his was a two phase project, first developing three separate forms in terms of particular composition criteria and, the second was combining the three forms into one according to rules developed by its designer. Throughout both was a focus on dynamic form and aesthetics, utilizing elements of kinetic energy such as asymmetry, implications of movement, linearity, and top heaviness.

phase 1: To design three compositions exploring space as it is defined by its boundaries. For each composition, we first created a field of fixed and immovable lines, then developed three polygonal volumes using only these fixed lines and lines that can be implied between any fixed points upon them. The volumes in each of the forms were to be complex and complete volumes in relationship with one another, and defined only by their edges.

ire escape is a level for the computer game Quake 2 by id Software, specifically deisgned for the style of play as in the Rocket Arena 2 game addon by David Wright. Rocket Arena is a game of one-on-one deathmatch, focused around fast paced fighting in small strategic maps.
ers re-think their usual play style, and respond to new strategic opportunities that the environment provides.
The aim of Fire Escape is to challenge traditional player strategies of holding high ground and following opponents. Designed with multiple paths to various vantage points, Fire Escape uses changes in elevation and lighting to form a unique strategic environment. Advantages when fighting in Fire Escape are obtained when play-

ere are works of architecture or landscape architecture that I have had the opportunity to work on in a professional environment over the past six years. Each project is accompanied by a short explanation, including the time frame, the status of the project, the firm the work was done for, and the extent of my involvement. All drawings are not to scale unless otherwise indicated.

This page: Madera Skatepark, for the City of Madera, California. Constructed in 2004, the work was done by Purkiss Rose - RSI in 2003-2004. My involvement was in the AutoCAD 3D rendering seen above, heavy involvement in all phases of construction documentation, and implementation of minor design changes.

Reel Lumber Corporate Offices and Warehouse, for the Reel Lumber Corporation in San Bernadino, California. Currently in construction documentation phase, with the design and current construction documents done by Vertrees A&E. My involvement has been extensive development of the 3D AutoCAD model, 2D AutoCAD design drawings, SketchUp rendering, and now in the architectural as well as the structural construction drawings.

n this exercise, the design goal was multi-tiered, with each additional level of the composition responding to the previous one. Design is initialized by a series of lines a rectangular base of various thickness and length, terminating only on each other or the edge of the base. The second layer is a wood frame built upon the base which responds to the lines, feeding off of the linearity and lift implied by them, ramifying two dimensions into a third. Throughout the frame are volumetric planes which exist in juxtaposition to it, representing the flow created by the frame, magnifying its innuendo of movement. lines: are intrinsic elements of the base. The lines are not conceptual indications of any other forces, yet are collected towards one quadrant of the base in a natural and asymmetrical fashion. frame: is a natural extension of the planar base lines, thus designed from a conceptual basis of nature, as in being irregular and irreproducible in the exact, yet harmonious and precise. Harmony was produced by precise repetition of the frame elements, preserv-
ing angles, spacing, and orientation. Irregularity was held by implementing
asymmetrical changes along the frame, where elements are unexpectedly missing or changing direction. planes: existence is in theory, contingent on the existence of the frame, they are the kinetic indication of the potential energy carried by it. In a constant tense and top heavy situation, the planes dynamically flow through and around the frame, directly following its lead in movement. Usually staying close in tension, the planes will diverge from the frame when it indicates that the necessary forces are upon them. media: Basswood, Chipboard, Foamcore, Google SketchUp, and Indigo Renderer.
