Pavilion Project, Graduate Academic Studio, 2023, Instructor: Mark Meier
The intention of this project was to create a mesh output pavilion in Rhino 7 (Grasshopper) using a created surface as the starting shape. The mesh created from the baked in shape would allow various parametric inputs including: radius changes to the roof structure and columns, angle changes, and edge length changes to the mesh itself. The project itself also involved the usage of the Fologram plugin which allowed the structure to enter the real world through LiDAR technology.

Concrete Visitor Center Proposal, Individual Graduate Classwork, 2023, Instructor: Olaia Chivite Amigo
This individual project creates a proposal for a visitor's center based around the subject of concrete. The specific focus of concrete within my site deals with the transportation of concrete, with two added modifiers being density and assembly line. The site itself reuses the existing Sibley Quarry in Michigan, given the location's proximity to the highway, railroads, and riverfront. The project uses the pink colored buildings as sculptural, but functional areas where visitors and staff might have a moment to stop and reflect on various concrete transportation methods while traversing the path meandering through the site.

Rock Tour + Impermanent Memorial Proposal, Graduate Group Coursework, 2023, Instructor: Meredith Miller
This project was concerned with researching a given rock and creating a set of analytical drawings that reference found aspects of our research. Our group researched the Clements Library on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus. The exclusive library currently serves to house a collection of rare Americana from the 18th century. My role in the initial group portion of this project was to create a texture map showcasing the "evolution of limestone" and section drawing that highlights the size of limestone freestone. In my impermanent memorial solo outcome, I wanted to build on the research learned while playing on the inaccessibility and irony of the space while bringing in historical context.

Jester Building, Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Leah Wulfman
The aim of the jester space is to provide a space where performances might be done for both the clown community and a broader outside audience while also offering spaces for teaching. This connection to the outside can be seen through the dialogue between the street and the paved interior spaces. The form of the building is governed by the two asphalt plates that comprised the 2nd and 3rd floors. At the first-floor level, the space is largely unconditioned, allowing for people to access the various food stalls, restrooms, and auditorium. At this level, one is able to see the start of the glass sheathed rodeo ramp that provides a moving spectacle for occupants. On the second floor, a grouping of conditioned and unconditioned spaces is found–bifurcated by the asphalt floor. Moving on to the 3rd floor, the unconditioned space becomes more dominant, making way for a parade of motorized and human-powered floats that cruise atop the building. The action of people and objects on all levels of the building indirectly typifies the space as one of movement. However, this flow through the space is broken or altered at different points within the building to allow for more private or serious spaces.

Clown Sanctuary Massing Model, Graduate Group Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Leah Wulfman
This massing model was constructed to show our idea of a space for collective living through using given plots of land inspired by a real site in Detroit. Our work was inspired by John Hejduk's Victims project, as well as general research concerning humor, mental health, and clowns. As the project brief allowed us to use our given plots in any way, we decided to coalesce them together in order to form a clown sanctuary for recovering clowns. This sanctuary would be able to host rodeo shows, commercial shops, and events to generate revenue. Each member of our group focused upon generating different clown referential building types (ex., hobo clown, rodeo clown, character clown, mime, etc.) to sit on our own sections of the land. In the context of the site being a nondescript urban landscape (inspired by Detroit), a sanctuary that would be able to stay self-sufficient seemed to have many parallels to the struggles of small businesses in Detroit.

Details Wall. TCAUP Group Practice Session, 2022, Session Instructor(s): Nick Safley and Caitlin Cashner
This project was created in a three-day group studio with guest workshop leaders Nick Safley and Caitlin Cashner in Taubman College’s student practice sessions. Various elements of walls including baseboards, railings, lightswitches, interior and exterior corners were 3-D scanned, edited in Rhino, abstracted in Photoshop, and re-meshed in Meshlab to produce new details for placement within a hand-built light frame construction wall. My group’s focus was on the baseboards which can be seen on the bottom row.

