Flexible Living The Third Place
In The Great Good Place, Ray Oldenburg defines the “Third Places” as the anchors of community life through their stimulation of interaction. Situated in the heart of a rapidly developing community, this project seeks to integrate residences with a new “Third Place” for the community. The long and narrow lot was the impetus for the design layout, the “Third Place” and the main entrance into the residence complex facing the major artery of the community, the commercial strip, while the residences themselves face a quiet side street. As the community is currently attracting young couples, the idea of flexibility is a response to an effort to foster long term residency of the occupants, by making it possible for them to adjust their living conditions to their evolving family development. This idea manifests in a “plug & play” system of units for the residence which are then also flexible in their internal layout through to the use of retractable partitions rather then walls.

Cultura Luxury Adapted
This condominium design was driven primarily by two contextual factors; location and climate, as well as the constraints of a narrow, north-south axis lot. The dense and prestigious location on a high traffic retail street called for an upscale mid-size condominium with retail at street level. However, given the narrow lot’s axis, the north side of the building would get little light while on the south side, views would compete with heat gain for determining the area of glazing. In order to address these issues, each facade of the building is treated as an organism within a context and not just the building as a whole. The outcome is a leaning south facade, to maximize views while minimizing solar exposure of the interiors. An angled east facade that allows daylight to penetrate into the north side of the building and create a view corridor to the south and a north facade that is shielded from the worst of the winter winds.

VersaTile Bridge Biomimetic Steel Bridge
Drawing on the concept of biomimcry, the VersaTile bridge utilizes the high tensile strength and flexibility of steel cables to suspend a spine of modular floating steel units. Columnar cacti are weakest at the junction of branches with the central stem. In order to strengthen the connection at these points, the tightly packed vertical cells are interspersed with areas of woven cells that grant strength and rigidity to the overall structure. The human musculature system works in tandem with the skeleton to allow both to be self supporting. Together, these systems lend their structural qualities to the modular bridge, a composition of ridged modular, light weight units. These units are attached in series to form a spine for the bridge’s suspension system: twisted, tensioned steel cables. In conjunction, the twist in the cables and the spine formed by the units lend the bridge rigidity. The system eliminates the need for additional support by utilizing the tension created through twisting to counteract the natural tendency of the cables to slump.

Cirque de Soleil in Las Vegas Training and Exhibition Facility
This design for a training and entertainment facility for Cirque de Soleil on a barren lot south of the Strip is an exercise in subtlety and spectacle. Simultanously embodying the visual extravagance of the Las Vegas Strip and Cirque’s varied performances as well as the complex, intricate yet expansive system of minute details that facilitate said extravagance. Building on this duality, the design is composed of a structure housing the diverse program of the facility and a secondary external structure that provides the facility’s face to the Strip. Unlike the concept of the “decorated shed” however, these two structures are intimately related, their forms derived from their interaction and the harsh desert environment within which they lie. Thus they manifest a relationship of subtlety to spectacle.

Cliffside Village Reinvisioning the Strip Mall
Several recently published sources claim that by 2030 sixty percent or more of the world’s population will be living in cities, a percentage not likely to be any smaller in North America. As the cities expand, some of the sprawl that was suburbia will inevitably by subsumed by the city. Few locations in suburban sprawl are as symbolic of the Modern theme of separation of uses as the strip mall, once seen as essential for the car driven economy it is often a gray space, devoid of vibrant community life or green space. The strip mall is nevertheless often an essential community focal point. It is a local source of services and in an area of suburban sprawl it also often serves as the only point of constant interaction, however brief, between residents. This competition entry envisions a post carbon strip mall, consisting of mixed uses, expanses of greenery, public spaces and urban agriculture initiatives with a pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment. A renewal, and not a replacement, that reduces carbon emissions, greenhouse gases and promotes an active and vibrant life style.

The Hybridge Stitch Creating Connections Through Art
Linking two diverse New York communities, High Bridge and Washington Heights, the ‘Hybridge Stitch’ utilizes a series of sharp-angled galleries to couple the Bronx with Manhattan. Creating an interfabric reinforcement, the jagged form of the stitch-inspired gallery on the Harlem Bridge visually contrasts the linar form of the Modern aqueduct but symbolically intertwines the urban fabrics on either side of the Harlem River, linking their respective diversities. Local arts groups will have a venue to showcase their fortes while embracing their differences, in a unique opportunity that will allow artists to evolve in newfound directions. The stitch presents the opportunity to exhibit and experience art in an environment outside traditional gallery walls. Encouraging an already established cultural infrastructure into forward thinking, the ‘Hybridge Stitch’ creates a canvas for exhibiting, interpreting, and celebrating art on a monumental scale indoors and out.

Flip & Slip Industrial Redesign
This project was awarded 1st Place in the Art and Architecture category of the 2011 Dimension™ Extreme Redesign competiton. The product was born from the observation that most children’s products are normally designed with only a single use in mind, yet children are creative and often use them in unintended ways. This is the inspiration for the “flip & slip” play system: a multifunctional multi-use play system single piece of furniture which can be configured in many different ways. It is at once a rocking chair or lounger, which can be flipped over and used as a slide, or on its side as a table. The flip & slip promotes creative play inoperates as a: a way that is both safe and fun.

Yan Jia Lake Wetland Proposal Viable Preservation
Yan Jia is a rapidly developing city in a county on the eastern edge of the Anhui province. It lies on the edge of the vital Yangtze River Delta region. The purpose of this project was to develop a proposal for a wetland park, including conservation, recreation and commercial ventures on the edge of the expanding city, based around an existing body of water currently used primarily for irrigation. The firm was directly approached for the project and the final proposal included a substantial expansion of the water system, a research facility and parkland with bike and walking trails as well as an isolated high end resort in an area over 50 hectares.

Shazhou Brocade Proposal Creating a City Flow
Shazhou Brocade, Fascinate Water City 沙洲 魅力水都
This proposal was sited in the New North Development Area of Zhangjiagang City, a prosperous and economic power house on the shores of the Yangtze River about 150 miles north of Shanghai. The focus of this project was to construct the surrounding area of Shazhou Lake, a large body of water on site, into productive commercial, institutional and residential with “water” as the theme for both formal style and features. The proposal includes a concentration of business, open commercialized pedestrian malls, cultural buildings, sports & fitness facilities, leisure & vacation services, distinctive housing and other multifunctional complexes of contemporary ecologically sound urban development. The firm was shortlisted for this project along with six other firms. DLG’s proposal was selected among the top two, which went on to a public vote.
