BRONZEVILLE
ENTERTAINMENT
CENTER
The design intent is an open, interactive, expressive, vibrant, and dynamic space that is structured into 4 volumes connected by a bridge. The bridge serves as a central gathering space and each volume is differentiated by program, materials, and scale. The Bronzeville Entertainment Center is a nodal scheme, where everything circulates around the bridge. I established 3 primary design objectives that help define my Bronzeville Entertainment Center, performance, education, and experience. The envelope of my design is a wooden screen that serves 4 main purposes: to provide shade, to serve as enclosure, to define programatic spaces, and to occasionally display art for advertising performances. The performance hall has 2 operating panels, one that encloses the space for different uses, such as small lectures, dance, yoga or theatre. The second panel operates over a rectangular opening to let light in and keep light out for different occupancies. The perspectives represent the experience. The entourage is not only showing the relationship in scale but specifically how people experience the space. I created a dynamic relief texture that appears unfinished within my perspectives to represent that music and the building occupancy is a paradigm.

COLLAGE HYBRID: The separation in my collages identifies the segregation and the need of revitalization within the Bronzeville community. One half identifies its current status as being rough, broken, and unpleasant. I portrayed this unattractive site with a distressed approach by tearing and cutting up materials that I found on site. The other half extrudes out along with images of Jazz musicians that used to perform within the Bronzeville District. This half is approachable, clean, and smooth. The appearance captures your attention through contrast of materials and the string represents the connection by revitalizing this district through entertainment.

TOWER
The design intent is an active, transformative skin and component that morphs into the site. The component is broken into 3 different functions. One that is kinetic through a pneumatic system responding to all directions of the sun consisting with minimal apertures. The second is static; its function is to control daylight through minimal apertures by creating ambient lighting. The third is kinetic; the component opens up at the Velodromes high points for natural ventilation without any apertures. The shape and form is derived from 4 major points of the site. 1. The Milwaukee Fairgrounds 2. The Petit Center 3. Speeday Racetrack 4. Hank Aaron State Trail. The intent is to have the skin bleed from the ground plane up and create a component that responds to the sites active conditions.
The objective was to understand the sites existing harsh conditions. An elevated sloped bridge to the 1st floor to accommodate for flooding and the skin is primarily static due to the sites severe conditions. The design intent is to split the tower into 4 different levels, each level has a direct relationship with the site. There is the Water, Wind, Tree, and Sky levels. The Wind level is the only kinetic skin movement, the idea is to experience the environments conditions within the level and the skin is overlapping reflective circular washers that move and create sound. The wind level is the full experience of the sites conditions.

COLLEGE
The intent is to create a space where students can integrate their everday lives socially and educationally. The design intent is an L-Shaped linear organizational scheme that represents our seasonal changes through contrast of materials to help fuse in with the context. I incorporated corten steel, copper, weathered wood, and concrete. The building is positioned closer to the edge of the residential area to create a large unobstructed courtyard. The building is placed in close proximity to the residential area in consideration of the noise, thus making a connection to engelmann field. The lower half of the building merges into its surroundings to accommodate for the neighboring residents. The first floor is an open space with a void through the “L� and entry ways on each end of the residential college to connect the building and students together within the site.

MARKET
the goal is to embed the building into the site and create space inside and out that connects to brady and Pearson streets. I chose to carve into the site to allow access onto the zigzag green roof from brady street level. The zigzag allows space for intensive and extensive plants along with resting stops for dinning and entertainment. The plan organizational scheme for the market is a nodal scheme with a U-shaped plan where everything circulates around a multi level courtyard on Brady and Pearson. The slope of the roof, accessibility, shape, and organization of spaces were designed to emphasize the sites existing conditions to maximize view corridors and access to daylight. I chose to access the roof from the West on Brady Street. Accessing the roof on the East would make the West point higher which would obstruct the view corridors towards the River. access from the West of the building creates views along the entire ZigZag that aren’t obstructed by the building. The plaza design has two levels with rate spaces, one on Brady to connect ers to the street, one on Pearson to views of the river, and one enclosed

TECTONICS/CONSTRUCTED
FIELD
Description: Focusing on structure to skin, interior to exterior, daylighting and acoustics, and developing a structural system into the ground plane. Purpose: Designing the auditorium in a linear composition relating to the constructed field. I designed 2 layers of glass and a screen to control southern daylight. Its relating to my constructed field with contrasting materials, daylight control, interlocking structural elements, scale, and the orientation to the existing site. Working with the edge and turning the corner I chose to interlock and overlap my walls, roof, and ground plane, keeping the same system throughout my work. This jointery system started to develop with my first project (tectonic joints) in 320 studio.

Dear Hiring Manager, While I will graduate with a BS in Architectural Studies in spring of 2014, my education plans do not end there. My intent is to enroll in graduate school to pursue a professional Master of Architecture degree with a focus on Ecological Design. As I’ve grown, I’ve learned that Architecture is constantly changing, it’s a paradigm shift that we need to adapt to. Changes in technology, building materials, sustainability issues, and the way we perceive “good” Architecture is a dynamic-adaptive-communicative process. I’ve become successful as an Architectural Designer by learning to adapt to these changes, keeping an open mind, respecting and understanding the past, present, and future needs of what we need to do to improve the way we live through design. How do I differentiate myself from others? My personality, attitude, experience, and dedication to learn Architectural Design has truly changed the way I perceive the world in which we live. I consider myself overtly expressive, outgoing, and energetic. I view how Architecture “works”, opposed to how it “looks” and I am constantly speculating my discoveries to ask the right questions. To better understand Architecture, I’ve sought out different construction jobs in roofing, flooring, landscaping, and remodeling. That experience has improved my skills in communication, clarity, efficiency, and team work. It’s virtually impossible to me to produce satisfactory work without the collaboration and confidence of a team. My hands-on experience is not limited to the building materials we use; I believe it is essential to understand today’s advanced software to help communicate the design process. I continuously research and explore new technologies to become more efficient with the software and through my work. I’ve been utilizing Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, FormIt, Photoshop, and InDesign to help communicate my work visually. My skill sets in technology have enabled me to become more interested in scripting and coding my own Architectural social network software that’s more interactive through the design process. Sustainability issues are one of my foremost concerns through Architecture, which is why I am choosing to further my education in Ecological Design. I am concerned with where and how we get our materials, how we deconstruct our buildings efficiently, and discovering new solutions that produce sustainable outcomes. I look forward to discussing my skills, experience, and vision for the future of Architecture.
-thank you for your consideration.
