Goals/Interests: I am interested in the function of space and the creation of heightened and unique experiences through a built environment. It is my ambition to bridge the skills I’ve developed through my studies to a professional environment. An internship would be a significant learning experience in design process, collaboration, and the business/communication of architectural ideas.

This project called for a large-scale warehouse area with administration areas and landscape amenities. The immediate context is industrial and there is a levee that runs along the southern edge of the site. There is a bridge that crosses from the industrial northern region to a residential area with schools to the south. The project is a response to the population south of the site: the large warehouse is interpreted as a series of ‘mini’ warehouses that vary and size and accommodate families and businesses. Roof planes lift up towards the south and they appear to be opening up when seen from the bridge. In this way, the audience begins to experience the warehouse from the bridge. The lifted roof planes also serve to capture southern winds and facilitate natural ventilation.

Warehouse Vignettes Third Year Studio [ Peter Wong ] Fall 2016
Section 1/16” = 1’
The first six weeks of the third year studio comprised of three two-week vignettes as an introduction to structural concepts. Each vignette revolved around a unique material: wood, steel, and concrete. The program was consistent through the projects, namely a 10,000 ft2 warehouse with a repetitive bay. I worked with Eric Mura in developing these three warehouses, and we drove our concepts by examining the distinct functions and qualities of each of the materials.

Flashing
The “Elevated” Hotel/Arcade integrates residential and retail spaces with dynamic public and event spaces. The project begins to do this as the name suggests: it is elevated from the ground level. This has several effects; it challenges the idea of a traditional arcade by moving shops off the ground level; it provides ample space for large scale events to occur at street level; the space directly beneath the hotels paves a clear and wide path of movement along with terraforming; it shelters an area of the site from inclement weather. The idea of the arcade is challenged beyond the elevation of its principle path. The retail is constrained to one side, and the second ‘wall’ of the arcade is open air with the terraformed event space below.

Second Year Studio [ Jeffrey Nesbit ] Fall 2015 Site: Chicago, Illinois
DuSable Park is located in Eastern Chicago near the Navy Pier. The site is not easily accessible and is currently not being used. It is surrounded by water on three sides and North Lakeshore Drive runs along the fourth. In plan view, one can see how the bridge isolates the area; the road is used to connect the city, but as it passes DuSable Park it creates a hard edge that separates the site. These characteristics result in a unique moment of stillness as a result of being isolated from the publicness of Chicago. This project revolves around the notion of a void: it produces urban performativity through analytical diagramming of void. A series of questions were developed to consider the future status of the isolated site condition: can an isolated space be connected back to its context? If so, how? Should the division be broken at all? Should the isolation be taken further? Possible resolutions were sought through the use of large-scale cuts and folds in the landscape; the sloping masses define the void while implying a transition from the beginning to the end of the slope (or vice versa). The cuts through these slopes also break down the division and carve a processional sequence through the void. The surrounding masses helped suggest isolation, but sinking the space into the ground established amplifies a broken activity. The cuts through the masses are transformed into tunnels that allow circulation through the space. The bridge is the key component in relating back to the context; the only approach to the proposed site is from the opposite side of the bridge to the west and one must go beneath the bridge to enter into the program. The tall ends of the slopes form a barrier that denies a view of the performance space and creates a dynamic approach. Any passersby on the bridge will able to look down onto the site and possibly catch a glimpse of a contemporary dance or hear a few notes from a jazz performance happening below; the voided landscape is isolated from the city, but the performance begins to connect to the public in this way.
