Andrew Bruno’s Design and Research studio, titled “The Homelike City,” aimd to create interventions to Atlanta’s “Pittsburgh” neighborhood to improve the housing stock in a way that did not exclude family types that weren’t a traditional nuclear family. 

The site I was given was on a heavily polluted freight railroad edge, and as such I chose to begin the design with a 5 year bioremediation plan using windrows to slowly and naturally minimise soil contamination. These double as landart and noise reduction rows for the surrounding housing.

At the end of these 5 years, rather than plant housing uncomfortably close to a rail line, this project took inspiration from schrebergartens around Europe to give the nearby public access to an outdoor ammenity.

The land is redistributed into schrebergarten plots, each to be rented out to a local family for a minimal price that covers the tax on the land and the small amount of communal maintenance necessary. Profit is not the goal.

The plots would each have on them a small hut, designed and built by the occupents themselves, and the architectural aspect of this studio is an exploration into the typology of hut, meant as a nod to “One House per Day,” Andrew Bruno’s well known Instagram account and book.

 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.
