Merging of Urban Constraints Bergen, Norway Prof. Ingrid Strong_2015
Tectonic studies entwined with artistic conceptual elements are the driving force behind today’s contemporary design standards. Boat making is an element craft that requires layers of structure and formwork. This building takes the structural interior of a wooden boat and its exterior wrapping to form a sleek tectonic space that allows visitors to circulate freely, allowing people to see the beauty of this nautical craftsmanship as well as experiencing breathtaking views of Boston Harbor. The building responds to the boat by forming around it on the ground as well as in the air. Elevating the structure allows the boat to drive directly into the workspace making the boat and it’s craft the buildings hierarchy.

Prof. Carol Burns_ 2015
Existing in the middle of Boston’s Beacon Hill, West End, North End and Waterfront lies the Government Service Center designed by Paul Rudolph. The once State Health, Welfare and Education Service Center has fallen in disrepair dividing the surrounding neighborhoods. Providing a public communal gathering space such as a Boston historical museum brings in tourists as well as residents. This brings a new refreshing atmosphere to a structure that is otherwise neglected by the public.
One key to the proposed museum potential success is constructing an easy and efficient circulation path. The diagram on right shows street access transitioning into museum gallery spaces. The glass pavilions outlined in blue allow larger open spaces within the museum that begin to break down the threshold between public and private domains.
The museum occupies the current ground level and mezzanine level of the Government Service Center. The program on the ground level is open to the public but as one moves to the mezzanine the program turns to a more private setting only accessible by admission.
The pavilion roof top gardens allow residents to break away from the business of the city. Sloping landscapes present a relaxing resting place along side pavilions. The pavilions expose large exhibits within the museum for free. The new courtyard becomes a landmark for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Theodor-Heuss Library Extension Berlin, Germany Prof. Ursula Huffer_ 2014
Through urban analysis we see that a single building can become a focal point for a community or city by provoking the senses of the people. With this library extension my goal was to create a fun and welcoming place that would improve the existing urban space by attracting foot traffic from the street as well as through the park. The geometries of the park as well as the large child population in the area influenced the concept and curvature of the building. I created family friendly spaces with plenty of light and color making this new public space an aesthetically pleasing destination for all people to enjoy.

Ship Building Center East Boston, MA Prof. Carol Burns_2014
Tectonic studies entwined with artistic conceptual elements are the driving force behind today’s contemporary design standards. Boat making is an element craft that requires layers of structure and formwork. This building takes the structural interior of a wooden boat and its exterior wrapping to form a sleek tectonic space that allows visitors to circulate freely, allowing people to see the beauty of this nautical craftsmanship as well as experiencing breathtaking views of Boston Harbor. The building responds to the boat by forming around it on the ground as well as in the air. Elevating the structure allows the boat to drive directly into the workspace making the boat and it’s craft the buildings hierarchy.
The theoretically proposed self supporting cantilevered truss system becomes the buildings form. Rotation of the truss is due to change in program. The base of the truss is focused towards views of either Boston Harbor or the boat building workshop. Bending in the truss widens the windows allowing for a more scenic experience while occupying the space.
Tepid Ellipse Lighting Boston, MA
Independent Work/Senior 2015
This design charette features a pinewood framed lamp fixture with a warm incandescent bulb delivering a relaxing feel to the space. This project was influenced by my studio project site, the Government Service Center by Paul Rudolph. My goal was to produce a warm sculptural light for museum program that would view as a individual gallery piece. The ellipse geometry of the lamp is derived from Rudolph’s organic style of using concrete. The curves of this lamp make for a captivating form while casting interesting shadows upon the surrounding walls.

Prof. Ingrid Strong/Junior 2014
The performing arts are a visual display of emotion that tell viewers a story. When walking through Wellesley’s campus you would not realize that these crafts are taking place. I created a visual atmosphere for people to enjoy the studies taking place. The three buildings are formed based off the slope of the topography and sun exposure. Massings slide to allow the proper amount of light to enter each programmatic space and cascade down the hill side to adhere to the earth. There is a transition space between all three buildings linking them together with an integration of landscape and architecture.
