Reading Room in the City
Fall 2013 | Studio 317Buildings are disappearing in the Fountain Park Neighborhood. The accelerating disassembly of the urban environment changes the relationships of bodies in space. What was once solid is now per-meable to views. Reading room in the city seeks to return control to inhabitants by allowing them to regulate how they are viewed.

Wilderness Observation Deck
Fall 2013 | Studio 317
A valley is a natural amphitheater in which people move along contours, but where their views may sweep across. The wilderness observation platform optimizes the experience of visitors by introduc-ing new contours to the site. Sometimes these are parallel to existing contours, sometimes they bend away, encouraging new experiences of view.

This duplex is composed of two functionally independent bodies. The shell, inhabited by an artist, is a static live/work environment. The mobile reclamation unit, inhabited by a controlled demolitions expert, moves about the city, performing acts of deconstructive digestion to ensure the health of the changing landscape amidst a collapsing urban grid.

Hover House - Design for a Residence
Spring 2014 | Studio 318Based on an early model for Compressed Space - Double Urban Dwelling, this house floats above its site, supported by a single cantilever. Sunshades regulate the density and quality of light, and floor-to-ceiling glass allows maximum view.

Site Analysis - Water Runoff
Spring 2014 | Environmental Systems I (In Progress)This analysis of a fictional site in Taipei, Taiwan was created using Rhinoceros and the Grasshopper plugin suite Sonic Mosquito. The vectors were then passed into Adobe Illustrator where a gradient was added to simulate the accumulation of water as it flows downhill. It was combined with data gath-ered in Climate Consultant to devise an intervention strategy for two pavilions and an ADA-approved pathway.
