AISC Steel Competition: FLUX3rd year studio design competition 2013Professor: Andrea Schwartz

Site: Canadian - American Border in Detroit MI.

Program: design a border-crossing station that is guided by principles of innovation, creativity, and functionality. Design solutions should be drivenbyculturally significant imagerybasedon theborderand thesite’s visual and literal unifying elements.

Approach: The last century for Detroit has been turbulent. In the twentieth century, the city emerged to new heights as an automotive power only then to be forsaken, falling into disrepair when industry left. This new international trade crossing serves as a monument and a reminder to the automotive super power Detroit once was, and aims to stimulate conversations about what comes next for this fluctuatingcity.Throughaero/fluid-dynamicexperimentation,theformofthecustomshallwasdeveloped.Trafficfluctuationsandfluiddynamicswereconsidered when developing circulation patterns; like flowing water, passengers and vehicles travel though the border check along the path of least resistance.

CRIPE COMPETITION: THERMAL CA.4th year studio design competition 2014Breaking New Ground Competition, Sponsored by CRIPEProfessor: Jonathan Spodek First Place Winning Project

Site: Desert, Thermal, Coachella Valley CA.

Program: Breaking New Ground is an international design and ideas competition addressing the urgent affordable housing needs of migrant farmworker and service worker families in the Coachella Valley. Efforts to improve living conditions suffer from a lack of funding and coordination. The competition seeks to address this by harnessing the power of design to envision new precedents, mechanisms, and policies for affordable housing implementation, with implications for California and the nation.Approach: Constructing a housing project in the middle of the desert without access to resources is not a solution. The site provided is more than 10 miles away from the nearest market. The closest available resource to the site is the Desert Mirage School District. Utilizing this school as an anchor point, this plan proposes to develop a new town centered around education as well as worker housing. Integrating the new housing within businesses and school buildings will provide opportunities for the migrant workers and their children to further their education as well as peruse other jobs than farm labor.

City Plan for Thermal CA.An axis is imposed onto the existing street connecting the given site to the Desert Mirage School Complex. Populating this axis with legal, medical, and educational facilities provides the residents with opportunities and outlets than the proposed “low income housing”. Rather than perpetuating the given issues present with the competitions program, an outline for a city plan is provided to supplement the housing needs.

Hillside Colorado CabinBuild Tech. 373Professor: Dick StaffordSpring 2014

Program: Building in Hillside Colorado presents unique opportunities and obstacles. Constructing a cabin that will be sustainable both economically and environmentally is achieved by utilizing locally sourced and available building materials. Large windows provide vast amounts of natural light to penetrate and warm thermally massive constructions storing power saving energy for the cold Colorado nights.

Revit:Literacy in BIM softwares such as Revit allows the creating of extremely detailedandintricatedesignswithgreaterefficiency.Thiscabinisoneexample of the multiple projects created using Revit as the primary means of creating constructions documents.

Construction Documents: While design is essential to the craft, understanding building materials, systems and construction is needed to see a project through to the end.

Without the strict enforcement of building codes and regulations, Latin American architecture often takes interesting shapes and forms not seen in the United States. Unorthodox staircases and almost universal rooftop access offers perspectives of cities and structures I am unable to explore elsewhere.

WoodworkWorking primarily through the computer as a medium when presenting architecture, my hands are often left restless. Having a physical manifestation as an end result is much more satisfying. Creating furniture as well as utensils and vases offers an outlet to release energy into objects that can be handled. Carving away at a solids provides both relaxation and mental exercise at navigating three dimensional perceptions.
