The event of night sailing has an expecta-
tion of control, and yet there are holes
- fuzzy areas between focal links. Floating
on the horizon between water and sky, I
was once surprised by phosphorescent
plankton, a truly gravity-defying phenome-
non. A boat is an instrument of experience.
How can architecture relinquish control so
it can become an instrument for a magical
experience?
What happens between the points of
pause becomes more important than the
points themselves.
Barrier islands are temporal. Shifting tides
and sands ensure a high variability of
experience. In addition, sprawling live oak
forests, long white beaches, rolling dunes,
and salt marshes provide ecosystems with
unique spatial qualities.

3. beardsley community farm
fall 2015 – present | knoxville, tn
The design-build nature of this project
allowed for innovations far-surpassing
basic needs. As a twelve-person design
team in the Fall of 2014, we each
individually developed an initial conceptual
scheme for the Beardsley Education
Center. My concept, based on agrarian
flux and microclimates, was one of three
chosen for continuation. As a team, we
each researched eight LEED Vol. 4 credits.
Later, we drafted complete construction
documents. In the Fall of 2015, I was part
of a three-person team focused on the
construction of an outdoor amphitheater.
Connecting down the hillside to a
greenway within the surrounding park,
the amphitheater acts as a second front
door to the education center, while also
providing an outdoor teaching space. I am
continuing the design and construction of
bench seats and permeable pavers with
an independent study this semester.

max/min competition
spring 2016 | University of Tennessee
The CSX railyard barricades the main
campus from the southern athletic fields.
In order to unify a divided campus, a
bridge branches across the railway to the
volleyball, soccer, and softball facilities on
the opposite side. Kinetic like the athletes
who use these amenities, the bridge
undulates, expands, and contracts, like
muscular tissue attached to bone. Similar
to a joint in the anatomy of a limb or finger,
a void engulfed by a canopy of rib-like
beams forms a volume of space fit for
gathering while also linking the two sides
of the railway. A second undulating line
counteracts the first, touching the ground
at key structural points which mimic the
systematic functions of a spine. The
bridge engages the existing topography
and buildings within the site and forms a
strong link.

GAY ST.
OLD CITY
SITE
FOUNDRY
“If the skies were clear, you almost
certainly paused at the gate, with a hand
on the latch, to search for the first star in
the west, to wish for escape and a brilliant
future, far away - and at the same instant
you were aware of the iron of the gate
beneath your hand, and were storing away
the memory of how it felt”
- Helen Santmyer, writer
The texture from downtown to Old City
to the warehouse district transitions
from urban to archaic. Inspired by Carlo
Scarpa’s use of path and thresholds,
the history of the site reveals itself with
an altered ground plain, outlining where
previous foundry structures once stood.

fall 2015 | a + a building
Even in a visually open space such as the A +A atrium, people from varying back-
grounds and majors tend to not communciate with each other, especially across great
distances or from different floors. In collaboration with Hannah Margush, we both strived
to encourage strangers to have chance encounters, break the ice, and communicate
with each other. Our interest in acoustics inspired us to CNC-route two parabolic sound
mirrors to be placed within the Art + Architecture building. Our experiment was success-
ful in transmitting sounds across long distances while also sparking interaction.

7. overcoming an urban barrier
The railway is a barricade dividing the city of Kraków, Poland, and the land under the
railtrack is underutilized. Situated near the Jewish District, the New Jewish Cemetery, and
Hala Targowa market, the site is an ideal location for an hotel with a bar and restaurant on
the ground floor, a breakfast and lounge, and a swimming pool and exercise room. Poland
is one of Europe’s most prominent apple producers, with cakes and desserts full of the
sweet fruit. An apple orchard will be a unique addition to the urban landscape, providing
both shade and fresh produce. I lead a five person urban design team in designing the
entire length of track, while the southern-most portion was my own focus. Important urban
design strategies such car-free roads and terminated axes helped link all five teammem-
bers’ projects into a unified design.

8. clay county heritage center
spring 2014 | manchester, kentucky
Pride and tradition run through the veins
of the people of Clay County, Kentucky. A
heritage center in Manchester would liven
a currently barren downtown, spawning
part of a grand plan to make Manchester
an urban hub with a better quality of life
for residents, as well as an exciting tourist
destination to draw more population to the
city.
The program of the Clay County Heritage
Center is stacked into four levels, creat-
ing room for a large outdoor space, which
attracts people from the street. From the
far southern end of Main Street, travelers
by car see a tall green wall in the distance,
marking the destination. Pedestrians walk
by the heritage center and see an am-
phitheater stepping down into a sunken
courtyard.

9. campus continuum
fall 2013 | knoxville, tn
Allured by the youthful spirit of explora-
tion and learning, many 50+ individuals
choose to move close to college cam-
puses. The University of Tennessee is a
centration point for events and educational
opportunities, while downtown Knoxville
offers avenues for the celebration of
culture and art. Campus Continuum hous-
ing on Summitt Hill merges both realms,
assuring the opportunity for residents to
benefit from downtown and campus.
A miniCampus will revitalize a site which
is currently fading behind a vibrant and
prosperous downtown. For residents of
the Campus Continuum, involvement in
on-site amenities as well as on-campus
and downtown attractions encourages a
healthy and active lifestyle.

10. woodstock library extension
A U-shaped theological center library
extension attaches and inserts into the
bottom floor of the existing library, creating
an interior study courtyard. A mezzanine
allows students to walk between the
double-height bookshelves. The material
of the bookcase wraps from interior to
exterior, a bending plane forming seating
for outdoor reading. Voids within the book-
shelves provide private study cubicles.
The roof of the attachment also becomes
accessible, allowing ground floor access
to an outdoor terrace.

My art minor has been my stress release
and my inspiration. I love to work with my
hands and try ideas I could not explore
in my architecture courses. I have made
everything from flipbooks, to stop-motion
films, to welded sculptures, pottery on the
wheel, phenomenological installations,
costumes, and performances. I would not
trade the knowledge I gained from my art
courses for the world. I think creativity and
imagination are important in an architec-
tural world. An art minor has helped me be
confident in a concept and has taught me
to not be afraid of an idea.
