T H R E A D

A: something continuous or drawn out.

B: a line of reasoning or train of thought that connects the parts

of a sequence.

Similar to thread, design remains the quintessential piece which

unifi es a whole; holding all things together. Its delicate existance

permeates landscape, culture, things physical, intangible, old,

new, good and bad. I believe design transcends both time and

space, possessing the potential to restore, adapt, and relate the

created back to its creator.

The former Esso building located at 1600 Meeting

street is being considered for renovation as a creative

work center. The development of this former oil con-

glomerate office building into a green, vibrant, and ac-

tive center for creative collectivism will provide an ideal

model for design study and procurement.

In response to strict phasing desires

of the client, we decided to design

a group of modular, prefabricated

buildings similar to mass, scale, and

height of of surrounding warehouses

in which we drew original axes from.

PREMISEThe market street extension, or

Union Pier corridor belongs to one

of Charleston’s most historical and

beloved point of interest . However,

this site is currently marked with

large asphalt paving and no true

landscape.

by the orginal landscape in which the by the orginal landscape in which the by the orginal landscape in which the

U.S. Customs house and old market

now reside. By looking at the natural

t idal creek marsh section the design

was able to weave the natual land-

scape with monumental architecture.

PREMISEEach home game Clemsome be-

comes the third largest populated

city in South Carolina. Because

of this, much waste and a large

carbon footprint is left behind. In

response to this notion, we created

a functional and graphic tailgating

device that potentially sustain the

Clemson experience.

Functionality is often an architectural staple

for successful design. However, the frequency

of beautiful function is often comprised. When

studying Glenn Murcutt, one wil l observe how

the beauty can come in the form of sensible

materials, ventilation techniques, and creative

circulation.
