DIGSAU ARCHITECTS August-December 2016

The Challenge Program’s Construction Training and Education Center by DIGSAU Architects. photo/DIGSAU DIGSAU Architects is a 20 person design firm in Philadelphia. They believe architecture can allow people to uncover/discover connections between each other, place, history, and time. These connections empower and inspire people to be more creative, productive, and fulfilled. In my time with DIGSAU I was a members of a team designing both a charter school addition and the adaptive reuse of a warehouse into a brewery. I also worked on several RFQs for university buildings.

HOLLER THEATER May-August 2016

Holler Theater was a layering of cultural mimesis through dance, with that of geology and the organizational goal of creating “one giant outdoor room”.

Located in a holler or “a narrow valley between two steep hills”, the landscape suggested quiet refuge from the surrounding city. A visit to the Circus Maximus in Rome, itself a minor holler, provoked the idea of layering entertainment with geography, and more deeply, geology.

To imagine the geologic dance if you were to speed up time, you would see the whipping meander of a river in its valley, the wave-like lapping of craggy mountain ranges.

This studio attempted to express the three-fold of human-art, earth-movement, and the presencing of open space.

Formation of the Modern Ohio and Licking Rivers following glacial procession and recession.

Geologic Dance The ancestral Licking River flowed north through the modern Mill Creek Valley to join the Ancient Teays River. The wide expanse the separates the east and west sides of Cincinnati was created by this ancient riverbed.

Holler Theater sits in a a holler that would have been home to an intermittent stream directly on the banks of the ancestral Licking River.

This diagram illustrates the lofted relationsihp between the ancestral Licking River and modern Ohio River.

Excerpt from “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells “As I put on pace, night followed day like the flapping of a black wing. The dim suggestion of the laboratory seemed presently to fall away from me, and I saw the sun hopping swiftly across the sky, leaping it every minute, and every minute marking a day... The slowest snail that ever crawled dashed by too fast for me. The twinkling succession of darkness and light was excessively painful to the eye. Then, in the intermittent darknesses, I saw the moon spinning swiftly through her quarters from new to full, and had a faint glimpse of the circling stars. Presently, as I went on, still gaining velocity, the palpitation of night and day merged into one continuous greyness; the sky took on a wonderful deepness of blue, a splendid luminous color like that of early twilight; the jerking sun became a streak of fire, a brilliant arch, in space; the moon a fainter fluctuating band; and I could see nothing of the stars, save now and then a brighter circle flickering in the blue.”

MAHLUM ARCHITECTS January-April 2016

Award-winning Wilkes Elementary School exhibits Malhum’s commitment to nature, materiality, and function, photo/Mahlum Malhum Architects, a firm of 70 architects, interior designers, and marketers with two offices in Portland and Seattle, has a commitment to big ideas, strong designs, and expert delivery. This is exhibited in their innovation in program, palette of materials and environmental activism, and clients who trust the firm’s ability to construct a high quality project. As a member of the K-12 and Higher Education teams, I proudly contributed to a variety of projects over my four month internship.

COLUMBUS ATHENAEUM August-December 2015

The Columbus Athenaeum is an institutional facility in a small midwestern town that in and of itself is a museum of mid-century modernist architecture. The facility supports a welcome center, permanent and changing exhibits, architectural archives, and a residential scholar program.

This project challenged designers to use every method of creation at a variety of scales as a process of discovery. Model-making, section-drawing, bay model building, and more all as an investigation in what the architecture of this building could be.

For this reason, not every concept produced in this studio was fully formed into a presentation of equally developed parts., rather a lineage of decision making can be observed. at presentation quality. To illustrate this, the following pages express the process of discovery in the following chronologcal sequence: 1) Site Models at a 1/32” and 1/16” scales 2) Building Sections at a 1/16” scale 3) Bay Models at a 1/4” scale 4) Building Section at a 1/4” scale 5) Plan at a 1/16” scale 6) Site Model at a 1/16” scale 7) Section Perspective 8) Site Model at a 1/16” scale

EXHIBIT HALL The auditorium and changing exhibit hall is made from a double layer of the cedar brick macro-mesh. This “soft shell” contains six massive rectangular prisms that occupy the space much like fruit suspended in jello. These prisms contain vertical circulation, a freight elevator, box office, bathrooms, micro black box theater, and the southern end of the café. Both the café and auditorium open onto the water garden creating one seamless public space.

THE EXHIBIT Exhibit in the museum is “The Architecture of Terrorism” and the presenter is asking the audience “how far apart do you place shackles?” and “what color is your water board”. This presentation is based off of the old news that AIA ethics committee does not bar architects from working on torture facilities.

PLACES CHANGE TOUR July-August 2015

In July 2015, I departed on a 2,200 mile bike tour around the Midwest. I designed this tour independently and traveled solo for 30 days. The purpose of the tour was to clear my head or fill it up- experiencing the zeitgeist of the region I have called home for my entire life. I wanted to surround myself and share the goodness with people with pride for their place.

MY UNION TERMINAL June 2015 - January 2016

Serving as the grassroots campaign manager for the Yes on 8 campaign, the effort to pass a levy for 0.25% sales tax increase in Hamilton County, I experienced the confluence of my interest in community, place, activism, marketing, and Cincinnati, Using my design background, I designed the logo and the yard sign, as well as managed volunteers, distributed and ordered collateral, organized special events, worked as a liaison with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and breathed the campaign for its duration.

Working with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Landor Associates, we designed and installed a Pop-Up Action Center on Fountain Square, Cincinnati’s primary public gathering space.

Yes on 8 engaged with thousands of people at parades, festivals and community meetings., photo/Cincinnati Refined

Tracking engagement is often times over-thought. We decided to go low-tech.

