JERUSALEM OFFICE MASTERPLAN - JERUSALEM, ISRAEL The Jerusalem office masterplan was a project that occured over a 6 month period and began with the planning of a new 150,000 sqft. office building along with several support buildings, parking lots, and new roads on a 16 acre site in a residential district in Jerusalem. The site itself has a 200 foot elevation change from east to the west end of the site making it quite challenging to develop a feasible solution.

OFFICE BUILDING MASTERPLAN - DHAKA, BANGLADESH The Dhaka Office Building Masterplan was a 2 month long project that included the development of several new office buildings along with the potential for residential development of two sites in a very dense area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The client owned two adjacent properties with existing development and it was necessary for the two properties to be well connected. Although the two sites are within very close proximity, traveling between the two can take over an hour due to heavily congested streets in Dhaka.

PERKINS + WILL CHICAGO, IL

Perkins + Will is a global architecture firm founded on the belief that design has the power to transform lives and enhance communities, collaborate with clients all over the world to create healthy, sustainable places in which to live, learn, work, play, and heal. I spent a summer working for Perkins+Will in Chicago where I spent the majority of my time working with five person project team on a three story 21,000 sqft. project known as The Little Village Immigrant Resource Center. We worked toward finalizing construction documents to issue for final approval and building permits. I was also part of a project team that focused on an urban planning research project of a large undeveloped area of land on the south branch of the Chicago River. The project was used as part of the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry in the 2018 Chicago Biennale.

URBAN THREAD - CHICAGO, IL Urban Thread is an Urban Planning research project looking at undeveloped and desolate chunks of land in the city of Chicago. Perkins and Will is currently working on the masterplanning and development behind the Riverline project, which sits on a large plot of land on the south branch of the Chicago River. Our focus was to develop a larger surrounding area around the Riverline site that includes a 64 acre site to the south. The design acknlowedges the void that exists at this location and rather than simply infilling the site, we focused around creating demand and bringing pedestrian and vehicular traffic through the site. We looked at some of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging infrastructure and the barriers that it creates between neighborhoods.

The base of tower was a critical point for itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overall success. The south side of the Chicago River has experienced great success in terms of pedestrian activity since the new additions of the riverwalk that stretch from Lake Michigan all the way to Lake St. The north side of the river however, has been left forgotten and remains relatively unactivated. Our tower which would replace a surface parking lot would significantly help to rejuvinate this underutilized portion. Access up and down from the river was a crucial part of our design. We wanted to force the pedestrian through our building in a dramatic fashion that would help activate the base of the tower as well as public space surrounding it. In order to create some breathabilty between the river and the street level above we cut a void in the base of the tower that would serve as a main atrium and grand circulation between the two. Some of our major programming would open up onto this space including our hotel lobby, ballroom, and restaurant spaces.

REVITALIZING THE RURAL

BRADFORD,IL AIA CRAN and ACSA HERE + NOW HOUSING COMPETITION HONORABLE MENTION The rural areas of the United States make up 75 percent of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmass but just 20 percent of the population live outside of urban areas. Family farms and local downtowns that once thrived have been abandoned. New technologies in the agriculture industry allowed smaller groups of people to farm increasingly larger tracts of land. This facilitated farm consolidation which in turn forced smaller farms to sell up and leave the industry altogether. Architects and designers have historically focus more intently on the urban areas of our country and how they can design for the mass populations that are entering our ever-expanding cities. However with 75 percent of our landmass remaining relatively unpopulated, designers should instead be solving the issues of how we can bring the population back to the rural and revitalize communities.

As architects and designers, we can reimagine how our degraded farms and rural towns can be repurposed and adapted to fit into our ever-changing world. Grain silos, barns, and sheds that have been left to rot can be repurposed into rural hotels, workplaces, and organic farms. These rural areas can begin to have a greater presence in the hospitality market. Writers, musicians, and families seeking a peaceful and tranquil setting away from our hectic urban centers can look to our farm towns as a place to fulfill those needs. Client: The client for the project is an individual who wishes to become a pioneer who sees the potential for a vibrant rural community. They seek a home that is forward thinking but has a strong relationship with the local vernacular traditions. The home must be budget conscious while also offering additional economic opportunities in order to allow for a stable income and way of life. A space dedicated as a digital workstation is a must; along with spaces that can be rented out to short or long stay visitors is also desired.

CATCH AND RELEASE SPIRIT LAKE, WI THE ESSENTIAL DWELLING

The ice shanty has been the center of warmth and comfort for the ice fishing community for over a hundred years. However, it is only used two and a half months each year during the ice fishing season. Catch and Release re-imagines the relationship between the home and the ice hut by developing a deployable system that allows the ice shanty to â&#x20AC;&#x153;dockâ&#x20AC;? with the home. During the summer months the home consists of a singular structure, comprised of the fixed central structure and the docked huts. Once the lakes and rivers freeze, three modules detach from the home and deploy out onto the ice. Each deployed hut serves its own unique purpose, but most importablty, each provides a place of warmth and safety that can contrast the cold and vastness of the ice.

GROUND LEVEL FLOOR PLAN

Catch and Release gives back to the environment by ultimately embracing it. Winters in northern Wisconsin can be bitter cold and quite brutal. The sport of ice fishing and the hut associated with it embrace this challenging environment and allow itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; occupants to enjoy their surroundings rather than avoid them. The form is directly influenced by the site. The site is covered by large eastern white pines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to me that this essential dwelling had as little impact on these trees as possible. Therefore, the fixed structure was point supported using a structural grid of helical piers to ensure minimal intrusion on the tree roots. Next identifying straight paths from the lake, through the forest, and to the fixed structure determined the docking locations for the huts.

SURF BOARD CHAMPAIGN, IL WORK. FLOAT. GROW.

The production of my personal surf board was part of a graduate seminar called Work. Float. Grow. The purpose of the seminar was to take on and develop one of the three categories, which in this case was Float. Over the course of 10 weeks I took an idea for a unique surfboard design and developed it to final production. Over the course of these 10 weeks I studied the history of surfing and current trends and innovations in surf board design. The board consists of hand formed cedar rails and a birchwood lattice interior structure, as well as a clear epoxy and fiberglass coat as a sealant. The project allowed me to understand the importance and difficulty of a taking an initial idea to itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final built form and the design decisions the must occur along the way.

TESSELLATE CHAMPAIGN, IL VACUUM FORMING

Tessellate is a project that focuses around the use of thin skinned design and in particular vacuum forming technologies. The goal was to use polystyrene plastic and a 4’x4’ vacuum former to create a full scale pavillion that would sit in front of the University’s Krannert Art Museum. The design for the pavilion focuses around the overall use of plastic and the vacuum forming technology. Rather than simply creating a separate structure and using the plastic as more of a decorative skin element, we wanted the plastic to serve as the defining material for the pavilion.

FORM

The form for the pavilion is based on a section of a geodesic dome that when fully completed is a very stable structural system. However with limited budget and space to work with, we were only able to construct a portion of the dome. The wooden form used for the triangulations was created with slots along each side where lightweight metal channels would be situated. Once the form underwent the vacuum forming process, the wooden form would be removed and the metal channels would remain in the plastic. These channels would help support the overall structure as well as serve as a good connecting material between the panels. These facets would then be riveted together.
