The New Chicago ICA begins to connect itself with the bridges with an emphasized structural system pulling away from the skin of the building. On the ground level the site and structure begin to integrate the river and city with the structure acting as a gateway .

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, Tacoma(WA): Professional Work The new South Sound 911 Public Safety Communications Center is a 74500 SF ground up structure located in Tacoma,WA. With the major use being the communication center the building has to be a symbol of safety not only for the people they serve but for the employees themselves while also being approachable for the public use. The design then begins to emphasis this split personality in the materiality of the building; the communication center being strong and heavy with the use of dark metal panels while the public facing section is lighter and more porous with wood, brick, and glass giving the public a senseof welcoming. Architecture in its purest form is the creation of a space that adds to the betterment of humanity. South Sound 911 is architecture that provides an environment for a helpful, friendly, and calm voice for those in need.
