Interests:
Outdoors, sports, computer technology. I recently completed my Architectural Thesis at Temple University which focused on Stadium Architecture. My goal was to create unique spectator experiences throughout the interior seating bowl. I designed a parametric system, using Grasshopper 3d, which determines seating, circulation, public space, structure and shading from the sun. This system allows the stadium to be placed in any site, particularly an urban context, and adjust its shape in order to conform to various constraints. The lowering of the playing field into the ground also allows for the development of new forms of spectator experience from outside of the stadium within surrounding buildings.
