final publication work; pedestrian mall highlight
site location: yongsan-gu, seoul, south korea
100,000 people living in working per square-kilometer;
provisions for a rapidly aging population; no greater than
50% residential land use
These were the contest rules for the Vertical Cities Asia 2012
International Design Competition.
Our studio’s plan uses an arching park system to connect the
site with the future Yongsan Park to the site’s east and the
Han River to the sout and west. At the site’s center, the park
intersects with Yongsan station, one of Seoul’s busiest transit
and commercial hubs.
Additional transit systems and a highly-calculated provision of
services also help make this a
sustainable nexus of live/work/play opportunities for all ages.

site location: lower town, ann arbor, michigan
Ann Arbor is known for being a bustling college
town with a vibrant downtown scene. Lower
Town however is one area that continually vexes
developers and planners alike and remains a
under-utilized part of the city’s urban fabric.
As part of a semester-long investigation of the
area we split into teams to explore design solu-
tions for smaller parts of Lower Town. Another
student and myself focused on part of the
riverfront that runs through the area. Curently
much of the space is occupied by an uninspiring Lower Town Riverfront Blocks and Park
park, storage facility and parking lot for a power Medium: Sketchup, Photoshop

We sought to reinvigorate the area with a mixed-

learning-park. As Lower Town is also known for Opposite Page:

As part of the Aviation Consolidation Project, Chevron
requested the design of additional facilities to better support its
operations. The additions included interior work, such as: new
officies, a rennovation of the counter check-in
facilities, new hangar workshops; and new external facilities
such as: a covered walkway, shaded van parking, a new
waiting lounge, a new ramp office, and a shaded smoking area.
In addition to writing and revising written portions of the report, I
worked with DEC engineers and Fenn architects (DEC partners)
to draft 3d models in Sketchup from 2d plans.
Specifically, I modeled the hangar workshops, waiting lounge,
shaded van parking, ramp office, shaded smoking area and

site location: Wayne County, MI
This project tasked us with using ArcMap software to explore
spatial relationships in the Wayne County and Detroit
Michigan areas. The first part of the project investigated the
proximity of Detroit neighborhoods to shopping
opportunities vs the proximity of all of Wayne County’s Legend
communities to shopping opportunities. Tracts more than 1.5 mi Away from Shopping

The second part required each student to explore a topic of People per square mile

Cottage
PERSONAL DESIGN PROJECT
future getaway house
site location: to be imagined...
Growing up along the Maine and Massachusetts coasts and
visiting their many lakes I have long desired to one day design
and build my own small waterfront home. This desire was
further stoked while landscaping during undergrad
summers.
While this effort is modest and decidedly amateur, I feel I still
capture the essential elements I want in a future design: a
yin-yang layout combining an intimate bedroom and library
opposite an open kitchen and living room, along with a water
view and ample deck space. The landscaping also uses thie
contrast between intimate and open spaces with a flower
garden and sitting area offsetting a flexible lawn area. I used
dimensions from Sarah Susanka’s The Not So Big House as
a starting point and chose lots of wood and stone materials to
give it an old and naturalistic feel.
