Travel: As a student and as a human being I have an insatiable passion for travel. The knowledge and experience I have gained from traveling, across the United States as well as Europe, has been an incredible inspiration to the way I design and the way in which I perceive the user I am designing for.

A New Plan for Downtown Greensboro: revitalizing an urban core

Prof. Deb Ryan. Urban Design and Renewal
The design of the new complex was in response to the two scales of Greensboro. One of the scales being the low rise vernacular and the other being the high rise commercial.
Designing for Greensboro: Fall 2008 my design studio worked with a real client. The Weaver foundation, a non proďŹ t organization dedicated to the devlopment of Greensboro, approached my professor Deb Ryan about possibly working with her students to provide provocative design work in order to stimulate a conversation among the citizens of Greensboro. This work is a culmination of my intent to develop an urban fabric which is responsible to the pedestrian. The design incorporates a plinth as the base of the high rise tower, a scale technique I observed while researching residential structures in Vancouver over my Fall break. View across Center City Park west towards the proposed development.

Prof. Mark Morris. Interacting with an Urban Condition
The very ďŹ rst design project I was given in my second year was to redesign the shell of a loft in New York City. The project had been completed already and published in DWELL magazine. Our goal as design students were to make a better design than the one which
was published than display our work in a two page layou worthy of publication in DWELL magazine. We were to construct a ďŹ nely detailed bass wood model of the space, photagraph it, then develop the narrative around which our space existed.

Prof. Dale Brentrup. Designing for Environmental Sustainabiltity
Designing in North Dakota: In the fall of my third year I had the pleasure of having Dale Brentrup as my Studio instructor. Dale Brentrup runs the Day lighting Lab at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Through his studio I learned through the power of design one truly has the capability of making a building environmentally efďŹ cient as well as respectful to the region in which it is being designed. Through this design studio I gained tremendous knowledge of passive systems such as: natural ventilation, day lighting as well as how structural systems become instrumental in building design. The concept of regionalism became very important when considering materiality as well deciding how the vernacular architecture would inform the student’s designs.

Prof. Mark Morris. Interacting with an Urban Condition UP CLOSE and PERSONAL ,
During the course of my second year Fall semester my architecture year traveled to Chicago to take on the rich history of the Chicago built environment. My studio project that semester stemmed from that visit to Chicago. Our Studio project was to design a temporary art gallery to house works by a Chicago native, Richard Weisenborn who
created work for the WPA during the time of the Great Depression. The site was located between the Field Museum and the Planetarium, on narrow strip of land between the two avenues. Our goal was to integrate drawing skill gained in our ďŹ rst year of school with computer skills such as Sketch Up which we were beginning to become familiar with.

Prof. David Walters. Introduction to Urban Design
Morehead St. Elevation Spring 2008 I began my ďŹ rst semester of Urban Design. I became instantly aware of the importance of parking in America and the ramiďŹ cations of parking on the design of a building in an urban context. I also learned about facade intent in this studio as well. I began to understand relationship between the facade of a building and the program which inhabits the space behind it.
