An Archive of Climate Change
Spring 2025; Prof. Pablo Castillo Luna
How can climate change and its effects be made visible? The design of an archive answers this question in two ways: an experiental component of living quarters and a scientific infrastructure for studying climate change’s impacts.

A Center for Reflection
Spring 2026; Prof. Luben DImcheff
What does it mean to be a visitor? Among the ruins of the ancient Roman necropolis of Ostia Antica, a new kind of visitor center is theorized. Here, visitors are encourage in novel ways to confront the past, while confronting also coming into contact with themselves.

A Landscape of Defense
Fall 2025; Prof. Robert Hutchison
How can a building protect a landscape and human community facing immense natural disaster? Between the town of Westport, WA, and the Pacific Ocean lies the liminal environment of shifting sand dunes.

Grandma's House
Fall 2024; Prof. Elisabeth Meyer
Plate lithography on Rives BFK
After a stroke required my grandparents to move from their home of 60 years, the contents of their home take on a new life of their own. And after the move, a document of all the remaining items in the house to be distrubted became a kind of 'key' of memories.

Woodblock print on Rives BFK
Fire Forest depicts the mountain forests of Colorado, with foliage reinterpreted in a a vicious red. In drying climates, the line between fire and foliage thins, once beautiful boughs transformed into kindling for ravaging blazes.

Castellammare
Summer 2024; Prof. Julianne Hunter
Woodblock print on Rives BFK
Castellammare depicts a landscape along the Los Angeles coast, the distinction between ocean and land blurred. These rocks were iconic in the early development of Los Angeles in the 20th century, but were later destroyed by man and sea for new roads. Now, they remain only a memory.

Visible / Hidden Booklet
Spring 2025; Prof. Pablo Castillo Luna
What defines visibility? An exploratory booklet examines the terms “visible / hidden” through an analysis ahd comparison of disparate but related topics, such as Greta Garbo and WWII “Razzle Dazzle” camouflage

Summer 2025; Johnson Museum of Art
Although modernist architecture is has a deeply rooted connection to Japanese printmaking as an art and practice, this legacy is often left out when talking about the development of modernist architecture. This proposal for an exhibit at the Johnson Museum of Art marked the culmination of a 3 month internship research project.

Narcissus
Fall 2024; Prof. Elisabeth Meyer
Woodblock print on acetate
The timeless story of Narcissus is deeply connected to contemporary ideas around self-importance, especially in the academic and professional setting. This woodblock print on acetate invokes the relevance of ancient stores like Narcissus through contemporary media and settings.

This model explores the structural system of XTU Architect’s La Cite du Vin, a museum and cultural center in Bordeaux, France. This project involved a careful research and consideration of the structural system of the original building. Plans, construction photos, and other archival materials formed the basis for the scaled reconstruction.
Live + Work + Grow
Spring 2024; Prof. Mustafa Ali Faruki
In this housing proposal for the Village of Trumansburg in upstate New York, commercial and residential opportunities for prospective residents of Trumansburg are brought together and highlighted, in an effort to combat the increased dependancy of Trumansburg upon other larger cities such as Ithaca for employment and commerical opportunities.

An Archeologic Pavilion
Fall 2022; Prof. Jordan Young
Emerging from a single block of wood, a study of the structural qualities and mechnical processes of the formation of flaking sandstone sturctures in the Southwest US landscape forms spaces and cavities for imagination, contemplation, gathering, and discovery..

O'Keefe's World
2024; Prof. Julianne Hunter
Stone lithography on art paper
“O’Keefe’s World” examines the painting, “Red with Yellow” from Georgia O’Keefe’s Pelvis Series. The iconic Tony Vaccaro photo of O’Keefe holding her painting in the landscape in which it was borne serves as the base of this image and a reminder of the importance of her work’s connection to its landscape.

Aves Auspiciae
Spring 2026; Prof. Luca Padroni
Graphite and charcoal on paper
Ancient Roman practitioners of avian divination, known as Augurs, used a quartile grid called a templum to study bird movement and presence, foretelling auspicious actions such as wartime tactics or city building. In these drawings, I connect this ancient situational practice to contemporary associations with birds as omens of fortune.

A Laboratory for Fermentation
Spring 2023; Prof. Ekin Erar
This laboratory for fermenting vegetables emerged from a study and exploration of the diffusion of light through varying transparent layers. This diffusion and dispersion of light relates to the process of fermentation, which requires differing amounts of light and darkness to achieve specific fermentation results for a variety foods.

Unstable Assemblages
2025; Prof. Pablo Castillo Luna
What defines visibility? Study models compiled found materials to express design and structural concepts, such as tension and balance, to encourage novel ways of material combination.

House with a View
2023; Prof. Maggie Kirk
Situated on the end of hill overlooking a dramatic waterfall in Ithaca, NY, this reinvention of an abandonded factory structues viewpoints of the surrounding area. Views are coordinated in conjunction with program, defining avenues of perspective that tell the story of the unique site and home.

A Library for Ithaca
2024; Prof. Marta Wisniewska
This design for a library branch comes on a site in Ithaca, set between a peaceful creek and a steep slope towards a main thouroughfare. The library responds to the extremely steep geography of the site, connecting the busy road as well as the creek area into one cohesive building, following a specific programmatic paradigm.

A la Recherche du Temps Perdus
2023; Medium Design Collective
For Medium Design Collective's 2023 Spring Issue, theme of "archives" became a playground for interpretation. This spread examines memories, both through digital collaging of photogrpahy, as well as linoleum printing and other ephemeral media.

Erie Canal Souvenirs
Spring 2025; Prof. Pablo Castillo Luna
These candles, part of a one week design competition, are a souvenir for a tourism development along the Erie Canal. Each candle represents a different historically important structure along the canal that has transformed over time, this change represented by the melting of wax.

BACK / SLASH
Medium Design Collective's Fall 2024 Issue became a way to turn backward. The issue title, "BACK / SLASH" emphasized inversion and a sense of nostalgie which was central to the group's work that semester.

Summer 2021 Prof. Luben Dimcheff
How can fragments embed themselves into a landscape, and retain their legibility and cohesive sense of meaning? In the Southwest desert emerges a series of collective spaces. Places to eat, rest, bathe, study, and contemplate are carved from a series of studies, both in two and three dimensions.

How can a building protect a landscape and human community facing immense natural disaster? Between the town of Westport, WA, and the Pacific Ocean lies the liminal environment of shifting sand dunes. Constantly in flux, this beautiful and deadly landscape responds dynamically to daily, seasonal, and exceptional tide events.
