This is a selection of my work which demonstrates my aptitude to resolve design problems through contextually appropriate processes. In all of the work I do, I balance learning and exploration with a skill set that I have developed over the course of my diverse professional and educational experience. I am very interested in systems and processes that compose a city, and I want to work within existing systems to create new hybrid systems that can be used for social benefit. I am inspired by processes that empower those most marginalized by today’s environment, in particular, ones which strive to give citizens agency to shape their own futures. I am fascinated by the way the designed environment is put together, and the use of the technical and the engineered to address design challenges ad financial and technical constraints, through construction methods and material choices. It is my goal to work in a context that will deepen my understanding of the ways cities are made, and strengthen my capacity to engage in processes that give citizens agency to make more equitable and beautiful cities. alexander froehlich bachelor of architecture 2013 // university of oregon alexpfroehlich@gmail.com // 415.672.5948

“The city is ‘man’s most consistent and on the whole, his most successful attempt to remake the works he lives in more after his heart’s desire. But, if the city is the world which man created, it is the world he is henceforth condemned to live. Thus, indirectly, and without any clear sense of the nature of his task, in making the city man has remade himself.” [Robert Park, in Rebel Cities by David Harvey]

portland build agency This project investigates the use of scalable democratic processes to create more equitable and civil cities that more accurately reflect the lives and needs of all of its citizens. Current means of city-production give citizens very little opportunity to affect the shapes of the places they live in. This results in many communities with unmet needs and untapped potential. A facility that combines design-build construction with community design process can empower residents to change the places they live through the creation of resilient, socially-responsible infrastructure. The dissemination and scaling of these citizen-oriented processes will recast the city as a stage for the creativity and productivity of its residents.

society of the spectacle
â€œâ€Śthe vicious and iterative cycle, in which insecure and unrooted individuals make insecure and unrooted cities, which make even more insecure and unrooted individuals was generations in the making and will be generations in the undoing. Shifts that disrupt the unhealthy cycle are essential. This is the great challenge of our time. [Randy Hester, Design for Ecological Democracy]

the production of products and processes The primary issues that this project addresses are the negative effects of global-capitalist infrastructure development on the cities and spaces we inhabit; both systemically, in terms of who is making decisions about our cities, and the symptoms, in terms of the effects of this on the citizens. A strategic response will build projects with social responsibility, while giving citizens the ability to do it themselves. Increasing the capacity of residents to change their cities will change the prevailing system by which cities are built. Producing unique design-build projects will directly answer unmet needs and untapped community potential. Projects may include: buildings, parks, roads, tools, organizations, art, ecology, and events.
why space?
“Design’s real power is that it makes relationships and divisions between people concrete. Without physical stuff to remind us of how we supposedly differ from one another, our hierarchies would be awfully ramshackle; stripped of our possessions, categories like “class” start to look like just a bunch of learned behaviors and confused ideas...otherwise everyone’s claims of superiority and difference would be quite literally immaterial.” [Colin McSwiggen, Jacobin Magazine]

a scalable production process Connect, empower, make, and sustain are the four steps of a process that are applied iteratively by a community or group of stakeholders to produce scalable solutions for places in need. The architecture must support: collaborative identification of needs [connect], training for residents to make projects happen [empower], the tools and space to produce projects [make], and finally, resources to facilitate projects’ growth [sustain]. life systems life systems life systems housing and exporting a process sustainability sustainability sustainability health health The architecture for production, as well as the projects themselves, must be scalable so that production can begin with low up-front investment, and projects’ effects can be immediately felt. This flexibility allows for accommodation of unforeseen changes during the life of a project or process, and ensures the strongest long-term outcome. Through this adaptability, a community could be assisted in the construction of one project [addressing symptom], then invest in tools and a space to build more projects, eventually building a local economy around the long-term production of local infrastructure [addressing system].

capitalism and the common good For this project, I designed a process of community engagement by which our team asked houseless citizens in Eugene where our design and construction services would be most beneficial. We received a grant from the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, to examine notions of “capitalism and the common good� in relation to design services for local houseless individuals. Our findings revealed that while minimum standards of human survival [food, emergency shelter, clothing, etc.] are available, there is little to no opportunity for the learning, production and pedagogy that lets citizens take their futures into their own hands. We partnered with Opportunity Village Eugene to design a trailer that will provide space, tools and programs for individuals to learn and practice skills that they can use to affect their own transition.
what exists, and what is really missing “You’d need to be deaf dumb and blind to go hungry in this town - I don’t have trouble finding food or shelter. But getting herded around from feed to feed, I feel like a cow. I need something to feed my brain.” - Anonymous Participant at community meeting, First Christian Church, Eugene

