Muncie, IN

This is a design for a

Community Aquatic Center
in Muncie, IN. I believe that
individual characteristics
are each unique but with
the interaction of each other
they can enhance and
unify the community. Each
piece is unique but has a
common link or identity
that when composed
together unifies the assembly.

Fargo, ND

As sustainable strategies
become increasingly important,
we need to take action. I
have proposed a Bus Rapid
Transit system throughout
the city of Fargo with another
Transit Hub Station on the
corner of broadway and 4th
ave. Throughout my design I
demonstrate the importance
of a public connection in
the city through my form,
sustainable strategies, detailed
connections, and spatial
organization. I strongly feel that
this Bus Rapid Transit System
will embrace a RE-Connection
throughout the city of Fargo.

A San Francisco High-rise

Design Competition is the
capstone of the Architectural
Undergraduate at NDSU. We
traveled to San Francisco, CA
as a class to research, analyze,
and choose a site for our design.
This was a collaborative project
with one other individual where
we researched, innovated, and
used sustainable strategies
throughout a mix-used high-
rise. Structural earthquake
resistance strategies were also
implemented into the design.
