QUEEN ANNEPAPER MILL
The Queen Anne Paper Mill employs the same tactics used by traditional Japanese paper makers. The space developed within the site responds accordingly to create a highly efficient program.

Influenced by the process of making paper, the building materials chosen for the Mill reflect transparency, mass, and stacking. These elements are constantly in play, intersecting and shifting with one another creating an abstract form.
The wind tower is an opaque glass structure binded with wooden screens and louvers. The top floor has sliding doors for quick drying.

Interior spaces are separated by transparent elements. Therefore rooms are defined but not visually limited, offering spatial connectivity.
A rendering of the image directly to the left. The large storefront window connects the world inside to the world outside. This window continues up to the roof and travels over the girders to the tower, letting in plenty of ambient daylight. 6
urban huttwispThe ‘Urban Hut’ is designed to accommodate a diverse group of travelers, tourists, visitors and community members. The flexibility in its design allows for many different programs and functions to be available to everyone. This makes the Urban Hut ideal for community meetings, educational and cultural events, retreats, vacations, and other activities.

Chandigarh,IndiaChandigarh is one of the most rapidly growing cities in India. With the increasing population, a demand for additional infrastructure, housing and employment follows. The state Governments of Punjab and Haryanna have allowed local authorities to create master plans for the eight cities that directly border Chandigarh. Unfortunately each master plan is designed to benefit only itself. Our project was to be sensitive to the larger area as a whole, and develop a master plan that would benefit Chandigarh and it’s neighboring cities along it’s periphery. The Master Periphery must account for much of the existing surroundings, taking into consideration agriculture and nature while continuing to accommodate the growing demographic.

1 First Phase of the Project.As a class we worked on a vision that lead us to a final design. Then we presented it to community leaders and the school board for approval.
2 Site Survey.We took measurements of the alloted area for the project and removed playground equipment that could be relocated on another part of the site.
4 FoundationPouring concrete footings for the pavilion and the circular Community Garthering Space.
5 Building UpErecting Pavilion columns and marking seat locations.
6 Shed Roof Construction* Creating Seats.Seats were being poured at the same time the Roof was being raised.
Design Build Studioneighborhood El Centro de la Raza is a small school located in North
Beacon Hill. My 402 Spring Studio focused around building a community gathering space that fostered learning outside of school walls. Instilling a sense of community pride, we designed a unique amphitheater flanked by two pavillions.Arch 402
3 Ground-Breaking.Once we marked up the footprint we began to dig. Then dig some more. And finally dig up what seemed like an unreasonable amount of dirt for such a small footprint.

In recent years, the Washington State Department of Transportation has attempted to fund a pedestrian walkway that would be built below the deck of the Aurora Bridge. This would allow for greater connectivity between Fremont, Downtown and Queen Anne hill by foot and bike.
Our project attempts to reclaim this piece of public infrastructure and give the pedestrian a greater sense of space and importance. The existing bridge acts to hold up this light suspended structure that gives visual prospect to the surrounding community.
