ALIGNING PERSPECTIVE
This design project had us travel down to Green River UT
and each choose one of the 6 moments of pause along
a proposed trail system. Transitioning to a group project,
we designed and built a bench for our moment of pause.

This was a group project for a parametric sunscreen located at
the outdoor patio of Nobrow Coffee Werks in South Salt Lake City.
We began our development with parametric studies of letter
prints, and then proceeded to a precedent study and site analysis.

After site analysis we began developing parametric modules
that our sunscreen would consist of. Our main goal was to create
a maneuverable module that would allow light to pass through
or block the sunlight, whichever was the user’s preference.

Our final solution was a steel grid wall with
wooden boxes in each square grid. The
boxes were essentially a hollowed out
cube cut at opposite ends with metal
attachmentsonthetopandbottomthat
could swivel back and forth depending
on how much sunlight was wanted.

The final project of my first year of architecture school consisted of
a trip to Chicago’s Chinatown where we visited and documented
our site. Right next to an elevated train stop, it was a very unique site
with the high-line and low commuter train bounding it on both sides.
While visiting the site, I found
there was a disconnection
with Chinatown and the area
past the trains. There also
was a glaring lack of public
rest areas. My concept was
enhancementofpublicspace
andconnectiontocommunity
through perspective.

9. WRITER’S RETREAT - MINIMALIST DWELLING
For this project, we were required
to design a writer’s dwelling in
Lakeview, Montana. We visited
the site and individually chose
where each of our small cabins
would be located. With the
total square footage of 200 we
were limited in the amount of
space that was designable. This
made us think deeply about
specific details and commodities
we wanted to incorporate.
ProcessSketches Myconceptwasaperviousbarrier.I
wanted the writer to feel protected
and warm while still allowing ample
amounts of light inside. I lined the
southern face with high-ceiling
windows. I also provided a cozy
loft where the writer could climb up
to and view the surrounding area
in all different directions. A central
fireplacemadethe200square-foot

10. LAKEVIEW LIBRARY - WRITER’S LIBRARY
Our final project of my third semester was located near the same site
as the writer’s dwelling in Lakeview, Montana. We were given the task
of designing a writer’s library for groups of writers that travel up there
to get away from the city. It was important that we put the needs and
wants of the writers first when developing our design. My concept
developed into this idea of nodes and pulling people in from the
high areas of traffic and then back outside to the beautiful scenery.
I began the programming by
dividing the building into public,
semi-private and private space.
I decided to detach the faculty
space and place it on the south
side of the site to provide shade
for the terraced exterior patio.
The interior consists of a large
communal gathering with separate
smaller rooms for writing and group
reading activities. I also chose to
have a cafe on the bottom level
for the use of the whole town.
11. The exterior consisted
of horizontal mahogany
wood ship lap siding, and
flat fieldstone. I wanted to
give the writers the best
views possible from the site,
and I believe I succeeded
in providing them with a
comfortable environment
to read and release their
thoughts into writing.

TheCosmicRayCenter,ownedby
the Univeristy of Utah is a science
facility which studies cosmic
rays as they come through the
atmosphere. Located in Delta
UT, the program has placed
receivers over a 500 SM area
which collect data for the cosmic
rays coming towards earth.
In desperate need of a better and bigger facility, our task was to
design a working and living facility which could accomodate 20
poeple at a time comfortably. These scientists travel from all over the
world to come do research and further our knowledge in the field. It
was important we respect the town of Delta as well becuase our site
was located on the edge of town and passed by travelers daily. The
program included a visitor center for interested people and a large
lecture hall which was designated as public for the town to use also.
