The project proposes a reinvention of the office typology to integrate light, air, and algae. An existing office building located on Oyster Point in South San Francisco becomes a connection to the bay for commuters and transportation of algae for food and fuel. Production is dual - as office work, but also as a dissolved facade becomes a growth structure for algae. Rays of light filtered through ribbons of Spirulina cast lines of green light over white shirts and white pages.

|bio|Mass Media diffused green light overlays the workplace to transform the common office building into a creative workplace enveloped by a living factory. the once unimaginative facade dissolves into an array of photobioreactors producing a biomass of micro algae to be sold for a variety of processes, namely biofuel. algae superfood products are manufactured and sold in cafes within the dissolved building facade. an open floor plan linked to existing facility cores supports the needs of the curent building occupants - a media publishing company - as well as any future dwellers. the work environment becomes an active daylit space where production, harvest, and leisure intertwine within a beautiful web of fertile green algae. we are radiant. a green ribbon envelope, of lightness, of air.

Richardson Bay Watershed Center creates a positive relationship between visitors and preservationists. The building form serves to illustrate the process of water flow through channels of circulation and drainage. Visitors are elevated to views of the watershed and the bay itself to promote an understanding of the watershed and our impacts upon it.

THROUGH ZONES OF FARMING
A productive and interactive aquaponic Farmscape integrated into the urban fabric of West Oakland, CA creates a new idea of urban green space and sets the stage for productive participatory urbanism. This project seeks to foster a personal relationship between the city dweller and their horticultural food sources through an immersive infrastructure of cultivation. The farm becomes a part of the daily commuter’s experience and plants the seed for a Renaissance of the urban agrarian.

A revitalized textile warehouse site within the city becomes an urban wetland research park. The daylighted stream and filtration beds reveal and educate about reparative ecological processes. Runoff enters the sunken site and is filtered, reused on site for agriculture, and excess is piped to the Rivanna River. Kit of part structures sit on concrete footings that extend into hillsides to structure built wet lands. Each module is assembled based on need for enclosure and can be adapted by a rolling scaffold unit.

This two prong single room occupancy dwelling in Charlottesville, Virginia promotes rehabilitation of the homeless through individual responsibility and community team work. Branch Home is skinned by four types of layered practical facades: • Flowering vine screen shades • Productive louvres are personal gardens and screens • Perforated copper sheaths interior walkways to promote air circulation • Open porches bring light to interior units The courtyard is a productive agricultural landscape tended by residents and watered by roof runoff. Units are supplied with an inclusive operable furniture module that is movable by residents to define individual personal space.

Surface[s] 2007
A three dimensional surface is created in Rhinoceros, subdivided and unrolled by a Rhinoscript. A physical reassembly of the digitally crafted surface is comprised of two dimensional quadrilaterals with dimensions based on user inputs. The seamless digital surface, when manifested as a mutable porous physical object, comments on the dynamic relationship between the digital and physical realms and CNC fabrication.

From the Summer of 2008 - 2011 I had the opportunity to collaborate with Robin Dripps and Lucia Phinney on numerous research projects involving parametric modeling, several of which were translated into built form. This experience strengthened my belief in an iterative design strategy involving not only rapid computational form generation but various modes of physical representation. A project was presented by Robin and Lucia and I did sketches, drawings, models, both physical, digital and parametric depending on the project. A series of collaborative discussions led to refinement of design and details. I constructed and installed the design (except where noted) by gathering materials, machining metal parts, consulting with contractors, and various forms of fabrication and assembly.

A screen designed using CATIA Digital Project, the Luminous Wave Wall interprets a human point of view toward “attractor points� focused on multiple preexisting windows. A view is established toward the Blue Ridge Mountains with simultaneous privacy from living spaces below. Perforated aluminum panels canted from curvilinear steel frames open to create views and angle to provide privacy.

Parametrically designed with the Grasshopper plugin for Rhinoceros. The Solar Pavilion is a three-part system that reacts to sun angles in December and July to modulate temperature using shade fabric and reflective properties of water and fabric to create a microclimate for inhabitants through the year. Operable frames support shade panels that are moved seasonally by a pulley system, and an inoperable shade canopy hovers above.
