I have moved on from a difficult
time in my life and learned the
true meaning of happiness. Since
this transition I have dedicated
everything I do to help the
greater good. A once very shy
child is now a leader. Through
the collaborative process and
my openness to others, my
leadership skills have given me
amazing opportunities. I have
dedicated much of my time to
further the community around
me in hopes that they will do
the same. I can only wish that my
efforts will change the world
someday. I am proud to be where
I am and I am grateful to call
myself a member of our global
society.

5. Definition
CASAGASPARADDITION
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us” Winston Churchill
This studio fucussed on a precedent study in
southern Spain. I learned how to define my
design gaols, create a “big idea” and develop
this idea. The idea was based on the design
of the original building: the use of light
and shadow, and the essentials aspects of
residential architecture.

My addtion focused on the separation of
essential spaces and the circulations through
each space. I am also very intrigued by the
relationship between the circle and the
square. I used these two aspects to play with
light and shadow through each space.

Casa Gaspar designed by Alberto
Campo Baeza has been described as
minimalist. Baeza sees his work as
focussing on the essentials.
His design’s focus on
light, shadow and
purpose.
7. ORGANIZATION
KEENEDOWNTOWNPARKING
“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way” George Patton
A critical emphasis on organization
was given to this project. Creating
a project binder and organizing all
of the research took a lot of time.
However the finished project was
was extremely developed due to the
attention to detail given to each
piece of the project.

A parking strucutre is being
considered to alleviate the
main street parking in downtown
Keene, NH. This site was in five
different overlapping zones;
all of which had their own
specified criteria. My role in this
project was to organize project
guidelines and materials, stay
in contact with the clients, and
make sure that regualtions were
being followed.
Spring 2013 This project was my first experience
with a real client. As a second year
student I was a bit nervous but I
decided to take advantage of this
chance and decided to lead my group
and set project goals. Our clients
were so impressed that by the final
project they asked what our plans
were for graduation in May. I was
very excited on the professionality
that we displayed and I truly learned
how to talk and consult a client.

9. Communication
SPOFFORDLAKEBOATHOUSE
Architecture has taught me about discipline. I have learned
to set tangible goals and create a schedule in which I can
accomplish and succeed. These traits have brought me to
a place of leadership among the student body. I was the
president of the society of architecture students at Keene
Sate College and I also hosted a regional conference. I
am ready to take these accomplishments and apply them to
professional world functions.
This site truly spoke to me. There
was an emotional experience and a
communication between the site and I.
The great winds coming off the lake
forced me onto the site. The natural
lighting kept me on the site. It was
these experiences that allowed me
to design based on meteorological
patterns coupled with geographical
precedents.

With the assesment of the site in mind I pulled some knowledge of
meteorolgy into the project. I wanted to portray the interaction
of wind and water. This moment takes shape in many forms; waves,
clouds, strong gusts and etc.
Pinching Convergence
Process:
Event Space
Admin Space
I focused on mid-lattitude cyclones. Cyclones
are large weather patterns that move across the
United States. As they move they converge on a
low pressure zone. My buildings reflects this
by converging upon a central axis. This concept
allowed a meeting area of different people; just like
in cyclones, where water meets wind. This concept
was built out of a long process of studying aspects
of the interaction of wind and water in different
phases and forms.
