The works shown are a comprehensive palette of projects over the course of my education. I have had the oppor-tunity to work on several unique and challenging designs for a broad range of building types and clients. The studio environment (as shown above) has been a fun, educa-tional, and exciting interaction among fellow students and faculty. The collaboration among classmates, even in in-dividual design projects, was an opportunity to learn to interact and compete with fellow designers and be among a rich pool of design styles. Throughout the course of my education, I have learned design fundamentals and problem solving. I’ve been exposed to a broad range of design software as well as being able to use my hands in seeing these projects come to life, whether through physi-cal modeling or design build. As my growth in design has evolved, I’ve been able to take part in other educational opportunities such as structural courses, team projects, international site visits, a graphic journaling trip, archi-tectural management and fi nance courses and more that have been pivotal in giving me a comprehensive view of architecture.

Looking to help revitalize downtown Tulsa, the client is seeking a specifi c design solution for a boutique ho-tel. The client is looking to bring new life to the city with modern improvements while still respecting the historical Art Deco style of architecture. The needs and comfort of the user were considered from the very beginning of the design process. Instead of diving into this large scale project looking at the entire program, we started with the individual guest suite. The conceptual idea was that the experience of the individual guest room would ultimately give life to the hotel as a whole. Keeping in mind the wishes of the client and the city, the building was to weave into it’s surrounding architectural context and to create a sense of hierarchy without being a distraction. This was achieved by studying and pulling neighboring building lines and fl oor heights. The inter-locking motion of the façade follows the conceptual idea of weaving with the context of the city. Verticality was an important characteristic of the art deco style. Therefore, strong vertical elements were incorporated in the design, creating a frame around the weaving motion of the fa-

Located in the Wichita Wildlife Reserve, the facility offers a spa and full bath amenities. Being located in a purely natural setting, the spa allows for a unique design solution that would offer a peaceful and tran-quil experience from start to fi nish. Guests of the fa-cility are looking to get away from the fast pace of their everyday lives.
The natural environment and context aid in accom-plishing this desire, but the building itself must also successfully achieve this. This was done by using a local and natural material palette. The building form was achieved by seeking to maintain a low profi le that almost grew from the site instead of sitting atop it. Long horizontal lines respond to the contours of the earth, while the nose of the facility reaches out to the water’s edge.

Cohousing is a new communal concept that is start-ing to gain popularity internationally. Instead of single family living arrangements with disconnected neigh-borhoods, cohousing communities entail groups of people living in individual units, while sharing com-mon outdoor spaces and a community center.
The design focus was to create a community where interactions among residents are maximized. The “main street” of the facility is where the major circula-tion and grouping of spaces is located. The sustain-able arrangement of the houses was constructed in pairs, similar to a duplex, in order to minimize build-ing footprint and allow for a closer proximity to neigh-

american university of parisamerican university of parisparis, franceparis, france6 week project6 week projectfall 2011fall 2011
Located along the south bank of the seine river, the American University of Paris wanted to expand the current campus by offering more classrooms, offi ces, community areas, a library, and more. The mission statement of the University was to reach out to the world through means of technology and innovation. It was important for the design of the school to repre-sent this fundamental idea, while also responding to and respecting the classic Parisian style.
The facility responds to classic Parisian building cul-ture by the use of a central courtyard, classic verti-cal zoning, and an urban response to the affl uently diverse street life. The library was placed at the north front to be a bold symbol of education to the public. The layout of the facility is formed and cut by impor-tant points of the Parisian context.

This project offered many unique and educational oppor-tunities. Being a full semester long, we were given a full comprehensive view of the full design process of a build-ing going through the Schematic design, Design Devel-opment, and Construction Documents phases. Through the process we also took part in material research, struc-tural and mechanical analysis, as well as cost estimating and budgeting.
The client offered a design competition for an Oklahoma City homeless shelter, located just outside of downtown near I-235. A unique design solution was required for a temporary home for families who are working toward becoming independent and self-suffi cient. The program asked for three major functions of the facility: Living spac-es, a medical clinic, and spaces of necessary amenities for the needs of the guests (counselors, dining hall, rec-reation spaces, etc.)

focal space: dining roomfocal space: dining room
While going through the different design phases of the building, we were also required to pick a specifi c space in the building that had a signifi cant worth to the func-tion of the building. Within the focal space, we dove even deeper into design specifi cs and construction. This in-cluded researching and designing the material coordina-tion, detailed skin models and sections, building systems research and coordination (lighting & HVAC), a refl ected ceiling plan, and more.
The space I choose to focus on was the dining hall. Lo-cated on the ground level in the heart of the facility, it served as a central gathering space for guests as well as a key point of cross circulation throughout the building on all levels. The space could be opened up with the use of the fl exible nana walls, allowing for an abundance of natural light and cross ventilation, as well as a connector to the outdoor communal spaces.

