THESIS RESEARCH
Broad Spectrum Preschool - For children with and without ASD
To provide a broad-spectrum preschool that is inclusive to children on the autism spectrum. The preschool will
accommodate children ages 0-5 years old, both with and without autism spectrum disorder, creating a learning
environment conducive to children.
The preschool will promote understanding and patience between children, and provide equal learning opportunities
for children with autism by designing environments that keep a child with autism at ease. Autism spectrum
disorder affects a child’s sensory understanding. Spaces must be designed with this in mind in order for the child
to succeed in the classroom. Acoustics, lighting, textures, and volume all change the experience within a space for
the user. Exploring these areas of design has proven there are changes that can be made to better suit a child with
autism as well as benefit the typically developing child.
Although the preschool will be designed with the needs of a child with autism in mind, development for all children
is the main goal. Classrooms will promote cognitive, social, creative and communication development, as well
as choice, order and routine. The environments must remain large enough for the children to enjoy, with visual
barriers to break down a room into smaller compartments.

DOE Solar Decathlon 2013
Norwich University participated in the
2013 Solar Decathlon, an international
design-build competition located in
Irvine, CA. The frame of the home was
built at a modular home company in
central Vermont. The home was then
brought to campus where students
worked to complete the interior
and exterior portions of the home. I
personally designed and built furniture,
as well as assisted in finishing other
larger aspects of the home.

Case Study Model: Bruder Klaus Field Chapel by Peter Zumthor [Plaster]
For this project I explored the construction and design of the Bruder Klaus Field Chapel by Peter Zumthor. This
involved building a 1/2” = 1’-0” scale model of the chapel out of plaster. It was poured in lifts to emulate how
the actual chapel was built. This project taught me how to successfully work with plaster in a way that I had not
explored previously.
Multi-Mode: Modular Dormitory Design For Norwich University
Multi-Mode involved designing a dormitory using a modular system for Norwich University. From this I learned the
constraints that modular design truly has, but also the benefits it provides. The modularity aspect of this design
created the living portion of the building, while the circulation space would be built on site.
