STATEMENT OF INTENT The following pages display projects from my undergraduate studies in the Bachelor of Architecture program at Iowa State University. I seek to show the wide range of skills that I have developed, as well as my personal values towards architecture within this portfolio. After five years of study, the skills and values that I have cultivated have helped me to define who I am: I seek thoughtful solutions to problems. All projects have distinct criteria set forth, providing unique circumstances to consider. It is necessary to delve deeper into issues of human experience, site considerations, and environmental impact to create a comprehensive design that responds accurately to its situation. I have gained an awareness about the impact that architecture makes, allowing me to develop responsible and inventive solutions in my educational projects. I create meaningful connections. Architecture is not a stand-alone matter; it is intricately connected with people, nature, and economy. As a way to bring people together, it provides people opportunities to interact with the built and unbuilt environment. Synthesizing multiple perspectives allows for a balanced architecture that connect many intricate aspects into one unified design. I value collaboration. Several of my projects have been team-based. Working with teams has allowed me to gain another’s perspective and expand my thought process. I have learned to actively seek help from colleagues in architecture and other professions to take my designs to the next level. I want to create a positive impact. I believe that through architecture, we can bring about social change and improve the well-being of society. It is my professional responsibility to make meaningful and strategic design choices that take into account the health and happiness of others. A sustainable and public-interest mentality is important in creating a positive impact. As I progress towards the professional domain of architecture, I aspire to work with a firm that aligns with my values and allows me to continually grow and evolve. I hope that this portfolio expresses who I am, both as an apprentice and an advocate of meaningful architecture.

MUSIC MACHINE DATE: Spring 2012 LOCATION: Ames, Iowa TYPE: Interactive Installation TEAM: Yuan Liu Video of installation displayed at Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Washington D.C. July 2012 This project investigates the nature of sound. We were tasked to explore natural phenomena and develop a machine that allowed the human figure to fully experience it. The machine was required to be constructed primarily out of recycled materials. The manipulation of recycled umbrella pieces led to the invention of new instruments which produced different sounds. The notion of generating sound through distinct movements of the human body guided the formation of each instrument. A total of five instruments were created: three used by the hands and two used by the feet. The wooden framework was designed around the human form, and each instrument was oriented towards either the hands or feet to be intuitively played. The machine invited people of all ages to use and experience sound in a different fashion, cultivating imagination and creativity. My partner and I worked equally constructing the machine by hand. We alternated the instruments between each other and combined our ideas together for the final formations. Our method of creation followed a design-build process, where our preliminary design ideas continuously evolved throughout construction.

RESIDENCE FOR COLLECTORS DATE: Spring 2013 LOCATION: Soho, New York City, NY TYPE: Residential + Retail TEAM: Individual Project This project seeks to increase public participation within a dense urban environment. The design strives to maintain the dense conditions of New York City, while creating open space that is accessible by the community. This concept is expressed through the building form with an alternating U-shaped floor plan, keeping the residential floors at the periphery of the street and opening up the ground floor courtyard to the public. To maximize the amount of profitable residential units, 50 percent of apartments are micro units smaller than 500 square feet. With a requirement to design for a client with an alternative lifestyle, I designed for collectors and repurposers of antiques. As a response to the client, the building incorporates a series of display areas for exhibiting objects both inside and outside. The ground courtyard is utilized as an antique market for inhabitants to buy and sell their objects. Display areas of the apartment spark interest to invite the surrounding community into the courtyard, initiating interaction and involvement in the public space.

CENTER FOR INNOVATION DATE: Fall 2013 LOCATION: Columbus, Indiana TYPE: Museum + Public Space TEAM: Individual Project The rich history of industry and innovation in Columbus influences the program of this museum, consolidating art, architecture, and industrial objects of design in one building. Existing axial paths within the site context guide the form of the building, creating a strong diagonal movement across the site. This angled orientation of the front faรงade visually connects touring visitors with the local community, engages people walking and driving by, and invites visitors inside. The interior layout is arranged around a central triangular core, where light filters through to guide circulation. An open ground floor plan allows for community use within the space, bringing together several different user groups. The multi-level balconies in the atrium permit visitors to view objects of design from different angles for a more enticing experience. A constant connection is felt between visitors within the museum, members of the local community, and the city of Columbus, with the Center of Innovation acting as the heart of interaction.

NAMBE CULTURAL CENTER DATE: Spring 2014 LOCATION: Nambe Pueblo, New Mexico TYPE: Cultural Center + Office COLLABORATION: Sam Christiansen, Abby Lavine, Clark Wegner This project is a renovation of an existing administrative center at the Nambe Pueblo. We focused on providing pragmatic solutions that responded to the needs of current users, while also relating our design decisions to the culture of Pueblo Indians through respectful and ecofriendly approaches. We chose to minimize our impact on the site through simple design moments that unify the building with the site as a complete whole. With the building scheme, we explored maintaining most of the existing exterior adobe walls and expanding the building to create additional spaces. The front facade is preserved while the building is expanded towards the northeast and southeast. Additional spaces are added to invite visitors inside, including informational areas and vendor stalls. My primary role in this project was the development of a living machine system, as a natural and respectful method to clean and disinfect wastewater. This system was important to incorporate, since water is both sacred in the Pueblo culture and scarce in the region. Waste water is cycled through a series of tanks that use plants and microorganisms to clean the water, allowing it to be reused for irrigation. The living machine is visible within the reception area, separated by a wall of glass, bringing nature into the building and creating a strong connection with the outside environment.

[TRUCK] STOP EMINENT DOMAIN DATE: Fall 2014 LOCATION: Dallas, Texas TYPE: Fueling Station, Retail, + Public Space TEAM: Shraddhesh Anavkar, Mollie Bourke, Kelsi Thrasher Finalist of Construction Specifications Institute Design Competition, December 2014 This project addresses the impact of car culture in the United States. With an increase in car use came the construction of the Interstate Highway System, which often divided neighborhoods in two and forced landowners off their property through eminent domain. Our existing site is nestled next to interstate 175 and underneath interstate 45, representing a prime example of the effects of eminent domain. The existing site is barren and dark underneath the 6 lane wide overpass, creating a huge inactive and vacant space. As a response to how eminent domain took over this site, our design strives to give the site back to the surrounding community. A new fueling station, convenience store, restaurant, and public park make up the program for this project. Rerouting the interstate allows for a quiet outdoor space within the central core, buffered from the noisiness of the overpass by the building masses. Car and truck programs are limited to the periphery of the site, keeping the primary pedestrian zone completely separate. The columns from the old overpass are left behind as a reminder of what the site used to be, highlighting how a once unused space has become more enjoyable and accessible for the community.

SITE STRATEGY: In order to ‘take back’ the site from the interstate overpass, we decided to dismantle and reroute the overpass. The new overpass is pulled apart to create an intermediate zone in between the two lanes. The building massing buffers this in between zone from the highway, creating a secluded area where the highway once was. This area is further separated by sinking down the courtyard. Car and truck access the site around the periphery and underneath the new overpass. Pedestrian activities remain primarily inside the central courtyard.
| 34
BUILDING STRATEGY: The building programs are divided into two bars surrounding a central courtyard. A convenience store occupies the northeast bar, providing quick access for the fueling stations. A restaurant and viewing platform are located in the south west bar, for visitors who want to stay at the site longer. The viewing platform is raised to the level of the overpass, creating an interesting experience between cars on the freeway and visitors in the platform. The sunken courtyard allows all types of users, including car and truck drivers and local community members, to seclude themselves from the chaos of the road and city and relax in a quiet green space.
