Architecture has the potent ia l to shape the world, to def ine c it ies and cultures, to embody the ideals of a nat ion, and to leave i ts mark on t ime. I bel ieve in an architecture that is honest , beaut i fu l , and unpretent ious. Through my exper iences serv ing my community and witness ing the beauty of th is p lanet, I ’ve come to real ize that as architects we have a responsibi l i ty to des ign comprehensively and intel l igent ly . Our work affects the ecology, image, and culture of a community for generat ions to come, thus i t should inherent ly be sensit ive, effect ive, and t imeless.

During my time at Stoss I was responsible for completing much of the schematic design, drawings, and presentation for several proposals and competitions. Sugar Hill was a planning and phasing proposal for an art community in downtown Detroit. The overall scheme was to denote pathways, define edges, and create spatial distinctions through a series of vegetative, installation, and reclamation strategies. We also were proposing light projection and art installations to produce interest in the developing site.

The design of the Cl i fton L iterary Center b lurs the boundar ies between urban and natural context through the dis integrat ion and wrapping of form and program. I ts terraces are an extension of the natural context, and provide inhabitable areas of interact ion. The form breaks apart and draws v is i tors in with a layer ing of moments and exper iences. The program is organized around the central courtyard, with a cafe, meet ing spaces, exhibit ion space, reading areas, book stacks, and loft for v is i t ing authors. The histor ic context of C l i f ton provided inspirat ion for much of the detai ls , such as bronze panels meant to reference the rough ashlar stonework common in the area.

This charette focused on the integration of building and site, and how landscape influences form. The house is designed for Kohyama Yasuhisa, a ceramic artist, and was particularly influenced by contemporary Japanese ceramics and its interest in the raw characteristics of natural materials and asymmetrical composition. The living and studio spaces are separated and rotated off axis, providing varying views of the surrounding landscape.

| intensif ied detai l Rhino + digital fabricat ionThe plan of the College for Fashion and the Culinary Arts is created from 3 main planes that programmatically divide and organize the building’s layout. Where they intersect they begin to fragment, and create the major entry lobby for the school. Classrooms are plugged in along the major walls, with public facilities such as a restaurant and auditorium arranged in the tower rising from the crossing.

The hand and the mind are the most important tools that an architect possesses, and craftsmanship and detai ls st i l l p lay a v i ta l ro le in modern design. Whether i t i s an ear ly conceptual idea, a detai led spat ia l render ing, or a fu l ly - formed design, the sk i l l of the human hand and mind gives an idea character , s incer ity , honesty, and beauty, whi le technology
a l lows us to explore new forms and ideas to push architecture in new direct ions.
