EDUCATION
Objective: Serving the surrounding community through well-crafted design that is socially and environmentally responsible. While I strive to design projects for a diverse set of clients I deviate from traditional design in aspiring to work clients, alongside under-served populations that often aren’t given access to exceptional design services.

Mt. Tabor Baths Reusing water reservoirs as a geothermal bathing experience Location: Portland, OR Professor: Jeff Schnabel 2016 | Portland State University

The Concept of this project arose out of the experience of being in a swimming hole in the Oregon wilderness. While the user may have their head above water, they are immersed in the monolithic rock walls surrounding.

Due to the draining of drinking reservoirs at Mt. Tabor Park, this project serves as an alternative for the unused open-air reservoirs. The Mt. Tabor bathhouse is an intervention proposing a geothermal power plant and a bath house reusing the heated water from the power plant. The depth of the reservoir is used to create an excavated space (void). alluding to gorges containing swimming

These voids contain showers, locker rooms, and the lobby. The swimming canyon is lined with rough basalt rock, alluding to its excavation, while the excavated mass of the building is made of a refined reinforced concrete.

REFUGEE BUSINESS CONNECTION CENTER Connecting Refugees to Desirable Employment Location: GRESHAM, OR Professors: ANNA GOODMAN, TRAVIS BELL, BARBARA SESTAK 2017 | Portland State University
Suburbs such as Gresham are home to refugee populations due to the lower cost of living. Living outside of a dense urban core, however leaves those dependent on mass transit with long commutes to job centers. The Refugee Business Connection Center serves as a center in Gresham connecting Refugees to desirable jobs. Some of the services included in the program are spaces for pop-up shops and offices, a business accelerator for job training, and a ride share.

La Familia Campus Using community engagement to inform the creation of a new non-profit campus Location: Sacramento, CA Professors: James McGrath, Mark Raggett 2017 | Portland State University
La Familia, a non-profit in south Sacramento approached the school of architecture with the request to analyze their existing campus and design an alternative. A design charrette was conducted in Sacramento where students were able to hear the desires of the community.

The new campus seeks to better respond to the surrounding neighborhood. The campus was organized through the analysis of bars, slices, and zones. Slices were cut perpendicular and parallel to the main street abutting the property in order to draw individuals from the public realm to the most important spaces on campus.

New Hope Studio’s focus was a parcel of land on Detroit’s impoverished east side. Students were asked to design a neighborhood that would address inner city challenges while providing a home for Syrian refugees arriving in the Detroit area.
22
The beginning of the semester involved intensive research on Detroit and the Syrian Refugee Crisis while developing an urban plan for the neighborhood. The rest of the semester consisted of students designing individual projects that would collectively make up the new district.

Vliet Street Intervention Making a statement in the Washington Park Neighborhood Location: Milwaukee, WI Professor: Arijit Sen 2015 | University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Project done in partnership with Kelsey Nuthalls, Jwayne Gordon, and Matthew Stuessy washingtonparkstudio.weebly.com/vliet-street-2015.html
One of the largest issues on Vliet Street was the speed of traffic. Vliet Street was not a lively public realm, therefore not presenting a reason for drivers to slow down. In turn, the fast traffic discouraged businesses from congregating along the street. Our team engaged local residents, asking the question, ‘What makes you slow down?’ The responses from the community inspired us to create an installation meant to raise awareness of pedestrian life on the street.

A new art piece mimicking a pedestrian crossing sign was created. Bright colors found on common street graphics were used to bring the artwork to life. Cut-outs of the pedestrian were then placed in various locations on Vliet Street to give character to the neighborhood and emphasize the existence of local residents.

Redefining the In-Between Reinvigorating the Vliet Street Corridor Location: Milwaukee, WI Professor: Arijit Sen 2015 | University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee http://washingtonparkstudio.weebly.com/zachary-pate.html
33
Following the Vliet Street Intervention, an individual project was pursued creating a long-term plan for the corridor. This project focused on using
passageways (empty set-backs) between buildings) as innovative sites for social life and activity. Reusing vacant in-between spaces would improve Vliet Street, transforming undesirable spaces into
locations for the public to gather.

Zone 3 Storage and Utility
Zone 2 Secondary Gathering
Zone 1 Entry and Gathering
Most buildings on Vliet Street can be divided into three zones. Based on this formal layout, this project experiments with shifting edge (load bearing) walls or creating internal infill walls to transform exterior spaces along passageways.

Front and Back Patios
The result was an active courtyard for businesses or community centers. In this instance, the courtyard is shown as a central sculpture garden surrounded by an arts center.

The existing infrastructure on Vliet Street presents opportunities to create new and unique public spaces. These public spaces have the potential to generate more interest and activity along the retail corridor, contributing to its revitalization.

In anticipation of an upcoming partnership between the Center for Public Interest Design (CPID) and the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) to design and construct three new transit shelters as part of the Blue Line Light Rail expansion project, our team researched and developed a spectrum of engagement tools. These tools will help future CPID researchers conduct public outreach to better understand how the design of future transit shelters can best serve the needs of the community.
41
Our team arrived at three techniques of engagement: A mobile roaming table as a space for these engagement activities, a coloring book that neighborhood residents can fill out with their input, and a chain-link fence intervention displaying residents’ input to the rest of the community.
