These drawings were created as exercises in Design Drawing, while the Empire State Building was sketched in response to a photograph.

‘Empire State Building’, Pencil

CAPTUREThese photos were taken outside of my hometown in the rural part of the county where working farms and run down barns and sheds have sat since before I was born and continue to age in place.

Dairy Barn, Statesville, NC

Lean-to with Sliding Barn Doors, Statesville, NC

Old Tractor Shed, Statesville, NC

These photos were taken during multiple trips around the United States. Others were taken in response to how Iviewed the public interacting with surrounding environments, and some were taken in response to a particular ornamentation or facade.

SCULPTThis sculpture was developed during Introduction to Sculpting and was my fi rst attempt using the subtractive process of design.

Untitled, Carved from Alabaster

This piece was the fi rst project for SeniorArchitecture Design Studio, meant to be an ‘abstract’ derived from a prominent building. This piece was crafted in reaction to Santiago Calatrava’s Lyon-Saint Exupry Airport locatedin France.

Abstract

IDEATE

These are representations of different methods that were employed to come up with ideas and inform various design projects assigned during Senior Architecture Design Studio. These methods include collage, sketch modeling, and abstract sketching. Many were done in an attempt to develop multiple ways to approach design problems and to help clients understand design concepts.

Collage, H’s Stage

Collage, Graphic Designer’s Billboard Studio

Conceptual Model, N.C. Sustainable Design Competition

Progression through Senior Architecture Design Studio pushed my conceptual abstraction while allowing me ways to ground them in reality. Using various ideas in tandem with real-world settings, such as city plans, topographical maps, and Google Earth, allowed me to begin to look at ideas outside of two-dimensions.

MODEL

These models are representations of different stages in various design exercises. All of these were done as an individual assignment and range from conceptual analysis and diagrammatic site planning to precendent analysis and fi nal design.

“H’s” Stage, a group design-build project for the Valle Crucis Community Park, features a performance stage, concession stand, and storage. The stage was built in honor of H.W. Mast. It is used during the Music in the Valle summer concert series, and is utilized by the Valle Crucis Community Park and it’s many visitors year-round.
