P R O M E N A D E Rome, IT SITE Largo di Torre Argentina PROJECT TYPE Group Competition TERM Spring 2016 [2 wks] Promenade is a design entry for the 2016 ACSA Steel Competition with programming that includes mixed use commercial at street level with a theater and archaeological museum. Located on the historic site of Largo di Torre Argentina, it was critical to understand the cultural significance of the location as well as find a sensitive way to protect and frame the existing temple ruins. Looking to similar precedents for inspiration, for instance the Crypta Balbi which is adjacent to the site, the intent was to create a place that integrates ancient archaeology with the modern, urban city.

T W O - F O L D Kansas City, MO SITE River Market District PROJECT TYPE Independent Studio TERM Fall 2015 [3 mos] Two-Fold is a mixed-use commerical and multi-residential building located in the River Market District. The existing site consists of an open parking lot with the adjacent City Market Park. The decision to infill the site grew out of trends of growth and development of the immediate area with the hope to establish a more livable and pedestrian-friendly destination. This meant providing more options for housing, civic, education and retail programming that can be accessed and shared by the community.

The River Market District reveals a culture in Kansas City rich in local gastronomy and traditions in music. The district is home to the historic farmers and flea market, frequented by locals and visitors. The development of additional housing, commercial, and retail has established this pocket of Kansas City as a place to live, work and play. In the tune of modern trends in building and the historical nature of the site, Two-Fold fills the gap between the beginnings of the city and the definitive River Market.

Ornithology is a jazz composition by the renown Charlie Parker. The screening system is a rendition of ‘Ornithology’ and demonstrates the influence of music on the built environment. Two variables are used to drive the design - the degree of sun exposure and the fluctuation of notes in the jazz composition. Against the ordinary steel frame of the building, juxtapositions of sporadic versus pattern and free-form versus structure occurs within the system.

Norman, OK PROJECT TYPE Independent Digital Fabrication TOOLS & SOFTWARE Laser Printer, Grasshopper, Rhino TERM Fall 2015 - Fall 2016 Ruling Lines is a study on form creating throug h assigned points and lines in space. Following this methodology, swept surfaces are built throug h a series of straig ht lines that can either run parallel or intersect each another. In return, this requires less material and thus, the overall weig ht of these forms are significantly lowered.

Naum Gabo pioneered what we now know as modern sculpture. His forms are achieved throug h a series of straig ht lines. Ruling Lines applies tools of computation to the making of sculpture-like pieces. The frame contains lines of filament that are assigned points within a list. These points become the holes in which the lines of filament weave in and out of. To render effects of a swept surface, the lines are spaced in short distances from one another.

Reverse List

Forward List

Self-supporting and economical in construction, the 1:1 model follows the guidelines established by Ruling Lines. With a set of computational rules, the model is easily replicable and can be larger in footprint or number of sides. The scale of the frame intends to make the space within inhabitable. Side A

RULE SETTING 1 The top and bottom curves are connected at their corners to create a curve. These curves build the frame. 2 All curves are pi ped. The pi pes are divided into a series of points. 3 The series of points are partitioned into a list for each pi pe. 4 The lists are subdivided into sides per pi pe. This defines the number of indices assigned per pi pe. 5 The indices assigned to the pi pes represent a list. 6 A domain is set for each list. 7 Lines follow a path starting from one indices and ending at another.

OUTPUT A system of intersecting curves that respond to set points on a frame.

Norman, OK PROJECT TYPE Group & Individual Studio TOOLS & SOFTWARE CNC Mill, Laser Printer, Rhino TERM Spring 2014 - Spring 2015 Model making is a valuable practice that asks the designer to build with physics in mind and in return, makes for more well-thoug ht out designs. Selected are models that range from micro to macro level projects that vary from detailed to broad concepts.

1 The waffling structure supports itself using interlocking connections. The individual sheets of plywood were fabricated digitally and milled using a CNC router. The form resembles the interior of a cave as it curves over the top and dissolves at its base. Orientated along a south facing window, lig ht filters throug h the pockets of the waffling structure. Because each sheet of plywood is made unique, lig ht begins to bend itself in various ways.

2 The site sits in the heart of a rapidly growing neig hborhood that is in proximity to Oklahoma City University and Uptown. Common Grounds provides housing for students above while serving as a flex space below for the Uptown community. Uptown lacks access to fresh produce. A central communal garden is dedicated on the first and second floor public use. The building configuration is stacked vertically and staggered horizontally to optimize lig hting within each unit and to begin to introduced the building into the streetscape.

3 Utica Square exists at the intersection of Utica and historic Route 66. The site serves patients and visitors of the Hillcrest Medical Center and foot and vehicular traffic at the OnCue gas station. The proposed revitalization of Utica Square celebrates the regional history of Route 66 while providing an accessible and memorable experience for pedestrians. The proposal includes a new mid-rise multi-use building, public food truck park, and modernization of the existing parking garage into ground level commercial storefronts with a historic car museum and an interactive, illuminated facade.

San Francisco, CA PROJECT TYPE Individual MEDIUM Acrylic & Molding Paste on Canvas COMPLETION Spring 2020 Body Crop, an enlargement of the human ear, is an exploration of the many colors that make up the composition of skin. Playing with a mixture of warm and cool tones, individual portions of the ear are meant to be perceived as forms that interweave and connect to a whole. Additionally, the form of an ear is incredibly nuaced in layers and with the advantage of a larger, 36 in. x 48 in. canvas, there was more flexibility and freedom to play with various thicknesses of paint. This meant using an impasto method, to bring lig hter parts towards the foreground and darker parts blending into the bottomless background.

In contrast, the cooler palette and smaller strokes are intended to render an atmospheric mood that is call to the style of the impressionists. It is a piece of juxtapositions but with opportunities to study the affects that can be produced throug h layering and blending of textures and colors to develop an overall mood of a soft drama.
