CHICAGO BLUES CULTURAL CENTER _Graduate Building Design Studio _Spring 2017 _Juried Exhibition Featured Piece
Program Massing
THE PARADOX This is the eternal paradox of the Blues: freedom and beauty nurtured amid conditions of oppression and ugliness; joy, even transcendence arising from lives scarred by struggling and suffering. This paradox of liberation through oppression is the formal narrative of the Cultural Center. As blues music is formed and rises from the oppression around it, so the building form rises from the heavy base embodied by thick brick facade. The Cultural Center seeks to not only educate the patron and the public about blues history and its origins, but engage them as well, allowing for a multi sensorial experience. This education and engagement takes form in three major functions: Learning (exhibition spaces), Listening (musical library) and playing (performance and practice spaces).

Programmatically, public functions such as a blues club, retail, and a public plaza can be found in the heavy base. As one rises through the base and into the lighter volume, the functions become patron oriented and include exhibition space, music libraries, and various performance spaces

BRIDGING GOWANUS _Graduate Building Design Studio _Brooklyn, NY _Winner of CNU Academic Award, 2016
NEIGHBORHOOD BRIEF Gowanus is a neighborhood situated on the southwest side of Brooklyn in New York City. Currently a 1.8 mile toxic canal, the result of poor drainage, and byproduct waste, runs through the heart of the community. Plans are in the works for restoration, making it a prime target for developers and eventual gentrification. The goal of our proposal was two fold: Revitalize and connect the canal edge to the community, while proposing a Form Based Code that would discourage neighborhood-wide gentrification. As we developed our master-plan, we were careful to preserve the neighborhood’s existing character, building stock and local job supplying Industrial Business Zone (IBZ). Additionally we sought to create essential nodes along the canal to further a sense of place and identity within the community. The resulting design is a highly active and resilient canal edge, well connected to the Gowanus urban fabric and surrounding neighborhoods.

MATHARE VALLEY ACADEMIC CENTER _Graduate Community Design Studio _Nairobi, Kenya _Selected Design for Marketing
A BEACON OF HOPE Located in a slum outside of Nairobi, Mathare Valley Academic Center seeks to be a beacon of hope for children in the community and their futures. Because of the primitive resources, we sought to pursue passive building strategies, focusing mainly on daylighting and natural ventilation. We also sourced local materials, including locally quarried and cut stone and bamboo, keeping in mind local tradesmen. The tensile roof also draws out sustainable methods, as it is used to both collect rainwater and diffuse direct sunlight into the space. Being a four story building, the height, combined with the expressed structure and undulating roof line, creates a sense of place, and a literal physical beacon of hope. Water Cistern

BOX HOUSE _Personal Project _Tiny Homes Chicago Competition _Awarded 3rd Place
A SHELTER AND A VISION Using the Tiny Homes Chicago Competition as a platform, my colleague and I sought to create a versatile, affordable, and efficient shelter for the homeless, all the while providing a vision for their future. To create a sense of enclosure and shelter for resting and rejuvenation, we used a concrete box culvert for the house’s framework, on which everything else is built upon. A large picture window embodies the concept of vision, inspiring inhabitants to pursue a future beyond the walls of their dwelling. Additionally, The prefabricated and modular nature of each house, allows for several different community arrangements, to accommodate various zoning and social conditions.

450 NORTH MORGAN _Pappageorge Haymes _Commercial and Office _Fulton Market, Chicago
A STUDY IN MATERIAL 450 North Morgan was my first large-scale project in which I worked directly with the client, consultants and contractors. In this project I was able to grow not just my managerial skills but my knowledge of code, zoning, and technical drawings for permit and bidding. One of the driving factors of this project’s design was material selection. As a result, I had the opportunity to network with product manufacturers and grow in my understanding of how specific materials fit with the building assembly as a whole.

GALESBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
_OPN Architects _Competition: Honorable Mention _Galesburg, IL
A LIBRARY FOR EVERYONE Galesburg is a diverse city, home to both white and blue collar communities. This proposal for the Galesburg Public Library acts as a confluence for all people groups, creating opportunities of interactions, both inside and outside the building. The library also seeks to take advantage of its unique site location by creating visual and formal connections to both its urban and rural context and to the city as a whole. Finally, the location of the library makes it a destination point for the city’s youth, providing after school activities and resources such as a young adult center, exterior roof garden, and street front cafe.

LINDNER CONNECTION
FORMAL DRIVERS
_Junior Studio Charrette _Spring 2010 _Juried Exhibition Entry
DIRECT CONNECTION Currently, The Lindner Tower, home to both dormitories and academic functions, sits unattached from the rest of campus. Two main factors lead to this result: a large parking lot, and under-designed pathways. To re-engage the tower with the campus, I chose to create a path that would execute the most direct route from Lindner to the rest of campus, while still maintaining a visual connection. The result is a bridge structure spanning both River Road and University Drive, as well as two new dorms acting as rest stops along the way.

However, as in most things, complexities arise creating a spectrum between the two. This spectrum highlights gray areas, where moments of rest could occur while working, and the inspiration to work is sparked while in a state of rest.