Happy Place. Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Leah Wulfman
The goal of this project was to design a “happy place” for a classmate using the formal language developed in the form families project in conjunction with the clients own desires. This superfurniture was inspired by the classmate’s desire for open space, privacy, nature, and asymmetrial multi-leveled forms. The model explores a formal language of misregistration, branching out from its roots in the form families project. The form is 3-tiered in both vertical and horizontal directions while incorporating both natural and man made qualities.

Warehouse Aesthetics. Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Adam Fure
A project where an existing warehouse is altered using distinct plan organizational approaches (bubbles, scaffolding) and is filled with stuff (media wares) to create a new use for the space (bike testing facility).
This one story, open plan building is located at Southfield Rd. in west Southfield, MI. This building contains a liquor store, and its walls are made up of concrete blocks with various facades (such as brick and cobblestone) overlaying them. The flat roof is made up of corrugated aluminum sheeting resting atop internal Pratt trusses coupled with waterproofing membrane and metal coping.
Aerial view of the store.
In the interior of the building, two walled rooms in the rear along with the counter space that stretches from front to back divides the consumer and merchant spaces. The front of the building has a taller facade on the front right corner of the building where the entrance is located. The Pratt trusses and HVAC systems are visible in the interior of the building and span its length.
This illustration showcases the building’s kit of parts which includes: painted drywall, granite, cobblestone, painted concrete brick, glass, corrugated aluminum sheeting, floor tiles, wood, stone brick, aluminum door/window frames, HVAC ducts, piping, lighting fixtures, doors, trusses, and concrete window sills.
Preliminary Sketches that showcase proposed alterations and circulation changes to be made to the building for its new usage.
Additional Preliminary Sketches
My design contains separate bike and media stuff gathered in a predominantly uniform arrangement within differently sized bubble-shaped scaffoldings. The items also sit between various areas in the building (such as the scaffolding and elevated trail, and within the open space inside the trail). The bubbles seek to break the building envelope around its corners, while also elevating various items above the ground floor level. The media items which need more space and height to work effectively, such as drones, cameras, and lights are arranged on the highest level, while bikes traverse on both the highest and lowest points. However, microphones are confined to the lowest level on the ground floor.

