About Dave

Contact Information

I was born and raised in Phillipsburg, NJ and graduated with High Honors from Phillipsburg High School in 2010. I will be graduating from the Stuckeman School of Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University in May. The past two summers I worked at Jay Madden Architect on Long Beach Island, NJ where I learned valuable information on how a firm operates and designs in the profession. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, surfing, and maintaining a tomato garden. I have wanted to be an architect since I was five years old and my goal out of college is to become a licensed architect as soon as possible.

7 Person Group Project for a Materials Class (2 Weeks) Design and Build a Structure with Wooden Block Components

The idea is to have the structure completely suspended from the ceiling in order to create a private lounge space that overlooks studio. We accomplished this by designing a custom clamp that was strong enough to hold the structure of the clubhouse that could occupy 8-10 people.

To conserve farming land by designing a facility that allows for plants to grow vertically rather than horizontally. The building is designed to maximize sunlight to the plants through designing a rotating crop machine. The building is built into the hill and the program that does not require direct sunlight is under the plant-growing machines.

Solo Studio Project (4 weeks)

Residence, Exhibition Space

The site is located behind a vacant factory and the idea is to show deindustrialization in the form of architecture. The building closest to the factory has heavy concrete like the heavy machines of old, and as the further away from the factory the building slowly evolves into a light-weight and high-tech metal and glass.

3 Person Group Studio Project

Track Facility, Shopping Mall, Cultural Center

The group came up with the concept of weaving the 3 programtic elements with one another and also weaving the site back into the city of Rome because the site sits outside the old city walls of Rome. The Site sits on top of a Parking Garage where we played with the topography of the land to allow easier access to the garage while also guiding the visitors from one place to another.
