TILTED CUBE The “ TILTED CUBE” is a 12’x12’ personal space. The design follows an idea of 15 degree shifts starting at the passage way. The dowels create a rotational experience when walking to the final space.The final space is elevated 45 degrees completing the rotation.

CIRCULATION OF CUBES “THE CIRCULATION OF CUBES” is a small study space for the students of Kennesaw State University. The space is a spin on the site’s topography with direct relations to it and the circling trees. The design explores different elevations to change views and sense of privacy while also exploring the techtonic language of its surfaces to change sense of enclosure.
ORTHOGRAPHICS The design allows for the curved wall to become pocketed spaces for seating. The wall and the floors become the furniture for its occupants

RF.C9 MOUNTAINEER’S REFUGE The proposal is constructed through planes and angles. It also has a cover which within its folds allows the entrance and cuts for exterior views. Composed of a central corp of services,the form is established from folds that correlatively determine its interior and exterior. The shell is composed of pine wood, metal elements and crystals are transformed to fulfill two functions, structural and volumetric.

THE LIVING CURVE “The Living Curve” is a home on Terrell Mill Road for the couple David and Sally. The house is concedered “Living” because of the forms implementation with sustainability. The house appeals to all the needs and wants of its clients and gives every aspect of the house a purpose.
THE SITE
The Terrell Mill site provided plenty of opportunites with the downward sloping topography. Though there were many problems like the noise from the street and privacy from neighbors. I began sketching to find ways to solve these problems with the form of the house itself by pulling the roof from the topography and creating one continous move to define the spaces in the home.
THE SPACES The client wanted spaces where they can entertain guest while also have privacy. This design actively uses its roof as a place where the most public activies can happen. The external staircase allows the owners to entertain their guest without them ever entering their home

THE FUTURE STOP “The Future Stop” is a small bus stop design. The bus stop is designed in Midtown Atlanta, Ga on Peachtree Street North-East. It is a futuristic aesthetic spin on bus stop architecture with plays on material elements, lighting elements, and comfortbility. The design focuses on visibility from bus driverto-stop, bus schedule, graphics, and safety.

THE SHED “PRECEDENT ANALYSIS” DETAIL SECTION MODEL + FULL SCALE MODEL The SHED Bloomberg Building is a 18,500 sturcture designed by Diller Scofido + Renfro and Rockwell Group. It was design to physically transform based on the needs of the artists’ most ambitious ideas. The SHED’s open infrasturcture can be permanently flexible for an unknowable future and responsive to a variability of scale, media, technology, and the evolving needs of artists.
This side of the model aims to showcase the structure with and without the ETFE plastic and show the relationship with its assembly to the truss framing
This side of the model showcases the full framing of this structure. It also highlights the steel columns, trusses, and ETFE framing. It also takes a look at the kinetic components of The Shed.
WALL OF ART The “Wall of Art” is a art museum located in Marietta Square. The design focuses on creating ideal spaces for studios and galleries with the use of a “WALL” that becomes a directional element for circulation and the creator of programatic spaces.
SITE ANALYSIS Site Activites and Views The side walk houses a large amount of people and activies throught the day. Those activites include eating, dancing, walking, etc.
SITE PLAN
Concept The inspitation is based off of the ideaologies of the artist Kazimir Malevich’s concept of “Suprematism” which is the development of forms of expression that moves away from the typical natural forms. The Marietta Square site is an example of a pure rigid natural form, with all its buildings layed out according to its grid. This design moves to break the typical grid from the given site

FRAME OPENINGS: The Etfe plastic framing creates a unique pattern which opens up at specific locations. On the south framing it opens to capture two different activities happening along it. The first activite being walking and the second being sitting. The east frame openings allow for a more direct light to enter the gallery space, specifically the large objects gallery. This allows for a spot light on a specific artwork.

DETAIL SECTION PERSPECTIVE : Detail section perspective showing the importance of the “WALL” structurally. The wall supports each floor with a steel beam connection that goes through the “WALL”. The floor then connects to a column that supports both glass facade and etfe facade
SECTION PERSPECTIVE + PLAN: Showcasing the change in environments and use through the “WALL” split with how it facilitates transitions through different activites. Sharing the play of interior and exterior spaces and their relationships to focused vs social spaces.
