01| 1600 WILSON BLVD
Project Description During my tenure at Collective Architecture, I actively contributed to the 1600 Wilson Blvd project. My responsibilities included rendering the 3rd-floor option 2 floor plan and collaborating with Ismail Khelalfa, Liz Turncliff, Alex Hurtado, and Max Cuzmuc in the initial phases of developing office spaces and open workspaces for the 4th-floor option 2 floor plan. Location: Arlington, VA Software: Revit Photoshop

02 | PROMENADE
Project Description During my tenure at Collective Architecture, I was actively involved in the Promenade project. As part of my responsibilities, I conducted a comprehensive site survey, gathering measurements of specific interior characteristics of the building. In collaboration with Ismail Khelalfa, Liz Turncliff, Alex Hurtado, and Max Cuzmuc, I translated my on-site observations into an elevation drawing, contributing to the project’s overall development.

Banos Publicos - Precedent
Project Description Concept-Spatial experience The project’s goal is to propose distinct spatial qualities and articulate movement patterns in response to the given site. The site, situated in an urban area adjacent to Findlay Market in Cincinnati, serves as the focal point for our design considerations. Additionally, we were tasked with studying relevant precedents for this project and generating 3D models and diagrams to gain a comprehensive understanding of its inherent qualities.

05 | PREFORMANCE PAVILION
Project Description Concept- Tectonics The objective of this project is to formulate a pavilion design, drawing inspiration from our precedent model, that skillfully conveys tectonic elements. Key considerations include incorporating rhythm, structure, fragmentation, modules, units, repetition, and difference. The challenge is to transition from an abstract concept to a specific design. The designated site for this endeavor is Burnet Woods. Software: Rhino Illustrator Photoshop

Project Description Concept- Line weights The goal of this assignment is to produce a digital set of drawings for one of our assigned studio precedent studies. These drawings encompass a plan, section, and elevation, emphasizing the utilization of appropriate line weights and poche. The primary focus is on refining our skills in Rhino. Software: Rhino

07 | ROOFTOP PAVILION
Project Description Concept- Circulation The objective of this project is to design a rooftop pavilion, based on a precedent assigned, that will be placed on top of the materials library building. It is meant to provide a functional space where people may escape to enjoy the company of the outdoors. Selected Precedent: Openhome House

08 | MODULAR UNIT
Project Description Concept- Assembly This project asked us to explore with repetitive units and examining the part-to-whole relationship that emerges through the aggregation of multiple units within a system. Working collaboratively as a group, our objective was to design individual units and proficiently assemble them to convey a system characterized by qualities such as depth, rhythm, and movement.
