TOMAHAWK HOUSE Client: Completion Date: Location:
Mr. & Mrs. John Cooney, Climate Arch , LLC Spring 2017 Portland, ORegon
Project consists of a 1920s Tudor Style house, located in North Portland and sits on the Columbia River. It was bought by my firm’s principal architects. I was asked to plot the existing plans and sections in AutoCAD and proceed to model it in Sketchup. These plans and models would be used in future permitting and additions by its owners. The drawing and model were completed quickly and provided me time to practice my perspective - modeling skills. Since I had the model completed, I decided to play around with it, adding a very different look to its once Spanish Revival style, which I felt didn’t fit the original design’s parameters. A synthesis of modern and classical styles, infused with some lightweight Asian furniture, found balance in a cozy arrangement.

ARBITER TOWNHOUSE Insitution: Term: Course: Instructors:
Portland State University Winter 2016 Arch 481: Arch. Design Studio Chris F. Chatto (ZGF Architects) Jason Essel (ZGF Architects)
Pressured to bridge the gap between modern innovation in compact living and traditional single-family residences, architecture must address a social dilemma between the old ways, and the new. Located between North Williams and NE Mason, this half block site must ensure a smooth and gradual transition from the five story multi-family apartment building, and the rest of the opposing neighborhood. Using a tiered elevation, a new typology is investigated, addressing both the monolithic qualities of the apartments to the quaint and subtle elevations of the houses across the street. Each unit comprises a private garden and patio, uninterrupted views of the surrounding neighborhood, and spacious social gathering spaces. Loosely based upon Pasadena’s cottage courts, the living and dining rooms within each unit are easily accessible from the front door and take up a majority of the unit plan.
SCOPE: Research, Programming, Contextual/ cultural topography, concept design, Programming, sustainability Research, Material Research

BASKETBALL COURT PAVILION Institution: Term: Course: Instructor:
Portland State University Spring 2016 Arch 467: Advanced Arch. Structures Corey Griffin
This project consisted of creating a temporary basketball court for a grade school. The main feature for the pavilion was a roof garden that would need to be supported without fail. The structure type my group picked was a space frame, which nearly succeeded our Tectonics instructor’s 120 lb stability test. In the end, it surely did fail but by the time the steal members touched the ground, no one would realistically reside within the structure. A catenary curve would be worked into the design of the structure so the load is equally spread across the bay. I took part in creating both physical models and was the sole artist for the matte painting.

URBAN DECAY / GAEA SALVE Insitution: Portland State University Term: Fall 2015 Course: Arch 480: Arch. Design Studio Instructors: Zeljka Carol Kekez (Place Architects) Dylan Morgan (Place Architects) Mauricio Villarreal (Place Architects) Miguel Camacho-Serna (Place Architects) This project consisted of an exhibition concerning the Willamette River, a historical and topographical study of the Portland’s interaction with the river and a proposal for a new architectural intervention. There is a simple way we can we could begin to change the river for the betterment of itself and people living in a city, specifically by changing how the citizens see their coexistence with the river. The exhibition grasped the historical context of the Willamette and how it had been used firstly out of convenience. By early logging, and industrial work, the surrounding streams and rivers of the now metropolitan area would be controlled and covered over. The Seawall along the western waterfront is a prime example of safety through convenient building methods. Through contemporary capabilities, the people of Portland would begin creating ways to reintegrate the river’s qualities and organic systems back into our urban landscape. But now that we’ve gotten this far, isn’t it time for us to lower ourselves back down to where it all began? To change our perception of the river, we need to walk on its shores.

My intervention is located at Tom McCall Park, hugging the contours of the Willamette River. Initially walking on the path, one will encounter tourist attractions that are open to the elements, cyclist traffic, and a disconnection from the river’s surface. The new pavilion would lower tourist attractions, food carts, and general events that consist of slower foot traffic to the grade of the river. The existing bike and pedestrian path would reside for faster bike traffic and cover for events below. The Tom McCall Park would be altered, becoming tiered for theater spaces, playgrounds, and dining areas.

WAPATO FILM INITIATIVE FOR YOUTH Insitution: Term: Course: Instructors:
This course firstly investigated various films and their stance on social connections. The short film, Le Baiser (The Kiss) by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, held a strong narrative that consisted of a window washer, the Farnsworth House, and a female DJ. Throughout the film, the washer presses his squeegee against the glass while the DJ mixes alone in her transparent shell. There is a slow but noticeable buildup in tension between the washer and the DJ, and one can connect this feeling to the disconnection individuals feel when communicating over mobile devices and social media. It is only until the the washer has left the, l iteral, window of opportunity, for the DJ to finally notice that the presence is gone. The diagram on the opposite page shows the interventions that occur throughout the film, being that the narrative is a twelve minute loop, the characters’ dilemma is also presented in a similar fashion. The following project was a reflection to this film, the class was instructed to create films that examined our site, the unused and pristine Wapato Prison, and
54
Portland State University Spring 2015 Arch 382: Arch. Design Studio Nora Wendl
create a narrative about social interactions. We were given the opportunity to explore the now-vacant prison and film as we pleased. I began asking questions that provided the theme a context: If we were to visit a forgotten social networking site, what would it look like? Would we see the memories, the emotions, and intimate relationships that make us human? Or would the structure of the social interactions stand fossilized, still providing the most basic needs of communication without the human element? My short film reflects a virtual reality as if we were to sign-in to a forgotten social media site in the future, exploring the fount of the social network when housing the tactile qualities of the human condition. A place where your identity is celebrated, freedom of speech and protection from persecution is secured through anonymity, and likes, comments, and ‘tweets’ are commerce. This utopia, like most, lacks one thing:
True Intimacy.
We see only what others provide to us. What began as convenience became our prison. It is an activity for which you are expected to participate in. The social pressure demands that we create a persona that not only projects how we want ourselves to look, but how others should see us. In the end, the connections we make allow us to be surrounded by many, when we are completely alone. The glass portals from which we construct our virtual selves are the bubbles we try so desperately to pop out from.

