INTERSECTIONSIn this semester long group project the goal was to develop an architectural project to its full completion. Starting with schematic design our group developed multiple iterations of our project. We then moved into design development to broaden the scope of our project to include beginnings of a construction document set.
Within my group, our motivation was to use the idea of intersections as a device that would govern our design. Here, intersections were not just two colliding things, instead we looked at different strategies of what an intersection could consist of. They could be that of an interior/exterior, cultural, social, structural, or programmatic relationship. Within the design development stage we established HVAC systems, structural systems, ideas on sustainability, and a loose definition on the codes of the city.
Located at 600 Goodale in downtown Columbus the site ran along the Olentangy river. Our client was to be focused on the mindset of the ‘Yogi’. Focusing on nature, open views, high amounts of light, and a large interior/exterior relationship, the site was perfect in almost every aspect.

Within the project itself our group of three each touched upon every aspect of the design. We collaborated as a team and made decisions that would empower our idea and create a better understanding of what an intersection could become. In one aspect the intersection becames a central node where all of the amenities of the ‘Yogis’ would be located. The intersections also acted as central hubs that could relocate the guest based on a series of material studies on the interior and exterior. All though we all touched on various parts of the design process we each had larger roles in certain aspects. I myself was in charge of creating all the plans, sections, and physical models while also overseeing general layout of presentation boards. My other group members focused more on the renderings, sustainability, and detailing.

2012 first year graduate - fall | artist + technology expoProfessor: Stephen Turk
EXPO 2012This project was introduced as an expo that would highlight both an artist pavilion and a technology pavilion. The technology pavilion would explore the ideas of an emerging technology of our choice.
In my project, I focused on the emerging technology of collective touch screens and how in my mind they could produce a larger, more collective digital art. This opposed the historical and more traditional singular art. The project strove to further introduce the students to create forms that are highly influenced from the body, in this case to incorporate a larger amount of human traffic.
I looked at precedents such as OMA’s McCormick Tribune Center, OMA’s Casa da Musica, Stan Allen’s Maribor, and R&Sie(n)’s Dusty Relief. These precedents allowed for the placement of program to become the form that I envisioned for the movement of my technology. With my concept, focusing around the idea of the emergent collective digital art, I strove to create many iconic forms that would establish movement that linked back to full idea of what the technology could achieve.

Using an idea of convergence the visitor would start at the site boundaries and then funnel into the optical tubes towards the “Black Box” artist pavilion. Within this space I used lighting from the above skylights to guide the visitors towards the next location--the technology pavilion. The pathways towards the technology pavilion would start out small and would get larger as they went along reinforcing an emerging art form. Once reaching the end of these various pathways the visitor can look back from where they came and will see earth covering the artist pavilion. I used this imagery to show a sense of disappearing within the singular act of art forms that are shown within the artist pavilion. The structure of the technology pavilion begins to become aggregated and stems from the original shape of the artist pavilion, thus, enforcing the idea of the emergence.

The Packaged Mat was an exciting project that I felt helped me expand many of the drawing and model techniques that I have previously learned. The studio began as a quick research based studio that originated by developing common architectural cliches into something that they wouldn’t ever become. I looked at packaging as a common cliche and used it to emphasize the idea of a frame.
After the research we were introduced to the design problem of the mat building. This mat building was to have three office types and a few extra programs as well, but was meant to be able to expand indefinitely. The twist was that the three office types were suppose to be offices for the famous offices of CIAM, Team X, and IAUS. I began strategies for each office that would coexist with the earlier research of packaging. Each office became a different stage of the package, but the idea of the package was always pushed to the limit. This caused a ambiguous role of what was a package and what was not. After various stages of development, the studio was assigned the site of Roosevelt Island in New York where the project began to expand and package into the surrounding context.