The fi nal phase of the project was very educational and real life applicable. Through a series of lectures and specifi c presedent examples, we were able to take our fi nal design drawings and prepare them as construction ready documents. Although it was not a full set, we were able to focus on specifi c parts that included: elevations, a longitudinal building section, a wall section, building details, a partial fl oor plan, and a refl ected ceiling plan.

This project was a group effort of six team members ad-dressing urban issues and the study of interlocking forms. Located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a popular tourist cruise destination, the client requested a design solution for a new water transportation hub, as well as an aquarium that served as an educational attraction for the rich ocean wildlife. In the fi rst phase of the project, the team of six produced a masterplan for the facility. The next phase asked for the team to be divided into two teams of three to produce the two main facilities while still keeping in close communication for effective design coordination.
The two facilities shared a large common atrium entry where the functions of the buildings interlock. The overall composition sits adjacent to the water front, allowing for easy cruise ship and water taxi access, as well as creat-ing a unique experience and interaction of the aquarium to the ocean context. The aquarium is elevated off the ground to allow for smooth ground circulation, allowing guests direct interaction with views to the ocean and backdrop of Old San Juan.

This project serves as an urban renewal of an aging and disconnected urban hot spot. The client desired a design solution for a new masterplan of the San Patricio plaza. Teams of six were assembled to take part in a design com-petition that would set the stage and lay the ground rules for the development of the future site. The complicated pro-gram included offi ce, residential, hospitality, entertainment, retail, institutional, and public green space. Once a master-plan was chosen and regulations were set, the teams were divided into three person groups to take on an individual and unique project from the larger overall program.My team chose to work on the shopping mall that needed to be replaced in the masterplan. The project acted as a single, fundamental vein connecting the surrounding com-munity to one another through improved means of vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The success of the building de-sign and connection was dependent on a thorough inves-tigation of the forces that needed to be addressed. These included a stable connection to the residential area across the highway, the diffi culty and function of spanning the building across the highway, responding to the surrounding plazas, and responding to the vehicular circulation through

The projects shown are design build objectives complet-ed over the course of my education. Each allowed for a unique opportunity in seeing how a design becomes a tangible and functioning object.
Plastic bottle sculpture, fall 2011: The class as a whole teamed up to construct a piece of sculpture that used empty plastic bottles and chicken wire as the material pal-ate. The bottles are woven into the metal grid forming an organic form that shows the life of a bottle from packaging to its eventual trash can destination.
Planter design, spring 2010: This group project was a study in the use of material connections. The planter used a palate of materials that included a concrete base, metal-threaded rods, and a wooden frame. The intended use of the planter was for a vine plant to weave and interact with the composition of the planter.
Wine label design, fall 2011: This was a unique group op-portunity where we were able to use graphic design and marking as a means to portray our potential wine produc-tion business plan.
Plexiglass light box, fall 2010: This individual design proj-ect took a 3-D mass and section cut it numerous times to create a series of unique shapes. The individual shapes were placed and ordered in AutoCad then cut via the school laser cutter. The plexiglass pieces along with met-al thread rods and washers together created the composi-tion.

In the summer of 2010, the School of Architecture of-fered a graphic journaling course that gave students the opportunity to fi ne tone their sketching skills, while also learning to accurately study and document building details. The sketches shown are in order of their comple-tion. They are composed freehanded with ink pens and watercolor.
Guthrie, OK: This was a training event the class took part in during the spring 2010 semester in preparation for the trip to DC/NYC. We studied and documented the histori-cal district of downtown Guthrie, paying close attention to the architectural style and history.
Washington D.C.: This was the fi rst stop in our week long trip, consisting of three days. We had the opportunity to explore and document many historical and famous build-ings such as the national galleries of art, the Smithsonian museums, the capital building, and much more.
New York City: This was the remaining four days in our trip, as well as the most memorable. In the available time we had, we explored and journaled over nearly every part of Manhattan Island, several different museums, China-town and Little Italy, Time Square, and so much more.
Oklahoma City: After we returned from the DC/NYC trip, we had one last analysis project where we were assigned to sketch and journal an additional city of our choice. Be-ing from Oklahoma City, I decided to explore and docu-ment some of the well-known architectural features of the
