CHALLENGE
Rochester, Minnesota is world-renown as a place of healing. The Mayo Clinic, as the state’s largest employer, attracts visitors from around the globe. However, the downtown waterfront leaves much to be desired. A channelized river blocks views and acres of parking inhibit connections to the water’s edge.
OUR RESPONSE
The plan balances mixed-use development with an expansion of the trail network. Terraced gardens and gentle sloping ramps enhance accessibility and integrate existing historic structures.
RESULTS
The sites form a “campus” of five acres. Additional due diligence is reducing unknowns (environmental, structural and economic) in advance of an RFP for development.

Client: Louisville Medical and Education District / LOUMED
CHALLENGE
Medical complexes struggle to establish a public realm that is safe, inviting, and easy to navigate. Their dense urban setting often precludes attention to the connective tissue – the streets, sidewalks and public spaces – which enable a stronger identity to emerge.
OUR RESPONSE
The plan takes advantage of exterior spaces the institutions already have, like drop-off areas, courtyards and alleyways while shared streets connect them into a network.
RESULTS
The institutional partners are establishing short, medium and long-range priorities to enhance the physical environment.
LOUMED GARDENS
Chestnut Street is also the core of the campus where clinical care, research, teaching and education coalesce. It can, over time, be highlighted and celebrated as the focal point for campus-wide activity. While the District currently lacks a central open space, the removal of the vacant Metro Corrections facility can provide a space for a new campus “ LOUMED
Gardens” directly across from the historic U of L Medical School Administration building and its adjacent pedestrianoriented green space. Approximately one acre in size, such a green space for the campus would create a signature “common” space for all the partners while complementing the individual, institutional identities.

FRAMEWORK PLAN
The Louisville Medical and Educational District (aka “LOUMED”) represents the most concentrated economic engine in downtown Louisville area. The primary institutions located within its 22 square block campus – Norton Healthcare, the University of Louisville Health Science Center, U of L Health, and Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) –provide essential jobs, health care, and educational resources for Louisville, the Commonwealth, and beyond. Covering 250 acres that include almost 10 million square feet of occupied space, the District’s institutions employ over 16,000 people, with a combined annual payroll of over $1 billion.
The Conceptual Framework Plan for the LOUMED campus capitalizes on and connects open spaces in the district.

CHALLENGE
American towns developed along transportation corridors like 19th-century canals. Once removed, industrial buildings along these infrastructures are in need of new economies. Uses change but a building’s form endures; the Piqua Granite building had previous lives as a car and motorcycle dealership, even a tavern.
OUR RESPONSE
The building entry is re-oriented, enabling the warehouse and showroom spaces to function separately while a continuous wall wraps around them and separates service zones.
RESULTS
Interior renovation of the 10,000 SF building was completed in late 2022 followed by Lock Nine Park construction in 2023.

Theological Seminary
CHALLENGE
Located at the highest elevation point in the county, the 100-acre Seminary intends to sell their property and relocate. Outside of attracting another academic use, the site is zoned for single family residential on one-acre lots.
OUR RESPONSE
Community concerns were channeled into planning principles that enabled alternatives to be evaluated together with a market analysis. A building and site analysis identified that viable development areas (minus wetlands, steep slopes and areas of thick tree canopy) resulted in less than 36 acres. Nevertheless, distinct subareas were established based on specific topographic conditions which enable the campus to more than double in size while preserving public access and view corridors.
RESULTS
The Town intends to adopt an Overlay District to enable a wide range of reuse scenarios to emerge as market forces allow.

CHALLENGE
Well-designed storefront and signage can improve consumers’ perception and experience within a commercial district, increase foot traffic, create safer streets, and expand product diversification within the marketplace. Through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), The City of Revere’s Department of Planning & Community Development will grant up to $7,500 to eligible small business owners for signage-only improvements.
OUR RESPONSE
How to design a process where design recommendations are sensitive to cultural values, aesthetics and the individual needs of each type of business? We interviewed a varied group of businesses and designed our guidelines based on these conversations.
RESULTS
The businesses are gathering quotes for the city to assign the grant money.

