HOUSING: THE CITIZEN-CONSUMER
![Page 6: Portfolio 2012](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bdb051a28ab2034acef6e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two roles, among many, dominate an urban life: that of consumer and citizen. We live in communities of neighbors and of commerce, as social life and commercial life intertwine. These apartments, sitting atop an existing big-box grocery store, incorporate and reflect the benefits of commerce through focused attention to a central market and the ability of residents to gain income from billboard-like screens surrounding the build-ing. But residents are also encouraged to interact with neighbors as they fill the terraces overlookign this cen-tral market, utilizing this screen as it transforms inside into a flexible framework for courtyard life.

Inside the apartments, residents can transition between two experiences of the city: the glowing, electronic striations of their billboard, or the light and plant-filled terrace of their courtyard.

Silence and personal space are commodities in the city. Libraries are publice places that provide this commodity. As patrons ascend from the noisy, open street leve, they are further and further contained and enclosed by the growing, thickening walls that in turn become shelves, seating, and private reading spaces.

The increasing thickness of the walls eventually results in a fully-enclosed cloister on the top floor, a removed and still place for writers to work and share their stories.

PARAMETRICS: THE DAISY CHAIN

The Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP) is a three-year pilot project designed to explore new forms of technology-enabled collaboration within and between the various sectors of the architecture, engineering, and con-struction industry.
Students learn to use parametric software (namely Catia) to reconsider adaptive reuse in the future of architecture, based on the design of an “element”, a module designed for implementation on a variety of existing buildings.
My element, the Daisy Chain, aims to create a framework for water collection, shading, and green walls using a sim-ple, flexible form. The double-curved surface continues along a variety of facades to bring people to their windows to garden and share a small bit of green space with their neighbors.
The module can be adjusted parametrically to adapt to sunlight, rainwater, and facade conditions.

Science (capital “S”) isn’t just some mono-lithic institution, some-thing that brings down a few new articles from a secular Mt. Sinai ever year. It’s made up of individuals, interacting and working with each other, often messily. It’s a human endeavor, not something distant and institutional.
This laboratory, situated at the edge of a large tourist area in New York, aims to communicate this human personality of science. The exterior is active, personal, and a bit disordered, creat-ing a variety of spaces for interactions with fel-low scientists and with the city.

I based this design for a study carrel on early medieval Cistercian monasteries, focusing on a sense of seclusion, thick walls, and the effects of light across robust surfaces.

LAP DESK: READING IN BED
After a summer working for a small fine fur-niture company in North Carolina, I was able to build my own piece: a lap desk designed for reading and writing in bed. I included convenient spaces for paper storage along the side, as well as a spot of a coffee mug. The entire piece was made using only join-ery, and was constructed out of soft cedar and impressionable leather to age as I use it.

The following photos are about shape, line, motion, and arrangement, captured in the everyday and the dis-carded. Chaotic flow, stylized exuberance, and vibrant decay resonate throughout these works and many of the pieces I develop in my darkroom.

These are images of de-caying machinery I found in the woods near my home. The forms of these objects echoed classical statuary in my mind, prompting me to digitally pair them with the Nike of Samothrace and The Sleeping Hermaphro-dite from the Louvre.

ICE FLOAT
Using a Roman sar-cophagus frieze as a basis for pattern and linear arrangement, a series of charcoal drawings emerged that abstracted the stone figures first into triangles, and then into eroted, organic shapes. I wanted to communicate depth and slow movement, like ice fragments flowing layers over water.

These paintings come from a series dealing with the potential ambiguity of images, illustrating a form-less folk tale. Through the use of repeated, mysteri-ous imagery and flexible ordering, these illustrations let the viewer construct his own narrative.
![Page 53: Portfolio 2012](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bdb051a28ab2034acef6e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
I have been writing and illustrating stories for children since I was a child myself. It’s a rich synthesis: nar-rative and image, working together to create an indi-vidual world of balancing direct communication with the subtleties of the illustration.
“You see, the cloud didn’t have anywhere to go. His family had sailed over the mountains that night, and accidentally left him behind (it had been dark, remember, and I hate to say it, but clouds do look awfully alike...)”
“The one problem with the moon, though, is that he really is a pretty vain creature. He’s very proud of his good looks, and the stars are always complaining about how often he asks if there’s anything stuck in his teeth. Usually, though, his vanity is harmless -- except one night, several years ago, when it got him into trouble...”
