focusEver since I was kid I had a fascination with objects. I would amuse myself with everyday things I could get my hands on them for a while, and I would always get the desire to take them apart just to find out how they worked on the inside. That curiosity to figure out how the world functions is what helped guide my decision to attend architecture school. While there I was instilled with the idea that design is an investigation, an endless experiment to find that one solution out of infinite possibilities that best meets all of the needs and desires of the problem at hand. To create anything that fits into the world around us, designers must address a multitude of ever-growing issues and complexities. For that reason, at the base of all good design lie vital and inventive problem-solving and the creation of meaningful relationships.

While designing, I find the most satisfaction while working with my hands. As an emerging professional I aim to live up to the title of “master builder” and further the connection between the designer and the maker. We are fortunate to be in a time with a vast array of technology to help along the design process, but I believe it is still imperative to recognize that the most valuable tools are our own hands and minds. The full understanding of how an object fits into the real world can easily get lost when it exists solely on a computer screen, but great insight and possibilities arise when we work in the physical world. If we match the tools at our disposal harmoniously, we can forge a stronger link between the technology and the craftsman to take ideas and raw material and produce greater value where there once was none.

I draw my inspiration from the world around me. By examining it and the people in it, I look at how we have come to rely on what we have built around us, and find ways to shape it. From museums to airports, the houses we live in to the chairs we sit in, people can be inspired by the spaces they inhabit and the objects they use; and it is my belief that the architect and designer play a huge role in affecting how it all works.

“I didn’t get into design to be an artist. To me, an artist creates things to evoke emotion. Being a designer goes a step further than that, not only trying to evoke emotion but trying

to make a reaction. It is very objective-driven, and that’s what makes it interesting.”-Mike Davidson

MuSeuM ModelSbuilding and section model

ProjectThe goal was to design a new museum gallery to house a collection of Mark Rothko paintings within the existing context of the Menil Museum and the Cy Twombly Galllery, both designed by Renzo Piano in Houston, TX.

GallerieS The paintings’ exhibition spaces are elevated off the ground and are designed so that the artist’s abstract “multiform” paintings can be seen in a variety of backdrops to give context to the artist’s carefully crafted color block paintings. Depending on the vantage point, the viewer is able to see the paintings with controlled views of nature, the neighboring museums, or in an intimate experience 18 inches away from the painting as the artist intended.

MuSeuM coMPlex The gallery’s position on the site is intended to create a relationship to the existing museums and form a comprehensive experience for the museum patrons within the neighborhood.

dynaMic tranSit StoP ProPoSalfun, food, + a free ride

Project BriefNextStopDesign.com hosted a web-based competition to solicit user submitted proposals for a bus stop design for the Univeristy of Utah’s campus.

Street node ProPoSalAt the new University of Utah Transit stop, commuters no longer have to sit staring off into space as they wait for the next bus to come by. New amenities such as GPS trackers that offer real-time arrival data and an attached convenience shop which offers coffee, snacks, soda pop, and delicious cookies, make the wait a little more bearable. Its central location is also key to the convenience of this bus stop. Located adjacent to the University’s visitor parking, it is aligned with a major thorough fare and is a central node in the pedestrian linkage between the light rail stop to the southeast and the University quad to the northwest. This also makes it a prime spot for being more than a bus stop. Students and faculty can use this to pick up their cup(s) of coffee or other refreshments between classes as well as congregate with other peers in the sitting area. The building’s 24’ tower acts as a beacon from afar to draw users in

food, fun + a free rideAttached to the bus stop is a small 150 sq. ft. snack shop. It is intended to give the convenience of a vending machine but the personal interaction of a café. The snack shop is large enough to accommodate a coffee shop, snacks, and cold drinks, as well as delicious baked goods.

The benefit of having an attached for-profit retail space has many layers. I was most interested in solving two problems that plague many bus stops: security and cleanliness. The first solution was the added eyes at the bus stop to provide a sense of security to the commuters. This would allow for more people to feel comfortable taking the bus who may have been uneasy about it prior. The second is the retail shop’s stake in the appearance and upkeep of the bus stop. Since it is a part of the retailer’s image, it would be a part of their responsibility to maintain the area.

