This comprehensive team project proposes a 13-story

residential development with 227 affordable and

market-rate units, an underground parking garage, and

other resident amenit ies.

The dual tower + podium + courtyard massing al lows

for both the optimum amount of natural l ight to reach

the units and extensive community spaces and l ive/

work units on the ground f loor. Sustainabi l i ty features

were also developed, including green roofs and passive

thermal water heating.

The eroding f igure-ground pattern of the c ity of Toledo

has left many gaping holes in i ts urban fabric. This

urban park proposal works to f i l l one of the holes with

a community center focused on connection.

The park derives i ts form from extending the surrounding

street gr ids into the interst it ia l space to create a pattern

of interlocking “f ingers.” The f ingers incorporate

exist ing s ignif icant cultural bui ldings as wel l as new

community, commercial , and civ ic constructions.

The famil iar gr id of NYC breaks down in lower Manhattan,

result ing is a loss of spatial def init ion and orientation

for pedestr ians. The s ite, Edgar Plaza, is an awkward

space that interrupts a major street of Greenwich

St. This k iosk proposal offers a gateway that v isual ly

reconnects the north and south ends of Greenwich St.

Based on the changing needs of pedestr ians throughout

the day, the kiosk’s program transforms from a

commuter-oriented newsstand and wireless hotspot

during the day to a community project ion screen and

tourist information hub at night.

storytelling

M. Arch Thesis

original novel (WIP)

The work explores individual and group inhabitat ion,

agency over materials , and environmental interact ion

using f ict ional characters and scenarios.

The players are abstract ions from several of my works

of or iginal f ict ion. Removed from their or iginal l i terary

context, they become three archetypal characters with

dist inct spatial att itudes.

After establ ishing the characters in their current

s ituation, the work explores their roles and engagement

with creating a new situation for themselves by way of

a v isual narrat ive.

The imagined world of the f ict ion inspires architecture.

Architecture expands f ict ion to i ts v isual and spatial

l imits.
