The site is located on perimeter road, next to Clemson University's main campus. Perimeter road divides the main campus from the Student Organic Farm (SOF), an organization on campus locally grown organic vegtables, fruits, and foods to students. The SOF sells produce at their farm. There is no accessible means to walk to the farm, unless one walks around 15 minutes. Our project gives a quick accessibility point to the farm.
Construction took place after Fall semester, for two weeks. A team of 4 students built directly off our 3D models, supplemented with cad drawings produced. Green was chosen in the spirit of staying organic, and keeping in touch with Clemson University’s i
nitiative to “Stay Green”, a program implemented by Clemson to preserve resources. This project has been completed to phase one. Phase one includes the Information area and stair set. Once funding is in place, a future group of students will follow our project to completion, implementing the ramp into the final design.

“Computational design methods is a course taught by Dave Lee at Clemson University exploring computing in architecture, particularly through parametric and generative algorithms.We develop models for processing information with an inherent intelligence. Our designs are hyperindexical, self-referential machines for architecture. The quality of visualization is thereby measured by the structure of these machines, not in the pixels of their rendering.”

Located in historic Logan Circle neighborhood, OneOne on 11th Street utilizes an existing two story structure of the Office of Federal Post Office Employees.
This redevelopment adds two additional stories of concrete structure above, aligning with the existing column grid. A cellar story directly above a private parking garage allows for 9 two-story units with multiple exterior terraces and balconies (averaging 1700 SF).
Surpassing new zoning legislation laws (the Green Area Ratio; GAR), Logan Circle 11th Street will feature private green roof terraces, extensive and intensive green roofing systems, a vertical green living wall, and green plantings placed in planters and the lobby canopy. Planters will be supplied with water by an exterior irrigation system. Larger two-story units have spacious internal courtyards with green terraces above.

Memorial proposed for Sandy Hook's Treadwell Park in Newtown, Connecticut, in honor of the 26 lives lost in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Constructed of 26 precast concrete panels, the main memorial structure surrounds an inaccessible sky courtyard reserved for the memory of those lost.
Surrounding the main memorial is 26 solitary time capsules, each with a light projected towards the base of the main memorial. When viewed inside the main memorial, all 26 lights reflect off of polished stainless steel panels, congregating into one ephemeral light to represent all those lost together.

21st Century Regionalism.
A Mid-century aesthetic combined with flatpack furniture, Walnut & Wool in an affordable furniture alternative using walnut ply and wool as a material palette. Currently, Walnut and Wool is in the process of constructing the first prototype.
With the arrival of CNC cutters and 3D printing, the local artisan movement can flourish by taking orders directly from industrial designers and architects. Flatpacking allows the minimal amount of raw materials and shipping to be used, resulting cost savings which can be passed onto the consumer.
Further customization can be done locally: regional fabrics, wood and ornament. These traits can make each Walnut and Wool product particular to the consumer and add intrinsic value: what we call 21st century regionalism.

The esteemed L'Eixample master plan conceived by Ildefons Cerdà has become over populated- the growth restricted by geographical boundaries on each side.
This project dealt with the concept of introducing permeability throughout individual city blocks of Ildefon's plan.
The site is located next to highway 123, leading from Clemson University. This highway is used by truckers, Clemson students, and travelers alike. This realization led to a study in roadside architecture, the concept of “branding”, and “Googie” style.
The drive-in-restaurant created by the automobile and its radial turning was a specific precedent. "Googie" style drive-ins are usually radial in form in order to make it easier for the waitresses to access all customers in their cars in an efficient manner. The plan was derived from a radial diagram that informs of the building's circulation. Concentric circles are centered upon the hearth, giving universal views to customers and employees alike. The hearth was considered the "life" of the building.
The final program cradles around the hearth, such as seating, food preparation, food storage, drive through stations, freezers, and janitor closets.
This project was completed in 2010, located in the Gowanus Canal neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, New York. This project focuses on the development of a headquarters for the Gowanus Canal Community Development Center (GCCDC), located alongside the Gowanus Canal.
Form-finding was process driven in an iterative process. Hierarchy was given to visibility, green space, and access to public community rooms and the waterfront.