15th + arch hotel Studio Project | Philadelphia, PA

Beacon of a SenSe of Placeview from Love Park Plaza

ProjectThe 15th + Arch Hotel is a 200 room boutique hotel in the heart of Philadelphia at the corner of 15th Street and Arch Street. Because of its convenient location near the major convention centers of Philadelphia, the hotel needs to call out its presence and identity for weary travelers as a place they can temporarily call “home”. The hotel’s rooms tower, with its unique sun screen, gives the hotel a distinctive presence in the Philly skyline in an area known for unique building forms (i.e. Comcast Center). The hotel’s main entry faces JFK Plaza with its iconic Love sculpture and offers a view to the beautiful and historic Philadelphia City Hall. The building also has boutique retail space and a restaurant that caters to the street’s and park’s activity. At night, the internally lit hotel tower offers the city a unique beacon next to one of its most famous parks.

MuSeuM context Modelfoot of the williamsburg bridge in lower east side

Project BriefIn 2010, suckerPunch.com hosted an open international architectural design competition to collect ideas for a new, larger home for the New York based Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art [MoCCA]. The existing museum was established in 2001 and is currently located in the SoHo district of Manhattan. The museum’s mission is to collect, preserve, educate, and display cartoon and comic art. With this design competition, the museum wishes to achieve its goal to educate the public about comic and cartoon art, how it is crafted, and how it reflects history and the time in which it was created in.

The site for the proposal is located at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in what has been a surface parking lot for the past 40 years.

Project ProPoSalThe new museum’s form takes advantage of a highly trafficked area by showcasing its contents to passers-by. The building’s east facade, which faces the bridge, is conceived of as a large comic

frame that encapsulates the action within the museum for the viewing pleasure of the public outside. Like the way a cartoonist crafts environments to enhance the experience for the reader, the interior does the same by having open and flexible exhibit spaces that can be manipulated as desired. Exhibits can be altered by size and layout, light and color, and by way of access to video displays, all intended to create a space that gives the viewers a better relationship to the varied types of comic and cartoon art.

“With great power there must also come ... great responsibility!”

ProGraM arranGeMentThe program was analyzed and grouped in ways to make the most out of the museum and match its mission to educate. The spatial groups were arranged into separate programmatic volumes accordingly. The exhibit spaces were placed throughout the large block to ensure fluid circulation for normal exhibit attendees. The taller tower volume was filled with the educational portion of the program. This operational difference creates a physical distinction between the two main program functions while still keeping a relationship to the art displayed and the history behind how it’s made and why it’s important.

concePt diaGraMsite’s relationship between city, bayou, and interstate

ProjectThe project is intended to bring a building typology, the bathhouse, that isn’t commonly found in the U.S. to an urban city. Located just north of the heart of Houston’s downtown district, along the Buffalo Bayou, the bathhouse exists as an oasis for retreat and therapy for the modern urban dweller.

deSiGn aPProacHThe introduction of the bathhouse into an urban context aims to make the inhabitants aware of nature within the “concrete jungle” of the city and recognize both the physical and psychological therapeutic qualities of water. The idea is to break up the typical

over-worked, over-stressed lifestyle with a series of carefully controlled interior atmospheres that range from quiet, solemn spaces that encourage internal reflection to spaces that push the limits of endurance of the human body.

Since the program is water-centric and the site chosen lies at the boundary between the city and its waterways, the concept here juxtaposes the relationship between wet and dry. The building itself is the threshold between these two conditions of wet and dry and plays upon the awareness humans have to the natural processes of water , which are often seen as a nuisance within most buildings.



BuildinG forM Generation diaGraMsequence of form and forces

BuildinG Modelbuilding set in site along river

1. the existing site and water’s edge defined by a gabion wall. it is the barrier between wet and dry.

2. the wall is deflected into the site. bringing the water towards the city and arranging the program along the water’s edge.

3. the wall becomes a thickness so it maybe be occupied. the wall is now the building and exist at the very threshold between land and water.

