EARTHlINKS FEllOWSHIPearthlinks’ mott o is “Community Ends Isolati on” embodies their mission to form a community for denver’s Homeless populati on. as a non-profi t, earthlinks has a workshop program that teaches the parti cipants how to garden and make earth-friendly products. Through Boulder associates, I had the privilege of working with a partner to design earthlinks’ new home. We created a master plan in a three-phased scheme which includes: renovati ng two existi ng buildings, building a large community garden, demolishing buildings, constructi ng a parking lot, relocati ng greenhouses and bee hives and fi nally a two story building for the far future. I managed the project’s fi rst phase, working closely with the non-profi t’s director to secure a building permit and complete the renovati on.

The wood manufacturing industry is deeply rooted in Virginia and has suffered greatly from outsourcing and insufficient investments. Creative manufacturing processes have the potential to innovate and revitalize the industry. Working in a team of four, we developed a fabrication system utilizing both technology and material properties. We believe that there is an untapped potential for the 3-axis CNC Router to create an autonomous wooden system that could aid in the redevelopment of the local industry. The system produces minimal waste, has surface structural capacity, and is designed from a precise curvature using a process that optimizes digital modeling for fabrication as a system. I led the team to synthesize our collective ideas through an intensive modeling process.

It is common knowledge that americans take the privilege of school for granted. until participating in Studio reCoVeR, I didn’t grasp the daily struggle children have in Africa travelling to and from school. Studio reCoVeR partners with Building Tomorrow, a student run organization, charged with the mission to design and build schools in uganda. I collaborated with four peers to design a safe school that provides an environment that helps teach life-long skills. Our modular design could be replicated on different sites around uganda. The rooms shift to form outdoor areas that can function both as classrooms and gathering areas. our client considered our team’s design for construction.

our design includes seven classrooms, housing for the teachers, a water collection system, solar kitchen, farming plots, and self-composting toilets. The design can be configured differently according to the site condition and what would be most cost-efficient. The construction sequence on the right illustrates our use of bamboo for the noise-reducing ceiling, security clerestory, and shading pergola.

bARClAY FOOD NETWORKInner city Balti more suff ers from urban decay and extreme vacancy. With a partner, I studied and mapped the programs of the remaining buildings in Barclay, Balti more to understand the city’s underlying fabric. We found intersecti ons to be a prominent focus in the city and observed a vernacular of restaurants occupying the corner building. our project aimed to create commercial intensity though food at an intersecti on to help revitalize the rest of the community. We used grasshopper to narrow our study to a vacant region of barclay. We considered the four corners as a part of a larger economic system and food network.

In secti on, we used simple push and pull logic when addressing the load bearing walls, forming both the public open space and the att racti on of the of the transparent food process. as a way to expand our program to the rest of the city we designed food trucks that would travel to the intersecti ons to spread healthy food to food desert neighborhoods. We designed the food trucks with the same rules as the building to connect to the intersecti on as a whole.

global architecture Brigades is a non-profi t that facilitates a design competi ti on and constructi on experience for students to help a deserving community in Honduras. This is a combinati on of our uVa team’s entry and my conti nuati on on the project in a Healing landscape thesis project. The center considers the vernacular we experienced when constructi ng in Honduras, which emphasizes the exterior spaces. We strived to provide a relaxing environment for the pati ents and their families. The site strategy responds to the steep slope with considerati on of the manual constructi on and the available resources.

SPRING 2011 | ARCH 2020SUKKAH CITYSukkahs are Jewish shelters that celebrate humans’ use of the land. It is a space to eat, sleep, and rejoice in; shaded from the sun, with openings to see the stars. My design highlights the eclipti c constellati ons that move across the sky with the change of season. It is created through a light thatched wood structure that is supported by a heavy wood base, symbolizing the gridded sky that rotates overhead above our grounded earth. Humans occupy the earthen structure that forms to their body, transforming as both a place for a family to eat a Shabbat dinner and comfortably recline to watch the stars.

STRANDbEEST WIND mUSEUmTheo Jansen designs larger than life self-propelling PVC beach animals or, as he calls them, Strandbeests. This exercise moved his dutch workshop to a site adjacent to the Highline in New york City. I was inspired by wind, as it is the sole fuel for the Stranbeests and is an element oft en forgott en about in design and the personal experience one has with buildings in NyC. as the Strandbeests adapt to New york City, they conti nue to live off the wind, bringing the people’s att enti on to the natural element and its powerful qualiti es.

SNAKING WIND TUNNEl

a dialogue is created between the snaking wind tunnel, open gallery space and the grounded concrete mass. above the Highline the building is open to the elements, a space for the people to walk alongside the Strandbeests in the wind. a dynamic facade faces the Highline, made up of individual aluminum ti les that rotate, moving in the wind. Verti cal metal rods pierce through the testi ng space into the museum. Both of these facilitate the study of wind through sight, sound, and touch. This helps people become more aware of their surroundings and the power wind has to produce energy.
