The aim of this studio project is to design a housing and
academic building for students, for a site in downtown
Clemson. Morphological analyses of Boston, MA’s
growth over time served as a conceptual model for the
forms of the building’s entry and atrium.

This group project (2 people) required analyses and redesign
of construction processes for Ando’s Nakamura House,
keeping the original form but switching from cast in place to
precast concrete fabrication. One additional element was the
incorporation of a non-euclidian form into the design.

11. Second group project
(4 people) involved
experimentation with
tesselations in 2 and 3
dimensions. First a single-
shape tesselation, then
one utilizing 2 shapes,
and ultimately a gradually
morphing sequence and a
tesselated wall treatment.

shaped tesselations, final

12. From analyses of Norman Foster’s Stansted Airport in
London, I arrived at a morphological source of a regular
octahedron, which I broke down into a quarter pyramid as the
smallest repeatable unit that could build this octahedron. This
shape was applied to the design of a chapel and companion
memorial wall. My concept led me to frame views of the
surrounding greenspace, and also views from the context of
sunrises and sunsets, especially on the summer and winter
solstices. Use of precast concrete was required.

16. My focus for this project is to accommodate a central node in the Six Mile community. The
library should posess a flexibility allowing a large variability in gatherings or group meetings
in addition to individual study. My design attempts to achieve this via an open and accesible
presentation towards local pedestrian traffic as well as a strong connection to the site and a
feel of interior openness with an un-polished aesthetic.

20. During this summer internship our most important project was the development of designs for alterations and additions to outdoor
play structures at the Atlanta Outdoor Activity Center. Our team collaborated with community members, landscape architects
of Perez Designs and Kaizen Collaborative, as well as other consultants to develop concepts. We also drafted site analyses,
conceptual plans and perspective renderings for board meetings and presentations to community members.

In my leisure time I enjoy experimenting in various mediums
including most prominently pencil, pen and marker.
