Tater Town Community Revitalization (12,757 KB)
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Fall 2013
Tater Town offers the ideal solution for a sustainable development that will heavily influence the future of urban development. As an outdoor farmer’s market, Tater Town sets the precedent for furthuring recent trends in "agri-tecture", the architecture of urban agriculture, supporting the idea that buildings can successfully produce food in urbanized regions.
Optimizing land use and inducing sustainable incentives restore Tater Town's presence as a community landmark that precedes future development within Fort Lauderdale’s urban context.

Stereotomy vs. Tectonic
Fall 2009
Stereotomy
technique of cutting solids, as stones, to specified forms and dimensions.
Tectonic
pertaining to building or construction; constructive; architectural.
This project articulates these two design processes into an architectural form that begins to create numerous types of spaces using simple constructive methods. The entire built environment can be derived from these two specific elements of architectural design that coexist to become a beautiful form.

Spaces of Lines,
Planes + Volumes
Fall 2010
This conceptual design project analyzes the design process in all dimensions of perception. Perception is subjective and can be manipulated to achieve the desired view multiple times. This project starts from the basic sketch of a collage and transforms itself into an architectural study of voids, vanishing points and defined spaces.
