Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
My projects have evolved over the five years I’ve been a part of Belmont University’s architecture program. If you were to break it down, I have Bounded and Boundless projects. The best way to explain this organization is through projects within and personal projects outside of school. I’ve had a wide range of projects that brought all kinds of emotions during the process, but in the end, I was always happy with the outcome and learned a lot from each one. I hope you enjoy a stroll down my memory lane!
Belmont Pavilion - 1st Year - Bounded
45-Page Screenplay—1st Year—Boundless—This was for a screenwriting class freshman year. It was my outlet outside of architecture to explore storytelling, ultimately leading to my method of storytelling in architecture.
Plaster Experiment—2nd Year—Boundless—This was an experiment done by everyone in my studio. We were tasked with finding something that inspired us and turning it into a plaster shape. I chose the song La Vie En Rose.
Water Research - 2nd Year - Bounded - We were asked to create a research facility within the 8th Ave water reservoir that could double as a museum for locals and tourists.
House for a Poet - 2nd Year -Bounded - What I consider to be the most successful project, House for a Poet, was a unique experience. We were asked to design a home for an older woman from Japan who was moving to Nashville. This was my combination of the modern 2-bedroom home and Japanese culture and tradition.
Vestige House - 3rd Year - Bounded - My second attempt at a single family home, the vestige house was for a family of four. The husband was a cook and the wife was a night nurse. The site was the primary challenge as it was a triangle with a massive grade change.
India Housing Project - 4th year - Bounded - Team Project - The India project was no simple walk in the park. We were to design an entire city layout for over 15,000 people. The homes had to be sustainably conscious and they inhabitant of what is currently a slums couldn't be moved for longer than a couple months until they moved back.
The Store - 4th Year - Bounded - Team Project - One of my favorite projects, The Store, was in collaboration with the Brad Paisley family to design a new facility in North Nashville for the current location on 12th South. My team and I focused on creating a colorful environment that kept the locals feeling like they weren't being pushed out and allowed a feeling of unity to re-enter the neighborhood.
Broadway Terminus - 3rd Year - Bounded - One of my most challenging projects, the Broadway Terminus, was a design with many difficulties. The main one being it had to act as an end cap for Broadway without taking away from its current 'Honky Tonk Highway' feel.
Themes
Here, each of my projects is organized into themes that highlight the significant details of each one.
Access & Equity
Everyone deserves to be a part of and witness great design. Whether it be architecture, the arts, or a movie, everyone deserves a piece of it.
Ecological Responsibility
Architects can do much more than many believe they can for climate change. Passive design and energy-efficient buildings are just scratching the surface.
Life-Long & Life-Wide Learning
It’s essential for an architect to be a jack of all trades. They say that a jack of all trades is a master of none, but they forget the last part. “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Pursuing every skill you can get your hands on is worth it.
Vocational Discernment
Vocation and Profession are often confused for the same thing, but a Vocation may also be known as “Your Calling.” While a profession is an occupation where you express expertise, a vocation is meeting what the world needs and what you’re passionate about.