seeking non-traditional solutions on a non-traditional path While the concept of universal rights to things like higher education, house ownership, free enterprise and healthcare are usually well-intended, the effect of these high standards is often to marginalize those left behind. We wanted to be conscious participants in an active and contested debate happening across the United States with regards to houseless issues. We wanted to learn what those living on the street thought we should design, rather than prescribing a solution for them. We hypothesized that an informed, humble and collaborative process would be the most effective in producing respectful and truly positive architecture
principles
my verbal introduction at our first community meeting
collaboration:
“we will explore and demonstrate the value of engaging in collaborative processes, this includes all steps of the process, from identifying needs, to construction.”
leadership:
“we will document and share our process, so that others might learn from our example and repeat a successful project with different clients and needs.”
innovation:
“while needs exist, they are not without some solutions. we will focus on the needs we are most capable of meeting, not just the loudest or most prevalent.”
play to our strengths:
“we are designers, not service providers, food distributers or defense lawyers. the needs and goals we will address will be ones which we in a position to meet.”
respect:
“in a way, simply by saying that divisions exist, one is reinforcing those divisions. we are looking for solutions which improve life for all citizens of eugene.”
visibility:
“meaning, mainly, that the effect of any product can be maximized by sharing it with the world; teach people a little bit about something they don’t know.”
defining objectives learning from citizen experts Setting objectives began with identification of problems, analyzing what we learned, and then sharing our understanding back to houseless citizens, at numerous public meetings. We collaborated with non-profits throughout this process to learn from their experiences, and used a wide variety of strategies to solicit information and ideas about what we should build, from experts and citizens, through printed and broadcast journalism, as well as formal and informal media. We learned from demonstrated success stories and processes, through research, and firsthand from people like Teddy Cruz, Randy Hester, and Sergio Palleroni.

built // construction and project manager for 10-person team // collaborative design-build project // design media, client collaboration, construction
small farmers project tractor shed This was a project with a simple program, though the design challenges of the implicit program and the project requirements necessitated a vast array of strategies to realize into a cohesive whole. The first challenge was developing strategies of collaboration, both between team members and with a client group who spoke little English. The design process was one of exploring appropriate media to test options against our design metric, as well as to communicate with the client. While the basic agricultural program was simple, other objectives were added to make the project a successful response to all of our clients’ explicit and implicit needs. Primary in this list was the need for the project to be deconstructable when they want to relocate to a larger farm in the future. Other goals included: an adaptable and flexible construction method, intuitive deconstruction, provision of a multi-generational “third space,� site repair, and efficiency in material and budget. This project is both simple and complex, in the large number of design objectives met through honest, transparent and clear architecture.
the small farmers project The Small Farmers Project is an organic berry growing farm cooperative. The cooperative is made up of seven Latino families with more than 40 members in total, both young and old. They hail from as close as Mexico and as far away as Peru. The farm needed an attractive and functional space to clean, package, store, and vend their berries, and with help from Huerto de la Familia and Heifer International, the farmers raised $5,000 to do so. Our team saw ourselves as enablers of their future goals to be an independent and viable farming collective. We asked ourselves: how can our project serve them now, and in the future as they grow? How does this project enable them as an organization? How does this project speak to who they are? These questions served as the metric we used to gauge our decisions and iterations as we moved through the project.
process strategies
client collaboration
Finding appropriate media to communicate with the farmers was fundamental when working with a client from a different background, who spoke a different language. The development of our understanding of the project grew along with a trusting, familial relationship between team members and the farmers and their families, as formal design charrettes evolved into after-work picnics and parties.
process strategies
team collaboration
As a large team, with a wide array of skill sets and experience, organizing into roles and smaller task forces let us find the most efficient path forward and become a close team of friends moving into construction. After collaborating on a metric to evaluate our decisions, we found ways to present diverse ideas and to evaluate their merits equally. This strategy was done primarily through the construction of study models, but evolved into detail drawings and full-scale mockups.

construction strategy
building for disassembly
The project was prefabricated by component part, and assembled in the same sequence in which it will one day be disassembled. Strategies for this process include: designing all pieces small and light enough for two people to carry, using trusses as modular rafter system rather than spanning elements, improving on standard precast concrete methods to create a modular foundation system, and involving the client in the construction process to familiarize them with the components of the building before they engage in disassembly.
design tactics
building for disassembly
Working within the vernacular of the agricultural surroundings, we developed a number of practical design strategies. These included flood plain mitigation through a gravel “piano nobile,� making all posts and wall elements interchangeable for future flexibility and expansion, soliciting material donations, learning from experts in various construction fields, and leaving some elements flexible to change after construction commenced, such as cross bracing, and footing details.

