A c a d emi c Wo r k River Beat New Arbor Court Rooted O.U.R. Houma

R i ve r B e a t Graduate Studio / Study Abroad River Beat is the result of a ten-week, collaborative student effort to design the master plan of Zhengzhou’s proposed Waterfront Leisure and Cultural District. After traveling to Beijing and Zhengzhou and participating in a multidisciplinary workshop, the studio focused on designing a dynamic, walkable environment while working within a pre-existing street plan for the city.

The scope of the project included master planning and architectural development for a variety of programs including a train station, hotel, commercial/office space, and an environmental education center.

New Arbor Court Graduate Systems Studio New Arbor Court represents a sustainable solution to dense, beautiful, and exciting housing for the city of Ann Arbor. A holistic design approach encompassing important environmental issues such as building materials and construction, stormwater management, and the creation of welcoming public spaces ensures that the mixed-use complex contributes to a culture of ecological stewardship in Ann Arbor. This project leverages regionally-sourced heavy timbers as an emerging construction technique, and the design of block and building forms reflect the material’s most efficient structural assemblages. Warm, inviting spaces and diverse unit types ensure an exiting mix of people and activities.

Ro o te d ULI / Hines Competition Entry Rooted responds to the needs of the Claiborne neighborhood in New Orleans by drawing from the strength and performance of the mangrove trees that grace the coast of the Mississippi Delta. Using the metaphor of the continuous root network the trees to connect and empower community members, this project prioritizes pedestrian interaction and urban infill. Like the mangrove trees, the project also drastically increases the water storage capacity of the surrounding area, increasing resiliency in the case of heavy storms and flooding.

O.U. R . H o u m a HUD Student Design Competition Entry O.U.R. Houma draws it name from the existing mantra of the Houma-Terrebone Housing Authority, which is “A Commitment to Service, A Passion for People.” This competition entry employs a modest yet sophisticated design strategy for senior housing. By choosing to respond to the scale of the singlefamily dwelling neighborhood, O.U.R. Houma allows for lowincome seniors to be more integrated into the neighborhood.

This engagement is further emphasized with the integration and re-design of an existing park, which allows for more programmatic and financial flexibility. As a LEED Silver project with lightweight construction, this residential complex is a feasible yet exciting proposal for local seniors.

Parsons Indianapolis Detail Drawings | HOK Dallas Worked directly with project manager to renovate and expand tenant’s office space in downtown Indianapolis. With minimal guidance, worked to deliver permit/pricing sets to the client and city inspectors. Personally designed several project details, especially millwork pieces, and assembled weekly drawing sets.

This project was largely self-driven, and was an excellent opportunity to learn how to draw interior architectural details and assemble a complete project.

A rc hi te c ture A b r o a d International Workshop for Waterfront Leisure and Cultural District Zhengzhou / Beijing, China Ghana Design / Build Studio Abrafo-Odumase, Ghana, West Africa

China Global Design Studio Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China As a part of a graduate design studio, several students from the University of Michigan M. Arch program traveled to Beijing, China as part of participation in the International Design Workshop for Waterfront Leisure and Cultural District.

In Beijing, U of M students paired with students from the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture and urban planning professionals from SPD Planning Design Corporation.

The multidisciplinary teams then traveled to Zhengzhou, China to participate in a design competition to explore unique proposals for the city’s new development.

The proposals were presented to the client, CSCEC, as well as local and regional city officials.

Ghana Design / Build Abrafo-Odumase, Ghana, West Africa For six weeks in the summer of 2012, a group of student’s from the Department of Architecture and Interior Design at Miami University traveled to Ghana to participate in the design and building of a teacher’s cottage in a village in the rainforest. Working directly with villagers, local materials, and traditional building techniques, the group learned about the power of people and place-making in architecture.

As part of the design/build program, students traveled around the country, learning about West Africa’s unique, rich culture and architectural vernacular. A deeper connection with the people and land enabled a more sensitive and inspired design solution.
