STOCKHOLMS STADSBIBLIOTEK
SUMMER 2010
For our interiors thesis we revisited an old competition to create and addition plus entrance for Gunnar Asplunds 1930’s Stadsbibilotek. My main focus in this project was in the main reading room that is also the main connection and tribute to the original rotunda.

MIXED-USE
FALL 2009
CHICAGO, IL
Plan Typ. Residental Level
Project: Creating a mixed use residential in the hearth of Chicago. My approach was to take the circulation out of the program, create an individual tower for it, fill it with daily used spaces like the gym and a grocery store and use bridge to reconnect with the original tower. Since the building is based on the grid, the tower is deformed according to need for the circulation. Plan Ground Level

Project: Creating both an urban park and cemetery, the Woodruff Columbarium consists of two worlds: The upper world as a resting place for the living, and the lower as a repository for the death. The houses traverse both worlds and serve as the structure that holds up the park.