greg stallings construction This is a mid-sized design-build company, where I fill multiple roles of project manager, designer, estimator, and assist with other elements of company administration. I brought a number of the technical and managerial skills I had acquired from designBridge to the firm. As a Project Manager, my work depends on clear communication and honest leadership to effectively coordinate internal and external parties. Management is also responsible for allocating resources, and arriving at quick solutions to unforeseen design challenges, frequently with little notice. Technically, my experience with presentation and production media, budgeting and design tactics were of great benefit to a fast-paced and production-oriented company. My knowledge and experience with a wide range of construction materials and methods was crucial in working closely with foremen to find creative solutions to onsite problems This family business has over 30-years of expertise in a specialized vernacular construction method. Although I have gained valuable technical experience, I have also learned important “soft� skills pertaining to creating a familial and supportive workplace. , It has been inspiring to be a part of a team that values good work ethics and integrity.
project management tactics Developing relationships with clients and subcontractors, coordinating timelines and schedules, making decisions based on changing understanding of project and employees’ skills. Building off of established expertise and sharing implications with clients. Understanding order of operations and the ramifications on budget, timelines and schedules. Assessing what information to provide when and to whom. developing relationships with clients
representing and advocating for the client with subcontractors and material suppliers throughout design and construction phases
developing construction timelines for in and out of house labor, coordinating schedules with other subcontractors
construction tactics Specifying, ordering, and inspecting materials, deciding what to build in-house and what to bid out. Design and fabrication of custom metal, working with expert craftspeople, balancing experimentation with proven methods, knowing when to trust others to make decisions. Finding a balance between aesthetic, functional, and financial decisions. Understanding design opportunity, respecting and learning from others. in-house design and fabrication of custom iron railing

media tactics [external]
as part of bidding process Being able to quickly turn out an image that conveys schematic design is a valuable tool, particularly when working with clients who don’t feel comfortable with orthogonal drawings. Finding the right solution for a client is greatly assisted by showing the building in context, or walking through it. 3d modeling systems are also a critical asset in creating accurate material take-offs for bidding a project, as well as for ordering materials after the project has begun. My ability to generate quick, functional models has greatly improved the efficiency of our building process.

for design development Visual media is a tool in the construction process that can speed up decisions and improve mutual understanding. This may mean only telling the part of a story that is important [as to a client, a subcontractor, or city official]. I have also used it to work iteratively with a client to discover a project’s goals, or which aspects of the design we want to focus on. I have used it as a tool when communicating with banks and appraisers, to demonstrate project value.
media tactics [internal]
for construction administration I brought the use of contemporary computer media to the firm as a tool for the construction phase of the project. It is now in use in the office, remotely and in the field. Modern media allows me to share timely information with our project foreman, including construction sequencing, critical dimensions, or the implications of a design change. Sending this wirelessly saves time on site visits, and allows timely decisions to be made by all stakeholders.

budgeting in project management and bid phases This is one of the tools that guide the construction process, frequently continuing after the client has signed the contract. Budgeting tactics are used throughout planning and construction stages to produce the best value for our client, particularly when presenting different project options. I created a new bidding system in Microsoft Excel, which greatly reduced the time it takes to produce project bids, allowing us to spend more time designing and pricing various options for clients.
perspective views of two-foot and three-foot eaves
description: The building eave, as currently designed, consists of a 2' eave, framed with 2x6 lumber and ACX plywood, painted to match the brown trim of the house.
changes: In the interest of maximizing architectural intrigue to the building's guests and residents, this proposal is for the
strategic use of naturally-finished, high-quality lumber to highlight the undersides of the 5,340 square feet of roof.
- Additional eave depth will compliment the tall walls of the structure, which vary from 18' at the shortest, to 40' at the tallest. With these wall heights, a 3' overhang will give a more favorable proportion to the facade of the building, particularly at building entrances, as well as the peaks of the loft and great room shed roofs.
- Switching the roof sheathing material from ACX plywood to T111 will give the appearance of a tounge & groove soffit, a traditional technique in the Pacific Northwest, bringing a finer grain of detail to these upper corners of the building. - Natural finish will highlight this strategic use of wood finish material, and give a fine border to the metal roof and walls of the strucutre. While the home is clearly wood-framed in its massing and profile, a clear-coated finish over cedar lumber will securely anchor this structure in the Northwest vernacular .

design synthesis
design tactics Building a house to follow the sun and withstand the seasons, leaving space for future elevator, creating a grand entrance without deviating from efficient construction system, breaking up tall facade with wrap-around deck, separating guest space from master suite, opening up a vaulted common space [comfortable for two, accommodating many], using concrete, metal roofing, and deep overhangs to protect from weather and the forest canopy, tucking an efficient kitchen into great room.
the north fork cabin This is a project for an adventurous couple looking to retire in a place that gives them privacy, dramatic beauty, and easy access to Oregon’s fishing and wildlife. The site is located in a second-growth Douglas-Fir forest on the north fork of the Willamette River, a scenic treasure with some of the best fly fishing in the country.

The client asked for a large ground-floor storage area for recreation equipment [skis, boats, and fly-tying workshop], a master suite and guest quarters, and generous common areas for entertaining friends and family. The site is densely forested, with the long edge running east-west against the river’s edge. There is substantial grade change from the road to the home site, before falling dramatically at the river.

crafting flexibility Integrating an established system of construction into a process of design, budgeting, and responsive construction administration can produce an efficient, flexible, and superior solution for any client’s needs. A bare-bones structure can be thrown up in a matter of days, with enclosure and finished infill to follow, either as a part of the same process, or much farther down the road, at no expense to net project costs, or product efficiency.

exploiting the efficiencies of a system The popularity of pole-framed construction has increased over the last 100 years because it is versatile, fast, and often more economical than stick-framed alternatives. With a deep understanding of the logics behind various systems, one can experiment with shifting single elements within that system to derive innovative responses to various design problems.
