a dedication to research accuracy and schematic planning, design can change
the technical mind. The two make
the way we view the world. These conceptual visions are affirmed through
a great team when it comes to
technical skills used to convey a design. It is an upmost importance to use
creating a space affecting the
collaboration in a professional way that will result in a well rounded design for
human experience. My professional involvement in the design world has

myself as a designer. Every project has been inspired by a moment of growth to become the designer I am today. However, I am a firm believer in aspiring to achieve greatness. To do this, the education never stops. Within this fast growing and ever changing design world, it is vital to continually improve upon ourselves as practicing professionals.

About TEAM effort TEAM effort is a non-profit mission organization that has created a youth community service outreach program. Youth groups from churches all over the United States can sign up for a week in the summer to travel to one of the twenty-three camp locations.

bend in the bow CALGARY, CANADA
Concept Calgary is the largest city in the Alberta Region. Its growing metropolis that has seen tremendous growth after the decline of their oil industry. It is now a growing center for international business and manufacturing. Due to the international draw to the area, there are many different cultures, Asian descent being the dominant percentage of the population. It was important for the design to adhere to a universal design that would not offend nor rebuke any nation. The skyscraper chosen for the location is the new Bow Building constructed on the Bow river in 2012. The design by Foster and Partners out of London, England is a bowed form that gives spaces maximum daylighting. The Calgary City Club is located on the 54th floor that looks down on one of the three indoor gardens in the building. The design is inspired by the Bow River with its beautiful aqua and rust hues and various textures.

water conservation center MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Research Summary Mexico City, land once located at the bottom of Lake Texaco, has always been a location in Mexico with a plentiful water supply. However, this overpopulated city with over twenty-two million residents is currently experiencing the long-term effects of the government’s mismanagement of water regulations and distribution. Statistically, 60% of the water and sewage systems are supplied by an aquifer that is running dry, causing the city to sink 10-20 inches per year. This has caused countless damages to the water and sewage infrastructure, costing the city thousands of liters per second. Even with water trucks distributing water, the city is simply running out of its vital resource: water. Water conservation and sustainability is necessary for this city. Leaks need to be repaired, proper water conservation faucets need to be installed, and awareness must be promoted. Low flow plumbing, rainwater harvesting, and recycling water in buildings will save water. The city is situated on weak clay soil, and due to earthquakes and subsidence, there has been large amounts of structural damage to buildings all throughout the city. Concretes with high resistance qualities and prefabricated structures would meet codes required by the MCBC (Mexico City Building Code). The city has already sunk around forty feet in the last half-century. Engineers should be consulted for repairs and installs to slow the sinking process. 17
Concept The Water Concervation Center networks with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), to work with local professionals including water specialists and engineers. The spaces requirements include a meet and greet area, public meeting hall, collaborative workspace, conference room, and staff offices. Inspiration was drawn from the colorful Mexican heritage and readily available resources.
MATERIALS
Team Member Role I worked in depth on the research for both the location and the design issue. The floor plan shell was given but my role was to space plan the required spaces. The sketches for the space planning can be seen below. The Revit model was worked on by both team members, applying finishes and rendering. The images are enhanced in Adobe Photoshop.

volcano refuge housing COLO JAVA, INDONESIA
Concept The basis of this project was to collaboratively on joining two containers together to create a refuge multi-family home. This temporary housing unit is located in Colo Java, Indonesia a safe distance away from the “ring of fire� volcanos. The design is self sustaining for those who may be removed from their homes on the mountain. The majority of the communities in Indonesia are based on farming for a living. This unit built up on terraces for users to be able to continue growing food and make a living while being removed from their homes. The design functions for multiple generations with small nooks of their own. The inspiration for the design is based on the surrounding local materials and nature. The glass and exterior materials are sturdy specified materials to withstand nearby volcanic activity. The overall design aesthetic is natural colors with hints of muted understated colors. Colors used are subtle with very little extravagance but still comfortable and inviting for those who may be going through trauma. 21

falls park sculpture GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA
Concept Inspiration for this sculpture came from the exposed roots of a tree on the Reedy River in Falls Park. It would be constructed on the lawn of the peace center at the heart of downtown. The coating is made with a poly-resin in a metallic finish. The circular aerated concrete plates are held together on a steel column. The small pockets in the structure are filled with soil where a self sustained moss is grown. At the top are metallic plates to imitate the foliage and reflect off the many colors of the downtown area.
