MISSIONS CONNECTIn order to get society to make radical changes you first have to show them that it can be done. Missions Connect proves to society that we can coexist with each other and nature. it proves that two different social groups who live and work together can achieve a sustainable community.

Missions Connect showcases its green systems solutions on the exterior of the building. Visible on the south and west façade are bioreactors that cultivate algae which is harvested by the tenants to be turned into biofuel that will be used to heat tenant spaces, community spaces, and to fuel cars. Wind turbines on the top of the biofuel plant create electricity for the Bioplant and capture CO2 not only to filter the air, polluted by the neighboring transit hub, but also to feed the algae. Above the outdoor communal spaces are wet gardens. Water waste and rainwater are harvested and filtered in the gardens for water closets and irrigation. The openings between residential units allow prevailing winds to pass over these wet gardens, cooling the air that passes over the outdoorcommunal spaces.

TENANT HARVESTING
One of the two social groups that live in Missions Connect is transitioning home-less. Upon moving in, these tenets are giv-en a starter job that will give them the ex-perience they need to help them transition into the real world. They are hired by the Bioplant to help run, maintain, and harvest algae. The other social group, the emerg-ing professionals, has the option to harvest algae and receive a reduction in their utility bills. The two groups merge in communal spaces, where they can make connections, network, and form relationships that can be life changing. It would be easy for the tran-sitioning group to feel of less importance living so closely to young professionals but these two groups share and understand the importance of each other’s common goal of becoming a healthy, self-reliant community so all tenants are seen as equals.

The neighborhood of Allendale is an underdeveloped community with a great deal of potential. However, it lacks multiple necessary components that comprise a successful and attractive community. Its residents are frustrated after years of promised investments that never come to fruition. Allendale needs multiple physical elements to support every day life and to attract visitors from outside of the community. This neighborhood needs a center that is busy 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, that provides them with everything they lack, and that attracts visitors and money to the neighborhood.
Through the design of the ‘village center,’ this built environment fosters hope for the future, pride in the community, and trust among neighbors, while also fulfilling everyday needs and attracting people into Allendale. The site’s close proximity to the roundabout and bike path provides a unique opportunity to promote alternate forms of transportation. The village center provides residents and visitors with a pedestrian friendly atmosphere that is completely accessible by foot or bike. It also includes pedestrian avenues throughout the development that create a walkable atmosphere free from a lot of vehicular traffic.

PARTNERED WITH EMILY JONES
Site study to find the prime location for Allendale Village Center.
Expanded street to appear and feel more like a boulevard. this allows traffic to slow down and on street parking for reatail amenities.
Progran study to understand the relationship of different amenities at intersections.
Creating pedstrian access along and through the site takes advantage of intersections making the program easy to get to on foot or by bike.
Program study to understand the relationship of housing to the village center.
Putting infill housing on the outside of our site makes a smooth tranistion from public to private program and helps the village center fit in with its context.

Programatically, the village center accomplishes its objective. There are dining, retail, community, and residential components that stitch the community of Allendale together. Three restaurant spaces, three retail storefronts, and a library with a museum element provide residents with public program that supports everyday life and that they can enjoy together. 4 bedroom homes, infill houses, 2 bedroom apartments, and studio apartments give residents quality and affordable housing, right in the middle of the village center.

At the heart of every strong community are its residents. community activities bring the people of Allendale together and provide the things they need. This supplementary program will build a successful Allendale with the potential to attract more visitors, future investments, and the strength to continue on even after development is complete.

HUCKLEBERRY TRAILS PAVILIONIn ARCH 335 design build studio, the Ruston Parks Department challenged us to create a new pedestriantrailhead and entry sign for Huckleberry Trails Park. Quickly we realized that a successful design for this project would need to fit well and relate to the other structures in the park which draw their formal inspiration from leaf venation patterns and the Voronoi systems found in nature throughout the park.
In our design process for Huckleberry Trails we challenged ourselves to incorporate parametric design tools in order to allow this project to serve as our personal experiment in the potential value they could bring to a project that had to be constructed by the end of the quarter. This process lead us to the idea that the our project could be a canopy itself that was a solid at the ground but gradually became more perforated with the Voronoi leaf vein pattern as it rose to meet and mimic the wooded tree canopy within the park. In order to create and manipulate that gradient, we used a parametric design software called Grasshopper.
For our project we made extensive use of the CNC plasma table in our south campus shop. It was able to translate the patterns and parts generated in grasshopper into the steel panels, which eventually assembled to form our project.
With traditional construction, our design opportunities would have been restricted to normative forms, but with the digitaltools we used we were able to control and manipulate complex forms and unique patterns far more effectively. Parametric design and digital fabrication allowed us to push the boundaries of design and accomplish the aesthetic and conceptual goals of the pavilion far more effectively than would have been possible otherwise.

PHASE ONE
Four years after the tragic earthquake in Haiti, over a million people are still liv-ing in refugee camps, tents, dilapidated or collapse structures. These living con-ditions have created low security communities, causing high crime rates. These unacceptable environments can be avoided with a relief plan that is adaptable, expandable, and can evolve into a permanent, positive future living space.
Basic shelter is the first priority. Haitian Hives provide victims with a place to escape from the weather, harsh heat, and a place to sleep off the ground. Secondly, Haitian Hive is designed to collect rainwater. The initial shipment will include a collapsible frame, including a floor and roof, which can be assembled by two to three people within just a few hours.
THE HAITIAN HIVEHAITI
PHASE TWO
The shelters go from tent-like camps to strong fiberglass homes that activate passive cooling, solar power capabilities and rainwater collection systems. To create an economic impact, local builders will be asked to create bamboo screens that can then be inserted into the frames to cre-ate privacy while maintaining maximum ventila-tion.
These units are made to be modular so that they can be stacked and added together to accommodate as many different living arrange-ments as possible. A small community is made of four neighborhoods that are centered around a shared outdoor space. Each neighborhood shares a community garden with the one next to it. In the middle of the community is where the public facility is located.
Tent tarps have zipping capabilities in order to zip them together to expand tarp sqare footage
Tarps can be used to span between units to create small shade canopies
Numerous tarps zipped together creates larger shade structure that neighborhoods use as an out-door communal space. Bamboo structure made by locals ot residents themselves.

The Gowanus Canal, located in Brooklyn, NY, is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the United States. The Gowanus Canal was placed on the nation’s priority list for Superfund projects. The construction of Gowanus Lowlands will provide a facility, labs, and testing area for the research of the remediation of the canal. Gowanus Lowlands is also where the public can learn about the process of remediation and the plants and animals that take part in that process.
Gowanus Lowlands activates the street by drawing visitors from different circulation nodes, creating a vortex of inner circulation at the building’s core. This vortex creates an interaction between the public and the researchers that most research facilities lack.

Ruston has experienced a lot of growth and expansion over the last ten years. Thus calling for an airport that can handle larger planes and accommodate more people.
After precedent research about the phenomenology of the experience of air travel, we learned that the most important part of the experience was the beginning and the end so that while circulating throughout the airport you are always aware of where you came from and where you are going.
A series of diagrams were created, pulling forces from the site to create the curved form of the building, allowing the most northern light at the atrium and prevailing winds at the gate. different light ques were added to the aesthetics to help direct passengers though the airport.
