My architecture work is about searching for the way a structure makes contact with a site. I like to introduce shapes and patterns within rectangular spaces by using rhythm and repetition. I try to make my models in a series in order to refine, redefine, and understand different structural concerns. These models oftentimes display their internal skeletal supports. In my physical models, I show structural elements of a building and internal hardware, as they are helpful for addressing the materiality of the built environment. I hope to continue learning about architecture and pursue it further in graduate school. Overall, I want my work to be appropriate to the site, but also to create spaces that are enjoyable for people to walk around and to sit down in.