DESIGN GUIDELINES REVERE’S COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS
UTILITIES OUTDOOR SPACE After century of suburban preferences, people are once again recognizing the benefits of a strong, mixed-use downtown core. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, having access to attractive and walkable downtowns with outdoor spaces for social gathering is more important than ever. During this unprecedented time, many small, locally-owned businesses have survived, but some have not. Independently-owned business and property owners occasionally struggle with ways to enhance the character of their buildings and storefronts while running essential day-to-day operations in turbulent, unpredictable economy. May 1, 2023 VERSION There are many varied buildings, styles of architecture and types of businesses along Broadway that suggest healthy and vibrant commercial corridor in Revere. WHAT THIS INITIATIVE IS: An opportunity to strengthen the corridor’s character mechanism to provide financial assistance to store or building owners An economic development incentive to stimulate activity chance to discuss challenges and opportunities with commercial activity An opportunity to celebrate the city’s diversity WHAT THIS INITIATIVE IS NOT: style-guide directing what is and is not allowed top-down, city-led initiative to limit creativity way to advance a singular design aesthetic for Broadway trendy style-guide that will be quickly outdated SIX OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES A POCKET GUIDE to Understanding the Design Guidelines for Business Districts in Revere, MA 1. Leverage Revere’s cultural diversity Revere has always been multi-cultural. Celebrate it! 2. Keep it local Celebrate the uniqueness of the brand and identity 3. Remove clutter Uncover the materials that have covered up the past 4. Right-size the scale of the signage Update or install signs that are in proportion to the façade 5. Use a light touch Reduce the number of elements; less is more. 6. Integrate lighting Ensure the building is property lit, safe and attractive. Taken together, these principles will help to direct property owners and tenants to take steps that will stimulate activity and beautify their buildings and businesses. Since the onset of COVID-19, the City of Revere’s Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) has been active in supporting local, independently-owned small businesses through the challenges that the pandemic has imposed. These initiatives included city-sponsored small business grants, technical assistance, webinars and outdoor dining activations. In an effort to sustain the economy of Broadway Revere’s largest commercial corridor the city applied for, and was awarded, technical assistance through the Department of Housing and Community Development’s Local Rapid Recovery Program (LRRP). These programs provided technical assistance to city planners BACKGROUND TRANSPARENCY BRAND IDENTITY COLOR SIGNAGE LIGHTING ARCHITECTURE MATERIALS These Design Guidelines have been developed to address the building elevations and storefronts along commercial corridors in Revere. The poster is organized into nine categories and summarizes concepts that emerged from conversations with individual business owners and city planners. They are and are intended to enhance buildings and the public realm interface to stimulate economic activity. through facilitators and subject matter experts that identified local and actionable strategies to promote economic recovery along the Broadway corridor. The data and impressions collected during the LRRP’s diagnostic phase identified the opportunities and barriers inhibiting Broadway’s continued growth following the implementation of city-led infrastructure, public realm, storefront and signage investments prior to the pandemic. LRRP findings characterized Broadway as long corridor lacking district identity and clear sense of where amenities are located. Despite its unique north-south orientation and strong commercial base, Broadway continues to struggle to capture local visits and dollars from consumers living and working within a one-mile radius of the area. In its ongoing implementation of the LRRP recommendations and as part of Revere’s CLFRF/ARPAfunded recovery initiatives, DPDC endeavors to improve the storefront exteriors and signage along the Broadway corridor. It does this in part through the implementation of context-sensitive design concepts presented here for individual businesses or buildings to further revitalize and generate sustained visits to this commercial district. A parallel effort is developing district wayfinding for the entire corridor to enhance the public realm and physical environment leading towards a Master Plan. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), as well as electrical, fire alarm/life safety and plumbing should be carefully integrated into the storefront and interior design concept of the business and building. A strong brand identity will strengthen a company’s presence and popularity. Leverage distinctive elements of the business name, logo, color or design to build a strong visual image on the building or facade. UTILITIES BRAND IDENTITY Signage must be of high-quality construction, materials, details and finishes. They should be compatible with the overall design of the tenant’s space and invite customers to browse storefronts and shop. SIGNAGE Outdoor areas that are contiguous to building should allow for landscape zones, furnishings and fixtures, and shade structures that are well designed and accessible to people of all abilities. OUTDOOR SPACE Storefronts have their individual identities and histories. They should enhance the pedestrian experience, be unique expressions of tenant’s identity and meet or exceed the quality of the base building’s architecture. ARCHITECTURE Night lighting extends street life after retail business hours, highlights the interior, showcases products and activates the corridor. Effective lighting increases the pedestrian experience and sense of safety. LIGHTING There no universal symbolism for colors; different cultures assign different meanings to colors. However, properly applied, color reinforces the organization and meaning of elements in a design. COLOR The storefront, interior and signage needs to be of the highest quality and assembled with craftsmanship in mind. Materials need to be durable, finished and easily maintainable with the method of attachment concealed. MATERIALS The Display Zone for ground floor commercial business needs to reinforce the connection between the interior and exterior environment and allow for effective window shopping and merchandising opportunities. TRANSPARENCY
