A C E N T E R F O R R E L I G I O U S S T U D I E SUniversity of Virginia, CharlottesvilleProposed CollegeFourth Semester | Spring 2014

I decided to challenge the traditional role of the library on the lawn by reinterpreting the library’s rightful place in one’s daily life. The design for the new Center for Religious Studies focuses primarily on the spiritual act of reflection. With this spiritual act comes many facets of daily life, including: water, cloister cells, private reading rooms, areas of study, and ultimately a holy place, or sanctuary, with the sanctuary becoming the ul-timatum of the complex overall. Throughout the progression toward the entrance to the sanctuary, there are various special spots accommodating both the private residences as well as the public, each providing a moment of relaxation and reflection. I pushed this idea programmatically by placing the sanctuary at view across the reflection pool in order to always keep a dialogue between the person and the holy realm. Another theme I explored is the use of filtered and deflected light. By only receiving deflected light, it allows the illumination of material and denies views that would perhaps be distracting to the beholder, as in the sanctuary.

Jefferson’s “Temple of Knowledge”

01

6 | 40 7 | 40

This glass corridor serves as threshold between public and private interior space and barrier between public and private gardens.

The gutter system is de-signed to be hidden behind the brick wall. It is also a way of collecting rainwater which can then be used to fill the water feature as well as water the gardens.

The brick coursing is turned vertically on the bell tower to symbolically draw the eye up toward heaven as one walks along the pathway.

The walls to the inner sanctuary are angled in a way to deny views to the outside in an effort to create a more intimate, less-distracting environment to worship.

The translucent bathroom windows to the visitor’s cloister cells are strategically facing one another instead of the outside to both give more privacy and to filter in deflected light.

GLASS CORRIDORBELL TOWER GATEWAY

The path that runs through the bell tower serves as a major access to Jefferson’s Lawn and Rotunda. By extending the sanctuary over the path, my intent is to create a spiritual focus before entering the lawn that has long be ruled by the “Temple of Knowledge.”

This project involved coming up with a proposal for a new information kiosk in the Art & Architecture building. After choosing our general locations, we then moved into the site analysis and chose the perfect spots for our designs. I decided to explore the concept of designing a tree-like kiosk where a former tree stood in the atrium. This location is one of the most heavily populated places in the building making it an ideal space for a centrally located information booth.

PAV I L I O N X I IUniversity of Virginia, CharlottesvilleTower BuildingFourth Semester| Spring 2014

The basic concept is to extend Jefferson’s “academical village” in an effort to rein-terpret the Lawn’s classical elements in a modern way and gives students a personal escape from the hustle of college life. I decided to extend Jefferson’s colonnade in a tower form, with the path through the colonnade being the opening in building and the massive brick form being the columns. It is set back from the lawn as to not disturb the conversation between Jefferson’s and Washington’s conversation across the lawn. My intent is to track the passage of time with a single beam of the sun’s light. The focus of the tower is the oculus that allows sun to penetrate the tall reading space.

Since my latern was a study of how the sun regulates time and nature, I decided to make the tower into a living time-piece. For that reason, I placed a six foot diameter oculus on the south facing facade. Th roughout the year, the sun casts shadows along diff erent paths along the interior vaulted ceiling, kindly revealing to the guest how long they have been reading.

U N A S S U M I N G E C O T O N EClyde York 4H Center | Crossville, TennesseeCultural | Environmental Exploration CenterFifth Semester| Fall 2014

In an effort to reconcile Crossville’s rich culture, the 4H mission, and the camp’s history of being one of the first Prisoner of War camps during WWII, my goal through this project is to highlight the passing of time through the use of water running down a striking cut in the landscape. My intent is for the environmental exploration center to conceptually recede into the threshold between forest and and meadow in a way that the buildings take on a ghostlike quality, maximizing views of the environment and of the drainage path. Some of the design decisions that enforce this idea is the reflectivity of the glass facade on the forest side when seen on approach. The exterior walls also extend out past the facade into the forest to resemble the verticality of the trees. The ribbon window on the meadow side is meant to highlight the horizontality of the farmland. The wildflower roof also reinforces the hidden quality by blending in with the adjacent wildflower slope.

FORESTBUILDINGS

GARDEN

CROPS PROGRAMMATIC STRIATIONSThe program is dictated by the carved drain-age path from the highest point on the site draining into the large lake. The layers of program are then mimmicked outward from that line in the landscape. The buildings are meant to get lost in the threshold between dense forest and the low-lying greenery of the gardens and wild grasses.

These two pieces are inspired by my time working in Haiti with an organization I co-founded, called Sustaining a Village Everyday (www.teenSAVE.org). They remind me that humanity everywhere has the same needs and desire to live healthy dignified lives. They remind me that people are the driving factor behind any cause that I get behind and help me associate a face with the cause.

This piece preexisted the previous two as an exercise in portrait drawing and proportions.
