10 11 The overall form of the building consists of two systems, an exterior organic canopy, and the occupiable interior space. The building sitting underneath the canopy has its own structural system consisting of steel-reinforced concrete columns, beams and trusses. The geometric, rectangularity of this space juxtaposes the canopy. The canopy is made up of a steel space-frame and glass fiber reinforced concrete panels. The goal of the canopy is to frame the entry points while reducing interior heat gain and providing shade within the courtyard space. The canopy is a monumental, organic form that grows out from the ground. Being the driving force of the design, the canopy solves issues of security and climate. North Elevation

As Norman becomes more populated with the growing size of the University of Oklahoma cam- pus, the need for more galleries is apparent. Showcasing young, developing artists around town is an excellent way to publicize Nor- man on a broader scale. Giving aspiring artists the opportunity to rent gallery space and freedom to create within a space is a learning experience needed in this area. 16 art galleries in Oklahoma City 7 art galleries in Norman, OK

The 2016 Central States Region Student Design Competition was held in Manhattan, Kansas. The purpose of this 12-hour long design charrette was to propose a new regional design and pedestrian link to reconnect the public realm in Manhattan with the riverfront. The Grass Stitch provides a framework of three distinct components that reconnect the city to the riverfront.

Rhino 5.0 / Grasshopper / Flamingo Rendering / Adobe Photoshop The Financial District, one of the many heavily populated neighborhoods of New York City, has been increasingly growing over the past few years. The abundance of offices and major financial institutions make this area very business-driven. Recently, the financial district has had an increase in demand for housing. Moving into this high-stress, busy environment calls for the need for a place to relax and unwind before or after a long day of work. The Rho, a yoga studio sitting on a busy corner in New York City is a combination of convenience and a relaxing environment. A few steps away from one of the major subway stations in downtown NYC, the site is extremely accessible to peo- ple who aren’t within walking distance. A circle, representing totality, wholeness, and eternity, common themes within the practice of yoga, became the motif behind the project. The yoga study is heavily influenced through the design of the courtyard partitions. These partitions consist of a series of circles varying is size, allowing light to seep through. These lights are intended to follow the pace of the yoga classes. When classes intensify, the lights will respond by displaying shades of red, which evoke more exciting emotions. Depending on the goal of the class, the lighting will vary. 36 37 Physical Modeling / Research Development

42 43 Rhino 5.0 / Flamingo Rendering / Adobe Photoshop The PAVE 2017 student design competition is a competition to reinvent a chick-fil-a restaurant on a college campus. Through transparency, circulation, and adapt- ability, this design showcases a new and improved Chick-fil-a experience. To continue promoting freshness and quality of Chick-Fil-a foods, views into the kitchen space are provided to the public eye. Being on a college campus, the need for adaptability is apparent. For future additions and changes, the open floor plan allows for efficient re-arrangement and construction if needed. On most college campuses, there is specific times that on campus dining gets extremely busy. One of the major concerns of this design is for students to know where to go, to feel comfortable, and to circulate through the space in a smooth fashion. Circulation through the space is developed around the main counters in the center. The pick-up area is accessible from both the entry side and the indoor seating side, allow- ing for more paths of circulation. The main entry is directly on axis with both ordering stations, along with the linear lighting guiding circulation towards the center.

Developed Rhino 5.0 / Grasshopper / RhinoCam / CNC Mill / Physical Modeling Partners: Emily Homan / Westin Dinnes
This project explores how simple, stacking polyhedrons can be fabricated. The three in- terlocking pieces were developed originally as planes in Rhino 5.0; as mass was added, miter joints were designed. The objects, with their miters, were laid flat and cut out of ply- wood with the CNC router and assembled simply with glue. The holes cut within the faces of the polyhedron directly correlate to each of the corners of that face. We then used these forms as the formwork for an additional object. The intention of this piece was to use an inextensible material to create an object with compound curvature. The form is created using triangular shapes laser cut from sheets of acrylic and zip tied together on the inside face.
52 53 Indexed Surfaces Rhino 5.0 / RhinoCam / CNC Mill
This goal of this project was to create a 3D object with the CNC router by milling on both sides of stock.
This twisting ellipse object explores the restrictions of the CNC router through the form’s thinness. The object evolved through trial and error as it took many iterations to figure out the force of CNC router’s drill- bit in comparison to the form. The textures are created depending on the speed of the machine as it goes through its finishing toolpaths.
54 55 Serialized
Rhino 5.0 / RhinoCam / CNC Mill
This project is a combination of creating a mold and casting material within. The choice of material is a foam mold with a concrete casting. The foam mold was de- veloped in Rhino 5.0, exported into Rhino- Cam to explore mill techniques and textures and then brought to the CNC router.
This project was an experimentation with concrete additives, mold releasing tech- niques, and form. The final series is an outcome of multiple iterations.

This bench is an exploration of different grasshopper techniques. The development of the bench relied on experimentation with how many pieces of plywood need to be stacked together to create a comfortable sitting area. The parametric bench can fol- low along any curved line input into grass- hopper. The goal of the bench was to adapt to any type of surrounding context. The full-scale mockup was produced through a joinery technique where the pieces would just slide into one another, creating stability.

These models were created using algorithms using the program Grass- hopper. Each model was derived through a code with various inputs that can be adapted and transformed creating different outputs to fit a variety of conditions. The models experiment with filtering light, materi- ality, structure, and joints.
