ABOUT ME
I am a graduate in the ďŹ ve year NAAB accredited Kansas State University Masters of Architecture program. Architecture is the interlocking elements of form and function; both elements should compliment one another. The concept of interlocking elements of form and function has driven my design. I became interested in architecture after experiences with residential designs and many family renovations. I found pure joy in the designing aspect and it was greatly emphasized in many of my art projects in high school. That was when I knew that this was what I wanted to do.

A GATEHOUSE FOR A GREATHOUSE
7
THIRD YEAR SPRING 2018 STUDIO | PROFESSOR MICHAEL MCGLYNN LOCATION: West Hollywood, California The studio objective was to analyze several domestic architectures to understand the architects’ response to context and culture as well as their use of technology. Afterwards, I designed a gatehouse for one of the precedent studies, the Kings Road House. My approach was to design in a way that is uniďŹ ed and harmonious. The gate house provides accommodation for the groundskeeper as well as a vistor center for gathering and information.

FOURTH YEAR SUMMER 2018 STUDIO | PROFESSOR GENEVIEVE BAUDOIN
Location: Wichita, Kansas Located in Old Town district of Wichita, Kansas is a tight and urban site that is intended to be an outreach to the Wichita Contemporary Dance Theater. The objective was to provide a house for the dancers and staff that becomes one’s sacred space. There was two major design proposal for this project: facade and roof design details. Roof detailing was dedicated for the main studio space, whereas the facade detailing was focused on implementing stone onto the south facade.

APDESIGN ITALIAN STUDIES PROGRAM

FOURTH YEAR FALL STUDIO 2018 | PROFESSOR TORGEIR NORHEIM
Location: Orvieto, Italy Located in a small historic town, my classmates and I studied the essence of architecture. We stayed in a small hill town called Orvieto that is located in the Umbria region of italy. This program was an opportunity for me to study planning and design in a european environment. Outside of architecture, we learned the importance of art and coffee in the italian culture. Orvieto is known to be a slow city. This emphasizing self-reliance and being able to shop and prepare meals all within the Italian language. We also get the privilege to have ofďŹ cial ďŹ eld trips to study other major cities within Italy.
30
Watercoloring is one of the opportunities incorporated into our courses during our time in Italy. The emphasis is on all the historical churches throughout the city of Orvieto. Class would be in the mornings to catch the sun casting shadows onto the building. These examples shown to the right were sketched out lightly and then watercolored to show where the sun hits the building along with the shadows.

GRAPHIC DESIGNS FROM BOOK As part of our graduate course, dissecting and analyzing of the city of Orvieto was part of our intensive writing course. As a studio class, we produced a book together to hold all our information gathered for the city. These graphics were a collaborative effort for the psychology section of the book.

ACADEMIC INTERNSHIP
37
Merriman Anderson Architects Inc. | January-August 2019 Location: Dallas, Texas I participated in an academic internship during my fourth year. Most of my time during this internship was dedicated to the firm’s mission: historic preservation of downtown Dallas. The firm specializes in sustainable historic preservation and new construction for mixed use, commercial, and residential projects. I spent most of my internship working on the residential aspects of this mixeduse building from schematic design to construction documentation. The firm gave me the opportunity to design residential apartments from the layout of each unit to the finer details of millwork sections and finishes. I am very grateful to be part of the whole process of this restoration project.

ELECTIVE COURSEWORK FIFTH YEAR FALL 2019 | PROFESSOR GRANT ALFORD Drawing Architectural Theory (image to the left) Digital print; procreate software on apple ipad pro 24in x 36in (7200px x 10800px) Using the procreate software, I was able to produce isometric drawings. Most of the digital tools that I have been using on the application were ink bleed (for the linework) and carbon stick (for the renderings). I drew inspiration from the common objects and materials that I witness daily and then abstract these objects into different scales of architectural assemblies. These assemblies could vary from an urban skyscraper to the finer details of building connections. Drawing in isometric was my way of observing the formal aspect of it. It challenged my creativity on how to reinvent objects. This exercise just has showed me to continue the creative mindset, but also figure out how to apply it to something useful for the world.
SECOND YEAR FALL 2017 | PROFESSOR MATTHEW KNOX Digital Architecture (image to the right) Digital Architecture was a series of courses dedicated to introduce us to design softwares. The programs that I used in the class were 3DS Max, Revit, and V-Ray. The end goal was to be able to produce high quality renderings for our projects. The Barcelona Pavilion was the first approach to the rendering software where photoshop became an important aspect for making the image believable. The beach house rendering, on the bottom, was independently created in 3DS Max as another photorealistic rendering.

