Tool Explorations
Our first project of ARCH 2010 was intended to help further our diagramming and drafting techniques
through the exploration of a tool of our choosing. I decided to explore a PVC Pipe Cutter for I found the
complex curves and unusual opening/closing mechanism for the blade to be particularly interesting.
ARCH 2010 | Project 1
A lot of precise measurements
and diagrams were a crucial part of
this element for the most accurate
replication of our tool.
ARCH 2010 | Project 1
Knot Exploration
In Project 2, after first exploring the spatial layout of a particular knot, we then modeled our findings using surface, mass, and
frame iterations. The purpose of this exercise was to help us focus on establishing organizational and constructional systems
and procedures. Modeled here is the mass iteration of a bowline
knot.
ARCH 2010 | Project 2
Following the mass iteration,
frame and hybrid models were
designed and the constructed
using chipboard, wood, and
plexi-glass.

Community Wellness Center
Our final design project of ARCH 2010 was to design
a community wellness center. This project was designed to
have us employ the fundamental design principles engaged
in the previous design problems at the scale and scope of a
low-rise buiding.

Star-Gazing Device
In our first project of ARCH
2020, we were asked to design
a device or mask in which we
could either hold up or place on
our head that would enhance
our vision of the night sky. I
chose to use a layered grid system of wire mesh that could be
manipulated by the user so they
could add more dense layers to
block out unwanted light, or remove layers to reveal more of a
field condition of the stars.

Unfolding Process
Sukkah City Project
“The sukkah is an ephemeral, elemental
shelter, erected for one weeek each fall,
in which it is customary to share meals,
entertain, sleep, and rejoice.”
The night sky is filled with endless stars of different brightnesses. Scientificially, all stars are
categorized into six different levels of brightness. This is what inspired my star-gazing device, which then led me to my sukkah design
for project 2. I wanted to create a grid in which
the viewer can gaze into the night sky through,
and highlights the six diff erent levels that
separate star brightnesses. In my sukkah, the
walls and ceiling are comprised of this grid,
and can be folded down or removed to create
the different layers to look through. The viewer
can stand, sit, or lay down depending on how
he/she wants to live in the sukkah, and then
choose which ceiling condition will best serve
their star gazing experience.

Homeless Shelter

In our final project of ARCH 2020, we were challenged to design a homeless shelter. Our site was a 25’ x 155’ lot located in a district of Richmond,
VA known as Shockoe Bottom. My program is based around two different
paths: That of the new guest checking in and setting up a plan, and that of
the returning guest. I tried to structure the path of the new guest with a more
directional feeling so they know where to go and can feel as if the building is
guiding them into the new lifestyle they will be living in. I tried to create secure and semi-private spaces so that they can meet with advisors and veteran
guests while also being able to view the activity that is happening beyond
the assessment. The path of the returning guest is more open, giving them a
sense of freedom and independence, getting them ready for living on their
own. More glass and open sukkah walls inhabit the back portion of my shelter, merging activities and opportunities that the guests can view and partake

Study Models
Building multiple study models using different methods and materials gave me inspirations that led to
my final model design.

Final Models
There were two final models that I
made for Project 3. The first was a
moment model (Top), displaying
only the front entrance to my building and the main meeting rooms
above it. The last model I made was
my Final Building model (Bottom),
which conveyed my entire buildings theme in a 1/16th scale model.
