The event of night sailing has an expecta-tion of control, and yet there are holes - fuzzy areas between focal links. Floating on the horizon between water and sky, I was once surprised by phosphorescent plankton, a truly gravity-defying phenome-non. A boat is an instrument of experience. How can architecture relinquish control so it can become an instrument for a magical experience?
What happens between the points of pause becomes more important than the points themselves.
Barrier islands are temporal. Shifting tides and sands ensure a high variability of experience. In addition, sprawling live oak forests, long white beaches, rolling dunes, and salt marshes provide ecosystems with unique spatial qualities.

beardsley community farmfall 2015 – present | knoxville, tn
The design-build nature of this project allowed for innovations far-surpassing basic needs. As a twelve-person design team in the Fall of 2014, we each individually developed an initial conceptual scheme for the Beardsley Education Center. My concept, based on agrarian flux and microclimates, was one of three chosen for continuation. As a team, we each researched eight LEED Vol. 4 credits. Later, we drafted complete construction documents. In the Fall of 2015, I was part of a three-person team focused on the construction of an outdoor amphitheater. Connecting down the hillside to a greenway within the surrounding park, the amphitheater acts as a second front door to the education center, while also providing an outdoor teaching space. I am continuing the design and construction of bench seats and permeable pavers with an independent study this semester.

The CSX railyard barricades the main campus from the southern athletic fields. In order to unify a divided campus, a bridge branches across the railway to the volleyball, soccer, and softball facilities on the opposite side. Kinetic like the athletes who use these amenities, the bridge undulates, expands, and contracts, like muscular tissue attached to bone. Similar to a joint in the anatomy of a limb or finger, a void engulfed by a canopy of rib-like beams forms a volume of space fit for gathering while also linking the two sides of the railway. A second undulating line counteracts the first, touching the ground at key structural points which mimic the systematic functions of a spine. The bridge engages the existing topography and buildings within the site and forms a strong link.teammates: Kristia Bravo and Zane Russell

OLD CITY

FOUNDRY
“If the skies were clear, you almost certainly paused at the gate, with a hand on the latch, to search for the first star in the west, to wish for escape and a brilliant future, far away - and at the same instant you were aware of the iron of the gate beneath your hand, and were storing away the memory of how it felt”
- Helen Santmyer, writer
The texture from downtown to Old City to the warehouse district transitions from urban to archaic. Inspired by Carlo Scarpa’s use of path and thresholds, the history of the site reveals itself with an altered ground plain, outlining where previous foundry structures once stood.

hear...therefall 2015 | a + a building
Even in a visually open space such as the A +A atrium, people from varying back-grounds and majors tend to not communciate with each other, especially across great distances or from different floors. In collaboration with Hannah Margush, we both strived to encourage strangers to have chance encounters, break the ice, and communicate with each other. Our interest in acoustics inspired us to CNC-route two parabolic sound mirrors to be placed within the Art + Architecture building. Our experiment was success-ful in transmitting sounds across long distances while also sparking interaction.
overcoming an urban barrier
The railway is a barricade dividing the city of Kraków, Poland, and the land under the railtrack is underutilized. Situated near the Jewish District, the New Jewish Cemetery, and Hala Targowa market, the site is an ideal location for an hotel with a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, a breakfast and lounge, and a swimming pool and exercise room. Poland is one of Europe’s most prominent apple producers, with cakes and desserts full of the sweet fruit. An apple orchard will be a unique addition to the urban landscape, providing both shade and fresh produce. I lead a five person urban design team in designing the entire length of track, while the southern-most portion was my own focus. Important urban design strategies such car-free roads and terminated axes helped link all five teammem-bers’ projects into a unified design.

clay county heritage centerspring 2014 | manchester, kentucky
Pride and tradition run through the veins of the people of Clay County, Kentucky. A heritage center in Manchester would liven a currently barren downtown, spawning part of a grand plan to make Manchester an urban hub with a better quality of life for residents, as well as an exciting tourist destination to draw more population to the city.
The program of the Clay County Heritage Center is stacked into four levels, creat-ing room for a large outdoor space, which attracts people from the street. From the far southern end of Main Street, travelers by car see a tall green wall in the distance, marking the destination. Pedestrians walk by the heritage center and see an am-phitheater stepping down into a sunken courtyard.
campus continuumfall 2013 | knoxville, tn
Allured by the youthful spirit of explora-tion and learning, many 50+ individuals choose to move close to college cam-puses. The University of Tennessee is a centration point for events and educational opportunities, while downtown Knoxville offers avenues for the celebration of culture and art. Campus Continuum hous-ing on Summitt Hill merges both realms, assuring the opportunity for residents to benefit from downtown and campus.
A miniCampus will revitalize a site which is currently fading behind a vibrant and prosperous downtown. For residents of the Campus Continuum, involvement in on-site amenities as well as on-campus and downtown attractions encourages a healthy and active lifestyle.
woodstock library extension
A U-shaped theological center library extension attaches and inserts into the bottom floor of the existing library, creating an interior study courtyard. A mezzanine allows students to walk between the double-height bookshelves. The material of the bookcase wraps from interior to exterior, a bending plane forming seating for outdoor reading. Voids within the book-shelves provide private study cubicles. The roof of the attachment also becomes accessible, allowing ground floor access to an outdoor terrace.

My art minor has been my stress release and my inspiration. I love to work with my hands and try ideas I could not explore in my architecture courses. I have made everything from flipbooks, to stop-motion films, to welded sculptures, pottery on the wheel, phenomenological installations, costumes, and performances. I would not trade the knowledge I gained from my art courses for the world. I think creativity and imagination are important in an architec-tural world. An art minor has helped me be confident in a concept and has taught me to not be afraid of an idea.
