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.

GOSHIKI PUNNETS
Chicago, IL
Conceptual Designs
2022

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

Conceptual designs explore the combination of various descriptive words into a final shape using Punnett squares. The terms Goshiki, Goromo, Utsuri, and Hariwake are inspired by real Japanese Koi fish, serving as a secondary focus for these descriptive designs and color schemes to maintain a consistent theme of free-flowing shapes. The lower image incorporates the Goshiki Punnett square, focusing on the terms "glitchy" and "dimpled," and places them into a Chicago backdrop, testing how various forms can be overlaid in an urban design while matching colors across foreground and background schemes.
