Sensory Museum
My design for the sensory Museum was made around the idea of sensory balance. Meaning the idea that the senses balance one another in order to form our spatial understanding. So through materiality and massing I created a building that played with the occupants special understanding by restricting and opening up their sight through the building. I did this through enclosed spaces juxtaposed to large open spaces and through the use of translucent concrete to dissolve the visual barrier of the concrete.

Annex Connector
I designed the annex connector project with the intent of unifying the collage of design. My concept for this project was unifying the two majors through a building design that worked at the separate scales that the majors work at. The human scale of industrial design and the built scale of architecture. The built scale in apparent in the massive structure of the building and the human in the light screen that becomes every tactile piece of the building seats, tables, rails, ect.

Urban Sanctuary
Urban sanctuary was a project to create a sacred space that any person could use without affiliation to any particular set of beliefs. I focused on the idea of the sacred journey, the journey through life that all people face. To do this the buildings design brings the viewer through points of darkness and light as they work up through the building until reaching their final choice between the light of the outdoor terrace or the darkness of the mausoleum beneath.

Place of Rest
For the place of rest project I designed a shelter that took inspiration from boat design to create an outdoor space that sheltered its occupants from both rain and light. I drew my inspiration for the structure from the ribs of a boat and the outer skin mimics that of a boats exterior. Its horizontality and gentle curve enforce the main route through the site.
