the woodland
Urban Retreat Summer 2014 | Prof. Lora Kim Site and Environment Studio
Designing within a theoretical woodland site, the idea of trees as a dynamic and naturally occuring spatial definer was a driving element of the project. In keeping the site’s existing tree planting as undisturbed as possible, the architecture of the Urban Retreat implants itself around the void established by the location of the trunks. Contouring around each tree, the building and site design work to establish views and create a relationship with site and architecture.

Cambridge
Ballet Center Fall 2013 | Prof. Alberto Cabre Tectonics Studio
Serving as both a practice studio and a performance center for a ballet group in Cambridge, public interaction becomes a major element in the program. A large, light-filled atrium divides performance and practice but is then re-stitched together with a pair of catwalks that create a link between the behind the scenes and the final performance, as well as creating an environment of chance interactions between dancer and visitor.

Kunsthaus Bregenz
Façade Precedent Study Spring 2013 | Prof. Aaron Weinert Materials and Methods 2
Sectional model and analysis of Peter Zumthorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kunsthaus, exploring the relationship between the facade system employed and the structural system of the building. Built in groups of three, the week long project looked to analyze a selection of buildings and their facade systems through model and drawings. The final model is currently on long term display in the reception area of the department office.

the Jose Mateo
Performance Pavilion Fall 2013 | Prof. Alberto Cabre Tectonics Studio
Capturing the temporal nature of the pavilionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, the Jose Mateo Performance Pavilion becomes a year round landmark in Cambridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joan Lorentz Park. An independent roof system opens and closes based on the needs and season at the time. Retracting and expanding, this dynamic element acts as an indicator of the summer performance season. During the colder months, the system is removed and the light weight trellis structure is exposed.
