Toward an Ecology of Building: the symbiotic relationship between habitats
Research

environment
habitatsworking together
Birds build nests, spiders build webs and humans build cities
As the human population increases other populations that are essential to our health and well being decrease. As architects we design for human habitation but can’t we change that, and begin to design so that other species can occupy our cities as well? Our cities are parasitic to other organisms and as architects it is essential for us to begin to understand ecology because that is what we affect.
Problem: as population increases (83 million/yr. currently) land use also increases, (Buncombe county 2.77 acres per day) thus reducing the habitable area of other species.
Due to: agriculture to feed the people, com-mercial and housing developments.
Solution: design with ecology in mind, for both humans and other species.
Strategy: design for honeybees (they are responsible for 1/3 of our food supply) they also pollinate plants which attract other species thus increasing the number of habitats for other species.

Loss of Honeybees
“It has been estimated that approximately 1/3 of everything we eat benefits from bee pollination. That includes plants that are fed to livestock...Bee pollination adds $15 billion a year to the agricultural base of the US alone.”
“Loss of biodiversity is real. Biologists have alerted each other and much of the general public to the contemporary mass extinction of species.”
“The most obvious kind of loss is quantitative-the conversion of a native prairie to a corn field or to a parking lot.”
“Biologists agree that the major proximate causes of biotic impoverishment today are habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation”

Just as one bee makes all the bees in her hive, one site will become part of a community. The project becomes a strategy for the community by focusing on breweries in the area. Networks can then be created allowing for habitats to work together.

Charlotte Olympics 2024/2030 Plans | The Linked City
Group Work
Urban designhttp://issuu.com/nbrow/docs/olympicsstudio_uncc
This project is a collaboration between a group of eight students to research, organize and plan for the possibility of the 2024 Olympics coming to Charlotte.
A plan that investigates costs, precedents, development, and infrastructure that would happen before, during and after the Olympics. This includes up fitting current stadiums, developing new stadiums, preparing for future population growth, new transit, sustainability, and improving streets by adding strips of parks through them.
Personal contributions:
-Physical model
-Panthers stadium redesign- adding streets, housing, office, and retail and integration with main concourse and Olympic park. (2030 plan)
-Street improvement- locations, materials, typologies, park space
-Sustainable strategies- improving water quality through the use of bioswales, bike and walking paths, and stadiums
-Financial precedent studies: where majority of costs were spent, attendance to Olympics (helped with planning hotels), Atlanta Olympics precedent, infrastructure costs
-Conceptual design (group discussion and collaging)

2030 Plan
Remove of Panthers stadium after the Olympics allows for housing, retail, and office space to be brought into the city. It allows for the population within the city to expand in the future and the Olympics also bring a new stadium for the Charlotte Panthers.

The Hub is a comprehensive studio project based on designing the UNCC uptown campus, starting with group site analysis and master planning and going into individual work to design one building (the hub) which is a mixed use program. Before beginning the master planning we were asked to consider future development plans for the area which included a parking deck and a market street along the northwest side of the site. The site sits in the middle of housing, business, students, and entertainment and the concept for the design was based on interlocking these areas through both the master plan and the building design.

The site is accessible to people from the light rail, residential, market street, business district and students. The concept for the building like that of the site is interlocking. Light and heavy materials interlock to create special mo- ments in the architecture, while integrating people coming into the site. Studio spaces along the street allow movement to be visible throughout the day and night allowing people passing by to get a glimps of the life of archi-tecture students. The building moves away from the sidewalk make the site more inviting and visible as an extension of space rather than a boundary. The light materials mix with heavy materials to bring natural light through the building in interesting ways.

Chapel, Crematorium, Columbarium
Studio
This studio was about creating an experience on the site as well as the building. The program was for a chapel, crematorium and columbarium and research was done to look at how different cultures deal with death. The site is located in Pinewood Cemetery in Charlotte, NC and because it was a burial site for slaves only two graves have markers. The site is also next to a factory and train tracks which give constant noise to the site. Because of the vegetation on site many birds make their home here, adding a more pleasant sound to the site and scatter as the hourly train passes. Stepping stones were scattered along the procession to the chapel in order to make people aware of their footsteps as they would in a cemetery with grave markers. The chapel is an unconditioned space made with a gabion wall system to allow light and shadows to move within the space and the columbarium becomes a birds nest where loved ones can place objects within the nest and experience the fluttering of birds as they say their good byes. The architecture uses materials and spatial arrangements to create different experiences.

Shadow Box
Built Projects
Structures project requiring students to design a shadow box which uses wood, metal and rockite. Weight requirements and minimum and maximum dimensions had to be met. For inspiration for the project students were to choose an artist. The artist chosen for this project was ART + COM, they make amazing kinetic structures which are very delicate. My project utilized glass and magnets to carry the weight of the glass and allowed light to shine through the colored glass to produce varied reflections and shadows.
