Rosecrance Institute Professor: Robin Randall, AIA, LEED AP BD+ C Chicago, IL
FALL 2014
Moods/ Journey Roscrance is a private non-profit organization that offers health services to teenagers and young adults that suffer specifically from drug abuse. This new institute at the corner of W. Van Buren & Desplaines in Chicago is to accommodate 22 young adults. The design is a Net Zero project. But with a greater emphasis is moods, journey and adaptivity: to guide the process of healing and recovery.

Cultivate/ Innovation This project is designed to accommodate third world countries in need of schooling for their young ones and who find them selves short of resources. The goal was to adapt this concept of cultivate and growth using local materials unique to each site. Stone is the primary source for the foundation and cross laminated timber as a lighter component for the outer envelope.

Professor: Alan Frost, RA, LEED AP
Connect/ Anchor
My attitude toward Riverkeeper was to connect the program to the community in such a way that is permanent, meaningful, inviting and visual. Riverkeeper is an institute/organization that educates the community on the preservation and importance of rivers and its ecology, many times gone unknown throughout history. My goal was to transform the way we treat our rivers and give value to the leadership and the role of the Riverkeeper

2016
Located at the southwest corner of Humboldt Park, Norwegian American Hospital serves a diverse population of people. The Hospital is looking to renovate its masterplan, Being initially built in 1894, three major additions have been added over time. But due to the rapid growth, program has been shifted and squeezed allowing confusion in finding services. The Hospital is asking JGMA to envision a solution to facilitate circulation and way-finding. Through intensive research, careful study and site analysis we have used, texture, pattern and color to define space. My Task was to assist the team with some design decisions, Research, SD sets, DD set, and CD set,
Episcopal School of Dallas Firm: Overland Partners 2015 Dallas, TX The new Episcopal School of Dallas is looking to be a springboard for life-long curiosity and purposeful relationships. Their goal is to be a community of nested neighborhoods centered around a sacred space connected by paths and daylight, connected by relationships and community. In these neighborhoods, children and teachers will be honored as individuals and empowered as teams, Our goal like theirs is to execute this vision of community through nested neighborhoods. My Task was to assist the team by drawing Revit plans, making physical concept models, research, helping with some design decisions such as skylight options, chapel options and classrooms layout options.

Mood Bust
Moods / Time
This bust or Mood Bust as I call it, was the initial inspiration and study model used to guide the process of my Rosecrance design located at the top of the portfolio. It is a metaphor for the human condition. I tried to understand the state of nature in relationship to the human soul. So I made this life scale sculpture representing the thinker at its most perfect and imperfect state using concrete as the base, air dry clay for the head, wood for the frames and wire to represent the lapse of time right behind the head.

Phenomenology
This editing device is a study of asymmetry and phenomenology This two headed bust has two monoculars inside in an L shape manner and a mirror to direct the view 90 degrees in the horizontal plane The design is meant exclusively to be a piece of interaction and its setting would be fixed. When looking through the eye/monoculars the viewer would see a reflection of his/her self looking at the bust from a different perspective.
