This was a full semester long project to design a new home for the Chicago Lyric Opera. The old opera was deteriorating and un-proportional to the opera patrons of Chicago. The selected site for the new opera was Wolf Point, the intersection of the Chicago River’s north, south and west branch. The inspiration for the new design was a painting by David Casper of a glacier. Through many iterations, my team assembled a composition of spaces that cohesively interacted with each other in our desired form.

Un projet pour le nouvel Opéra Lyric à Chicago pour remplacer l’ancien devenu vétuste et hors proportion. Le site choisis pour l’implantation du projet était Wolf Point, a l’intersection des branches de Chicago Rivers nord, sud et ouest. L’inspiration du projet découle d’une oeuvre de peinture de David Casper représentant un glacier. Un travail sculptural qui de met en scène différents espace qui interagissent entre eux.

This project utilized the abilities of the CNC Router. The program was to design a flat-pack chair to be cut with a CNC machine, then assembled with minimal fabrication. This allows the chair to be easily replicated and shipped. I explored a multifaceted, tetrahedral geometry that used triangular faces with locking plates to create a multidirectional chair with a detachable back and leg rest.

Pour ce projet j’ai utiliser les capacités de précision de la machine CNC router. Le projet était de dessiner une chaise en kit sur une planche de bois de 5 pied sur 5 avec le minimum de matériaux pour l’assemblage. Ainsi la chaise devait être pliable. J’ai donc utilisé un principe de multi faces, des polygones tétrapétales qui utilisent des triangles qui s’emboitent permettant de monter et démonter la chaise aisément.

Tower Charette Fall 2013

Rive Gauche - Paris, FranceRhino, Grasshopper and V-Ray

A week long design charette to design a skyscraper for the Rive Gauche in Paris. The concept of this design was inspired by the classic arts nouveax staircase. Terraces are stacked and skewed to bridge the gaps between towers. The intent of the design was to create a promenade to optimized the space in between the buildings to be used as vertical public space. It was important for the tower to bring visitors to the under used middle of the towers, rather than just the top or bottom.

Un travail d’une semaine pour un projet de Tours à Paris rive gauche. Un concept inspire par le design arts nouveaux. Des terraces sont superposées et orientées de manière à former un pont qui relie les tours entre elles. L’objectif était d’ optimiser l’espace entre les trois tours en créant une promenade public au milieu. Ainsi l’accès au visiteurs n’est plus uniquement réservé au rez de chaussé et dernier étage mais à l’intégralité de la hauteur des tours.