2014 third year graduate - fall | US EmbassyProfessor: Ashley Schafer
THE WALLThe Wall was a very interesting project for me. It started with a trip to Venice Italy where me and my fellow classmates went for a week long trip. On this trip, we not only visited the city, but also took a day long trip to visit our site in Ljubljana Slovenia. On the historical site, that has gone through many programs, we were asked to design an embassy that would suit the modern times.
Being a research studio, I first began looking at precedents that would help me envision my embassy. I focused on both of the Saarenin embassies in Oslo and London. Similarly built, the two embassies each focused on its intimidation aspects as well as its approach through thresholds. These themes made me focus on the idea of the wall and how one can begin to delaminate and create a sense of surveillance through different delamination types.
Throughout my design there is a repeated taxonomy of wall types each with their own function and property. The main wall is solid in appearance, acting as the exterior wall it develops the overall strategy of surveillance. Delaminating from this wall are other types that all begin to develop and redesign the program within.

Orange Township Community CenterFirm: Meyers + Associates Architecture
Completed: Summer 2014 | 8 weeks
COMMUNITYIn my second summer internship with Meyers + Associates Architecture I was brought onto a very exciting project of a proposed community center. The community center was to be located outside of Columbus in the near by county of Orange Township. In a very rapid paced eight weeks a coworker and I project developed many different schemes, models, drawings, and presentations for the community. For the final community presentation I created a physical model using 3D printers, laser cutters, and woodworking techniques. Along with this model I drafted the two floor plans and helped finish out the renders that were to be shown.
The building is designed to take advantage of the open pastoral site with a backdrop of thick mature trees. The open, spacious interior, dominant features of the exterior facade, and main entry areas enhance the welcoming nature of the center. Within the interior there are various branches of program including: basketball courts, cardio and strength training exercise, two pools, multiple group exercise areas, two multipurpose rooms, a kids play area, and lockers. All of this made the schemes fun and exciting in terms of the layout and movement throughout the space.

Award/Presentation ModelFirm: Meyers + Associates Architecture
Completed: Summer 2013 | 3 weeks
HIGHLANDS PARKHere during my summer internship with Meyers + Associates Architecture in Columbus I was assigned to produce a highly complex award presentation model on one of their most esteemed and successful projects. Using both sketchup and AutoCAD I was able to produce a series of 3D printed forms that acted as a structural frame for the rest of the model.
Knowing that the original project focused on ideas of sustainability I wanted to highlight those aspects within the model by incorporating various materials to emphasize the important details of the project. The materials used in this project consisted of: 3D printed plastic, various thicknesses of basswood, plywood, museum board, acrylic, natural materials, and spray air-brushed paint.
With the use of the materials the model becomes both an abstract as well as a representation of the actual building. It reinforces similar techniques to the original motif and demonstrates a new vision on the ability of the exterior conditions onto the site itself.

The real Highlands Park, situated just outside of Columbus, acts as a destination for play. Using features such as water slides, pools, and several other recreational areas. In the model, I took it upon myself to adapt the general outlook and those features to look in resemblance of play. This
was shown through different materials, techniques, and methods of construction. Be that through connections to the real or abstractions to demonstrate the ideal, the model began to highly represent
the ideas that governed the design.

Schematic DesignFirm: Meyers + Associates Architecture
Completed: Summer 2013/Summer 2014 | 3 weeks
POWELLBased in Powell, outside of Columbus, a fellow intern and I were assigned the task of the beginning stages of the schematic design process. We began by first drafting the existing conditions of the old victorian house located upon the site. From there we drafted mock elevations that would eventually become a series of sketchup models and renderings. Through the development we were continually challenged and were able to work together to create multiple versions of design packets for client meetings and a further development of the design. Later within the project I was asked to start the beginnings of what would become the construction document set.
Within the project there is a large range of program with the incorporation of offices within the victorian house, two retail buildings, five residential structures, and three garages. My task within the design was to focus on the two retail buildings towards the front of the site. I was to maintain a visual style that could match that of the house while also creating a contemporary curb appeal that would bring both shoppers and residents to the area.
