WIND TURBINES (BRIGHT GREEN) WERE PLACED IN THESE AREAS TO GENERATE ENERGY FOR THE BUILDINGS. A WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM (LIGHT BLUE) WAS DESIGNED TO CATCH RAIN WATER AND RE-USE GREY WATER. AND A DOUBLE SKIN WALL (ORANGE) WAS PUT IN ON THE SOUTH SIDE TO ALLOW VENTILATION INTO THE UPPER FLOORS OF THE BUILDING.

The Vortex

Sandusky: Adaptive Re-use Project

Fall 2014

EXISTING CONDITIONS

The Vortex aims to bridge the surrounding areas by meshing business, food, education, and organic space into a proactive, hands-on learning center that is fun for all ages. A focus of sustainability, and emphasis on water management, prompts a subject that is important to the culture of Sandusky, and its visitors.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

New Direction Firenze: Gastronomy Center

N CORNER

W CORNER

Spring 2014

S CORNER

The aim of this Gastronomy Center is pull in people from all over Firenze and give them a taste of what the city is all about. This facility was inspired by the concept of literally pulling people onto and into the building. This is achieved by taking the paths people are likely to be traveling on and changing their direction. All main access corridors have an intriguing entrance either up and onto the top of the building, or through two interior spaces.

Led By Design

Ocracoke: Retreat for the Visually Impaired

Fall 2013

This retreat, located on the Beaches of North Carolina, uses the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural surroundings to lead people through the complex. Individual buildings consist of bedrooms, craft/ activity rooms, and a performance stage. The placement of the buildings organizes the flow of the wind. The people walking through the space can conclude where they are based on the feel of the wind. Similarly, the texture, and porosity of the building changes based on its displacement from the water. Topography, sun, and shadow are also taken advantage of.

Shifted

Akron: Recreation Center

Spring 2013

STREET ELEVATION

1ST FLOOR PLAN

This project was based off the type of action that happens in a recreation center. It involves a lot of moving and shifting. When one shift occurs it causes shifts in other parts of the buildings, and every shift results in altered space with potential. The surrounding buildings shifted this rec center. The altered spaces became areas for gathering or viewing.

Direct Connection Kent: Food Bank

Fall 2012

The focus of my project was the bond between different spaces. Chemical bonds are thick or strong connections uniting two things. Most of the spaces in the food bank have a bond/relationship between them whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they use each other, work with each other, or that the both have similar uses. Some of these bonds are larger or smaller than others.

Other Projects Grasshopper & CNC Millwork

Using Grasshopper and Rhino, I studied different patterns. I picked one that would be good for milling on both sides of a piece of foam. Then I needed to mill one side and then strategically set up the other side so that the two sides would match up, and mill a 3D pattern.

Wood Work Wooden Portfolio case Handmade December, 2013 This portfolio case was made from scratch using wood, brass fasteners, and a leather strap. A soldering Iron was used to carve a design in the front.

Dresser Restoration July, 2014 This dresser was stripped of paint, sanded, and stained. New handles were installed.
