Designed as part of research to create an optimized balance between embodied carbon and operational carbon, the Roundtimber Eco-Duct is a structurally experimental welcome center for prospective Georgia Tech students. Designed as a research studio project into low embodied carbon structural systems, the structural system takes inspiration from a thesis by Dr. Aurimas Bukauskas of MIT, who acted as a consultant on the design.

Expanding on the work done by Dr. Bukauskas, variations on roundtimber compound columns that geometrically solved the issue of racking, were the driving force of spatial layout as well as the overall structural grid design, and digitally fabricated roundtimber models give experimental credence to the hypothetical embodied carbon calculations.

Cove.tool analysis shows a projected final EUI of -2.98, owing to the large scale insulative and habitat regenerative turf roof, as well as digitally fabricated roundtimber solar carports offsetting energy needs.

I am an architectural designer, digital fabricator, and Adjunct Professor working in the Fabrication Center at IIT's College of Architecture. In my position I focus on managing digital aspects of student and faculty fabrication work and assist with research projects focusing on robotic workflows. I also teach classes on digital and robotic fabrication within the college.

I hold a B.S.Arch and M.Arch from the Georgia Institute of Technology, specifically focusing my studies on robotic construction and CNC workflows. I am extremely passionate about digital fabrication and have experience producing both small scale and large scale, inhabitable installations.

In my time as a design and fabrication intern at Formations Studio, the creative practice of Tristan Al-Haddad, I was exposed to numerous innovative digital fabrication methods as I assisted with the construction of multiple large scale spatial installations as well as producing construction drawings, concept drawings, and client presentations. In my position as Graduate Fabrication Assistant at Georgia Tech's Digital Fabrication Lab I was able to assist with students and faculty at the cutting edge of computer assisted construction as well as improve my own digital fabrication skills in the school's state-of-the-art design lab.

I aim to use my knowledge of fabrication to minimize waste and material usage in my projects, as I believe sustainability and protecting our future is vital. I am a LEED Accredited Professional as well as a WELL Accredited Professional, having used knowledge and concepts from these rating systems to improve both my personal projects as well as my studio and professional work in terms of sustainability.  

In my free time, I enjoy bar trivia, carving wooden spoons, improving my Irish Gaelic language skills, long distance thru-hiking, and reading novels (Knut Hamsun and Kurt Vonnegut, preferably). I have put my bar trivia knowledge to the test as a contestant on Jeopardy! three times, winning once, and I used my winnings to fund a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in the Summer of 2024 with friends from Grad School.
