Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of architecture on public health has become an integral subject in the profession. This studio examined the role of aging medical facilities in a world that is changing at both a planetary and microscopic scale. The project was divided into three parts: Autopsy (precedent study), Mutation (detail development), and Procedure, which was the generation of a final hospital situated along the Lake Eerie coastline in Cleveland, Ohio. This hospital specifically focuses on pulmonary vascular illnesses with the goal of establishing adaptable membranes to protect and expand public health. The hospital responds to epidemiological changes by moving buildings and beds to stretch usable space and reorganize the program as health priorities evolve.

Urban Canyon
Instructor Michael Baumberger Collaborative Work SP 2022
This project is a co-working tower inspired by the ebbs and flows of the Scioto River and was designed collaboratively with my partner Adison Moeves. It is located downtown across from Bicentennial Park and the task was to create a tower with offices, public program, and a park extension. The bends of the park facing elevation create quadruple height neighborhoods with numerous green terraces. In contrast to this lush and curvilinear park front, the edges which face the business sector provide uniform elevations that resolve at a sharp angle sloping down towards the park. The tower is segmented into a single plinth and eight five story neighborhoods. The plinth serves as the public interface to the tower and contains the 100-foot-high covered park extension. The segmentation of the tower into pieces allows each neighborhood to connect vertically across floors with a curvilinear ramp system and shared amenities.

This project is situated on the Northern edge of the Ohio State University Columbus campus and would replace an existing gym on the site. The concept for the form of the fitness center is a series of volumes composed to allude to the dynamism of movement present within the program. Additionally, the form is driven by its surrounding context on campus, extending the adjacent courtyard and articulating a path which cuts across the site as a shortcut to class from off campus. The building engages the site by utilizing programmatic space as entertainment; for example, pedestrians can gaze upon the interior/exterior climbing wall and terrace activities. Furthermore, the fenestration was inspired by works of deconstructivists such as Liebeskind, Zaha Hadid, and Morphosis.

Short North Post Office

AU 2020
This post office, located in the Short North District of Columbus, fosters the interaction of euclidean geometries to create a form which re-imagines the post office typology as a public space for gathering and fun in and outside of business hours. It also serves as a representation of the symbiotic relationship between the post office and democracy in current times.

Blueberry Pie Housing
Instructor Jaqueline Gargus
AU 2021
The requirement for this proposal was to create a large public housing project in the up-and-coming arts district of Franklinton, Ohio. The master plan of this housing development seeks to tie together the four boundaries of the site, using them as the crust of a metaphorical “pie” where the center is a brand new townscape development. The Rich Street border has high rise architecture to mirror the contemporary commercialization of the area. The Eastern border has a row house typology to relate to the many row houses adjacent to the side street. The Dodge Park border has trees lining the edge and a new artist’s working center to relate to the adjacent community centers and the local art scene. Lastly, the Western edge utilizes low rise duplexes to relate to the low rise family housing across the street.

Glen Echo Library
Instructor Michael Baumberger SP 2022
This project serves as a branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library system. The site location is on North High Street a mile north of The Ohio State University. To the rear of the site is a ravine formed by Glen Echo Creek, which functions as a serene oasis from the bustling city. This library takes advantage of this juxtaposition by utilizing a lattice grid to create a direct path into the ravine from High Street that also forms an axial relationship with a nearby school. This lattice additionally serves as a porous edge for the library courtyard, defining a threshold while allowing for additional separation from the busy street. Program is strategically organized either under the lifted ground plane or into one of three rudimentary shapes.
