Using a photograph of the existing entry to the lobby (left, above), a rendering of the lobby as seen from the perspective matching the photograph was developed. Several signage options were developed for consideration.

Furniture Rocking Stool Utlizing digital fabrication techniques as well as hand craft, the rocking stool is functional sculpture. Seemingly massive, the stool is actually hollow, saving material and weight. Anthropomorphic in shape, the stool takes on different characteristics when viewed from various perspectives. The flowing surface invites haptic interaction and a sensual sitting experience.

IIT Natatorium, Chicago, IL Spring 2007 The design challenge of this project was to design a roof structure that would span over 360 feet, with program layout of a natatorium corresponding to the varying light quality provided by the overhead structure. The design solution was based from studies of twisted strips of paper. The action of being twisted and interlocked, created tension within the strips giving rigidity to the structure. Varying light conditions were created through adjusting the frequency of the overlapping of the strips.

NYC Underground University Fall 2008 This project contrasts the city’s skyscrapers with an imagined underground university with covert applications. The program is hidden in plain sight, as it wraps around the 66th Street subway station expanded into a shopping corridor. Througout history, the ruling powers have had hiddenn motives and agendas, and tunnels and buried architecture have been evidence of it.

Baroque Devices and the Sublimity of Self Architecture Masters Thesis University of Michigan. Winter 2009 Can empathy affect the design process and the perception of design? Using a combination of narratives and baroque architectural devices, this project examines a drug rehabilitation center; a space full of human drama and thus ripe for philosophical debate. Baroque art and architecture is often characterized by its contrast between light and dark, and a certain striving towards unattainable perfection. This metaphor is extended into the striving of the patient towards rehabilitation and self actualization. Narratives allow others to emotionally relate to the drug addict, a marginalized group, to see the architectural drama through their eyes.

Arrival
clinic.ai 4/26/2009 5:04:13 AM
Paired with the narrative, the architecture of the arrival of a new patient to the center is inviting yet completely masked as the architecture matches the state of unknowing. The protrusion to the left of the front door is a doctor’s office, which blocks the view to the rest of the architecture. A lobby mimicking a high-class hotel is directly around the corner from the highly regularized institutional space of treatment rooms. Pairings of such opposites match the situational irony. Time plays an important role in the institution as imposed schedules take over as daily routine for the patient. Therefore, as the perception of the center develops over the course of the patient’s stay, the architecture is viewed differently according the changing viewpoint of the institutionalized individual. The same spaces take on completely different characteristics when viewed from different perspectives, with increasing understanding of the space developing during the duration of the stay; as hopefully the patient will also increase in understanding of him or herself as their position in the program progresses.

The arch has a long tradition in architecture, representing the heavens or perfection. As the patient treks uphill to the center, an arch becomes apparent that the patient passes under and through.

The infinity of the horizon is visually brought more immediate with a play in perspective. Individual sleeping quarters open up into shared public space inflecting a new meaning to the communal.
ender.ai 4/25/2009 4:12:41 PM
Baroque architecture references are implanted into the architecture of the center, with nontraditional applications. A group therapy room with seating in the popular Baroque shape of intersecting ovals represents conflict. A view to the mountains serves as a relief.
Conceptual
The Short Circuit Porthole/Portal Installation or The Affirmation Cycler Fall 2007 The creature/box interior A found toy, a mechanical pet with artificial intelligence with the capacity to give real affection. It chirps and purrs when stroked, as its sensors are triggered. When ignored it becomes sad and whines. The creature desires affection, as built into its circuitry. Disassembled and reassembled into a new body, the fake pet becomes a reflection of ourselves (materially and metaphorically) as we are encouraged to interact with it, as an oblivious real pet hamster also interacts, tripping its circuits while passing through its body.
Mexican Collage and Sculpture: Culture Study Spring 2008 As preparation in designing a Mexican skyscraper that looks and feels “Mexican,� opposed to an imposed international style, collage and sculpture were used in study of Mexican color, material, and form.
