HYANNIS PUBLIC LIBRARY
Hyannis, MA / Union Studio
This speculative early education center is a study of construction and decay using local and recycled materials, transplanted forms and techniques, and an educational model supported by the architecture itself. It is semi-buried along the Seekonk River, acknowledging the flood potential as a natural expiration date. The students can learn within nature in a non-traditional building and education model.

POP ARCHITECTURE
Core 1 | RISD
This project is a study of narrative and graphics as a driver for architecture. The site is a small courtyard in front of the RISD museum. Four sheets, oriented true north, were then placed into the courtyard. The lines of the court generated seems for the sheets to fold with. Through lifting and extruding, the sheets began to create a series of spaces needed for the narrative. Color is used to codify the sheets in the drawings and to codify Penguin’s emotions in the narrative.
GREAT LAKES
NATURE CENTER
Comprehensive Design | LTU
The goal of this project is to use architecture as a vessel for public education opportunities while enhancing the natural environment. It aims to provide informative interior and exterior exhibits on the aquatic, reptilian, amphibian, aviary, and vegetative wildlife native to the Great Lakes region. It also works to provide informative exhibits on sustainable building performance and sites, as well as water conservation efforts.
FACTORY NO. 3
Integrated Design 5 | LTU
This is a conceptual community center for teenagers in a rural Michigan town. Physical properties, such as light conditions, material, and form, serve to reinforce the goal of fostering life skills and providing a variety of entertainment options for underserved students. There are
also on-site affordable dwellings for young adults to gain
experience with independent living.
URBAN COMPOSTING
Integrated Design 4 | LTU
This study is on the systematic use of compost and the role of the food cycle in a community. A mapping of the site in Detroit was created, focusing on highlighting relationships between the various needs of the community. Finally, these relationships were used to determine the program of a new community center. At its core, it is an education center for all areas of the food cycle, which is supported by adaptable classroom spaces for health classes, event spaces, and an open courtyard.
DETROIT DWELLING
Detroit, MI | Commission
Constructed with structural insulated panels (SIP) and an
industrial aesthetic, this house is designed for an emptynest couple with a desire to downsize in a sustainable way. Radiant heat flooring, SIP construction, and roof-mounted photovoltaic panels help to reduce the carbon footprint, while modern furnishings, concrete floors and countertops, and open-riser stairs create a livable and contemporary interior space.
IDENTITY
Studio Art II | HHS
self-portrait about the layers of a person not always visible. It is a mixed media piece; the additive composition compliments the jumble of images. While it adheres to the project required pieces, including “your eye,” “a famous piece of art,” “something inspirational,” it does not segment as individual components. Instead, transparency is used to layer onto the physical body part, reflecting how the spirit is messy and complicated when shown to the world.
