Furniture Studio | Prof. Charles Menefee | Fall 2017

The Coffee Table
The project began with woodshop testing of the bending potential for ply and
low-cost woods. The laminate bending technique proved to be the most
effective in allowing for arced and inverted curves while maintaining
structural qualities.
The design + build process for the final table was 5 weeks and was built using
the CNC router and hand-cutting tools. The form was designed using 3D digital
modeling.

Materials:

Brass
Red Oak Plywood
Glass

For ma l P roces s
After testing of materials, Red Oak plywood was determined to allow for most
bend and maintain low costs. The design of the table was then created using the
wood’s maximum bend as a design paramter.

prototype testing

A series of prototypes were completed during the first half of the course; from
there the design was iterated until coming to the final form.

Lampedusa Studio | Prof. Elgin Cleckley | Fall 2016

A MEDITATIVE
LANDSCAPE
This third-year design studio focused on responses to the refugee crisis, and in particular the
Italian island of Lampedusa. Lampedusa is the closest European island to Africa, and receieves
a large flow of refugees that arrive on poorly constructed boats. The island is most well-known in
recent memory for the tragic migrant shipwreck off of its coast in 2013.
There is no avenue for the survivors of the 2013 wreck, or the thousands of smaller ones, to reflect on their experiences. From these tragedies came my idea for a meditative landscape in one
of the island’s inlets; it is meant to be a place of reflection and simultaneously growth.

OLEA EUROPAEA
“Olive tree”

Plant type: shrub
Native to: Mediterranean, Africa, Asia

The design of the walkway that extends over the
water is drawn from the shape of tradition healing
labyrinths, which are now being implented internationally at hospitals, therapy centers, and hospices
to help patients cope with loss and trauma.
Along the walkway are programmed plantings of
species native to Northern Africa, where many of the
migrants originate from.

Foundation Studio: Housing | Prof. Eric Barr | Spring 2016

Permeable Preston:

C ha rl ottes v i l l e M i x ed -U s e Hous i ng
Preston Avenue’s main function as it stands now is circulation of cars – this project
seeks to preserve this important function while creating circulation for people as well.
The courtyards and passages within the mixed-use residential/commercial blocks are
open to the public and allow visitors and residents alike to walk directly from residential neighborhoods into inner squares for shopping and restaurants, straight out onto
the green promenade and Preston Avenue itself.

On the edges of the housing blocks are open lots
that can be used for community sustained farming,
also known as “SPIN” farming.
Adjacent to these are buildings intended for on-site
food processing; from there the produce can be
delivered to restaurants and markets within the
blocks or in greater Charlottesville.
The restaurants and markets inside the block are
located in courtyards with other retail spaces.
Housing is built on top of these spaces and around
them to form the majority of each block.

On the edges of the housing blocks are open lots
that can be used for community sustained farming,
also known as “SPIN” farming. Adjacent to these are
buildings intended for on-site food processing; from
there the produce can be delivered to restaurants
and markets within the blocks or in greater Charlottesville. The restaurants and markets inside the block
are located in courtyards with other retail spaces.
Housing is built on top of these spaces and around
them to form the majority of each block. 
The pod seeks to respond to the systems of the surrounding area through breaks in the modularity that
allow for, rather than inhibit, the natural flows of light,
water, air, and people through the area. In this way,
the pod acts as a channel for these natural elements.
