Located at one of the gateway entrances of the University, the new life science college houses three of the primary sciences within the school. The site is also at a prominent location at the center of the research and science district of campus. Buildings surrounding the site represented a mixture of different styles from the different phases of the university growth as expressed in the building’s facade.

The program called for office spaces, laboratory classrooms, lecture halls, and off stage areas for handling waste. A strict ordering system joined these programs through two main corridors that intersect to create the main interaction space of the computer labs. Major pathways are linked by a smaller racetrack corridors that allow for separate circulation of public and private programmatic elements.

The symbol of 18 blocks represent the original areas covered by the Art District which has expanded far from its original footprint. These blocks set out the founda-tions for the beginning of a movement that could not be contained. Using the original 18 blocks as building blocks, ribbons are used to evoke the energy seen during the districts many events. The proposal attempts to portray an energy of the arts that cannot be contained.

The location of the DIY center for innovation is pivotal in capitalizing on the string of landmarks that runs along the new light rail corridor of southeast Portland. The main goal of the project is to design a building and site that supports the station as a place and destination for transit oriented development. The building’s main form comes from the shifting motion and activity of heavy and light rail passing through the site. The sculptural symbol of the shifting elements informs all aspects of the project includ-ing the landscape, roof forms, and environmental control systems.

Studying the book Learning from Las Vegas we were given a modeling exercise to study the space between buildings. Using an assortment of materials and textures led to an exploration of layering to provide texture and depth to the flat facades of the city’s historic downtown. The idea was to blur the lines between private and public space inviting pieces of the building to extend out and pieces of the exterior flow within the structure.

Location: Portland, ORType: Mixed-Use High Rise

The Morrison Bridgehead Skyscraper introduces a new icon to Portland enhancing the city’s skyline. The main form of the building derives from the idea of pushing a block through the borders of the river from east of the city. The breaking through the river shapes the building into a dynamic form from all angles. The connection to the ground floor attempts to create a link between the increased activity east of the river along with creating a physical bridge across Naito Parkway to the waterfront. The bridge forms an elevated park system with views towards the east.

Location: San Francisco, CAType: Museum, and working Laboratory

The San Francisco Museum of Altered Earth intends to raise awareness of seismic issues and explore the scientific and educational aspects of the planets moving parts and affects on natural/built environment. The building is comprised of a museum building, exhibition areas, scientific laboratories, and a assessable green roof, within a larger urban waterfront park. The building form de-rives from the concept of land masses converging and creating new forms and spaces. A mass being lifted from the ground from the uplift of a larger form creates the new space for the gallery and the buildings form. The uplifting of the gallery space also results in the moving of land and an exten-sion of the districts park blocks into the designed waterfront park.

Location: Portland, ORType: Design Build Pavilion

Working in Collaboration with the Oregon College of Arts and Craft the University of Oregon embarked on a design build studio. Through a series of design charrettes, students to needed design and construct a new pavilion that wel-comed students from each of the different majors on campus. The structure needed to be porous enough to encourage interaction while providing enough protection from the elements. After hours of problem solving and model making we decided on one design that used stacked charred 4” x 4” Douglas Firs and 1/2” threaded rod creating a rigid form. Using the stacked technique allowed the design to take on an organic form on the exterior as we varied the lengths of each piece. The finish resulted in a seamless integration to the cedar shingle buildings on campus.
