Montgomery, Alabama5
SITE: Montgomery, AL- 48,000 sq ft
The thesis began as a group project to bring people back and revitalize the blighted and unused downtown area of Montgomery, Alabama. Montgomery is built on two different city grids
which intersect through the center of the city. Where these grids meet, a edge or seam condition of awkward, unused triagular spaces is created. Five sites were chosen along this border of the
two city grids to activate these areas architecturally and create public space in the triangular areas.
The fifth site was chosen because it is located at the main intersection of pedestrian and traffic movement of 5 city streets. It is the main focal point of this intersection. A Legal Library and
public space were the perfect programmatic elements to activate this site. It is located in a primarily government district and directly across from the Montgomery Federal Couthouse, which is
without the use of resources in close proximity. The building and public space serve as both a resource and a destination for the workers of the area and citizens of the city.
There are many driving forces that sculpt the design of this project, such as the idea of a contained library room within a larger light filled room. Physical and sensual connections between
programmatic elements, surroundings, outside space, and inside space are also very important. Techniques in the use and suppression of natural light become crucial in defining the interior
space, as well as the exterior form.

The intial concept of the legal library was based on the idea of a gem within a box, or a room within a room: the inverse of a typical library with a central atrium. The library space itself was designed with the idea of a large tower of books inside a larger light-filled grand atrium space. The book stacks and studying areas would be contained inside this tower, and the larger open room would be used for reading areas and public space. Reading areas and mezzanines would extend out into this open space. The service areas, study rooms, and offices of the library are located around this to access the alley behind as well as the library space inside.

PRISMACOLOR SCUMBLE RENDERING
In order to span the distance across the large atrium space, large structual members were designed, beginning with large columns lined across the front facade and back of atrium. These supported mammoth sized beams stretched legth-wise across the space to support the roof, lined with sky lights. The primary vertical circulation also became an individual piece within the large open space to connect each level of the book tower and service spaces. Because the facade would be primarily glazed (to the west), new ideas arose on how to shade this yet also allow visual connections to and from the outside green space.

WATERCOLOR FACADE
A undulating system of trusses and glazing was designed to run between the large columns and beams. Louver systems were also designed to shade the facade from any direct sunlight, yet allow visibility to and from the interior of the building. The facade changed to a three layered system comprised of a glass curtain wall, large structural members, and sun shading trusses.

The sun shading devices were designed to undulate at certain variations due to the program behind them. In places where more light or views were needed, the shades would open up, and vice versa. The main structure (large columns and beams) was also organized due to the programatic elements it contained. These large beams then supported a cantilevered roof system to cover the entire building. A connection was made from the basement level to the green space as an alternate route to and from the building. The design of the green space itself was based on existing reference lines and needed elements to better serve the library and city area where it is located.

“Laughter is the best medicine.” - Proverb
The design of a hospital should focus around the WELL-BEING and HEALING PROCESS of the patients. Therefore, the form and function of a children’s hospital must be child- oriented. It should
relate to the happiness of the children and the atmosphere they are used to. The rounded forms and subtle curves expressed within the building provide a stark contrast to the harsh edges and
sterile appearance of a typical hospital perception. A friendly color scheme also distinguishes the building as a more child-friendly environment. The playful facade and interior spaces are
created to be more INVITING and INTRIGUING to which children can relate. The vertical nature and regulating lines of the facade also allows the hospital to blend in with the surrounding URBAN
CONTEXT of the Chicago skyline.
The rounded forms maximize the EFFICIENCY of the space by creating more surface area for exterior-facing patient rooms with centrally located nurses stations. Natural light is able to
penetrate into each room, as well as into family areas between each quadrant. Large open public space, play areas, and outdoor garden areas are very plentiful and accessable through patient
floors and lobby areas which contributes to the COMFORT and activity of the patients. Children are able to feel at home AND get the adequate care they require.

Preliminary Sketch
SITE: Mobile, Alabama- Reuse of existing downtown Lot into Sustainable Public Park
The Mobile Green Street Park was designed as an outdoor sustainable project for the use of the public in downtown Mobile, Alabama. Water is collected off of the surounding rooftops and
stored in visible cisterns that serve as the visible entrances to the park. Water that is collected feeds interactive water features such as a water wall, stair-stepping channels, and acoustic
barrier. The ground area, located slightly above the sidewalk level, is paved with permeable stone pavers and turf to allow seapage into collection areas beneath. The acoustic barrier seves
as a threshold between the busy street and the quiet park, with the sound of running water underneath as one walks through. Natural trumpet vine on the side walls and existing oak were
left in park. Movable chairs and tables are also prevalent throughout the space for the public to relax, listen to performances on adjacent stage, and use the bar area located in the back of the
park. Walls are used as display spaces for artwork and other activities. Services such as public restrooms, pumping areas, and trashcan storage are also provided.