Urbanism Walk. Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Adam Fure
This pre-masters workshop project is focused on observing the hierarchical repetition of elements in the built environment. This has been achieved through the creation of a figure ground plan, stylized photographs, a 3D paraline drawing, an Actor-Network Map, and a gif showcasing a speculative activation of the space.
This is a figure-ground drawing of the First National Building in downtown Detroit, MI. The First National Building’s name comes from the FNB corporation, who were the original clients for the building. The FNB corporation, founded in 1864, is a diversified financial services corporation based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the holding company for its largest subsidiary, First National Bank. The peculiar “z” shape and central void of this building comes from architect Albert Kahn’s desire to have every side of the building accessible to natural lighting. The area surrounding the building, well within Detroit’s financial district, is predominantly filled with retail shops, and commercial office highrises.
This aerial shot shows the buildings’ positioning between Bates St. (left) and Woodward Avenue (right), with Cadillac Square sandwiched between the pair. The accentuated building is primarily a commercial office building containing retail shops situated on the first floor. The building stands at a height of 347.25 ft., with 26 above ground floors and two below ground floors. This made the building Detroit’s tallest skyscraper at the time of its construction—providing a glaring display of Neoclassical architecture.
This drawing showcases some of the more interesting qualities of the building and the space in which it is situated. It includes the roads which wind around the building, as well as demarcations for where the FNB Building—as well as surrounding buildings sit upon their plots of land. The public parks that sit nearby the building are also included. Pedestrian crosswalks and zebra crosswalks are displayed—along with circulation arrows showing the flow of motor vehicles around the building.
This image shows an alternative usage of the Cadillac Square Park space directly in front of the First National Building. More vegetation has been added to place the space in dialogue with the ongoing plans of greenifying the city. Additional retail spaces have been added to exemplify the growing number of locally-owned businesses, along with a diverse grouping of human models. The scene also showcases the possible future of Detroit with a stormy sky and water emanating from the Detroit River, highlighting the forecasted effects of global warming in the state.
Room Drawing. Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Adam Fure
This pre-masters workshop project dealt with observing the spaces and objects within my home. These observations informed the production of plans, elevations, ANT maps, diagrammatic graphic compositions, and gifs.
My room sits on the ground floor of a ranch style home and is accessed by a shared hallway that bisects the home lengthwise. My room contains a single five foot wide window that is elevated approximately three feet off the ground. Directly under the window lies a desk containing a laptop, plant, wireless mouse, desk lamp, cup, drink coaster and mousepad. Opposite to the window, a pile of various books, unused clothes, and shoeboxes rests on the floor between the bed and upturned shelf. To the right, a small tv stand holds a single electric toothbrush. At the middle left, a bed can be seen, while on the right, a small closet is recessed into the wall. The ceiling light can be seen in the center of the room.
My room contains an upturned half of a dresser unit that has been repurposed to hold an electric shaver, book collections, and electronic devices. In the foreground, the aforementioned pile of books and other items is seen in the foreground. To the right of the dresser and pile, the tv stand can be seen housing aftershave, shoeboxes, and noise canceling headphones.
This organizational diagram highlights the circulation line and lines of symmetry in the space, and also the private (darker orange) and functional zones. One line of symmetry runs lengthwise through the bed and dresser, while the other divides the space between the two.
This illustration consists of five distinct lines. The private zone line lies in the lower left corner, while the dashed symmetry lines can be seen directly above it. The circulation line is shown as a thicker, dashed line with arrowheads on either side. The outer line of the room that demarcates its space has a scalloped texture with thick end caps. The symmetry lines are made into irregularly dashed lines with different end caps on either end with asterisks on the top and triangles on the bottom. The private space line becomes a series of spheres, while the circulation line becomes a wide dashed line.
The illustration’s blocksfrom the previous section have been extruded to multiple heights—with the right and bottom being the least extruded to the top left being extruded the furthest. In the top left, a rotated asterisk extrusion can be seen, while in the top right, a grid-like pattern created by the intersection of lines can be seen. The density of the form is at its peak in the top portion, and differs from the sparsely populated bottom/middle portions.
Three sides of the form are walled in by similarly sized extrusions. The on the right side contains internal bored holes within its grid like structure. The rotated asterisk is fused with the extruded dashed lines, creating a large wall-like form in the top left corner. The lowest extruded form in the bottom left—along with the other extrusions on either side of it create an interior void, punctuated by the piped original lines that run underneath the structures.
This view shows the former private area, marked by a piped section on the floor. The front wall is made of thicker and thinner vertical components—extruded dashes and a large asterisk. The extruded dashed line bisects the bed and runs between the dressers and bed space.
Room Composite Drawings. Individual Graduate Classwork, 2022, Instructor: Adam Fure
This pre-masters workshop project is centered around the observation of the built environment. Interior spaces and windows are created through the carving out of space in the cube's form through ellipsoidal and rectangular forms.
The isometric view reveals that the cubic form’s core has been extracted by an ellipsoid shape compressing its center from below—creating an interior space. The material on the frontmost face of the cube has been subtracted by a truncated, polygonal form—creating a doorway. The vertices of the cube on either side have been punctured by a rectilinear form resulting in windows.
The elevation view highlights the rectangular window while also allowing a glimpse of the oval-shaped doorway. The domed ceiling created by the ellipsoid shape is visible in the outline of dashed lines.
The section view showcases the thickness of the structure’s walls, the balcony created by the rectangular form, and the arched ceiling created by the intersection of two varied geometrical forms. Further back, the interior wall of the structure is visible.

Letter Space Study, Undergraduate Individual Classwork, 2019, Instructor: Jono Sturt.
In my work, titled “Letter Space Study”, I created an architectural space, reminiscent of a large building within Rhino 6. This was achieved through iteratively altering a 360”x 360” cube while using the Old English Text font as a cutting object. I created three spaces (large, intimate, and transitory) through using these letters and shapes. This project also used the Adobe Creative Suite.
This image showcases the subtleties of the Old English MT font. This font was used to inform the architectural spaces that would be made through incorporating these unique font characteristics.
