THE QUEEN CITY TYPOLOGY | This project was approached in a non-traditional way: putting form before function. By documenting different housing typologies throughout the city of Cincinnati, I was able to create a composition that utilized the basic forms of the city.

LOST HISTORY | The project guidelines called for three programs: A theater, pool and one program of our choice. To embrace the city even further than just in form, I decided to make the final program a music history museum to celebrate the often overlooked contributions Cincinnati has had to pop music in the past century. These two main programs compliment each other well, while the pools of water scattered on the surface serve as a visual break between the elevator core and the other programs.

ENFILADE | Commonly used in 18th century French palaces, enfilade arranges rooms along an axial corridor that cuts through the rooms’ center. This idea would help guide my circulation path

PROGRAM | Project rules dictated that each student create a space big enough to house two adults and three children. The floors are divided up between Public space on the ground floor, children’s space on the second floor and adult space on the top floor.

PROGRAM | The main goal of this competition was to create a space that can house small charettes and contains all of the neces-sary amenities to design, fabricate and exhibit a project. With gal-lery space below and studio space above, the lecture hall creates a ‘union’ between these two programs.

SAILOR’S UNION STUDY

REVIVING AN ICON | The Sailors’ Union of the Pacific Building has a long history in San Francisco, dating back to the end of Word War II. The owner is now looking to adapt the building to better fit the changing lifestyle of the city. I was assigned to create a Rhino model of the building from a mix of old CAD plans and visiting the site. The model was then used to generate diagrams of potential programs for the updated building.

UNIT PLANS | The Marquee is a new apartment complex in Chicago being built on top of the existing Block 37 mall. I was tasked with generating unit plans for every unit in the building using the existing Revit files of the project. These drawings were used by our client to begin pricing units and for marketing purposes.

(Right) In addition to the unit plans, I was sent on multiple site visits to observe the construction process and take photos. For the photos on the right, I was asked to use Photoshop to insert the proposed foliage on the amenity deck level.
