Japanese Monastery

The Monastery is located on the site of Japan’s famous Rikugien Gardens. The monastery is composed of three bands that are connected through a pathway that serves the inhabitants of the monastery. The three bands were derived from a series of chants consisting of a repition of three notes. Located within the monastery are dorms, cafeteria, showers, places for mediation, areas for exercise, and an auditorium.

I wanted the materiality of the monastery to be a simple palette of wood, steel, and precast concrete.

Situated within the grounds of Rikugien Gardens, I elevated parts of the building to enable the continuation of the garden on the ground level and an integration of the built environment and nature.

Manatee Art Center

The Manatee Art Center was a design proposal for an addition to the existing center located in Bradenton, Florida.

The main focus of this project was to incorporate natural light to showcase the artwork as well as making a strong connection from the existing to the new.

The procession to the Manatee Art Center happens as you walk through the exterior courtyard which allows for the opportunity to enter into the side of the building. I designed a dumbell floorplan with outdoor gathering areas to make a secondary link from the existing to the new. A linear pathway as an interior connection can be transformed by movable walls and can allot studio or large gallery space. The open floorplan allows for people walking along the hallway to see students of the art center working on one side and a carved wall that doubles as a display. The carved wall and ceilings allow for natural light to illuminate the interior spaces.

The Faith House is located in a transition neighborhood in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Faith House serves people recovering from domestic violence, alcoholism, drug addiction, and includes a new addition of Veterans in need. We wanted to create an enclosed campus which connected with the community and redevelop the neighboring park to attract more visitors.

A watchful eye on the streets is known to be the best crime deterant. In order to activate the area and provide it with a unique feature we decided to elevate large crosswalks to create public squares as part of the streets and allow for the park to flow across. The Veteran’s Center is detached from the main campus but connected through a crosswalk similar to the ones created in the park.

Generative Devices

LEED Green Associate

The project of generative devices is derived from a set of cuff links. I had created a series of three drawings to begin to transform the object into a morphed version that looks entirely different than its origin. Those three drawings became the generator to a fourth and final drawing. The final drawing became a generator for a model portraying a destination within a space.

From the model I began to create collages to begin the study of scale and how a drawing could begin to act as a field in which moments could begin to nest themselves into the context. After my study of collages, I began to make the drawing a three dimensional object and study the interaction of these moments. I began to focus on how the space between these moments can make a connection with each other and how movement can become incorporated..
