Research
As part of my fifth year graduate studio, I was part of a research team, looking into improving the thermal performance of rainscreens in hot climates. In collaboration with Zahner Metals and BNIM Architects, we tested hundreds of samples of steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc, each with different finishes perforations. Our most signififcant finding we titled “rust beef sandiwich”, which included a second layer of alumnium to act as a radiant barrier. This design would allow for the exterior cladding to be made of any material, of any finish, and still perform to the same efficiency as a high performing metal. Introducing the second layer also allowed for the thinning of materials due to the stressed skin created by the connection of the two layers.

Design
With the research gleened from the Rust Beef Sandwich, I developed this design for a high performance laboratory, catered to the modern scientist. It employs sustainable strategies such as a deep light well and a breezeway to combat the hot and humid climate of Houston, Texas. It’s open and flexible spaces were crafted around the idea of the efficiency of the modern scientist.

Section Detail Perspective
Design
Under the tutalege of three architects from BNIM, I had my most in depth look into construction documents. My set featured drawings down to the detail level that were near professional quality, and greatly increased my understanding of Revit’s capabilities. I researched terra cotta as the primary cladding material due to its sustainable efficiency as well as its flexibilty in color and texture.

Italy Study Abroad - Redesigning the Tiber River - Rome, Italy - Spring 2013 - Pedestrian Response to Bridges - Venice/Florence, Italy - Spring 2013
Tiber River Redesign Section
Design
During the Spring of 2013, I had the chance to work with a landscape architecture student in a joint venture to reliven a baren portion of Rome’s Tiber River. We used the symbol of creation that comes with scaffolding to develop a variety of spaces closer to the river. I applied research done in Italy on the way that pedestrians interact with public spaces to strategically encourage river interaction.

Sol LeWitt One-Artist Museum - High Density Infill Project - New York City, New York - Spring 2012
Design
A trip to New York City for studio led to the challenge of designing a museum for a single artist, and furthering my knowledge of designing for an infill site. This was my first attempt at employing terra cotta as the main cladding. A large light well filled the center of the design, and in collaboration with a light well in back, produced a large amount of indirect light on all of Sol LeWitt’s wall artwork. The section perspective portion of this task furthered my knowedge of Revit.
