Culinary Infusion A contemporary building addition to the Mount Vernon area, the building is an incubator that houses a culinary institution alongside a modern culinary cafeteria and student housing. The space allows for a combination of more experimental and traditional cooking techniques to be taught and exhibited to both students and the general public. The incorporation of student housing allows for students and faculty to interact and influence each other through culture to create new products and techniques that can be explored not only in classroom but in everyday and leisure settings.

while still allowing the flexibility for the residents to the traditional ‘splitting the rent’ on the entire unit.
The design uses the concept of modular living in shared interchangeable common spaces utilizing micro-live-work spaces to create affordable and flexible housing typologies for a targeted demographic of young professionals. Within this design solution users are facilitated with multiple public and semi-private common spaces to allow for multiple levels of interaction between residents and community engagement. game room

the design incorporates the concept of the river that is on the site. the design of visitor center continues the narrative of the relationship between the built environment and the natural environment and how nature superimposes itself. the concept plays on the idea of a river-like motion that dictates the movement of the people within the structure and throughout the site as they experience the journey to the Farnsworth house.

“

the design concept is a representation of the nature’s defiance as the river re-asserts its dominance over the land, as it continuously floods the structure creating a narrative of battle.

seeds of learning Located in the north corridor of sandtown Winchester, Baltimore the design intervention takes advantage of the of the high traffic routes that run parallel with the site. The intervention is the introduction of a multi institution satellite campus for higher education integrated with multiple housing typologies to increase the density and activity in the site. The intervention’s creation of a higher education district creates a relationship with the students, residents and other users of the district, increasing the quality of education in the area. The district has three major components: the seeds | the campus would have a symbiotic relationship with each other intergrated with the surrounding community. the roots | a gateway for pedestrians by creating a public quad that acts as the beginning of a pedestrian walkway that links the intervention into the urban context. the nutrients | As students, educators and daily visitors begin to populate the area, creating need for a variety of housing typologies.
