Abstract Forms | Fall 2013

Disruptive Continuity | This project’s goal was to combine a series of programs to create a unified, abstract design. The design displays moments of interaction and variation within and between the three programs: grid, object and surface. The boundaries defined the limits of my grid, prompting me to play and experiment with the x, y and z axes. Throughout the form, local conditions are revealed within the overall structure.

Urban Library | Fall 2013

Public Program Shared Program Private Program

Lexington, Kentucky | This project reconnects the library to downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky’s main campus. The program of this library is centered around the concept for the future of books combined/compared with new digital technologies. The design uses private and public spaces to integrate a shared program that will attract a variety of different people. To execute the concept, the building is situated on the existing site of the main transportation branch. By doing this, the building turns into a hub. Then, the bridge is added to create easy accessibility for pedestrians coming from downtown, making the design both a public and social space.

IMAX Theater | Spring 2013

First Floor

Second Floor Third Floor

Lexington Distillery District | This project was designed to be a multi-use entertainment structure that contains two IMAX theaters and introduces a grand ballroom space to accompany the adjacent hotel. The main circulation path is through the middle of the building as a way to demonstrate a social and communal program accented by exposed structural steel. This design also includes long-span steel trusses and active sustainable features.
