This Quilt from Gee’s Bend, Alabama
was the starting point for my Second
semester project.

FOUNDATIONSWith A. Pitera
We were told to analyze the quilts
for what they were using ink on
vellum.

The line drawings were then
transformed through the lens of
creativity in to paintings that were
rendered in both color and
grayscale.

The final project was to take the
paintings and project the informa-
tion held within them into a series
of sketch models.

The following project began in the
same manner but with a different
starting point. This time instead of an
object, the quilt, we were instructed
to explore a place, the Woodbridge
Neighborhood of Detroit.

into sculpture.

For the final project were instructed
to use all of the process material we
had to develop a pod for meditation.
This is my Meditation Pod

Integrated studioWith J. Odoerfer
During this studio I was
instructed to design a tennis
complex for the University.
After selecting a site I began
site planning and schematic
design. During this process
the city’s zoning
Ordinance and ADA codes
were followed.

As I laid out the programs
I decided to separate the four
courts in to two sets of two.
This allowed for a tournament
to be held while still allowing
practices to go on. The weight
room, shower facility, and, lobby
separate the courts

Spatial ReconstructionThe library of obsolete concepts
With A. C. Martinico
e
For this project I was asked
to design a library for obsolete
concepts and things. The site was
a fallow lot west of St. Aubin be-
tween Erskin and Hale. We read
Heidigger the next class period,
which prompted me to try my
hand at creating a Heideggerian
Site model.
My Model for site began as a
collage of photos from the site
that grew to incorporate texture
and a layering in an attempt to
capture the essence of the site in
the Heideggerian sense .

After reading Jorge Luis
Borges I attempted to construct
a model of the intersect between
altered space and altered time.

Here is a progression of Deluzian experiments
which resulted from striating and smoothing the
spaces created from the altered space/time model.

Residual Space

Typical BuildingTypical Court Yard
During this studio I was
asked to design a mixed use build-
ing that would be erected near
the green alley in mid-town. The
building had to explore the
Possibilities of a buildings
courtyard and needed to satisfy
the needs of 6 fictional clients,
whom all had specialty shops in
the building.

The courtyard of the build-
ing is both a social space and
a productive space. The wide
porches and walk ways are
tiered to allow gathering
to happen in many locations,
while the core of the court-
yard is reserved as plots for
the residents to have elevated
garden space.

Residential
With T. Heidgerken
The building that I developed
ended up using the retail spaces
of the development as a means
of elevating the one and two
story residences of the ground.
This elevation of the residences
allowed each residence to gain
their own patio area, which was
on the roof of a space adjacent
to the residence.

While working on another project
I was made aware of this house on
Georgia st. in the historic Cava
Lupo Neighborhood of Detroit. The
House sits across the street from an
elementary school and is abandoned
and open to the elements and Kids.

With A. Dienes
Not having the ability, or desire, to
demolish the building I decided to
use seize the opportunity to explore
how I could improve the Aesthetic
quality oft he house by boarding
it up, rather than diminishing and
Aesthetic qualities the house had
by boarding it up.

The ideas that I was exploring during my time
on Georgia St. were expounded upon during
this project, which was to re-purpose the Globe
Trade Dry Dock into a modern Film
Studio, complete with support spaces.

I attempted to screen the views of the
inhabitants of the building through
the use of different materials and
techniques. some of the screens
are constructed out of reclaimed
wood and serve as a gallery space,
while others are constructed out of
stored movie costumes.

During my co-op for Mr.
Ziegelman we received a quick
crash course on modular de-
sign shortly before he asked me,
and the four other students
working for him, to develop
an idea for an ‘urban’ Modular
house. Mine was created using
the module of 16’ X 48’.

Our aim was to have the home be as efficient
as possible in planning, while staying high end
and modern. With this in mind I chose to have
partially exposed and elevated basement which
would serve as the homes garage.

After presenting our design schemes
we worked with Mr. Ziegelman and
his staff to produce a complete set
of construction documents for a
modular home. It was composed of
four 12’ x 36’ modules and had two
possible configurations. These are
the construction documents for
one of the configurations.