Buildings have significant heating and cooling requirements, regardless of the size of the building. Rooftop mechanical units and/or window air-conditioning units are necessary for comfort. However, their location and placement can easily overwhelm building’s façade. ooftop mechanical equipment should be setback from the primary building elevation and screened from view from the public right-of-way. Remove outdated equipment and where possible replace legacy units with contemporary, high-performance options that are more environmentally-responsive. ENCOURAGE Building assessment to determine present day mechanical demands The coloration of mechanical elements that can camouflage them Visual screening with louvers for rooftop mechanical areas The removal of old or outdated equipment Centralized areas for utility locations DISCOURAGE Haphazard or unintentional locations for utilities Exposed electrical conduit Great urban streets are more than just buildings and signs, they are great places too. Incorporating street trees, planting beds and natural green buffers will provide shade and increase comfort. The environmental benefits of landscaped areas will reduce heat island impacts, assist with ground water recharge and filter pollutants. Even small amounts of plantings areas will have a large visual impact. Where possible, remove areas of impervious surfaces such as asphalt and concrete to facilitate the greening of the site or building. ENCOURAGE The use of landscape buffers to shield adjacent properties and parking Planting of local, drought tolerant plants that address stormwater Maintenance and growth of existing trees Removal of asphalt or concrete where permeable pavers are possible The incorporation of outdoor spaces for seating and gathering DISCOURAGE Large expanses of asphalt from property line to property lin Materials should be selected with respect to their performative characteristics and sustainable qualities rather than just trends or aesthetics. With this in mind, durability, maintenance, recyclability characteristics, energy use and consumption needs should be taken into account. When possible, use natural and sustainable materials that are locally-harvested. Durable and natural materials will ensure a high degree of quality and long-long viability. Different materials lend themselves to different applications on a building’s façade and different sign types. ENCOURAGE The use of durable, high-quality materials that are locally-sourced Green materials with low embodied energy and are recyclable Materials that are historically appropriate for Revere DISCOURAGE The use of vinyl or plastic or cheap building finishes Faux materials that mimic other materials A successful commercial corridor is compelling place to be at all times of the day, even at night when businesses may be closed. Effective lighting calls attention to store or business or restaurant while also capitalizing on the architectural features of the building. There are many varieties of light fixtures from cove lighting to spot lighting to wall washers to sidewalk projections but an effective lighting strategy will reinforce brand identity while also providing safety and security. The application of lighting needs to be strategic. ENCOURAGE Accent lighting that highlights architectural details Full cut-off downlights and recessed fixtures Cove, neon and sidewalk projection lighting Energy efficient fixtures DISCOURAGE Internally lit plastic signs Light sources that create glare Revere’s commercial corridors have buildings as diverse as their businesses. The corridors evolved incrementally over many years and diversity of architectural styles is good thing. A singular design aesthetic is neither possible nor necessary. Foreground elements of a building such as cornice lines or roof profiles that make unique through color, materials, signage and/or lighting and background and obscure things that are less important. Service entries or mechanical equipment should painted to visually recede or be screened from view. ENCOURAGE Consider the building elevation as whole unit/composition Capitalize on the details of the building that make distinctive Universal design for people of all abilities and ages DISCOURAGE wide variety of canopies and architectural elements Every business has one color, or multiple colors, that defines it. Choose a backdrop color that makes the business brand or logo stand out through contrast or one that harmonizes and complements with the building’s facade. Colors can be trendy and what constitutes “good” color is subjective, however an effective color for a building will accentuate historical details of the architecture that make unique, such as the cornice, parapet or window trim or one that reinforces the building’s overall massing and proportions. ENCOURAGE Leverage the identity of the building or brand through the use of color Use color to highlight or express cultural affiliations and products DISCOURAGE The presence of deteriorating signs, awnings, billboards and equipment Every business has brand, unique identity with colors and font styles and sizes. Many have logos that are distinctive. These elements can be amplified with signage and through the application of color. The most effective brands work at variety of scales and can be seen on the building as both pedestrian on the sidewalk and from the street traveling at the speed of a car. Take advantage of the most compelling aspect of your brand to increase traffic to your business, store, restaurant or shop. ENCOURAGE Decorative or handmade signs that reflect the individuality of the business Cultural references and elements that make store unique The incorporation of logos on the building facades Historical (ghost) signage that recalls building’s past life DISCOURAGE Increasing the amount of visibility into business brings a number of benefits. For one, greater transparency enables pedestrians to view into the space which increases safety and security. Second, more natural light allows more products or services inside the space to be seen from the outside. Third, the organization of what is sold (or the services provided) can be better organized or displayed as a result of increased visibility. Historically, buildings along commercial corridors had large ground floor openings and there was a stronger interface between the building and the street. ENCOURAGE Increase visibility into the store with more areas of glass Return size of openings to their historical scale or proportion Organize merchandise in manner that reinforces the brand Interior or accent lighting DISCOURAGE The build-up of posters and advertisements on windows Painting over or covering glass with solid panels The haphazard organization of goods or products The use of old and large awnings that are in poor condition Commercial establishments need to advertise. However, signs should be appropriate to Revere without contributing to visual clutter. A balance needs to be struck between calling attention to an individual business and forging positive collective image for the corridor. Signs can either complement or detract from that image depending on their design, placement, quantity, size, materials, colors and condition. Effective signage works at many scales. Identifying the most appropriate scale for signage without overwhelming the building is key. ENCOURAGE Attractive signs that are proportional to the building A diversity sign types visible to pedestrians and moving cars Unique hand-made signs crafted with the business in mind Signs that are located above the storefront (frieze or transom) Colors that complement the materials the building Open face metal channel letters with exposed neon with period script styles Signage cut through surface and illuminated from behind Reverse channel “halo” letters Free standing dimensional letters Externally illuminated signage: carved, raised free-standing DISCOURAGE: Plastic and internally or back lit signs Stand alone signs not designed as part the building Cabinet signs (fabricated sign boxes with backlight plastic faces) Vacuum-formed plastic letters Digitally-printed flat panel signs Visible name, stamps, or decals the sign manufacturer Non-ornamental hardware or brackets used to attach signs NOTES: NOTES: NOTES: NOTES: NOTES: REGULATORY UPDATES: NOTES: Changes are necessary in the Signage Bi-Laws for the following: awning and projecting sign restrictions, sign square feet, number of signs, glass area and greater enforcement.