4. the city is then pulled back towards to water to link the disconnected city to the water’s edge.

forMal concePtionThe buildings form was heavily influenced by the concept that the building itself acts as the threshold between wet and dry. Within our cities, it is rare to see this boundary of the water’s edge left “natural”. In order for us to have control of the waterway systems we always find a way to engineer this condition so that it behaves predictably. This could be accomplished in a number of ways: concrete ditches, underground piping, or constructed retaining walls like the rock-filled gabion walls found at the edge of this site. This gabion wall is what is exploited to generate the form and material makeup of the building.

The wall becomes the building. The wall is pushed into the site to create a courtyard-like space around the large Olympic sized swimming pool at the center. The wall is then thickened to become occupied by the separate bath spaces and the other building program. The wall is clad with a rock filled gabion skin to keep a continuity between the building and the continuous wall that lines the Buffalo Bayou.

The wall is then no longer just a conceptual threshold between the water and the dry earth, but also the threshold between the city and the therapeutic escape from hectic city-life for the building’s users. After check-in, the users descend into the lower levels of the building and go threw a symbolic cleansing before arriving and the interior bath spaces. The Laconicum, Tepidarium, Caldarium, and the Frigidarium are arranged within the space of the wall so the users have free reign to choose what bath they wish to experience.

BuildinG SkinAn exterior gabion rock wall skin was chosen to clad the building. This not only creates continuity between the building and the existing water’s edge treatment, but also creates a conceptual filter between the inside and the outside. A glass enclosure was designed to seal the building thermally while a layer of rock within steel mesh cages was applied to the outer part of the wall. From the inside users experience a limited view of the outside world; encouraging internal reflection. The enclosure also creates a dappled light effect that applies a visual texture to the interior spaces and changes as the day progresses.

ProjectThe award winning Office of Community Design and Development at LSU sent a small group of architecture and landscape architecture students to McComb, Mississippi for an urban design and planning workshop as part of a National Endowment for the Arts grant on Main Street research. For two weeks in the summer, small groups of students created reuse design solutions for existing structures in collaboration with the Main Street Program in McComb to revive the city’s downtown activity. My team was given the opportunity to be the designers for the Tylertown City Hall in Tylertown, Mississippi. We worked with the current City Hall staff and collaborated with the county’s development coordinator on a daily basis to design a new space to fit the needs of the city. Our site was an abandoned hotel in the downtown area that has been modified from its original structure for ad hoc retail space on Tylertown’s main thoroughfare. As part of the project we conducted building and site surveys, completed schematic plans, completed final design drawings, and composed multiple presentation renderings for the new building with the goal of restoring the structure back to its historic prominence on the city’s main street. Our work was presented to the client and displayed for public viewing in downtown McComb and Tylertown, Mississippi.

new additionSIn order for the building to meet current building codes, an addition needs to be constructed on the backside of the building. The new addition contains the requisite elevator, meets new restroom requirements, and houses a fire proof vault that is needed to store the city’s records. The design of this new feature is sensitive to the original building’s stylings while still fitting in with contemporary elements. With the primary parking moved to the rear of the building, this addition has an opportunity to address users as a second main entrance. The glass entry creates openness and encourages citizens to be a part of local government.

Project and roleI functioned as Project Leader in a partnership between the Office of Community Design and Development and the Center of Planning Excellence that worked with local Baton Rouge building owners on facade renovation grants. I collaborated with the building’s owner, consulted with contractors, and worked within the Center for Planning Excellence’s guidelines to generate facade design possibilities and create a schematic presentation set for the owner to use in acquiring grant money for restorations.

The Paradizyo Building was once a corner store and lounge, but had since been neglected. The owner now wishes to convert the building into a restaurant with small rental spaces on the upper floors. This change in function required a change in how the building’s openings address the street. With a limited budget, the focus was to open up the main entry of the restaurant with the adoption of a glass storefront system under a new flat awning that draws attention to the building’s unique shape and its placement on the corner of the street.

coMPetition BriefTex-Fab is a digital fabrication website that encourages learning and experimentation of new fabrication techniques with the aid of new technologies. They host a competition to draw user submitted designs that further push the possibilities of digital fabrication. The REPEAT competition asked users to explore the idea of how a single component or connection can be replicated to create an overall system and how that can allow for variation and change.

