SKETCHBOOK SNAPSHOTS

The sketches on these pages are from my trip to Italy and Turkey. Left page was drawn in ink. Right page was drawn

in graphite.

St. Peter's Basilica

This study of St. Peter's Basilica was part of a collaborative map of the city of Rome focusing

of the layers of history. Below is a section cut through the center of the basilica. On the right is a one-point aerial perspective of the front facade

of the basilica.

Esmeralda: The Invisible city

This project was based on the fictional city of Esmeralda as Italo Calvino describes in his book

Invisible Cities. Esmerealda is a city composed of a network of streets, canals, bridges, stairs, and

landings. Its inhabitants never take the same path twice and are never bored. The rats, theives,

smugglers, conspirators, cats, and illicit lovers live secret and adventurous lives here. They dare to explore places others deem to dangerous to go.

Karakoy: Fish Market

Karakoy is a ferry stop in Istanbul. There is not only a ferry station, but a fish market as well. The purpose of my design

was to work with water on site and create green spaces to be used when waiting for a ferry or enjoying a fish sandwich.

On this page has images of existing conditions on top with proposed solutions below. The next page has a site plan with

three section perspectives through the site.

Macalester: Plaza

Located in the south courtyard near the commons at Macalester College in St. Paul. The location has high pedestrian traffic and needed a design to allow for this movement. A large gathering space is located on the far edge to collect as

much sunlight as possible.

Macalester: Garden

Located in the west courtyard near the common at Macalester College in St. Paul. The space is

extremely secluded, making it perfect for intimate spaces to study in.

Network Park

Located adjacent to the new Vikings Stadium, Network Park is a place for the citizens of Minneapolis and its visitors to gather. a flexible plaza is located in the center block to hold markets, food trucks, and other

large scale events. The block to the West has a large terraced lawn to hold movies and music in the summer. On either side of the lawn are four, forty feet long community tables for eating. The block to the east

contains aspen with moveable seating and benches.

one last thing...

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life

lasts."