Freight transportation in the Hudson Valley is siloed and not resilient:
• Trucks move 84% of the freight in NYS and produce most air pollution
• Waterways are underutilized.
• Food is a top carbon emitter.
• Small farmers lack processing infrastructure
The proposal revitalizes an industrial working waterfront and agglomerates agricultural processing and distribution operations for Orange County. The larger scope is a regional network of ports along the Hudson River that consolidate intermediary processes and mark a return to using waterways as the primary mode of transportation.
The goal is to reduce the carbon emissions of agricultural transportation (60%) while providing jobs, increasing production, and revitalizing the waterfront as an industrial public space

Neve Sha’anan is a liminal neighborhood located between the ancient city of Jaffa and the wealthier north Tel Aviv. It is home to migrant workers and asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan.
The goal is to empower the neighborhood by daylighting its marginalized community and its buried assets, such as the neighboring Ayalon River, which was concretized to build a highway.
The project builds on the efforts of its community to propose a path to residency and civic participation through a Neve Sha’anan Action Lab that will mediate between the Municipality and the neighborhood for future development, to empower its community and celebrate ecology. Through the Action Lab, the Neve Sha’anan community will render Tel Aviv-Yafo into a resilient and more equitable city, recovering the Ayalon floodplain for the city.

1984.
By 2015, the growth of Santiago de Chile had exploded. In consolidated neighborhoods, this growth was characterized by the high-rise residential building, usually too tall for the narrow streets in which it settled. The borough of Providencia, privileged in its centrality but also in its small-town feel, reacted by modifying the maximum heights for new buildings from five stories to three stories, essentially freezing any developments
This new regulation compromised the diversity in the booming Barrio Italia (which had become a fashionable neighborhood like Palermo Viejo in Buenos Aires or Santa Caterina in Barcelona), because policy made it easier for businesses to stay, but not for people to live there.
My thesis developed an alternative in which new buildings ensured the historical streetscape was respected and businesses and inhabitants could coexist. Also, the project highlighted pedestrian connections, in an effort to preserve the qualities that attracted people to this neighborhood.

This diagram by Jane Jacobs (top) shows the need to multiply the walkable perimeter of the streets and open new sidewalks to connect excessively long blocks.
This allows for more activities to occur in the same place, and links sites that despite being geografically close, are separated by a border (the block itself).
It should be noted that the proposed section, making 100 metres the maximum walkable distance, corrresponds with the block sizes in downtown Santiago, one of the busiests and most walkable places in the city.

The entryways and circulations to the apartments are spaces in between spaces . They are open and permeable. A hallway is also a balcony; circulations are courtyards; apartments are accessed through the terrace, as if they were front yards. Courtyards and terraces hang from the building out, as meeting points between the commercial ground level and the apartments in level +1.

