Wave of Consequence The Arc Spatial Pilgrimage Contents
Wave of Consequence
The Wave of Consequence is a museum in Chicago’s Lincoln Park between the North Pond Sanctuary and Lake Michigan. This project seeks to exhibit the history of Chicago’s architectural innovations while highlighting the cost of such structures. Tasked with creating a museum dedicated to the history of Chicago’s built environment, this project understands that this environment has been less than equitable in its urban condition.

Location: Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois
Fourth Year Project
Professors : Rob Whitehead and Rod Kruse
The building’s waved roof leads visitors through a stimulating sequence of contrasting volumes while creating a central compression space that houses the exhibits geared towards these consequences and disparity

This space is flanked by the larger volumes that house the exhibits designated for the innovations and grand gestures of the city. The sequence from large to small to large offers an initial look into the built environment, an insight into the cost, and a final informed view of a large grand space once again.

The Arc
Located along the Highline Park in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, The Arc is a residential project that observes a harmful urban condition and seeks to remedy it. This condition is the increasing gentrification surrounding the Highline and the disconnection these new residences have from the public space. The spectacle and proliferation of the Highline is an opportunity to rethink what a new residential project in the neighborhood could look like. The manifesto images below illustrate this observation and possibility.

Spatial Pilgrimage
Spatial Pilgrimage is a project that asks how architecture can interact with the rituals of the human experience. More specifically, the project started with the idea of creating a space that reflects what it means to process negative emotions, trauma, and anxiety. This is reflected in its sequence of space. First, the occupant is greeted by darkness and a gentle decline into the narrow passage. With no view of the exit, they pass through the structure beneath the thin slice of light guiding them through. Eventually, the light at the end of the tunnel guides them back to the surface. Inspired by the nearby river, our ship-like structure is made of corten steel to compliment the earthy tones of the Iowa river basin in March.