SITE: Rome, Italy- 200,000 sq ft
While studying in Rome, the Re-Ligare Institute project was based around the idea of a modern-day Roman bath. The site is located along a very busy street coming from the Colosseum, and across from an ancient Roman wall. The form of the building mimics the adjacent Roman wall to create SEPARATION from the sound and busyness of the street, creating a more green and PEDESTRIAN friendly area behind for the public.The building is also an URBAN CONNECTION, used as a “stepping stone”. Pedestrian traffic at the street level is able to move up a public ramp around the core and exterior of the building to access a park located at a higher level across the street. The Institute itself is PRIVATE with the idea of offering peace and SERENITY behind a quiet and sheltering wall. RE-VITALIZATION of MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT are three main attributes. Large classrooms, a lecture hall, and an organic restaurant are used for learning and socializing. Meditation rooms, music rooms, and various meditative gardens are used to establish peace. Saunas, spas, water plunges, a gym, and a dance room offer revitalization of the body, like previous Roman baths.

SITE: Newbern, Alabama- Sustainable campus kitchen and farm master plan
The Rural Studio is a satellite campus of Auburn University’s School of Architecture in Newbern, Hale County, Alabama. Students live and work in this rural environment, designing and building sustainable houses and community projects for the underprivileged residents of the area. This project was part of a phased expansion of the Rural Studio campus. In an effort for the Rural Studio to become more sustainable in the students designs and lives, a plan was developed for the studio to both grow and cook its own food. The kitchen was built as an expansion to the existing headquarters of the Rural Studio. Designed to code as a comercial kitchen, many sustainable strategies, such as day-lighting and passive air flow were used. Areas for cleaning, prep work, cooking, and serving were all proportioned within the space. A full-time chef would cook for all the 30+ students and faculty. The kitchen was both student-designed, and student built.The kitchen was positioned to function with a farming master plan on the campus, as well. Students would grow, tend to, and cook their own food while working at the Rural Studio. Various types of vegetables, fruits, and livestock are now growing and living at the Rural Studio to support the students there.

SITE: Montgomery, Alabama- 200,000 sq ft
The site’s direct connections to the existing Montgomery Riverwalk and Alabama River were taken into consideration when designing the Montgomery Natural History Center.The design is based around ORGANIC architecture. Relationships to the flowing and natural movement of the site form the distinguished PRESENCE of the building along the river. Wood structure is used throughout. Architectural glue-laminated beams are used to create the subtle curves and express the natural value and manipulation of wood. Concepts from existing Riverwalk structures were also used in the design to relate to the context.Shell-like roofs cover large, OPEN gallery spaces that face the south. Light is able to penetrate into these spaces under and between each roof, as well as through a large mezzanine. Classrooms, meeting rooms, an auditorium, and a cafe are also incorporated into theprogram and follow the form.

SITE: Auburn, Alabama- 4500 sq ft
The design of the Lakefront Residence was based on the CONTOUR lines of the site. PRIVATE areas are on the outside of the residence and contain spaces, such as bedrooms and the carport. More OPEN spaces, such as the kitchen, living room, study, and atrium spaces are situated towards the center of the house and are glazed to let in light.The series of roofs, covering each section of the building, are influenced by the sloping of the site and TERRACE down on top of each other. Each roof plane distinguishes a different area within the residence.

SITE: Opelika, Alabama- Multi-Use Bookstore and Residential Facade Project
The 8th Street Bookstore facade was based on the idea of a PRISM. In every bookstore, a great amount of LIGHT is required. The exterior glazing, structure, and awnings are designed as indi-
vidual prisms to refract light throughout the building. Each triangular prism on the street level is a type of showcase in which books can be stacked and viewed from the sidewalk. The facade
continues up to the residence and balcony on the third floor, but in a more concealed and private manner.
During the day, prisms on the exterior are meant to allow light inside. However, at night, the book store is illuminated to emphasize the use and refraction of light, as well as the “bright”
benefits of reading.
