Yoga Cabin
TAXONOMY YEAR 2011 MATERIALS Digital Output & Styrene Model DESCRIPTION This is the culmination of my third semester in architecture school. The site for the yoga, meditation, and guest cabin is a small rural town: Rosebud, Missouri. I chose a location adjacent to the lake. My project proposes a ~2000 sqft concrete structure that “breaths� off the prevailing winds across the lake, while deterring sunlight with hand-cranked louvers. Through its movement the building explores the joint between the forest and the water.

Materials Research
TAXONOMY YEAR 2010-2011 MATERIALS Lead Drawings, Stone & Wood Constructs DESCRIPTION Stone: Here I explored how stone forms horizontally underneath the Earth’s surface, yet is extracted by man to create vertical structures Wood: For this project I trimmed a log into thin strips, steamed them, and bent them into an organic composition; this is a scale model for a space where the university community may relax or work outdoors Space Brick: The project is composed of a main spine with dovetail joints that allow four partitions to move and explore light, shadow, and space.

Urban Garden
TAXONOMY YEAR 2010 MATERIALS Lead Drawing & Basswood Model DESCRIPTION This project was the culmination of my first semester at WashU. The proposed site is in a dilapidated St. Louis neighborhood where many urban gardens serve as in-fill. I, along with two partners: Jae Yong Lee & Theodore Bazil, created a site plan designating and maximizing the terrain available for gardening. Individually, we created structures that served as potting and storage shelters. My shelter (inspired by a wire model we created prior) captures rainfall and harnesses it for the sustainable practice of hydroponic gardening.

Internship Experience
TAXONOMY YEAR 2011 MATERIALS Digital Models, Exported Renderings, Hand Drawings, & Brand Identity DESCRIPTION The following works are extractions from my internship at the Daniel Grimm Architecture firm. Although I performed many tasks, much of the work displayed here is digital modelling with accompanying renderings. In addition to 3D modelling I also worked with the architect to consider revising the brand identity of the firm.
