All-Inclusive School – Graduate Capstone Project (ASU, Final Year)

As the culmination of my graduate studies at ASU, I designed an all-inclusive school located at Northerly Island in Chicago. This self-directed project explored how architecture can foster accessibility, community, and holistic learning within an urban setting. Drawing inspiration from the site’s natural features and context, I integrated therapeutic color palettes, sensory-based design strategies, and landscape-responsive building massing to create an environment that nurtures every student. An innovative aspect of this project was my use of AI-assisted design tools to enhance efficiency, optimize space planning, and explore creative solutions that might have been overlooked using traditional methods. Through comprehensive architectural drawings, 3D models, and immersive digital presentations, I brought this inclusive vision to life.
