After the truth was realized about

the sacrifice that the lone ranger gave to

the great city of New York, they rallied

together to memorialize his broken ar-

mor. The people in charge of rebuilding

and stabilizing the structure thought it

best to fill the space with something wor-

thy for this mysterious hero. A kunsthal,

open to the public to remind everyone

of the freedom he gave the city that day

seemed like a deserving charge for the

space. But it is much more than just an

open gallery space, it offers services to

the public like art classes, fine dining,

and encompasses all the arts including

music and drama. Its spaces serve to in-

spire and invigorate its occupants, while

reminding everyone of the opportunity

given to the city by the hero. The whole

building leads the visitor up to the open

auditorium where one can see the city in

all its glory and remind those that it still

stands here today because of the actions

of a hero, and hope to inspire those to

find the hero in themselves.

Circuit Serra

Circuit Serra is an exploration in tectonic and tactile architecture that both aesthetically and functionally reads to the program of the electrical automobile charging. A forensic analysis of the urban site showed a needed connection between the park and the beack. On a site which fell between both nodes, a boardwalk was designed, bisecting the site and giving interstatial awareness between both communal spaces. A harmonious public and private relationship was envisioned where vertical office space intersects horizontal communal interaction. Photovoltaic fins harness solar power, pulling the energy through the structure and into charging stations loaded on the ground level and in the slow charge garage. Excess energy is then transfered back into the city grid and used throughout Rio de Janeiro. This is a sustainable structure that reduces its own carbon footprint, while powering the city as well. This was a group project of a team of four, focused on STCenters competition. The programmatic needs for the building includes the corporate headquarters, a parking garage for slow charge, a fast charge ‘drive-thru’ area, a commerce area for the locals, and an electric car dealership. There was also a need to be aware of the surrounding community in Ipanema and what kind of building should be housed in such a rich and diverse part of town.

[Paris]ite

[Paris]ite: A Culinary Cabaret Group Project of eight peers, responding to program needs of Paris Market Lab competition by ArchMedium. Needs include classrooms, administra-tive offices and a restaurant. Our building contains a parisite surrounding the modified existing building, housing the schools supplies and the restaurants fresh produce. By day, the space encompasses students wishing to learn gastronomy, while in the evening the building alights with consumers testing and tasting the experiments of the day. As the patron rises, they experience a different course for every floor, finally arriving at the apex under the stars for dessert and libations.

A Drop of Artistry

Located at the High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, A Drop of Artistry seeks to lead its patrons into its little world between the main exhibit buildings. Housing group ticketing sales, and a locally supported, free art gallery for visi-tors, this little structure maneuvers the user straight to the ticketing area in the main building, where formerly the space was unused and untouched. The Drop persuades pedestrians to traverse within its curious dwellings of varying lev-els of height as well as relax and enjoy the little spaces within the space while making their way to the foremost museum.

Renderings & Drawings

Visualization excersize in Rhino modeling software, leading to a rendering production in photoshop. Ultimate goal for space is to create interesting voids within the building, add-ing believable structural el-ements and materials, and lastly make a section cut and render according to a certain mood one wanted

portrayed.

The Lanneau- Norwood House is in Greenville, South Caro-lina. It was built in 1877 for Charles H. Lanneau. It is a two and one-half story brick mansion. The symmetri-cal facade features a central pavilion and tower. The house serves as an outstanding example of the Second Empire Style and has had little altera-tions done to its interior or exterior.

The Shinjuku Hotel and Spa is inspired by Japan’s cultural history. Japan has adopted cultures from around the world, yet firmly maintained and strengthened their own identity. They have gracefully balanced Western influences with their own Eastern beliefs by bringing together their Zen disposition with the ever-growing demands of the modern world. It is within this history that the concept for Shinjuku was derived. The key ele-ments of Nature, Modernization, Identity, Reflection, and Balance all embodie the greatest force of all- Water. Just as Japan finds inspiration from her beautiful scenic backdrop of mountains, oceans and skies, Shinjuku also shares its’ love, appreciation and respect for the surrounding landscape. Throughout the space you will find a strong yet quiet design that keeps in mind the humility required for Wabi Sabi design. The relationship between the natural materials and the modern needs of technology is an integral aspect throughout the whole of the ho-tel. The Koi Fish and their ever changing movements in the water inspired the naturalistic curves of the walls, the reflective and metamor-phic qualities in the materials, and the bright balanced with the serene colors throughout each space. Shinjuku is filled with a great bal-ance between reflecting the colorful past and looking towards the lustrous future, keeping true to Japan’s identity and the age we live in.

NYO

Freelancing my graphic skills, via the Adobe products, has allowed me to quickly produce print-ready files for paper products of varying sizes from huge banners to business cards, as well as print-ready files for screen print-ers for t-shirts and clothing, as well as produce well- developed and eye-pleasing mock-ups of designs for critiques and decision making pro-cesses. Works have included event posters, lo-gos for teams and businesses and subsequent business cards, teasers and flyers for products.
