01 Work Experience
Summer Internship and Revit
Over the summer of 2011. I worked for Southeast Venture out of Nashville, Tennessee. As part of my job fulfillment, I developed a project in Revit, worked on schematic designs, further developed facades, coordinated meetings with a construction team, as well as other businesses, and led presentations to clients. This is a small sample of the work I completed while there. The project below and adjacent are ones I worked on this summer during my internship.

As a final short term project following the Chicago Children’s Hospital, we were asked to design a residential project. I took this opportunity to begin utilizing Revit. I created the concept through modeling and sketches, developed a floorplan in AutoCAD. I then took this into Revit, built it up, and exported it to 3DS to render.

The design of a hospital demands a correlation of both science and art. By addressing the contrast of institutional facilities and representational forms and spaces, the Chicago Children’s Hospital does just this. The initial form of the building is designed as an homage to the rigid base which healthcare demands: an urban edge and a solid, dense form relating to the city. From the plinth that grounds the building to the site, rises a centre of vitality, well-being, and burst of energy. As the patient journeys further up and into the building, he or she discovers a hierarchy of space as related to the duration of stay.

Basing the ground floor design off an existing project, the Lurie Children’s Hospital, we were asked to continue the development of the floor plan, by addressing the remainder of the hospital. The entrances are located at the north and south sides of the building, creating an axis along the east side of its base which continues until the tower of the building sprouts at the eleventh floor. The tall, light core of the hospital serves to enclose and protect patients while also providing the ventilation and daylight essential for healing.The design scheme began with conceptual models representing the growth of the hospital. Further studies were utilized after visiting the site in Chicago, such as conticrayon sketches, collages, and prismacolor drawings.
By situating the 291 in-patient rooms on top of the existing plinth, full advantage is taken of natural light. I created a series of detailed sectiondrawings in order to progressto the construction of the section model shown on the adjacent page.
To better convey the heaviness of the base of the hospital and the lightness of the patient care unit tower, I utilized plexiglass, museum board, and velum in craftinga fluorescent model. The detailed section demonstrates the curtain wall system separated from the patient rooms with a mechanical catwalk.

The hamam renovation called for a proposal of two programs within the site of a previously estab-lished Turkish bath. The programs for my project are a photography gallery/café and residential area for the owner of the gallery and his wife.To create a design scheme for the project, the two entrances were addressed and designated to their programs. Next I adopted the concept from the pre-existing Islamic, diamond-shaped molding. With this scheme in mind, I continued in the design and development of space to allot a sense of flexibility to the inhabited area.

The sliding walls serve to divide and create space among the residential portion of the building. By adjusting the walls, the kitchen, dining, service, bar, and photography room can be isolated or opened. To create versatile spaces, sliding partition wall installations serveas dividers mimicking the patterns of molding previously existing throughout the hamam.
Professor: Doug Burleson Fall Semester 2009
The lyceum represents an area of interaction and communication between students, fac-ulty, and their colleges. For this reason, the curvilinear glass walls enclose the building and foster a sense of openness within the structure itself, as well as with the surrounding grounds.

The initial form of the building began with a series of conceptual models to convey shape and movement desired. Next a series of models and floor plans alternated to lend way to the final model and set of floor plans.
A detailed drawing of the curtain wall system displays the construction of the building as related to the edges of classrooms on every floor. The glass walls provide views with Dudley Hall and the connection to campus.
The program for this project was to represent the academic colleges of Auburn University and the new main quad. The building serves to provide college spaces for gatherings, lectures, and conventions, while expressing institutional architecture.
During my semester at Rural Studio in Hale County, Alabama, I was assigned along with 16 other students to complete the design of a home for three clients, Rose Lee, BJ, and Jason Turner. The initial design and beginning of construction was taken on by the group of students the semester before us. Our assignment was to design the courtyard, analyze and complete the floor plan, and complete construction.

The most critical phase of the project was group discussions. Through these discussions, we were able to settle on a final floor plan stemming from the work the semester before us had designed. The project relied heavily on group participation, and expression of ideas and detail in these sessions.
Design work in the studio was largely a group effort. On the site, however we each had specific roles to complete construction quickly and efficiently. One role I took on with the help of a fellow student was planing, cutting and installing the floor from recycled wood donated from a local barn.

The hallway house is a residence designed for a couple with a vested interest in mid-century Scandinavian furniture. In order to accommodate their desire to use and display their collections, the upstairs hallway serves to showcase these pieces.

Dudley Entrance
Storefront Design
Wall Design
The program for this short term project was to design an addition onto the main entrance of the architecture department building, Dudley Hall. My concept was to express both form and function through a balcony cover and structural piece that extend to the sky, while also embracing and connecting the building.

The storefront facade program is based around the mixed use of a building in downtown Opelika. For the project, my design consists of a ground floor library, a second floor lounge, and a third floor residence.

The shadow box is 3”x29”x12”. The concept is to study a building similar in construction to the design I was currently developing in my own project in order to gain knowledge of its composition. The model shown is a three dimensional representation of a section of the Trutec Building in Seoul, Korea by Barkow Leibinger Firm.

Wall DesignSummer Studio
In order to understand the make-up of the building we designed, our assignment was to design and repeat a unit and therein form a wall of modular pieces in a repeating pattern. The wall creates a sense of private verses public space with small openings on the exterior expanding to larger openings on the interior of the wall.

In efforts to explore into concepts such as resulting space, form, depth, and general composition. I worked on several drafting projects and compiled a group of sketches based on studies of artists and architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Frantisek Kupka, etc.

As preparation for architectural design, we were asked to study a leaf. The initial study was a charcoal drawing on 6 foot by 1.5 foor paper. The following study was prismacolor pencils on arches paper. The artwork on the adjacent page is work I have completed apart from studio, consisting of watercolor, prismacolor, and oil on canvas.