Purchasing clickers, every interaction on behalf of My Union Terminal was counted by volunteers and members of the campaign team - over 14,000 interactions.

MANAGEMENT, URGENCY, MORALE Serving as grassroots campaign manager was the most intense professional experience I have had.

The volume of human capital that must be moved in an endeavor of our scale was massive.

There is just no way that an inner circle of folks can, by themselves, motivate over 146,000 citizens to vote yes on Issue 8. The expansiveness of the turnout comes down to people management.

Our volunteers were tireless and delivered the message far and wide leading to our eventual 61% victory.

The pace of the campaign was unlike anything I have ever endured. There is no doubt that those surrounding me were some of the most veteran community engagers.

There was simply no time to take your time.

Decisions had to be made as perfectly as possible, as quickly as possible.

Resurrecting the campaign from the disappointment felt by many that Music Hall was cut from our initiative needed to be addressed throughout the campaign. Furthermore, as energy dwindled, keeping positive spirits became the modus operandi.

LISC - AMERICORPS October 2013 - July 2014

As a Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) AmeriCorps volunteer, I was paired with Santa Maria Community Services (SMCS) in East Price Hill. SMCS works to help families help themselves, and have been doing so since 1897. My primary work was to engage with immigrant youth and assess and expand their access to out of school time programs. A tangible product of my service was a 30 page out of school time catalog showcasing opportunities for youth in Price Hill.

CITIZENSHIP AND SHARING Public service is a very good exercise in citizenship. There were times during my service where I felt so close to the problems and issues felt by the people around me, that I too could feel overburdened by the slow pace at which the world improves and situations change.

I am a planner. Throughout my service there was a constant drive to zoom out from the conditions and issues and look at a map, or research census data, or attend a task force meeting.

The reality of poverty is hard to zoom out from once you put a name to it, or experience it yourself.

The daily plight of the poor cannot and will not be solved by staring at color coded maps and excel spreadsheets but by going door to door. Being neighborly; sharing, learning, and meeting people where they are.

OVER-THE-RHINE KROGER January-April 2013 capstone | spring 2013

A social and economic system already in place unsuccessfully supports a grocery store in Over-theRhine. The proposed intervention seeks to find balance between corporate priorities, unique urban interventions, and existing social capital.

Corporate Concern A successful grocery store needs to be in an open location, with plenty of parking for customers.

Urban Intervention In a truly urban location, walking is the primary form of transportation, limiting the size of a grocery trip to whatever you can carry Existing Social Capital A grocery store on this site has developed a tight knit community over time.

URBAN FACTORS Urban Form

Typical Suburban

Typical Urban

There is a drastic difference between the footprints of suburban and urban groceries. Not only is the footprint different, urban interventions active the street whereas suburban stores are typically set back and only approachable by car.

Perception of Safety

Designing safe spaces is possible. In Urban places, safety is found on the street with an urban canyon preventing disagreeable activity. Also, by spilling the program out onto the sidewalk, a statement is made that this space is for positive use.

Mobility transports groceries by hand or in a personal pushcart

transports groceries in trunk or other large capacity space

transports groceries in small, manageable bags

DESIGN FOR FLEXIBILITY

MAKING FLEXIBILITY WORK Figure A shows how flat floor plates and a double helix spiral provide an armature for expansion as density in Over-the-Rhine increases.

Figure B demonstrates how practical double helix spirals are for movement throughout a parking garage. The flat floor plate can be continually shortened without impeding traffic flow.

Figure C shows the HVAC plenum and circulatory space that is built for final form during initial construction. This allows HVAC to expand as the grocery expands without expensive reconstruction.

Figure D shows the construction of the movable back wall of the grocery store. By placing refrigerated units along this back wall, the store’s HVAC does not have to compensate for heat created from convection.

TRIBUNE PARK August - December 2012

An Urban Water Treatment Plant In celebration of the re-reversal of the Chicago River and the restoration of the original Northern Illinois watershed, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District has decided to play a more educational role in the water purification process by gifting to the City of Chicago and State of Illinois a passive urban water reclamation plant that doubles as an educational and recreational park dedicated to water quality Through the site, the user experiences, participates, and learns about Earth’s lifeblood through a series of follies that both represent a step in the water purification process, and have programmatic uses.

An arcaded mall, MADE IN CHI TOWN, on the Magnificent Mile introduces millions of tourists a year to products made in the Chicago River watershed.

In close proximity with the Booth School of Business, the University of Chicago has elected to open a Center for the Great Lakes - a fresh water marine biological institute.

SHED STUDIO March - August 2012

URBAN DESIGN TEAM

TUDT is a six week long instructional design program in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago. The program asks teenagers to analyze public space to account for its stewardship, safe passage, and for social gain.

Post-analysis, teens identify safe and unsafe spaces, design, prototype, and propose a number of interventions for their community, and in two final weeks, build their designs at full scale.

WORK, PRESENCE, and UNLEARNING Spending 10 weeks studying humanitarian design before flying halfway around the planet to work with people I did not know nor have a connection with made the event far less touristic than anyone would have anticipated.

This was not vacation.

“Participate don’t anticipate” was a motto of a mentor of mine growing up. There was little time to stand in awe that I was in some exotic part of the world. The nature of our work and our remoteness required me to be so PRESENT - this still stands as one of the greatest lessons from this expreince - being present.

There are many habits and behaviors worth unlearning. Americans are addicted to sitting, personal property, and the idea that we are wealthy. Wealth comes in many forms. Wealth can be measured in moeny, abundance, and being free from want. Wealth can also be measured in cultural richness, connection to others, and a human network.
