## Architecture

- [Restoring the Jewish Temple: A Spatial Study](https://www.treverbellew.com/architecture/temple-spatial-study): A-101, 2026. An evidence-based historic restoration that treats a contested reconstruction question as a testable geospatial problem, retaining every existing structure on the platform.
- [RFK Campus Redevelopment](https://www.treverbellew.com/architecture/rfk-campus-redevelopment): A-102, 2026. Restructuring a car-oriented stadium superblock on the Anacostia into a connected, mixed-use district at 36.1 units per acre with over 30% open space.
- [UDC Community Resilience Center](https://www.treverbellew.com/architecture/udc-resilience-center): A-103, 2026. A civic resilience facility that serves daily community wellness and converts into emergency shelter and long-term recovery infrastructure.
- [Music as Architecture: Performing Arts & Dance Center](https://www.treverbellew.com/architecture/music-as-architecture): A-104, 2024 — Revised 2026. A performing arts center that translates musical rhythm into folded roof geometry, terraced landscape, and a subterranean black box theater.
- [St. Elizabeths East Campus](https://www.treverbellew.com/architecture/st-elizabeths-east): A-105, 2025. Two cruciform ward buildings converted to studio housing, bridged by a new faceted connector that restores proportion and shares amenity.

## Code

- [Context_Engine](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/context-engine): C-201, 2024–. A local-first reasoning app that turns messy client briefs and site evidence into structured context, constraints, and design criteria — before any drawing.
- [Computational Layout Optimization](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/layout-optimization): C-202, 2026. Treats a floor plan as a graph: spaces as nodes, relationships as edges, and program rules sorted topologically into comparable layout scenarios.
- [Spatial Analysis Pipeline](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/spatial-analysis-pipeline): C-203, 2025–26. The thesis pipeline — PyQGIS data preparation, Monte Carlo perturbation, null-orientation and leave-one-out testing, retested blind in a separate Python repository.
- [SHOWRUNNER](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/showrunner): C-204, 2026. A desktop workspace for developing film and television projects — story bible, episode development, temporal continuity, visual references, and filming breakdowns in one place.
- [SHOW-WRITER](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/show-writer): C-205, 2026. A local-first desktop screenwriting app built on portable Fountain files — drafting, scene structure, revision tracking, and production export with no remote backend.
- [BIM/GIS Scripts](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/bim-gis-scripts): C-206, 2025–2026. Python, PyQGIS, and pyRevit tools that carry the thesis from spatial evidence through Monte Carlo and null-model testing, then translate selected GIS geometry into native Revit elements.
- [This site](https://www.treverbellew.com/code/this-site): C-207, 2026. A four-practice portfolio built as one drawing set — Vite and React with server pre-rendering, MDX content, and schema-checked frontmatter.

## Research

- [Probabilistic Spatial Constraint Modeling for Sacred Site Reconstruction](https://www.treverbellew.com/research/probabilistic-spatial-constraint-modeling): R-301, 2025–26. A computational workflow that turns textual, archaeological, and architectural evidence into testable spatial constraints, bounded by Monte Carlo and null-model testing.
- [Axial Systems in Ancient Near Eastern Architecture](https://www.treverbellew.com/research/axial-systems-ancient-near-east): R-302, 2026–. Ongoing research into whether persistent axial relationships can be computationally identified across historically layered Ancient Near Eastern precincts.
