OF THE WORLD
THE USA HAS
The USA currently has the highest prison population in the world. With a 67% return rate to prisons, this number is increasing every day. My thesis focused on the Psychological Effects of the Prison Archetype, which analyzed the reasons for the high return rate and the development of mental illness through space. The site for the thesis project is Alameda, CAneighboring Oakland, one of the most dangerous cities in California. The site is an abandoned Naval Air Station and allows accessibility as well as safety. A suggested social solution to the problem is implementing the “Holland Code� within the prison system - a theory of career and vocational choices based upon personality types to allow prisoners to succeed in the outside world.

This will allow the prison system to become a support system and a new beginning for prisoners- focusing in their last stage of their prison term or short term prisoners- and will allow for a lower return rate. Ensuring a prison community, with guards as their role models, will help them reinforce social skills. The emphasis on landscape and the paths gives the prisoner adequate movement and choice of interchangeable routes alongside rehabilitating DIAGRAM sights which helps to eliminate repetition.

The concept of the project is a self interpretation of a small campus that frequently interlinks the many schools and clubs on campus. The floors between the two buildings are connected through ramps and catwalks but can also be accessed through stairs and elevators. The many level differences allow the visitor to experience many distinct view points. The building sits on the edge of the street and has an inviting canopy for its entrance.

community studio
Community studio allows h a n d s - o n contact with one of the small towns in Missouri. Students split into groups in order to evaluate problems in these small towns and write a book in the course of the semester evaluating problems and implementing suggestions through illustrations and imagery. These changes include sustainability, connectivity throughout the city and allowing Bolivar to be an active, vibrant city.

The mission of the Missouri State University’s science department is to provide a location for faculty, students and visiting scientists to conduct research & educational programs. The building is designed to cause the least amount of disturbance to the local vegetation, while maximizing space for an educational and comfortable environment. The concept plays with the words adventurous, happy & hospitable. The different views and ceiling heights show the play with the words, as well as creating an experience of changing light effects while walking through the hallways.

MODEL
By using Rhino and Grasshopper we learned techniques for fabricating models, making use of numerous methods and machinary. These explorations were made using a CNC printer, 3D printer , lazer cutter as well as a desktop printer. Methods include: stacking, using developable surfaces built with flat pieces as tabs. The sectional tool was used to create warpable paper surfaces.

This structure and 3D model is based on the gravity dome that was created through Grasshopper using a Kangaroo plugin. The waffle structure includes fin edges that slide in the lace scapholding. A skin with tabs was created to cover the structure. On the left the finished product is seen, on the right is the 3D model with the initial dome on the bottom , and the created Grasshopper definition shown on the bottom of the page.

Eco Abet is a non-profit architectural organisation that helps communities in Kansas City. For the annual 2013 charrette, projects were given to groups of students, professionals and community members. In the St. Marks cathedral group, we repurposed the basement of the cathedral to function as a youth center including its individual multi-use ramp entrance.

NIGHT SHOT
The volunteer tribute was designed and constructed in support of the Joplin Tornado that hit in 2011. The design is based on a rippling wave of four rings representing the four stages of recovery. These are: rescue, recovery, demolition and rebirth. The centerpiece mosaic for the project was my focus. The mosaic was compiled with pieces of debris collected from the broken houses in Joplin. The symbol was inspired from the surviving childen who believed they were protected by butterflies.
