This project represents a thoughtful synthesis of past and present, where historical remnants and contemporary design coalesce to create a unified, dynamic environment within Copenhagen’s rich architectural landscape. This intervention extends the existing structure with a new, adaptable volume that enhances both functional performance and spatial experience.

At Unity Kitchen, the architectural design is a direct reflection of Rainier Beach’s lively community. Public spaces are thoughtfully configured to encourage interactions among residents, offering areas for communal meals, educational workshops, and cultural events.

Bridges at Rainier is a mixed-use, multi-family housing designed to serve as a dynamic connector within its urban landscape, creating both physical and social bridges that enhance community interaction.

The project explores how the removal of SR-99 in South Park could be used as an opportunity to achieve community-identified goals in the neighborhood.

The building design concept was to create subtle design and free plan conditions that do not interfere with the urban fabric of the context. The urban center site is built on the south end of the hill.

This thesis examines how architecture and urban design can address the historical erasure of Indigenous and racialized communities in Seattle through spatial justice, cultural reclamation, and ecological restoration. Centering the Coast Salish concept of Dzidzilalich—“Little Crossing-Over Place”—and the layered histories of displacement across the city, the project investigates how settler colonialism and racial capitalism have shaped Seattle’s urban form. Drawing from decolonial theory, Indigenous urbanism, and memory studies, the thesis proposes a series of design interventions that re-inscribe erased histories into the built environment. These interventions are connected by a proposed “Memory Trail,” a city-wide path of remembrance and resistance linking sites of trauma, resilience, and ongoing presence. Together, these interventions demonstrate how public space can move beyond symbolic gestures to materially support cultural resurgence, historical accountability, and the future-making of communities that have long been pushed to the margins. By repositioning memory as a spatial and ecological force, this thesis offers a design framework for reclaiming land, narrative, and belonging in the heart of the settler city.