rePeat coMPetition ProPoSalThe approach taken was derived from a personal fascination I have with a particular building material - the steel cable. The greatness of cable is its high structural capacity with the little amount of material required when used in a tensile structure. One of the drawbacks of cable tensile systems is the requirement that the cable needs to remain continuous to have full structural integrity. This characteristic restricts the ease of varying the system for different needs. After examining the problem I came up with a possible solution. Cable Nodes is one answer to the challenge of attaching and varying different elements onto a cable substructure. Cable Nodes are what allow connection points onto a tensile cable system and can hold a myriad of objects, such as panels which is what was explored for this competition.

The cam is left in the OPEN position when the node is installed or when it is being moved along the cable. This allows it to slide freely along the cable.

Once the desired position is found the CAM can be turned with a simple 5/32” allen wrench that can be easily acquired for installation.

To create a static connection along the cable the CAM is turned 90* applying the maximum force within the component causing it to KINK.

cable nodeS connectionCompetition | Tex-Fab REPEAT Connection Design

faBrication and functionA unit of the Cable Node is comprised of three main elements. A two piece body sandwiches a locking cam and connection points to accommodate the interlinking hardware. The body and the cam are made up of high strength ABS plastic that is injection molded and cemented together into a self-contained unit. This unit is designed so that when the locked cam is ratcheted into place, the cable is kinked within the body in order to create a static connection point along the cable substrate system. The connection hardware can be varied in order to provide the best link between the cables and the various attached elements.


linear clockIndependent | Experimental Speculative Product

The Linear Clock is an original creation to question how time is seen in contemporary times. Instead of a traditional round cyclical clock, the Linear Clock tracks time in a linear fashion by having the hours of the clock arranged vertically where a “clock hand” is on a vertical belt track that highlights the hour of the day. The concept is derived from how people see the day as something that they are counting down until it’s over, so as the day goes on the needle gets lower and lower similar to that of an hourglass. The position of the hand can be quickly read as to how much time is left. Although we have conventionally read the circular clock in this way by understand that the day is over when both hands are pointing straight up, this clock clearly expresses that the day is over once the “clock hand” reaches the bottom.

deSiGn ProceSSThe LSU School of Architecture hosted a internal design competition in the form of a design charrette to come up with possible solutions to a seating need in the school’s lobby. The only request was to provide a seating solution as well as a place to store books.

The solution chosen by our group was one that allowed for communal seating as well as individual seating. Inspiration was drawn from the idea of how puzzle pieces fit together; disparate pieces that make up a singular whole. Foam blocks were carved and shaped so whether they were joined into a singular bench or separated into individual stools they would conform to the human body. Slots were then booleaned out of these blocks to house the books that people wished to share with their peers. This idea was conceived from the need to have a place where design students can come together to discuss ideas as well as have a place for them to contemplate by themselves.

deSiGned to SuitAs an aspiring designer, I am often tasked by friends and family to test my talents and provide a solution for their needs and desires. I am also plagued with my own personal need to create objects that can be used and appreciated. I have learned a lot of design principles from my studies of architecture and realized not long after beginning this endeavor that those same principles of space, form, order, function, and materiality can be applied to all objects that we interact with on a daily basis. This understanding has accelerated my desire for object making. Humans have always had a connection to objects. We establish emotional and sentimental relationships with some of the objects around us and even rely upon some of them for survival and convenience. It is my goal in life to create some of these objects that people find beautiful and hold dear to themselves.

So when I was asked to conceive of a furniture collection for my friend’s new loft apartment, I didn’t approach the task lightly. I examined the space that needed to be filled, I understood what types of functions she needed to suit, I tested materials that she found best matched her personality and how it felt against her skin, I found out how firm she prefers her couch to be, and also met her desire to have something that had clean lines and was easy to clean.

After I went through a few iterations on my own, I presented her with a drawing of how it might look. I was pleased to find out that she loved the designs. Even though she may have given me some leeway because I am still an amateur designer, but that joy that I got from seeing the look on her face when she saw what I created for her, solidified the idea that I chose the right profession - making the instruments for living that people use.
