Brightness measured as an average amount of light hitting the eye.
Visual Density is a measurement of the amount of information within the scene.
A subjective measurement of the amount of smell within a space.
The decibal level of the scene.
A measurement of the amount of texture, whether skin contact or variation in the ground plane.
Scale of a space with from coffin at 1 and open field at 10.
Contrast is the amount of difference between areas of the scene.
Visual pattern is a measurement of the randomness vs. order of the scene.
A subjective measurement of the smell type based on a range from fresh to musty.
Is the audio within the space a clear signal or background noise.
Temperature using 72ºF as the comfortable baseline.
Ease of movement from going down a slide at 1 to climbing a mountain at 10.

Atmosphere Model
The ability to selectively link together different senses into one atmosphere is facilitated through the creation of separate Sense Panels for each of the senses. A set of these panels encloses a Sense Space and a series of these spaces can be sequenced together. To allow for senses to overlap between Sense Spaces, spacers of a smaller size can be inserted, moving a Sense Panel in between two boxes.

UIUC Art Museum 2nd Grad Studio Winter 2008
Program • Art museum replacement • Along secondary axis of UIUC campus • 50,000sqf t of galleries • Education, of fice, and storage facilities • Sculpture garden
Solution To a c c o m m o d a t e t h e impor tant a xis, the foot traf fic through the site, and the distribution of buildings in the area, the program is broken apar t and distributed on across the site. Sunken galleries are connected below grade by a circulation ring and receive a controlled amount of natural light. Above ground the galler y volumes define smaller scaled spaces where sculpture can be displayed. The galler y boxes read somewhere between buildings and landscape becoming sculptural in their own way without detracting from the ar twork displayed.

Entries on each end of the site give the museum a moment of grandeur to entice visitors. Galler y spaces below ground are lit by a variety of sk ylight t ypes, adjusted to suite dif ferent light levels. Conversely the circulation space maintains a subterranean feel with moments of natural light via sunken cour tyards.

Program • Restaurant, Viewing To w e r, Ya c h t C l u b , Restrooms, Park • South Chicago along Lake Michigan • Former steel mill site now prairie land • Only mill remains are 1/ 2 m i l e l o n g x 3 0 ’ t a l l c o n c rete ‘o re wa l l s’ • Adjacent land will be redeveloped into 500 acre community Solution The current mix of natural grow th and old steel mill remnants creates a unique c h a r a c t e r f o r t h e s i t e . To keep this set ting intact, the buildings rest gently on the land. For a unique dining experience, the restaurant is sunk to water level below a gentle hill. The yacht club mirrors its marina contex t with an undulating roof and tilted columns. The viewing tower relates to the histor y of the site with a large steel screen rising out of the ground against one wall with a stair inside.

4th UG Studio Winter 2007
Program • E xhibition Center • Replacing Cobo Hall in Downtown Detroit, MI • 1 million sqf t of exhibit space • Secondary facilities of meeting rooms and ballroom • Needed to address major highway through site
REORGANIZING THE PROGRAM All program elements currantly serve the exhibition space. This creates a situation in which these elements are underutilized when the exhibition hall is not being used.
To increase the usefulness of Cobo Center, the hierarchy of program must be reorganized.
I propose making the exhibition space a secondary element to others that may be used by visitors and residents at any time.
Solution Lowering the exhibit hall below grade and splitting the rest of the program into smaller blocks above helps the center fit into the city grid and create an accessible park space a l o n g t h e r i v e r ’s e d g e . T h e e x h i b i t h a l l f l o o r, i t s ceiling, and the park level are unique landscapes allowing for each to ser ve its function. The floor slopes at moments t o c r e a t e o n e s t a i r- f r e e tiered space, the ceiling undulates to let in light and hold structure, and the park level creates a natural b a c k d r o p f o r t h e c i t y.

Swiss Sketch Tour Study Abroad Summer 2006
Objectives An intensive study of sketching as a means of analyzing and studying architecture. Class visited many contemporar y and historical buildings within and around the countr y of Switzerland in order to widen our view of architecture and improve our sketching abilities. The areas of study included basic drawing, sections of buildings and a final project drawing and analyzing a path through the city of Zurich using plan, section, and perspective.

Solution To a l l o w i n a s m u c h light as possible and to e n h a n c e s e c u r i t y, t h e living units are in towers above ground level. In order to encourage social interaction the scheme is set up like a c i t y, w i t h r e s i d e n t s interacting on a small scale within living units, then coming down from the towers to interact with larger groups and receive counseling.
Construction Building structure and mechanics were later worked out in high detail.

Since the building was to house a collection of plant specimens my goal was to relate the development of the building to the grow th of a plant. From this the concept of tropism — the grow th toward or away from stimulus — was taken. I at tempted to grow the building by making it react to the stimulus of the site and of the program needs.

Project I was able to follow t h e B o l a n d B u i l d i n g ’s progress from an early planning stage all the way to ‘Core and Shell’ LEED certification documentation. Throughout this process I worked heavily on construction document changes, attended meetings with the developer and engineers, and eventually completed much of the LEED documentation.
