Collaborative Projects
While studying at the University of Maryland, College Park, I exposed myself to realistic projects that warranted leadership and
team building opportunities alongside individuals with independent thinking.

Urban design
Centreville, MD.
The urban intervention design in Centreville, MD was a team
collaborative project with Ahmed Zaman, Samantha Powell,
Melissa Mandelbaum, and Veronica Silva. The design intention
was to revive the central heart of Centreville by revitalizing
the central plaza of the town, while redefi ning the urban grid
to make streets walkable and well-connected with diff erent
building types and housing options.

A livable community affects, adapts to, and interacts with the environment. As it grows and develops it recognizes the formation of a community. It is responsive and proactive with the anticipation of growth that is critical to the success of neighborhood development.
West Hyattsville, Maryland is a site that offers diverse living options for a low-income minority population. A dense network of public bus routes and nearby access to the Washington DC Metro makes this location prime for community development.

The AIAS Livable Communities competition entry intends to adapt and interact with West
Hyattsville, MD through a sustainable approach. It is responsive and proactive to the growth
of the city through creating accessibility for an aging population. This collaborative entry was
coordinated by Ahmed Zaman and Veronica Silva.

The affect on ecology is minimized through sustainable practices. The apartment building in Phase I is designed for maximum light entry and cross-ventilation. Maximum solar gain is achieved through increased southern exposure for winter months, while the terraces and green roof cool temperatures during the summer. The envelope utilizes premium insulation and local brick provided by the Potomac Valley Brick
Phase I introduces a mixed use building typology that utilizes ADA accessibility by providing safe access to parking and adjacent amenities. All individuals despite age, ability, or status can be completely independent. Affordable housing options allow seniors to live in a conventional housing

At the urban scale, the ground level of retail activates Hamilton Street, transforming it from an automobile dominated speedway into a livable destination to share with others. The project is designed to react to the changing needs of the community. Each residential

Each unit is ADA compliant through an open plan that provides ease in movement and vantage points to the green spaces that look out to

structural design. The intention of the design was to creat a tribute to the main
gallery space; mirror imaging of the stariways provided the opportunity through
innovatd structural design of the trusses, enhancing the promenade and circulation
of the building.
The following project was completed in a collaboration with fel-
low student Ahmed Zaman. We created a functional but spa-
cious Art Education Center for University Park through creative Section 1
Structural Design
A careful calculation of a force polygon will provide
valuable information required to succefully produce
a truss. In this example an interior truss has been
calculated to withstand the maximum design forces.
This truss connection is depicted in the roof section
detail.

The comprehensive study of structural design and construction is a critical knowledge applied
in any architectural design. Through technical classes I studied structures, their function,
components, and how they work together. The result is a creative, functional, and unique
architectural space that is structurally sound. By Veronica Silva & Melissa Mandelbaum.
