Method Design was retained as the building science and architectural consultants for this AIA Citation winning project. Designed around sustainable stategies that arose from programmatic and zoning restraints, the entire house operates passively through appropriate massing, orientation, and exposure to both sun and prevailing winds..

As a competition proposal, this entry addresses vertical density in rapidly growing cities. Challenging the inherent imagery of what a scraper is, this structure grows from its surrounding environment while respecting the existing context. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabric of certainties and tendencies generate the way the structure is inhabited. Although a skeletal structure consisting of only minor program at first, the structure will host growth that will take on an identity similar to its surrounding context.

Street fairs offer up an astonishing diversity of wares, food and entertainment. Less engaging are the ubiquitous tents that spring up like mushrooms. They discreetly (and economically) get the job done, but offer little in the way of spaces that captivate the imagination. The souk, the bazaar, the seaside New England tourist booth, the Coney Island stand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all herald the inexpensive thrill. In the distance, Heightened Reflection emerges from a sea of white and anonymous tents, in which visitors engage in typical street fair browsing. The project builds on the squat geometries of the tents, but pulls them skyward, creating sweeping interior volumes and

dramatic exterior facades that mirror the urban scene around it. Merchants conduct their business adjacent to unique, colorful and soaring cloth ceilings. Customers, who are still able to browse and buy, can also engage with a variety of interior installations: in one, saturated red walls lead to a clerestory; in another, a periscope yields views far down the street. In one scenario a disco ball lazily spins, casting a thousand reflections, and in another Chinese lanterns swarm toward the sky. The profound interior environments allow the participants a moment of intimacy and a place of personal reflection within the vibrant collective experience that is amplified by the exterior mylar skin.

Method Design was commissioned to situate and design a new prayer chapel for the expanding garden and field areas of the Rain Forest International School near Yaounde, Cameroon. In addition to fulfilling the program of a gathering and worship space for the community, the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership required full maintaining of views from school buildings into the chapel, as well as additional exterior amphitheater-style seating and gathering space. The design teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was to utilize a single, shifting wall system of CMU fins

oriented towards a central, internal point to negotiate a landscape that provided private, intimate worship space to the interior, and an exterior gathering and amphitheater space. The mahogany and corrugated steel roof system窶電esigned with David Kufferman, PE and the RFIS Team, provides for areas of shading and entry to the chapel.

This histology and cytology lab for the University of Pennsylvania was a renovation of a twenty five year old lab with inadequate ventilation. Located on the fifth floor of the building, it receives little natural daylight and therefore this design tries to create a better working environment for the employees.

Using empirical knowledge of material systems, an ephemeral architecture can be created as a result of induced phase changes of water that develop a way to inhabit site by bridging water naturally occurring and artificial realms. Great lengths are taken to allow humans to maintain physical comfort levels through use of enclosure and mechanical systems, but the separation of temperature, moisture, and daylight between interior and exterior conditions creates a boundary between interior and exterior spaces.

and understanding of materials at a micro scale, it is possible to develop an architecture that uses climatic qualities of site to induce phase change of water. The resulting ephemeral qualities of water will alter oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of inhabited space. A climate moderated by lakes, with significant seasonal variations and microclimates provides a venue for exhibiting the resulting phenomena.

This project altered and developed TIAR Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original competition proposal for a museum for Nam June Paik, a visual media artist. My partner and I collaborated with students majoring in civil engineer to help realize the integration of the structure and the design. Spanning a valley, the museum functions as a bridge with programmed galleries inserted into it. The looped circulation creates views of the valley that contrast with the black box spaces that it flanks.

From conception to physical manifestation, this studio reinforced how to utilize a concept in answering questions of how architecture performs. This project is a result of trying to understand how social spaces can layer around an aqueous core, while creating privileged views of New York City.

As part of a community where the living situations were that of integrated lifestyle, this design consists of more than just living areas. Along the main pedestrian path leading from the exterior of this new community to the interior along the bordering neighbor’s plot are retail areas and rentable offices. Apartments ranging from small lofts to spacious four bedrooms branch off of a meandering circulation. L o c a t i o n P l a n 1/128” = 1’

The original condition of this site in New York City was a highly regularized park. The new proposal creates an altered topography that promotes places for aleatory hang out. An effort to combine the business concentrated area of lower Manhattan with the exploratory program of electronic arts was integrated through the park on the surface with the electronic arts facility inhabiting the space below it.

Using only one material, this design is created through a standardized system of threading longer skinnier pieces of foam through slots made in smaller rectangular pieces. The final form evolved through responses to various performance criteria, such as when a golf ball is dropped on it, an unexpected path is created, as well as maintaining a continuity of interior and exterior spaces. Realistic drawings, photographs, vector and topographic drawings were utilized to convey the design response.

After completing a typography course, I became intrigued with the idea of developing new font designs. From those preliminary idea of preserving the circle, Pasquale New Style was born. It is simple geometrical font that reads well at small sizes, but reads better at larger sizes. Contrasting thicknesses of these letters allows for easier legibility. A moderate x–height, long stems, and a high crossbar are all characteristics of this font.

This book is a compilation of recipes that I developed while WWOOFing in Auckland, New Zealand for six months. Upon arriving back in the States, I photographed the dishes and laid out this book. As the chef de cuisine in Auckland, I was responsible for coordinating the vegetarian kitchen, and cooking for the other 20 or so people I was living with. In an attempt to maintain a low budget, locally sourced diet, these dishes were created.
