2016 ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Hello! Welcome to my collected works! In here you will find a variety of scopes, subjects and solutions through my explorations in architecture and art. I love learning new things and tackling new ideas. I pride myself on my work, both my successes and my “successes in waiting”. Each project would not have been possible without the help and support from the teams I have worked with, whether academic, professional or a friend to bounce ideas off of, I have found the best projects come from collaboration and discourse. It is then my sincerist hope we’d have the opportunity to work together!

“Why do homes have front doors when everyone enters through the garage?�
PIVOT HOUSE PERSONAL SPECULATIVE (2015 - 2016)
The Pivot House is a quick personal project where I explore the idea of the public-private relationship in the scope of a single family home. The main explorations in this case study are: the facade (the public front, the superficial welcome of the house, the front porch (the screened semi-public meeting space), and the interior layout, pivoted around the kitchen (juggling semi public and semi private spaces guided by the narrative of a friend’s visit). This project comes from the speculation surrounding the modern homes room designation, the disappearance of ‘formal’ rooms and specified functions and the emergence of functional “flow” of contemporary homes.

BUILDING SECTION A - A (N.T.S.)
The Pivot House explores the layout of a house through the narative of a friend’s visit. In an urban environment people primarily use the front door for entry (in contrast to the suburban practice of entry through the garage for visitor and resident alike). This practice delineates the procession from front to back as a movement from public to private. In light of this the front enclosed porch creates a semi-public gathering space for friends and neighbors and the rear of the home creates a private retreat for the family.

FACADE AXONOMETRIC AND DETAILS (N.T.S.)
The porch facade structure plays the role of privacy screen, aesthetic statement, sun and rain screen and threshold. It is made up of solid colored aluminum composite panels and white scrim panels afixed to a steel sub and super structure. During the day, the white panels transmit light into the porch and at night glow outwards to the neighborhood creating a discourse between interior and exterior and public and private spaces.
“How can we create a community centered around health?”
EBBW VALE HOSPITAL SCHOOL PROJECT (2012)
Better health, a happy life, friends and family. To a small town like Ebbw Vale, Wales, this is the fundamental wish of its people. Therefore to encourage the growth of a community (facilitated by a major development in the city center called “The Works”) we cultivate the health of its people. To build a hospital here then, implies a farther reaching goal of aiding the community and stimulating its economy. Centered in the town, and around small business space, what we create here is a health centered community. Our proposal was to place the hospital at the terminus of a new train line providing convient access and integration into the communities framework. We also located small business space and a walkable neighborhood to facilitate active lifestyles as well community connectivity. We focused on many details to enrich the patient and visitor experience to promote faster recovery and comfort. Through these explorations we created a hospital with the opportunity to become an active player in this communities’ health and well-being.

“slowfood - FAST!”
SLOWFOOD URBANISM ACADEMIC PROJECT (2013)
What is the goal of a markethall? To have the potential to feed the neighborhood? The town? The city? What role can markethalls play in the development of a regional economy? Who can have access to fresh, locally grown food? All these questions come into play when taking on the challenge of fueling the slowfood movement in a city like Champaign, IL. My proposal for a markethall for the city of Champaign broadens the reach of the economical and resource impact of the slowfood movement. Strategically positioned to utilize the existing railroad infrastructure, my proposal for the Champaign Markethall adapts automated food delivery cars to source food for an entire region. This idea can then further be scaled to reinvent the way we grow and sell our food for the entire region.

In order to reach as many people as possible it makes sense to put a markethall in the city center. Champaign, a city built around the railroad allows the markethall to both reach people in the city limits and retain access to the existing railroad infrastructure. How can this help facilitate the slowfood movement? Scan the QR code and see the explanatory animation! Bulky, loud, and largely inflexible, the existing train and railcar system would not be ideal. I therefore propose a separate, autonomous, small car system to ferry goods from the farms where they are grown (regionally and around the country) to this (and potentionally other) markethalls.

