Summer Internship working with Cuningham a multi-disciplinary Architecture firm located in Phoenix, Arizona. During my internship, I had the opportunity to join Cuningham’s Heal Studio who specialize in health care work. Over the course of three months worked on three different projects, all of which were hospitals. I primarily worked on the project document here, the Banner Desert Medical Center which consisted on renovations to existing building, demolition,

and the expansion of a new women’s tower. I was luckily to work along side Owners, Architects, Engineers and Contractors on a day-to-day basis. Assisting in in-wall/ overhead/ and punch walks. Working in Revit and AutoCAD assisted in preparing drawings, modeling, fixing red-lines, reviewing RFI’s and Submittals, etc... I was able to learn new softwares, log AXP hours, and learn about what the day in the life of an Architect is like in the real world of Architecture.

HUNTRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Transforming the historic site of the old Huntridge Theater located in Las Vegas, Nevada into a public library. The goal was to create a focal point for the Las Vegas community. One that revolves around inviting accessible education/ learning centers in the form of Mixed-use development, public green spaces, recreational spaces and gathering areas that promote a strong community with lifelong learning. Giving the public a unique experience by inviting the

users to explore the building and make use all of it’s resources. Three spiral ramps lead the user through a series of unique spaces. At the center of each ramp is a circular courtyard - each with it’s own program: a rock climbing wall which runs vertically through each floor, a children’s playground, and a desert garden to introduce biophilia in the reading spaces. The hope was to influence not just knowledge and education but also promote good health and encourage participation in recreational activities.

US EMBASSY TO HOTEL - ADAPTIVE REUSE

ADE 521: Advanced Architectural Studio I Professor Phil Horton Project in Collaboration with: Tanner Baranski and Parth Khatri

After analyzing the surrounding context around the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka, our team discovered that the area had become highly compact and urbanized since the construction of the building in 1985. Small businesses, office buildings, and small hotels populate most of the surrounding context. We used the buildings’ adjacency to the ocean and train railway station to our advantage and concluded that a bigger hotel would be beneficial to the area. The lack of green spaces in the city drove the concept of

our design. The goal was to create an urban park with various gathering spaces to welcome not just tourists but also the local people of the area. The ground floor of the hotel consists of public restaurants to activate the site. The proximity to railway station inspired us to create an elevated pathway that would lead guest straight through the site and to the station. We hoped to influence the local community to create more public parks throughout the city and to make this hotel and urban park part of their community.

DESIGN+BUILD SOLAR DECATHLON COMPETITION

AAE 480 Arch Design III Professor Eric Weber

Mojave Bloom, A sustainable salute by UNLV Students. The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon is a collegiate competition, that challenges student teams to design and build highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy. Mojave Bloom creates an oasis from the bustling downtown of Las Vegas and the Mojave Desert’s harsh environment. Designed to be a place of healing for veterans suffering the effects of wartime trauma, the home connects the resident to their environment through a carefully orchestrated procession of sensory experiences. In this design+build studio, I was a part of the construction team picking up where previous UNLV student’s left off with their completed design and construction kick off. With weekly visits to the construction site, each week we learned different components of what it takes to make a building come to life. Contacting software companies, suppliers, and installers were just a couple of learning experiences that my team and I

learned. Over sixteen weeks our construction process included: building a deck, installing louvers and doors in the mechanical room, installing steel window boxes, placing window flashings, preparing the sub-floor for the installation of a linoleum floor, painting, filing down welds in preparation for glazing installation, creating, assembling, and installing a ceiling panel support system, assembling cabinets, etc. Alongside our tasks, we witnessed the work of professionals who helped with installations such as dry-wall, glazing, siding, and so forth. I had the privilege of leading in the Life Cycle Assessment, in collaboration with our team we collected information on every material that makes up the building in hopes of seeing the minimal environmental impact of our construction and the building’s life cycle analysis. This project increased my knowledge of the ecological impact which buildings have on the environment. Which further reassured my goals as an Architect, designing architecture that is environmentally responsible and receptive.

CITY OF HENDERSON, NV CITY HALL EXPANSION

AAE 382 Arch Design II Professor Jorge Hernandez

This project consisted of designing both a new building expansion to city hall and a new veterans memorial located in the City of Henderson, Nevada. The addition to the city hall building represents what people sacrificed their lives for. It is a symbol of life and freedom. It seems dark and mysterious, but also inviting, as the glazed building allows you to see inside of it. As you enter the building you are overcome by light. The light comes in between the large vertical masses that act like large

louvers and bring some light into the building. As you ascend the spiral staircase you arrive at the roof garden where you are greeted with views of the mountains and lights of the city. At night the building itself becomes the shining light. The light is ultimately a window that serves to create a communion between the physical and spiritual world. The light creates transcendence; an existence, and experience beyond the normal and physical level.

CITY OF HENDERSON, NV

WWII VETERANS MEMORIAL

PROJECT: Designing a World War II Veterans Memorial for the Henderson City Hall. The World War II memorial honors the 16 million who served in the armed forces of the United States, and the more than 400,000 who died. It stands as an important symbol of national unity required during the conflict that is war. The goal is to create a timeless reminder of the lives lost and the lives saved. This experience is brought to life by creating a communion between different worlds, the past and the present. Although those who have passed are no longer living in the present world, we can create an environment

in which we can feel their presence spiritually. As you walk through the memorial, you can see a contrast between lightness and darkness, this eventful experience of contrast is creating a balance between the darkness that comes with death to remind us of the lives that were sacrificed for our freedom. Freedom signifies both life and life after death which is representative of the light. The light plays a major role throughout the site. As you get to the center of the memorial the light overcomes the darkness, it is a perpetual light which means it’s truly never ending.

GGSN DINING HALL

PROJECT: A multi-purpose dining hall and educational building proposal for the new Girl Scouts Camp located in rural Alamo, Nevada. Focused on sustainable strategies and their implementation in a rural desert climate. Inspiration was derived from Parahnaget Valley, located adjacent to the site. Parahnaget Valley is home to a wildlife refuge, it is an oasis in the middle of the desert and it is home to many species of flora and fauna. Concept: The life that Parahnaget Valley creates is due to its

source of water: many plants and animals make it their home. Taking these resources that are the heart of the valley and bringing them to the Girl Scout site in Alamo, Nevada resulted in making this dining hall the heart of the camp. The dining hall is designed with living green walls and a roof garden, with a variety of different ways to access the building, influencing a variety of biophilic experiences for the GSSN, the dining hall ultimately serves as a threshold to the rest of the Girl Scouts camp.
