GREEN SPINE Sterling Community Center Redevelopment Sterling, SC
Once a prominent African American community with a steady growth rate, Sterling suffered a devastating fire in the 1960’s. The fire destroyed the community’s cornerstone local high school, and citizens abandoned the town in favor of new community-centric areas. Sterling has struggled ever since, neglected by nearby Greenville and plagued by high crime rates and poverty. The project introduces a farmer’s market, community center, and business incubation center to revive the area. Beyond local developments, the project aims to reconnect Sterling to the rest of Greenville while maintaining its unique sense of community in an effort to reclaim the town’s former prominence.

Bridging the Gap
Site Development
A basis for growth is achieved by extending the “Green Necklace,” a series of active green spaces surrounding Greenville. By using existing undeveloped green spaces and public parks, the necklace can be extended to Sterling to reinvigorate the public space, solidify Sterling’s reabsorption to Greenville, and create a core for community gathering and economic rejuvenation.

LETTER BOX Constructed Memories Charleston, SC // New York City, NY
Giving is one of the most fulfilling and satisfying of actions. The planning and construction of a letter box, gifted to a friend, was a several month process. Beginning with the box, a series of letters were conceived and sent over the course of a summer. With the last letter, the box was revealed and the project became a cohesive whole, switching the roles of physical and mental memory between the gifter and receiver.

SURFACE SPREAD Vision42 Performing Arts Center New York City, NY
The Vision42 initiative proposes transforming 42nd street into a pedestrian-only boulevard serviced by an onsurface light rail while maintaining all North-South traffic flow. Starting with a master plan for the two-mile street, a specific site was chosen to develop a performing arts center. The project strives for the seamless integration of the light rail, pedestrian streetscape, and performing arts center into a unified system. All of these components work symbiotically to activate the public realm and challenge preconceptions of street typology.

EXTRUDE PROGRAM VOLUMES
Defining the Streetscape The street is separated into a series of levels that dictate different circulation patterns while blurring the boundary between interior and exterior. The perfoming arts center is entered through an underground plaza that doubles as a light-rail stop. An above ground plaza becomes a public gathering space, connecting pedestrians to the center through the large glass facade.

CREATIVE SERVICES Interning with University Branding Clemson, SC
The Office of Creative Services is the branding agency at Clemson University - they create the “look and feel� of the university, and ensure the standards are upheld. An office of designers, journalists, photographers, writers, web programmers, and a number of student interns, Creative Services is a collaborative family environment where creativity thrives. Over two and a half years, I developed work for numerous university departments. From Christmas cards to calendars, logos to large publications, banners, vendor specs and more, my experience has been farreaching and inclusive of all the office has to offer. The following is a small sampling of the vast number of projects I completed as an intern.

THE CROPSTOP Farmer’s Commercial-Grade Kitchen John’s Island, SC
The farm to school initiative was started to ensure the health of children, farms, the environment, the economy and communities across the nation. However, the misalignment of harvest seasons and the academic calendar creates a gap in the system. Low income farmers lack viable access to equipment necessary in preparing, processing, and packaging produce for the off-season. The CropStop remedies this dilemma as a co-op led food processing facility. Over the course of the semester, the studio conducted research, design, fabrication, and installation of a commercial grade kitchen at Sweetgrass Garden on John’s Island. The CropStop is the first prototype in a series of sustainable agricultural infrastructure being implemented across the state.

ANALYTIQUES Layered Analysis Drawings Genoa, Italy
Conceptual / Process Sketches
A series of analytical drawings created in the Beaux Arts method blend multiple layers of information into one final composition. Each drawing was developed over the course of one week through a rigorous design process. The first drawing explores the body as a measuring device. Using my own body’s measurements, I created a system based on centricity that reveals proportional relationships between different body parts. The second drawing puts the measuring system to practice by analyzing a Genovese piazza. I sought to combine several qualities within the piazza into one cohesive drawing. These included circulation, use of space, volumetric divisions, and facade studies.

THE TILLMAN MODEL DOE Zero Energy-Ready Competition Home Greenville, SC
The Tillman Model was a collaborative team project submitted to the inaugural DOE Competition Home contest. As the sole architect on a team with five construction science majors, the team worked to develop a zero-energy ready home in South Carolina that applies innovative construction methods with high-efficiency, sustainable appliances. I was responsible for design development, final construction documents, and final submission assembly. The team traveled to Golden, Colorado and presented at the NREL headquarters alongside 32 other teams, where we received an honor award for best lighting and appliances strategy.

MOTION GRAPHICS Blending Mediums Through Animation Various locations
The field of motion graphics combines the finesse of 2 dimensional graphics with the complexity of time and space, a hybrid between architecture and graphic design. Self-taught over several years, I have developed a repertoire of work including school projects, promotional material for student organizations and university departments, and productions for national design shows. The following are sample screenshots from a selection of projects.

As an introduction to precast concrete, this exercise began with the conversion of Ando’s home from a cast in place structure to a precast solution. Building models in increasing scale, a paneling and structural system was developed to recreate the house with no changes to overall form, function, or aesthetic.

Morphological Transformation Moving beyond traditional precast methodologies, the home was reimagined using Non-Euclidian geometry. I developed a mold system that separates each floor into three large Euclidian components. Once the pieces are stacked, the building appears to twist and torque dramatically despite the simple transformation of individual pieces.

IMPACT Museum/Memorial for War and Peace Genova, Italy
Themes of war and peace have been prevalent since societies were first conceived. How do we reconcile the atrocities of war? How do we reach sustainable peace? Two museums and a memorial commemorating both themes entice personal interpretation, reflection, understanding, and enlightenment. The process takes inspiration from the Beaux Arts analytique and Cubist methodologies to produce a space striving toward transcendence. The phenomenological approach engages the public realm with a strong emphasis on context, culture, and procession.
38
Making an Impact The memorial was developed around the concept “Impact” in remembrance of WWII air raid victims. The memorial becomes a cultural anchor at a highly visible location along Genoa’s coast, but all is not as it appears. The monolithic mass rising from the ground is realized to be a hollow lightweight structure projecting occupants’ view toward the sky. The dual experience challenges occupant perceptions, a physical embodiment of the dichotomy between war and peace.