The Wapato Jail, an unused facility built in the 1990s, is located just outside the City of St. John’s. Constructed on a manmade peninsula and surrounded by a mote, this location is isolated from the outside world. The following investigation provides a means of reattaining a purpose for youth at risk. The site provides a perfect canvas for their feelings of isolation but allowing their creativity to blossom where they believed it couldn’t before.

The floor plan and elevation follows the steps in film development and the spaces are categorized likewise. The project would house, educate, and promote 50 - 70 students at a time. The path from the jail flows directly into an atrium and production center. The studio spaces are located on the basement floor for controllable lighting and prop storage. The at-grade floor features sleeping quarters, lockers spaces and over-looks of the entire studio spaces. There is a public gathering space that sits as the connection hub for these facilities. The top floor provides spaces for research and production briefing classrooms. When the work is complete, the theatre is the finalized space for the students’ graduation.

BOAT BUILDING CENTER FOR YOUTH Insitution: Portland State University Term: Fall 2015 Course: Arch 381: Arch. Design Studio Instructors: John Cooney (Climate:Architecture+Landscaping) This site is located on the West side of the Willamette River, between SW Yamhill St and SW Taylor St. It sits directly across the street from Tom McCall Park, providing a large area for recreational activities and space for program if necessary. The project consisted of creating a boat building center for youth, so I chose a method called strip planking. This type of building allows small but elongated wooden strips to be laid on top of each other then sealed in place. This method is quick, simple, and can be taught to youngsters very effectively. The following pages illustrate the type of work, space, and equipment needed to create a boat building facility. Then after determining the square footage, these assets would be divided up and arranged in the order necessary for efficiency. But before that, I would need to take a site analysis of whom I am going to be helping. The opposite page shows a diagram of poverty rates, crime demographics, and local amenities.

AGOSTA HOUSE Insitution: Term: Course: Instructors:
Patkau Architects is an innovative architecture and design research studio based in Vancouver, Canada. The Patkau Architects firm was founded by John and Patricia Patkau in Edmonton, Alberta in 1978. In 1984, the firm was relocated to Vancouver, bc. The firm works predominantly in the Critical regionalism style which focuses on reflecting the surrounding site in the features of the structure. Critical regionalism demands that the build forms to the site, contours the geography and reflects its natural values. Patkau Architects doesn’t just embrace the character of Critical Regionalism, but it also manifests it by forming to the natural backdrops of their buildings’ placements. The Agosta house is a prime example of this with its unique construction and reflection of local culture – by the Agosta family’s wishes – Patkau transcends the Modernistic approach of universal usage of materials, therefore developing an architectural order which is specific to circumstance.
72
Portland State University Fall 2013 Arch 121: Arch. Design Studio Mark Kogut
I love the way John Patkau reflects on this idea: “In formal terms, we attempt to achieve particularization and specificity through differentiation. To this end, our buildings often utilize device such as juxtaposition, contrasting scales, or playing mass against void or line. [...] Increasingly, we also tend to differentiate elements within building assemblies, expressing the role of each element, either directly or through representation, so that nature of the construction and the forces which act upon it are evident.” The Agosta House is located on a 43 acre property, largely covered by second-growth Douglas Fir forest. Ten acres have been dedicated to a perpetual conservation easement.The house is sited on a grassed meadow, enclosed on 3 sides by the dark fir forest, but open to the northwest, where it overlooks rolling fields and distant views. The house is stretched across the ridge of the meadow, so that it forms a ‘spatial dam’. This dam creates an enclosed forecourt to the house, a
‘spatial reservoir’ which is released through the house to the panorama below, a sea of picturesque fields and waterways. The building section is battered — walls and roof sloped — to respond to the gentle but steady slope of the site. The spatial organization of the house is the result of extruding this section and manipulating it either by erosion, to create exterior in-between spaces that subdivide the house programmatically, or by the insertion of non-structural bulkheads that organize the interior into finer-scaled spatial areas. The structure consists of a combination of exposed heavy-timber fir framing and gypsum board clad stud framing, founded on a simple concrete slab-on-grade. The exterior is largely clad in ‘zactique’ metal cladding, intended not only to protect the structure from the effects of weather, but also to address the possibility of wildfire in an area not well served by firefighting.