The project comprised the renovation of a 1925 masonry building, and its conversion into a micro-brewery (located in the basement) and restaurant in Nappanee, IN.
The floor plans were developed in the beginning by Jeff Anglemyer, the architect in charge of the project, and later by me. All drawings were made by me.
Other items I was responsible for included client meetings, selection of items and finishes, coordination of items with the electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and the construction company, site visits and generating reports.
MEMORY IN AN URBAN CONTEXT
The main purpose for the new elevations, which I developed, was to study the masonry work in the old building and translate some of it into the new façade.
The patterns in the old brick work were redrawn and replicated into the new façade (the old one was structurally
unsound and had to be dismanteld and rebuilt). This was done in a conscious effort to respond to the urban condition of a downtown building and maintain some continuity in the landscape of this street, as well as responding to the new program requirements (color and texture were chosen by the client).
This building has been there for almost a hundred years, and in as small town like this one every intervention is highly noticeable, so it becomes even more important to study the details in order to make an informed intervention.

Architectural Designer Lesley Annis (Project Manager)
For this mixed use building located in downtown Mishawaka, IN, the program included a cafe and restaurant, an ice-skate rental and rink management building, event center and beer garden.
My role included meeting with stakeholders, developing schematic design concepts, floor plans, sections, elevations, details, construction drawings, creating 2D layouts in Autocad Architecture (SD-DD-CD). I also studied the Building Code requirements (area, occupation, Life Safety plans, others).
I was involved in all stages and processes of design, from exploring different ideas in Schematic Design (sketches above) to exploring massing and how the buildings would function and complement one another (building sections below and to the right) during Design Development.
Finally, I also developed sections and construction drawings like these for the Bidding set (revised by the Project Manager) and worked on Life Safety plans and the Building Code requirements.

AWARDED WITH: PAU (Premio Aporte Urbano) 2015, an award dedicated to highlight proyects that improve quality of life and build better cities in Chile.
A mixed use center of business and logistics, Núcleo Ochagavía was the adaptive reuse of a 1970s abandoned hospital structure that became a symbol of the neighborhood’s struggle. The proyect included processes of participation and programming directly related to the community and their needs, as well as a larger logistics and storage component.
My role included drawing plans, general and detailed sections, construction details, elevations, enlarged plans, etc. for CD | CA, mostly in AutoCAD. Coordination with Structural Plans and details, site visits and documentation (summer internship).
Most of my work in Núcleo Ochagavía (882,640 sq.ft.) ocurred during the Construction stage of the proyect, especifically in two areas: first, generic layouts of unoccupied floors and second, the 8th floor, dedicated to Fundación Nuestros Hijos, an NGO that offers cancer treatments to children. This floor required specialized equipment and custom details, such as doors, cabinets, lockers, etc.

This small three bedroom condo is located in an old industrial building, which was converted to residential use in the early 1900’s. The original floor plan included three mid-sized bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The layout was reconfigured to carve space for a kitchen, a modest living room, and a dining nook. Exposed brick, concrete, and iron reference the building’s industrial past, continuing this same rationale with the furniture and decor items.
My role included drawing existing conditions, modeling and rendering images with Sketchup Pro and Photoshop, and selecting items.

COLLAGES: INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN ART, TECHNOLOGY AND WALKING IN THE CITY
Chile, USA, others.
PERSONAL WORKS 2015-2017
In 2015, smartphones were becoming a real competition to small digital cameras, and finally capable of taking photos with as many megapixels as DSLR cameras. Also, photo editing apps were slowly becoming more and more popular. I wondered if these apps could be used to create new images rather than just snapping photos, and how expressive these cellphone-created images could be, given all the constraints. I also questioned how the simplicity of these editing apps made people relinquish control in the creation of a certain “look” for their photos.
Consequently, I started using the commute between my house and the university (which included walking, taking the bus, then the subway, and walking again) as the place where the base layer
for this research would be captured. Over time, I also developed a se ries of rules to guide the process of making each one of these collages. These rules were:
1. Each collage is made from two or more photos thematically related.
2. The photos used in each collage are taken in the same route.
3. Every photo is taken and edited using a smartphone only.
4. Only digital editing is allowed (physical copies are all the same).
5. Only free versions of the editing apps are used (because they offer fewer features).
6. The format is square (because it relates to Instagram, my original idea was to upload each of these to an Instagram profile, and idea I finally abandoned after reading the Terms and Conditions, in which they stated that by uploading images, they assumed authorship rights were waived).
The next phase was about experimenting with different printing formats and mediums, including silk. One of the major issues was that the final versions were very small (about 10x10 inches in 300 dpi), although bigger results were achieved by printing in high-gloss paper.
