RESEARCH

FABRICATION (WIP)

I am a fourth year student at the University of Tennessee within their Bachelor of Architecture program.

Currently, I am working as a research assistant with Professor Mark Stanley on researching speculative futures in the Oak Ridge region and am a part of Space and Building Fabrication for the College of Architecture and Design at the university.
My current interests are in urban planning and urban zoning and how to make city’s better for the future through the use of architecture. Programs that have helped me with this have been working with the Civic Design Center during my study abroad in Nashville and using various GIS software to analyze and act. Other interests include the creation of handheld fabrication models and scene building in various render software.

EMBODYING PERSPECTIVES
Chicago, IL
Conceptual Designs
2022

Software Used: Rhino 7, Adobe Creative Cloud, V-Ray

This project examined the orientation of larger-scale drawings within Chicago Street at N State, transitioning from a zoomed satellite view to embody a person's perspective at ground level. The subsequent images delve into the trajectory of the elevated train-car system known as the "L," which traverses much of Chicago and is situated near various health pharmacies and clinics. This analysis aimed to understand the proximity of urban planning elements and their impact on accessibility.

By capturing the spatial relationship between the "L" and surrounding healthcare facilities, the study provides insights into how transportation infrastructure intersects with public health services, highlighting the significance of integrated urban design in enhancing community accessibility and connectivity.

The various persepctive images located below emphasize the spacings between the train and the pharmacy showcased in red. A hybridized color scheme was chosen as to emphasize and deemphasize the various schema around the structures.
