MATERIAL FORM AN EXPLORATION OF FINDING FORM USING PAPER Spring 2016 / Research / Typology: Folly
This project is a research based exploration of paper through both physical models and the digital analysis of the forms created. The first step in the process is discovering what the material wants to do and how it can be manipulated while still keeping the integrity of the material properties. Secondly is applying a set of rules and variables that allow the material to take form without premeditation. Once there was some control over the forms created it became an exploration of how to combine them as seamelessly - an exercise in pattern making. Finally the form was to lend itself to an occupiable folly placed on the roof garden of Knowlton.

TETRAHEDRON INSPIRED BY ARTIST TONY SMITH AND HIS PROCESS USING TETRAHEDRONS TO EXPLORE SPACE Autumn 2014 / Typology: House- Landscape - Museum
Beginning with a selected sculpture by Tony Smith (Amaryllis) there was an analysis of the artists working method specifically his use of tetrahedrons to create the final forms. Using the tetrahedrons the first was to create a living space that explored basic human needs a place to sit, sleep, climb and hall, the resultant spaces are fully determined by the tetrahedron. The “envelope” created was then cut into a longitudinal section which was used to create the house and landscape for Tony Smith’s family. The final piece of the project was a museum to house Smith’s work placed within the landscape.

THE CLIMB TRANSFORMING A COUNCIL HOUSING TOWER Autumn 2009 / Typology: House and Rock climbing centre
The site in Brighton is occupied by 3 council housing towers, the project brief entailed selecting one tower to use. The tower could be used wholly or a small section could be occupied to create a dwelling for a client of one’s choosing as well as an additional program. The client is a millionaire attempting to re establish the area as well as cater to the people who live in the surrounding by creating a rock climbing centre. The dwelling is situated at the top of the tower to enable for sea views.

ART CENTRE Art centre and galleries at Kenyon College Spring 2015 / Typology: Art centre and Gallery
The brief was to create a new art centre and gallery for Kenyon College. The site is lush and full of trees and extremely tranquil. The site was located along the main avenue through the college, whose buildings followed a strict guidline of distance from it as well as aesthetic. This project was attempting to maintain the site using a canopy and series of boxes to create different spaces while blurring the lines between interior and exterior.

objective of the project. Keeping the trees intact while emphasizing the “forest” through columns that suppoted the adaptive roof system. The project was also taking the occupant on a journey through each space eventually leading to the black box at the heighest point.

INVASION Housing for the confluence site in Columbus,OH Autumn 2016 / Typology: Housing/ Team - Alvarez - Monnin
The site is bounded by two merging rivers and two highways. This was an opportunity to create a project that tackles each of these environments differently essentially “invading” each with one of the bars that made up the housing and program. The housing was meant to be for a mixture of demographics with the intention of trying to create a vibrant hub that wouldn’t soley be for people homes but also the public could enjoy various amenities offered on the site.The main obejective being to blur the lines between the natural and built environment.

CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW 4 BARS Each “bar” of housing and amenities was meant to respond uniquely to the part of the site it was situated. By designing islands the bars were not limited to the lad but could also traverse the water. These islands act not only as anchor points but are also meant to be habitable and accessible to both the residents and the public. As
CONCEPT the building moves out, nature also begins to infiltrate the architecture.
