THE LIVING BRIDGE WAS AN EXPERIMENT ON THE IDEA OF THE STANDARD CITY SCAPE. THE IDEA IS TO TAKE THE CITY GRID AND TURN IT IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND SUSPENDING IT ABOVE A BRIDGE TO BE AS EFFICIENT WITH SPACE AS POSSIBLE. WITH THE BRIDGE AS THE MAIN UNIFYING FACTOR AND BY TURNING THE CITY GRID IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND DEFINING ITS PATTERN WITH STRUCTURE IT I ALLOWS FOR FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE CONCEPTUAL CITY AMONGST THIS STRUCTURE.

THE MANY RESIDENCES AND PUBLIC PLACES WOULD GROW OUT AMONGST THESE OPENINGS REGULATED IN THE STRUCTURE THAT WILL CREATE DENSITY THAT IS FELT WITHIN A TH STANDARD CITY BUT IN WAY THAT DOES NOT EXPAND ACROSS A GREATER LAND FOOTPRINT THEREFORE PURPOSELY BEING CONSCIOUS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMEN AND HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

SPIRE THE SPIRE MULTI-USE DEVELOPMENT, LOCATED SOUTH OF THE DALLAS ARTS DISTRICT, CAME FROM THE MIXING OF DIFFERENT SIMPLE GEOMETRY THAT WAS GEOMET USED TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT ART FORMS. THE DEVELOPMENT AS A WHOLE HOUSES APARTMENTS PLACED ATOP PUBLIC PARK SPACE, RETAIL SHOPS, AND ART GALLERIES. THIS ORGANIZATION HOPES TO MIX PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE SO AS TO ENCOURAGE SOCIAL SOCIA INTERACTION IN A LESS FREQUANTED PORTION OF DALLAS.

INTENDING TO CREATE LIVING SPACES THAT REFLECTED THE LIVELY SOCIAL SCENE OF DALLAS WAS A DRIVING DESIGN FORCE WHEN DESIGNING THE DIFFERENT SIZE APARTMENTS OF THE SPIRE PROJECT. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS THE SEPERATION BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE CITY AND THE INSIDE WAS BLURRED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS WELL AS MELDING THE KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM TO CREATE A CONTINUOUS SPACE THAT FOSTERED ENTERTAINING ACTIVITIES GREATLY. GRE
LIBRARY BEING THE LAST HAND DRAFTED PROJECT I PRODUCED THE FIRST HILL LIBRARY WAS A BRANCH LIBRARY THAT SYNTHESIZED THE A CUMULATIVE STUDY INTO MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE SYSTEMS OF STRUCTURE, SKIN, SITE, AND SPATIAL RELATIONS. THE LIBRARY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A RHYTHMIC ALTERNATION OF SOLID AND VOID ALONG ITS FACADE. THE SOLID BEING LOCAL STONE ARRANGED IN A COURSED ASHLAR PATTERN TO EMPHASIZE HORIZONTAL AND THE VOID BEING GLAZING A THAT BROUGHT IN LARGE AMOUNTS OF NATURAL LIGHT INTO THE LIBRARY FOR EASE OF READING. THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE FOLLOWS THIS RHYTHM TO ORGANIZE ITS SKIN. STRUCTURE, AND SPATIAL RELATIONS.
