Undergraduate Work
Herrington Algae Park
2018 | Graduate Design Studio
The original priority of maximizing sunlight absorptance provided the opportunity to exploit the space beneath the generated canopy. A vaulted structure erupts from the main processing component of the bioreactor, freeing the space surrounding it and allowing the opportunity for the free plan. The bioreactor creates a unique experience meant to emulate a hybrid of technology and nature. The forest of bioreactors defines a cinematic promenade for the guest and the employee. The algae bioreactor system responds to the topography it encapsulates while creating a flexible space with a free plan.
Meta Cafe
2018 | Design Charette
The college of Design is divided into three schools and four buildings. Students need a space to create fellowship and our college needs a place to introduce potential students to the design community created by students for students.
Meta Cafe takes a simple hallway and transforms it into a community area utilizing the high traffic of design students. The flexible design gives students a place to relax, energize, and socialize as well as display work and discuss student projects.
A hallway cannot effectively showcase the abilities of students at the University of Kentucky. Using a more dynamic space would provide a welcoming and an exciting introduction to the College of Design.
Netpark
2017 | Berlin Summer Design Studio
The Tempelhof neighborhood of Berlin needs housing that fits into the surrounding site conditions and adds to the welfare of the community. Netpark analyzes and connects the surrounding architecture and infrastructure using a vector grid. The courtyard tradition in Berlin Architecture was a precedent in the design of Netpark. The site Juxtaposes a residential and public program.
The buildings use standard circulation and planning methods. The organization of the structures was designed to create a series of parks that serve a multitude of programs within the site. Netpark connects the elements of the Templehof neighborhood and projects a complex juxtaposition of programs.
Polar Opposites
2017 | Berlin Summer Studio
To kick off the summer program in Berlin, our professor instructed us to find toy animals, patterns and textures in the city, and popular locations. A toy polar bear was recreated as digital polygonal model, overlayed with a cigarette pattern texture, and placed in the Spree River.
