Akron Technology District Project Location: Akron, OH Fall 2008

The site for this project is located at the intersection of E. Exchange and Brown St., directly across from the new home for the University of Akron football team. The program for this project was to create a multi-use structure containing 16,000 sf for retail and 24,000 sf of prime office space. It was also required to incorporate systems and techniques which would make the perform in a manner consistent with LEED standards for new construction. With this stark contrast in programmatic conditions there was a necessity to seperate these spaces for the sake of those occupying both the offices and the retail spaces. But instead of creating 2 totally seperate entities, I wanted to create something that was more connected and spoke to the integration of these programs while still keeping them formally seperated. It was through this idea that the organization of the necessary program began to shape the final structure in which retail occupies the street level and the offices are staggered on the upper floors. image.A01 double exposure of final model 3

The design process for this project began with research of the LEED system, sustainable strategies, and an effective and provacative design solution to all of these problems. As you can see in the figure A1, there is a stepping forward of subsequent floors. This passive solar design strategy is incredibly effective, allowing winter sunlight into the floor while shading the offices from the harsh summer sun.

As mentioned before I wanted this project to have a sense of continuity throughout. To the left are some preliminary sketches diagramming the nature of the form parti, the wrapping green ribbon which encompasses the entire complex, and an elevation study.

Dresden Center Hotel Project Location: Dresden, Germany Fall 2007

This project presented with obvious challenges and difficulties, most obviously that a site visit would be totally out of the question and secondly the scale at which I was now designing. The site itself was located in the heart of Dresden, Germany, a city with a wealth of history and culture. It was through this study of the city of Dresden that we determined program and our formal expression of that program. It was as much an exercise in design as it was an excercise in sociology and anthropology.

image.B01 looking along the southern facade

Through my research I determined that the city of Dresden was lacking any semblance of a true “City-Center� and that the site lended itself to being that center. It was my position that the program should be a large hotel as well as a large retail area which also would encompass an exhibition area. This multi-use, multi-funtional building would be an atractant for both tourists and permanent residents of Dresden. Knowing that what was being created would be some sort of nexus point within the city I decided that making this structure iconic and somewhat eccentric was a necessity. In the following pages you will see the process that led to the final iteration of the Dresden Center Hotel. 13

Kent National Archive Project Location: Kent, OH Fall 2006

The site for the Kent National Archive was situated at the intersection of the two major roadways that go through the city of Kent, Route’s 43 and 59. This prominent place was a major influence on the design process inferring the orientation of the two forms. To strengthen the sense of place, each form addresses and respects the major axes. Secondly, the program garnered the necessity for a clear delineation of public and private spaces. To clearly express the separation between public and private spaces different languages were used on the exterior facades to infer the interior function of the space. The actual archive storage facility’s facade is articulated as a solid, monolithic structure with thin bands of windows, giving a sense of security and importance. The public areas are articulated as open, glass atrium and naturally lit spaces, allowing for a sense of openness and fluidity.

Extension & Expansion Fall 2005

The objective of the design was to take our previously completed cube and expand or allow it to bleed out across the base and then accumulate in other parts of the project. The main motivator of this was the notion of Approach-Entry-PassagePlace. The intent was to create experiences as if one were moving through it. As you can see the areas of expansion occur in areas of passage and accumulations occur in areas of place. This design idea was intentional and in my case logical.

Fall 2007 Lecture Series Project Location: Kent State University Fall 2007

Working in concert with my collegues Charlie Able and Greg Evans, and KSU professor Jason Turnidge, the Fall 2007 Lecture Series at Kent State University is the most successful series in the university’s recent history. Differnt from previous years, we printed, constructed, and installed banners, that hung in the Gym Annex, advertising to all of those in the studio’s the Who, When, and Where of the series. For this I serverd as the production coordinator and fabricator of the banners to be hung. The most ambitious project of the series was the installation to be constructed in the KSU Student Center. I acted as the Construction Manager and what I like to call “practicality consultant.” The construction of the installation was a first for KSU architecture for some time, and remains the highlight of 2007 Fall Lecture Series.

Photography

From an early age I showed an apptitude towards photography and in recent years with my travels to Europe and Hong Kong, and the aesthetic training gained as an architecture student, my interest has grown exponentially. On the following pages is a sample of my photographs from years past. Each image has a story and behind each story is a memory that remains with me. Specifically, these photo’s are of inspirations, whether it be architecture, art, or nature these photos struck me and the hope is that they can spark something within you.