43
FIFTH YEAR SPRING 2020 STUDIO | PROFESSOR R TODD GABBARD
Location: Manhattan, Kansas The project was a research design propopsal for Kansas State University’s English Department. The initial problem for the department was not having an official facility that catered to their needs. The approach to this specific project was to utilize the existing parts of the building located on the site and create a sustainable addition from it.
44
SITE ANALYSIS:
LEASURE HALL The current site is called the English Department and Counseling Services at Kansas State University. Leasure Hall, as the site location is called, is located just north of the site. The site is situated around Regnier Hall, Hale Library, Leasure Hall, and the Power Plant.
Social
Intimate
The existing building on the site was originally Kansas State University’s Lafene Health Center.
Service
Lafene Health Center was relocated and the majority of the English Department took over the building. Its department and courses are spread out throughout the campus. Some are housed in Eisenhower, that is just south-east of the site location.
Organizational Gradient
45
46
AXIS NORTH TO SOUTH | aligning from Regnier to Leasure Hall, the building will act as a threshold (circulation bar). There will be an opportunity for an intimate, sunken courtyard.
1
PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT | greater traffic flow occurs east of the site. Each intersect takes place on all four corners of the site. These intersects will be linkages from the site to the rest of campus.
2
EXISTING CONDITIONS | alignment of the current building’s footprint to the surrounding contextual buildings creates a sense of unity.

What I am trying to achieve is providing one main source of horizontal movement throughout the building and pushing all the program to the perimeter for daylight. The writing center becomes this protruding element on the exterior of the building; which is a statment to the public. Essentially, it becomes a showcase to the rest of campus and draws people in to utilize their resources more often than how it is currently.
LEVEL TWO
017A
With the amount of existing projects going on throughout campus, I thought to continue this notion of restoring for the common interest. Our campus is in the midst of updating to meet the needs of modern teaching methods. Although the existing building on the site was not designed with the English Department in mind, the aged exterior facade style plays a major role in preserving its history and linkage to the context. The design was built as a health center for the campus. With long double loaded corridors, this design was a hub for physically helping others. Taking that concept of “helping others� and applying it to the English Department seemed to make sense. Since english is the foundation to our college education, why take away the foundation of the existing structure of the building, when its intention is to help others. Along with its history, my approach to the project is to achieve a sustainable design. Through sustainability, it is highly feasible to recreate loadbearing limestone walls. It is rarely ever a building technique. Essentially, sustainable design is a critical process to ensure no waste or overuse in materials than necessary.

Every room is divided by the main circulation path. Classrooms are strategically placed on the opposite side to the offices to allow a distinct seperation of personal connections between the student and the instructor. The informal spaces are the buffer zones that overlap into the circulation zone. The placement of these informal areas were to provide an equal distance for students to walk to and wait for class to start. Natural light was a key element for the offices. Offices are part of the existing building; whereas the majority of the program will fill the new addition. Each classroom space will take advantage of the exterior wall for daylight and views out into the courtyard space. The relationship between public to private is higly emphasized in section. As you circulate up into the building, the level of privacy is much higher; where more offices are housed.

DESIGN:
STRUCTURE What are the materials and what is the relationship between those materials? The materials for the construction of the building consist of limestone, metal, concrete and glass. The use of limestone is to relate back to the context of the site. The intented use of limestone for the building is to be a reection of the existing limestone of the building. Unlike the loadbearing construction of the existing, the method for the new limestone would be a modular panel system of thin brushed limestone. With the existing limestone being exposed all the way up to the second level, the new part of the building will reect that; starting from the basement up to the second level. Glass is used as a curtain wall system along with intergral metal panel systems.

Existing Piece Loadbearing walls and concrete columns generally make up the existing building. For the additional floors above the existing, concrete columns are carried up to continue the pattern of how the system was working down below.
