Aims to design a progressive model for the modern library, which keeps pace with technological advancement while still accomodating for more traditional uses.

Aims to design a housing and academic building for students, for a site in downtown Clemson.

Morphological analyses of Boston’s growth over time served as a conceptual basis.

RAMP DETAIL

// Tadao Ando ReconstructedThis group project (2 persons) required analyses and redesign

of construction processes for Ando’s Nakamura House, keeping the original form but switching from cast in place to precast concrete fabrication. One additional element was the

incorporation of a non-euclidian form into the design.

// Tesselation

Second group project (4 persons) involved experimentation with tesselations in 2 and 3 dimensions. First a single-shape tesselation, then one utilizing 2 shapes, and ultimately a gradually morphing sequence and a tesselated wall treatment.

From analyses of Norman Foster’s Stansted Airport in

London, I arrived at a morphological source of a regular

octahedron, which I broke down into a quarter pyramid as the

smallest repeatable unit that could build this octahedron. This

shape was applied to the design of a chapel and companion

memorial wall. My concept led me to frame views of the

surrounding greenspace, and also views from the context of

sunrises and sunsets, especially on the summer and winter

solstices. Use of precast concrete was required.

In my leisure time I enjoy experimenting in various mediums including pencil, marker, pen and most recently airbrush painting.
