01 | GENSLER Semester Internship Denver, CO, USA Fall 2017 Over the course of a four month internship at Gensler’s Denver office, the vast majority of my time was spent working on the master planning effort for Denver International Airport’s Peña Station NEXT Smart City Development. Working as a member of a small team tasked with a broad scope, I had the opportunity to participate in nearly all facets of the project, ranging from the late stages of the initial site analysis to the production of graphics for the final master plan document submitted to the client. While Denver International Airport (DEN) served as our primary client, their partnership with Panasonic offered a unique opportunity to merge mixed use, transit-oriented development with ambitions of creating a “smart city.” The potential for innovative technologies such as an autonomous shuttle and smart street lights to be integrated throughout the site created a unique set of circumstances regarding the character of the individual streets. As a result, I was tasked with generating various options for the individual character of each of the critical streets within the master plan, something that led to discussions both within the studio and with the client.

Street Network Designated to become a commercial development with building heights limited to 8 or 12 stories depending on the block, much of our attention was placed on curating a network of street typologies capable of supporting various activities and growth throughout the site.

02 | ‘THE LIVING CITY’ Gensler Co-Op Research Project Denver, CO, USA Fall 2017 Participating in Gensler’s cooperative studio with the University of Kansas, I had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow interns from Gensler’s Chicago and Los Angeles offices as well as GastingerWalker&’s Kansas City location to develop an exploratory research project throughout the course of the semester. Traditionally designed to encourage urban exploration within each participating city, previous iterations of the studio have addressed topics such as urban design at the human scale and the qualities that make public spaces successful. In response to the continued migration of present generations to cities and the conclusions of previous projects, our studio was asked to consider the problem solving potential of urban interventions and how autonomous technologies might be used to enhance them. Typically of an informal or improvisational nature, urban interventions are occurring at an increasing rate as citizens of urban areas continue to realize their potential to help define the culture of the places they live. Seeking out such interventions in our respective cities, our team looked to analyze their varying scales and levels of impact with a particular focus on those that were closely integrated with technology. Ultimately, we came to the conclusion that urban interventions are highly specific to their context, and therefore the integration of technology as a means of enhancing the adaptability and future success of urban space must adhere to a similar level of consideration for place.

RiNo Art District Through the extensive examination of urban space in our respective locations, we were able to identify opportunities within each city to implement technology as a means of strengthening the community. Working as the only intern in Denver, I chose to investigate the viability of a smart street network in the city’s RiNo Art District.
p. 14
With roots as an industrial district and several historically low income areas, RiNo has flourished into one of the city’s most sought after locations. Now experiencing unprecedented growth, issues of infrastructure, density and gentrification must be addressed to ensure the continued success of the district.
The RiNo Art District boasts a unique “maker culture,” playing home to countless galleries, breweries and a large number of small businesses. However, the area currently lacks the infrastructure to support a growing volume of vehicular and foot traffic.
‘The Living City’ | p. 15
Focusing on the 26th - 28th blocks of Larimer Street, this proposal seeks to capitalize on the flexibility of the district’s existing street network due to its lack of infrastructure, addressing its three street typologies in different ways to create a system capable of supporting a growing population both now and in the future while actively preserving RiNo’s character.

02 Complete Streets Larimer Street, the district’s primary connector to downtown Denver, will be reimagined to comply with complete street initiatives being implemented in many major cities. The streetscape will be refocused on the pedestrian while relying on smart technology to facilitate the efficient movement of traffic.

03 Active Alleyways Presently adorned with graffiti from the annual street art festival, the rugged aesthetic of the district’s alleys will be preserved and celebrated, as they will become a secondary network of footpaths and pop-up shops for local artisans to inhabit.
‘The Living City’ | p. 19
Recognizing the district’s graffitied alleys as one of its most prominent features, the implementation of pocket parks and a pedestrian footpath ensures that one of RiNo’s defining characteristics remains as such.

A Neighborhood in Transition As RiNo continues to grow, the issue of gentrification becomes more and more pressing. New construction within the district is inevitable, therefore this concept strives to provide an impetus for thoughtful growth that respects the district’s existing culture and values.

03 | BURNET COUNTY COURTHOUSE With: Stephen McEnery Burnet, TX, USA Spring 2017 Civic architecture is among the most influential typologies with respect to communities, shaping the ways in which individuals view and interact with bureaucracy. With regard to the proposed Burnet County Courthouse, understanding this level of impact was critical in establishing a clear design intent for the city’s most prominent public building. Organized in a rigid grid system with the existing courthouse at the center, Burnet readily lends itself to the notion of revitalizing the community from the middle out. This proposal seeks to bridge the gap between the need for a dynamic civic space and the iconography associated with judicial architecture by establishing a place for the public within an inherently authoritative program; a goal that is achieved through both the building’s overall form and its integration with the surrounding site. The end result is a dynamic mass that emphasizes the outward expression of courtrooms and public space.
p. 23
1st Floor Plan
Massing Strategy The building’s varied massing serves the dual purpose of legibly expressing its interior function and creating a number of interstitial spaces around the site for patrons to interact with one another, seek shade, or engage with the building’s façade.
p. 24
Burnet County Courthouse | p. 25
Axonometric Section The building’s program is organized around the inward and outward expression of its three courtrooms, with a cutout in the massing along Washington Street to suggest a welcoming presence to the public.
p. 26
Southwest Axonometric The stepping back of the building’s overall volume maximizes public space within the square site and provides visual interest to necessary building functions such as the sally port and secure circulation spaces.
Burnet County Courthouse | p. 27
Both of the magistrate courtrooms feature an asymmetrical layout which justifies the judge’s bench to one side, maximizing the judge’s visibility of the jury, defendant, and gallery while allowing for on-axis entry from the lobby space.

04 | ST. SPYRIDON COLLEGE Semester Abroad Sydney, NSW, Australia Fall 2016 In an area of Sydney where the construction of high rise school buildings is becoming increasingly popular, the brief proposed by St. Spyridon College calls for a hybrid of sorts between this new age style of school and a more traditional campus. In phase I of a proposed three phase plan, St. Spyridon will seek to condense its Kingsford and Maroubra campuses onto a site that is currently home to the primary school and centrally located Greek Orthodox Church. This design addresses phase I of the campus plan by accommodating the school’s full enrollment of 1,500 students while providing maximal greenspace and remaining considerate to the church that anchors the site. The design also seeks facilitate the school’s future growth by establishing a clear entrance and open sightlines to a potential athletic complex and additional education buildings in phases II and III.

Master Plan The master plan simplifies the program into two buildings; a primary school and a high school. The form of the church reinforces circulation patterns across the site. Designating Bruce St. as the main drop-off point for students allows for a dynamic pathway extending through the high school to the infants’ courtyard at the site’s western edge.