Expandability is important for this markethall. With an untested and unestablished system the market has to react to the specific needs of its lifespan. In light of this a modular system of “umbrellas� was concieved. These units would be added as the need for additional space is needed. Each display unit is also dynamic and movable to accomodate various configurations and vendor sizes. As a result of its modularity, the markethall can create indoor and outdoor spaces with the same unit. The units could also be arranged in such a way as to create major and minor axis through higher and lower clear heights (as shown above). These features allow the market as a whole to respond to virtually any demand and create dynamic spaces for people to meet, shop and eat.

FUN PALACE ADDITION ACADEMIC PROJECT / PERSONAL REVISIT (2009 - 2015)
The Fun Palace Ad-dition takes a look at Cedric Price’s speculative project through a more contemporary lens. Price’s original design was a “laboratory of fun” built on the tenant that through the use of technology the public could have unprecedented control over their environment. This idea taken on in the early 1970s assumed a very inocuous control over technology. Today, we are used to technology playing a role in every facet of our everyday lives, connecting us, entertaining us and pampering us. The idea behind Price’s original Fun Palace is echoed through much of our interaction with technology (through online gaming, social media, forums, and even colleges) we have lived in a disembodied Fun Palace for quite some time. In light of this I revisited Cedric Price’s original concept as a corporeal version of our current online culture, with a special look at what turns the wheels behind the success of our lives online: advertising.
Tools used: Pencil on Vellum, Laser Cut Matboard Modelling, Trimble Sketchup, 3ds Max, Vray, Photoshop, Illustrator
The Fun Palace is a place to “choose what you want to do - or watch someone else doing it, Learn how to handle tools, paint ... dance, talk or be lifted up the where you can see how other people make things work�. Today we do all of these in some form through online outlets. A contemporary version of the Fun Palace would include some kind of connectivity with the larger community (aka global online community).
FUN PALACE SECTION RENDERING
Just like the liberation that can be felt through an online presences, the Fun Palace turns social “norms� on its head. Laborers teach teachers and doctors skills of their trade, construction workers sing and dance among politicians and sales people, the pressures of society are withheld in this cooperative space. It is with this idea that I went about creating a suitable threshold and enclosure for this space.
Today, we accept the fact that the measure of success for any online media is the ability to sell products. Anyone can produce content online and have the possibiity of attracting attention to products and services through associated advertising (think youtube advertising on the average video). A contemporary version of the Fun Palace would be no different. In this case however, we use advertising (in the form of physical billboards) to blur the edge between the outside “commercialized” space and the interior community space effectively creating the physical manifestation of “skip this ad” to get to the content you want.

BILLBOARD HOUSE PERSONAL SPECULATIVE (2013 - 2016)
The Billboard House comes from the study of a rather absurd construct of our daily lives: the billboard. Simply put, its two flat planes, on a stick, in the air. Yet these structures have been an integral part of our infrastructure that their influence on the built environment can hardly be ignored. In this study I look to take advantage of the space between the billboards panels. Two planes with multiple uses then become “tenants” for the occupants bringing in “rent” without the noise and forced small talk in the hallways. Ultimately, with the virtually upkeep-free accomodation of these “tenants”, a house such as this would return its investment very quickly. Considering this, one can imagine the use of structures like these for a number of solutions such as low-income housing.

“a home for the Fredres’ ”
FREDRES RESIDENCE PERSONAL COMMISSION (201 5)
In early 2015, the Fredres family came to me for help in drafting an idea for their future home in Oswego, Illinois. I met with them regularly to furnish ideas, layouts (architectural and lighting), and revisions for a home design that would suit their needs. In order to best understand this project I provided the clients insights into ideal layouts, aesthetic choices, and functional requirements through plans, sections, and a full 3D model through which the clients could navigate for their understanding of the design. This 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home is still in the planning stages for future construction.
