TERRITORIES: ARTIST RESIDENCE LOCATION: MARIN HEADLANDS, CA

Marin Headlands has vast amounts of undisturbed landscape. Nature and wildlife dominate the surrounding site. The architectural form is generated by the cropping of bird migration map generated from a site visit. The design is for two artists with nature: one , a natural installation artist and the other, a poet who writes about observations. The artist residence outlets to the landscape and a large observation deck allows views of the overall landscape, including the ocean.

ELEVATED TOPOGRAPHIES

LOCATION: CHELSEA MANHATTAN, NY

elevated topographies: the highline and rooftop gardens

Rooftops provide critical open space above Manhattan’s congested city grid and sometimes allocate to serve as greenspace. Most existing greenspaces compress trees between towering buildings creating shady enclosed spaces, as well as, limited access to sunlight and views. These spaces, implanted in the voids of the city grid , are less engaging than large open spaces, like Central Park. “Nature” within Manhattan exists in measured patterns, whether it be on sidewalks with trees equally spaced along a sidewalks or tucked in between the voids in residential housing blocks. It seems wherever greenspaces limit and constrain, people are looking to revise and discover openness, freedom and retreat. In Manhattan, ground level real estate is saturated, people look up to their rooftops to find open unclaimed space and a sense of relationship to something other than buildings. Above the city, panoramic views humble bolting buildings allowing people to interact with air and the elements in a diﬀerent way than they would embedded in the city. Elevated Topographies generates open space that moves throughout the building to create a feeling of openness , a feeling of relief.

SITE LOCATION

Public Architecture hosted this studio to develop smallscale architecture protoypes. Although my project was fairly simple, it allowed me to experiment with prototyping, to test the project in real time, and experiment with documenting results through video work. The project was a life size frame with a variety of relationships to the body. The frame would focus on the body within the frame as well as the context beyond it. The intent was to establish playful zones of performance, which would happen in the space within the frame. This studio accelerated my focus on community building strategies within architecture. I want to continue to explore ways to create spaces that bring people together and challenge their conventional relationships to each other.

Spontaneous Performance

Frames are viewing a dynamic street corner. The people are both being exhibited and viewing an exhibition. The frame dedicates and focus on a space for watching.

Frames create scalar shifts and disorients circulation. Swerving around frames people interact, exchange, excuse themselves, push and shove to get to where they need to go. 1/64”=1’0

Frames are editing and focusing on fragments of pedestrians, offering a new perspective to a common, mundane experience.

POROUS BOUNDRY

LOCATION: SOMA SAN FRANCISCO, CA The strategy for this workspace was influenced by the convergence of city grids on this site and the conflicting adjacent territories of high-end designers and transients. The building engages a constant negotiation of space between the designers and the transients, using porousity to transition break to work. The objective being to integrate and share open studios where interested transients and designers can collaborate on creative reuse projects, or upcycling projects. The designs created become part of an accessible, non-elitist design movement. The vertical mass of the building is constrained by two freeways. An artificial topography was designed to carry out program embedded in the building’s circulation to the ground plane below the freeway. This building is about give and take. The circulation is used to regulate access, creating more porosity where co-working happens and less porosity where focus is needed.
