Conceived as a landform installation, Synthetic Morphology reflects the history of Chicago´s evolving lakefront emulating the artificially constructed nature of Burnham’s 1909 plan for the city of Chicago. Synthetic Morphology is intended to replace the existing McCormick Lakeside Center with the development ‘spilling’ over onto Northerly Island, creating a physical and cultural loop within the Museum Campus. The sprawling structure would allow for vast interiors capable of housing program that can adjust to the needs of the city. The exterior of the structure houses the roof walk, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to traverse the lakeshore and onto the island.

The Allerton Park Performance Pavilion is an outdoor performance space for musical and theatrical events. The design for this pavilion was to work with the natural contours of the site to create a large amphitheather space through the creation of an artificial hill. This ensured the site was able to give back as much of the area it took up. Reversing the contours of the existing site mirrored the natural context creating a balance between the natural and the built environment. Located near the pavilion lies a retreat space for visiting artists and writers wishing a quiet and calm space to inspire them. Built with the same language as the pavilion, the retreat cantilevers along a hill leaving the occupants level with the treetops of the surrounding forest.

Modular Shift began as an exercise in making space. Students were given twelve 10 square foot cubes, six stacked upon six. Given two moves students were to address a sloped site located in Urbana, Illinois. Splitting the stack of cubes down the middle allowed a courtyard area to be created, nestled into the sloping hill. Wooden slats clad the exterior facade of the building, breaking sightlines and creating privacy while still allowing plentiful light into the house.
