simplicity that Ando intended in the original design. My transformation is limited to the vertical walls, pushing and pulling in opposite directions to still keep a peaceful environment but show opposing forces in the world. The wall splits open near the back of the church, to welcome people inside. The walls gradually come together toward the front of the church, meeting with the light formed by the original cross cut into the concrete, lining up exactly the same.
PRE-CAST ASSEMBLY PRE-CAST MOLDS
This project was a refreshing way to learn how to incorporate other people’s ideas and concepts into my own. It was great to explore design through a building that already exists, so it felt like i had some boundaries, yet I had enough freedom in my design. I used models again in this process to form the light and shadow in the building.

PRECAST CONCRETE HIGH RISE HIGH LINE TOWER
The task was to create a TESSELLATION which then would be the basis for the design of a precast concrete high rise tower over the high line in New York City. This project pushed my limits on how I could create a functional and interesting precast structure. It was an enormous challenge to think both aesthetically and technically at a more in-depth level than I previously have.

While at Dwell, I was invited to design and draw the elevations for a multifamily and retail mixed-use development in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. I aimed to create a connection between the residents and the urban center the project would generate. I drew inspiriation from the industrial past of the area, while maintining the strong front axis in the center and providing the necessary privacy the residents desire.
Another example project from Dwell, in Charleston, South Carolina, I created multiple renders, perspectives, plans, and elevations for many design and architecture review approvals and presentations, and for our marketing imagery. I also led summer architecture interns through this process for the Design Review Board for this project in Charleston.
While at Bradley Heppner Architecture, I created a handmade model of one of his residences being designed. It was so thrilling to see the design on paper and have it brought to a reality I could hold in my hands. However, the best part about creating this model was revealed to me in an email from Brad after completing my internship: “I loaned the model you built to the clients, and your work has inspired another generation. Their daughter was having diffculty fguring out what to do for her career project at school. When she came down for breakfast and saw the model she was fascinated enough by it that she decided to focus her project on architecture.”
As the Marketing Coordinator at Dwell, I was presented with the opportunity to use my passion for graphic design and communication to create all project brochures for the company, as well as some advertisements, and all awards submissions. It was great to discover how much I enjoy it and hope to continue,
Of course, along with these highly creative parts of architecture, I created many drawings in AutoCAD and in Revit for construction.
