THE DESIGNER
MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY AREN 2019
I am a recent graduate looking to join a team of architects, where I can apply my educational knowledge, creative resilience, visual innovation, research, and problem solving skills to the professional realm of architecture and urban design. The goal is to continue to establish roots, to service and share the journey of growth and change with the communities of Baltimore, all while on the way to licensure. I am lover of art, design and everything in between. I am a natural creator with passions for unearthing the discarded and manifesting new purpose.

COLLABORATIVE INTERFACE ARCH 401 | BUILDING DESIGN I | FALL 2018 Collaborative Interface is located in the Charles North Neighborhood in Baltimore, MD. The design seeks to create a culturally intergrated space that is the common ground for Charles North’s working community of artists and cooks. The design uses creative and odd meshings of program such as a gallery space, arrtist maker spaces and a communal kitchen establish a relationship and spark creative relationships within the comunity. The design uses these programmatic elements and the addition of a urban garden space and specific artistic elements to create a vibrant creative enviroment and platform for creative collaboration and exchange.

CHARLES NORTH
COMMUNAL CONCEPT KITCHEN
The Charles North neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of arts and entertainment venues as well as historic buildings and architecturally impressive houses. Located directly north of Penn Station, the area has been transformed into one of the most hip locations in the city with the Station North Arts and Entertainment District drawing artists, music lovers and young professionals into the heart of Baltimore. Adding to Charles North’s central location is the scenic Jones Falls River corridor just to the south as well as the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Baltimore. Coupled with the neighborhood’s present success, Charles North continues to experience rapid growth and expansion with an exciting array of residential and commercial development planned in the next 10 to 20 years.

The first floor consists of prefabricated wooden elements. In view of the acoustics in the restaurant, the sub-plating is perforated and the elements are filled with insulation. For the roof, the choice fell on a light steel sheet that was also perforated and filled with insulation. With a glass curtain wall, the plinth of the pavilion is completely transparent. The vertical farming greenhouse of eighty square meters is located on the floor next to the meeting rooms. Here vegetables and herbs are grown for the restaurant kitchen.

use in a orically mitless sense e being anters,
We were commissioned to design and renovate an old house in a small alley that branch off from Pham Ngoc Thach St, historically known as Duy Tan. The concept embodied the free and limitless character of space resulting in a humble and provocative sense of spatial purposes hinting toward the center of architecture being the subtle personal connection between the occupants, planters, furniture, and the garden.

CENTRAL CORE:
REVIVING AN URBAN SPINE ARCH 403 | URBAN DESIGN I | FALL 2017
Central Core shows the final illustrations of the comprehensive plan of both South Central Avenue and East Fayette Street in Baltimore City. The main idea of the plan is to revive two existing corridors (with failing or lacking uses of a past industry), and give them new lives, use, and densities by: 1. Adaptivally reusing existing structures along Fayette and Central with past industrial history or with historic value. 2. Giving new industry, increasing the diversity of housing types, commercial and instutional anchors. 3. Addressing the street conditions of both corridors to allow for a more improved and inviting pedestrian experience using a linear park and making use of some vacant lots for new public space for the residents.

HERRING RUN PARK PAVILION ARCH 202 | DESIGN STUDIO II | SPRING 2016
This pavilion design is located along Herring Run Park, which is in the Belair-Parkside neighborhood in Baltimore, MD. The design seeks to create a eye-opening that allows park users to experience a common overhead park view with a refurbished perspective space that is the common ground for areas surrounding Herring Run Park.
The design references natural elements extracted directly from the park. This design features communal programs such as a picnic area, a viewing deck and a support space to facilitate communal gathering. Lastly, the design is a mostly open floor plan that allows Herring Run Park to be the backdrop for the space. Baltimore, MD

DIVIDED CONNECTION ARCH 302 | DESIGN IV - URBAN DESIGN | SPRING 2017 This plan explores potential opportunities for urban redevelopment that address the economic, social, and environmental challenges in the Harlem Park and SandtownWinchester communities in Baltimore, MD. Using strategies outlined in the Green Network Vision Plan developed by the Baltimore City Planning Department in collaboration with consultants, non-profit partners and neighborhood stakeholders, students will explore design possibilities for the generation of economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially vibrant urban communities. Project Goals: Public Interface (Safety and Access): Connectivity increasing density to provide neighborhood watch and extracurricular activities to provide for youthful population. Baltimore, MD Partners: Thabang Nyondo, Damssaul Dufrene

Stricker street transforms to a mixed use corridor with a grocery store that leads to the Harlem Park school redevelopment. The school is has an open pedestrian path with a library, an elementary/middle and high school, leading to the expanded Harlem Square Park.
FOCUSED VACANCY PLAN Stricker Street is predominantly vacant leading up to the institutional anchors. Harlem park school cuts off access down Stricker to the school and Harlem Square park and Route 40. Stricker is a potential corridor for density and ease of access to schools and other amenities.
Stricker along with Gilmor and Calhoun streets become the safer revitalized corridors with commercial spaces near the school, and refurbished rowhomes. This creates a much marketable place to live and work.
Divided Connection My intervention for the Sandtown-Winchester and Harlem park neighborhoods seeks to embrace the division that Lafayette creates. With that division, it uses Stricker Street as a corridor to bind the neighborhoods connection to each other, institutional anchors, and other amenities.

ONE THOUSAND DRAWINGS ARCH 302 | DESIGN IV - URBAN DESIGN | SPRING 2017 This small project is an exercise that involves extracting and abstracting visuals elements from 10 cultural images into 100 transformations. The first step comprised is intense observation and recording (extraction) historical and contemporary material that offers access to the abstraction process. The analysis begins with the identification of: 1) Patterns (Grids and Grains) Formal conditions with objects or endembles of forms 2)Hierarchies. Dominant secondary, and tertiary, systems within patterns. 3)Anomalies and Conclusion. Other systems that emerge.
