AALTO U Problem / Design an intervention to existing campus framework;
with a focus on a shared design school to encourage student interaction and integrate with Aalto University - Otaniemi Finland’s campus.
Solution / Plug the voids of space between existing buildings around the main campus green space to create a higher density campus, while not interupting wooded areas or existing Alvar Aalto buildings; and restricting vehicular traffic on campus to create a quad. A building conceived as two in one. Two partially lifted glazed wings to create courtyard space with exterior circulation below. An embedded l o a d - b e a r i n g w i n g , w h i c h u s e d a n existing form to capture interstitial space. Both parts functionally use their roofs; the first to redirect run-off into reflecting ponds, the other as occupiable space to connect campus greens.

FLATNESS
& the surrealest machine Technology is growing exponentially... Technology is driving globalization... Globalization is growing exponentially. Historically, in the age of Grand Tours, Cabinets of Curiosity were filled with referential artifacts. Each artifact had meaning. Today, rapid globalization has challenged authenticity and the referential itself. Artifacts can still be referential, but in new ways. The architect must embrace this onset of globalization. Globalization, with commercialism and technology, has formed a collective society without propinquity. The proliferation of media technology has desensitized the individual. In this way, tourism exists as merely faceless consumption, not an authentic experience. Hyper-mobility has flattened our planet. Non-places have replaced places. Globalization has destroyed context. How will we define culture in 2063? Architecture must question traditional concepts of tourism and seek a solution without propinquity. In this world without context, we are looking to redefine the iconic, referential, and the role of the tourist artifact.

The surrealest machine creates combinations of a building, an environment & a theme to create artifacts. Devoid of their own context, the artifacts plug into sites all over the world and allow the tourist to consume ever more rapidly...

HUB IN THE WALL Problem / Design a depot for Columbus, OH’s expaning food truck industry as an intervention to an existing historic market. The project opened with a charrette to design a food cart itself. Solution / The palazzo type is used, but sliced to create a street presense and allow access for truck to a ground level depot. This depot is wrapped by a thickened wall which serves as a market and the circulation to an upper level event space. Simultaneously the wall acts as storage space for modular food carts while not in use.

LIGHT.MASS Problem / Design an educational center for a landfill, through the exploration of the relationship of mass to void. With consideration to volume and poche, transitions and sequence, and the adjacent landform. Solution / A simple rectilinear mass composed of rectilinear spaces, then carved and intruded upon by curvilinear forms. The intrusions provide natural light to the entire structure as well as occupiable space and circulation. Program includes: Lecture rooms, indoor and outdoor screening areas, indoor, outdoor, and semi-enclosed exhibition space, administrative space, a library, a cafe, and a rooftop belvedere.

DSM-IV: 301.82 HOUSE Problem / The clients of this house in a dense 2-story semi-urban neighborhood are a young family with two sons, one of whom is diagnosed with “DSM-IV Avoidance Personality Disorder”. This disorder is characterized by low self-esteem, an inferiority complex and mistrust. The syndrome is converse as it leads to both a desire to be in secluded private spaces and a longing for social interaction. Solution / The goal of the house design is to be comforting and therapeutic for the patient; while meeting the functional needs of an average family. Since the design goals are contradictory the Concept became “courtyard-houses in conflict” in order to meet the private and public aspects of the family’s unique needs. A courtyard-house is duplicated and the cantilevered the second story creates a roof-top patio. To address the patient’s need for comforting private areas--a porous gate forms an envelope for the courtyard. The children’s bedrooms double as a belvedere to an adjacent park; window treatments allow adjustable levels of privacy. Extensive glazing, multiple gathering rooms, vast exterior living spaces, and transformative walls add the the home’s therapeutic value. Two instances occur in the upper level’s NW wing where walls fold up into an awning, and down into a bridge respectively. Transformative programming occurs in a piloti-supported pavillion containing freely adjustable slabs with multiple actions resulting in the formation of walls, workstations, seating, as well as providing sublime lighting effects. This intentionally nudges the sufferer to be assertive. Two more instances exist in the upper level’s NW wing where walls fold up into an awning, and down into a bridge respectively.

HELIOHUT Problem / Deploy an inflatable interactive pop-up installation . Solution / A sealed inflatable filled with helium to create a transforming installion. We achieved our three condition goal by utilizing the relatively small size of helium molecules, which leak from their sealed plastic shell. Over time the floating HelioHut will drop to the level of the user, it will allow manipulation; finally, it will reach a stasis in its namesake “hut� stage.

BOOMTOWN Problem / Design a mixed-use multi generational housing community with an emphasis on aging baby-boomers.
Solution / An amenity filled mass to meet the street and create a barrier. Backed by three housing neighborhoods of diminishing density; one apartment block, two modular agglomerations with one on a programmed plinth. The principle of square foot gardening is used to support a central market and produce enough crop to sustain the entire community.

COGWHEELS Problem / Desi g n a p e r f or m i n g a r t s c e n t e r wit h t h e a t r e s , commercial, gallery, and studio space in a culturally rich area.
Solution / An evacuated core is created by removing the envelope and pushing the program to the perimeter. A courtyard is made possible by cantilevering a theatre and burying studios under a plinth. The performative arts are brought directly to the passersby in the form of street level views into studios.
