“
Architecture as a profession and a field allows the designer to design as simply or as complex as they choose. As a member of the field, I consider architecture the process of translating ideas into a built form of art. Elements that I consider when critiquing a design include beauty, practicality, and an abstraction of ideas. The culmination of these ideas in a design can create spaces that appeal to the human senses, allowing the designer to convey sensations through a sensory experience. With the advent and extensive use of technology though, much of contemporary architecture has disregarded theory and resorted to only addressing beauty, practicality, or abstraction rather than all of these ideas. An understanding and execution of these ideas is instrumental in the success of an architectural piece.

An extension of the historic Reading viaduct, ELEVATED is a living bridge connecting the rising loft district with Center city Philadelphia. ELEVATED begins 20 feet above street level spans over 300 feet, and lands after Vine Street behind the Pennsylvania Convention Center. ELEVATED was designed to encourage direct pedestrian traffic in both directions, prompting the creation of a prominent central circulation. ELEVATED houses over 57,820 square feet of commercial and residential space. To achieve the span, a truss tube was used with a superstructure that brings the project to the ground.

BELVEDERE: COLLEGE
OF
ARCHITECTURE
The new College of Architecture and the Built Environment (C_ABE) building on Philadelphia University’s campus will provide Philadelphia University with a new College of Architecture building that is not only on the cutting edge of technology but also acts as a connective tissue between the campus and the surrounding communities, the old and the new, and the past and the future. With the addition of the new C_ABE building we hope to incorporate and focus on integrating the school of architecture into one centralized location, while encouraging a collaborative studio work and learning environment. This building will not only reflect the sustainability aspects so heavily incorporated into our learning system but will show the spirit of Philadelphia University and its ongoing relationship with the nearby neighborhoods. The C_ABE building will become the newest architecture studio building in Philadelphia, and with that it is our responsibility to show how the future of architecture is unfolding. Philadelphia University will be pioneering the way for the future.

BELVEDERE was a project done in conjunction with two other Architecture students for a comprehensive design studio. After extensive site analysis, we chose a challenging site on campus for our design. The site required us to do extensive massing studies in order to find an appropriate placing for our 90,000 square foot building and address all the site’s challenges. In the process, we eliminated the existing building, placed our public program on Henry Avenue, one of Philadelphia’s arterial roads. The students and faculty are cantilevered over the site to take advantage of the views. The cantilever is achieved with a tree-like structal system. Macro Study

Saint Benedict’s Monastery in Bucks County, PA is an entry into the 112th John Stewardson Memorial Fellowship in Architecture. The concept of the design is derived from Saint Benedict’s doctrine that highlighted the importance of Lectio Devina| Holy Reading, Prex Precis |Prayer, and Opus|Work. This is evident in the simple layout of the programmatic elements. The connected components of the plan form an exterior border, allowing the monks to focus inward on the sacred church.

Located at the intersection of E. river drive and Midvale Avenue along the scenic Kelly Drive is ‘LUNCHBOX’. An urban kitchen that is intended to extend the pedestrian activity that exists in the East falls neighborhood into Kelly Drive, LUNCHBOX is modeled after the concept of a produce stand, with operability that enforces the casual nature of a temporary produce stand. LUNCHBOX also employs tectonics that make it adaptable to other locations. The intended users include joggers and bikers along Kelly Drive, as well members of the East Falls community, particularly those traveling by bus.

DANCE CENTER
Floor Plan
Dance and architecture share a similar necessity: space; both the dancing body and architecture manipulate space for movement. For this reason, dance informs the architecture of the Mt. Airy center for Dance. The project is located in the Mt. Airy community in Philadelphia on a site with an existing barn ruin. The concept translates to the existing and new architecture responding like dancers do during a performance. This project was explored through collaging, hand drawing, model making and other mixed media. Concept Collage

Azerbaijan Artifacts is an online (virtual) exhibition that depicts and explains aspects of Azerbaijani culture using artifacts (“objects�) as its basis. The coins section of the exhibition was designed, prepared, and produced in conjunction with the Karabakh Foundation using Foundation archival materials as well as images of materials from other trusted resources. The exhibition includes scans of visuals, interpretive labeling and text.

AZERBAIJANI ARTIFACTS: COINS
Interactive content pages
The feeling of reading a book was the driving concept behind the design of the exhibition’s interface. The design incorporates interactive elements, allowing the user to see both sides of the coin with half the space. The web version features a header and footer, meant to guide the reader through the exhibit as well as link to external resources. The exhibit is also translated to a print version, incorporating coins, maps, and photographs in both the design and content.

Freedom has always been at the foundation of the United States of America. Freedom can be described as the ability to make one’s own decisions.

The freedom gained from these wars has also been highly regulated by the political system present today. Americans consider democracy to be the fairest manifestation of collective freedom; allowing the people to choose their leader. Voting, campaigning and political debates by opponents showcase the politics behind freedom. These methods of establishing and maintaining freedom often leave us wondering, is freedom really free? The Politics of Freedom exhibit explores the objects and events that have come to represent American freedom throughout time.

“1 Journey Across the Atlantic� is an exhibition of ten seemingly random objects. The aim of the project was to create and design the story line, text, and graphics for ten unrelated object. The concept behind this exhibit suggests that the objects belong to a traveler and each object was acquired at the visited cities.
