The allure of architecture presented itself to me at a young age. Growing up in the Anglo-Creole island of Dominica gave me little exposure to structures beyond that of the vernacular; things built to withstand natural disasters with materials that were local with modest esthetics: an inherent sustainability. My fascination with architecture ripened having matriculated at the Illinois Institute of Technology [BArch] in 2013. During my 5 years there, I pursued and was successful with two internships and was a very active member of the university community, my enthusiasm to learn unceasing. This experience prepared me for an Architectural Assistant position at AgenceTER, Paris, where I was exposed to international projects of varying typologies and phases. Ensuingly, I attended the Architectural Association Design Research Lab [MArch Architecture and Urbanism], 2016. This background has afforded me an interdisciplinary, multi-media and inter-cultural skill set with exposure to highpressure work environments. Growing up in the Caribbean, I realized that very few analytical questions were/are posed to the built structures there; this is a global phenomena where architecture is seldom pondered. I therefore feel passionately aligned to a critical approach to design, consequently resulting in innovative, playful, and quality solutions in the field. I am dedicated to building a comprehensive skill set to which I can eventually apply, in my own practice, to offer architectural and urban solutions in my developing home countries. I’ve identified that working in an ambitious environment will afford me the experience that I am hungry for.

On July 1st 2012, a powerful storm devastated many of the western suburbs of Chicago. Reed Keppler Park, in the town of West Chicago, took a great hit, with the loss of over 200 red and white oak trees, most of which were over 100 years old.

Studio Patrik Schumacher 2015 at the AA DRL aims to deliver a comprehensive body of research culminating in a proposal for the New Zaha Hadid Architects Headquarters on site of the London Design Museum.
S H I L L I N G F O R D
S H I L L I N G F O R D
The studio encourages biomimetic design, harvesting inspiration from natural systems and organisms. There is a specific interest in organisms with dynamic kinetic operations, where a small input translates into a large output.
J O H N A T H A N
Team InFORMation delivers on the studio’s agenda through an understanding of the given brief, and knowledge of the demands on a contemporary architectural office. We do so by populating the architectural space with a series of kinetic objects – stairs, mezzanines, desks, partitions, and building enclosure – all of which transform to convey messages loaded with information within a flexible, semi-public and semi-autonomous office environment. 18
J O H N A T H A N
The architectural intervention should perform in a way where the transforming elements are informed by the user and vice-versa: a semiotic idealogy of feedback. Subsequently, there is an interest in crowd behaviour and choreography.

existing building
Transformations are triggered by stimulus. The formal state change can then inform the environment that a change or phenomena is upon it. This exchange of information from one to another is defined as a conceptual semiotics within our architectural environment, the relationship to the form is achieved through posture.
floors added to address program demands
InFORMation proposes unexpected interactions between people and objects. The offered interaction is designed whereby suggested postures start to imply to the user a nonpredetermined set of uses. The construct created challenges the user how to interact with the architectural objects. The kinetic object is not limited in its performative perception. The relationship and engagement between people and objects is in itself a type of kinetics. This relationship is explored where person/object roles change depending on formal transformations and user perceptions. This type of mutual posture and behavioural exchange then allows for a dual swarm, a multi足agent system is therefore achieved where the active entities inform one another.

The existing structure of the Design Museum is sculpted to the constraints of the kinetic objects to create a radically re-configurable space through their transformations. Both visitors and employees would have the pleasure of negotiating an ever changing environment, where both performance and performative qualities exist.

The Kinetic Stair [left] can transform to assume a collection of postures, reconfiguring the circulation through the building as well as shifting what was circulation paths to ccupiable destination in the office. The Kinetic Mezanine can bloom on demand for the fluctuating, growing office affording a new work datum in the double height office spaces. The mezanines are executed in clusters that can either connect to each other or isolate, playing with similar concepts of circulatory reconfiguration and privacy per activity.

Separated by railroad tracks and a high gradient, The city of Rennes launched a competition to create continuity between the northern and southern parts of the city. The goal wasto not only consider the station as a functional place, but rather, as a public space: the station becomes a unifying support for the two banks.

The primary mission of this urban project is to develop new north-south urban links, incorporating topographical features across the site. ‘The ground of the city must conquer the floor of the station.’ A new urban landscape will be created with geographical constraints of the site [land-locked + topographical]. These therefore use the concept of a navigable ‘built landscape’ to describe the commitment to openness and to exceed the vision of the station building as a mere object.

By creating this ‘built landscape’ in the form of a hill, the solution facilitates the passage of soft modes above the PEM tracks [pole multimodal exchange]. Fitted with vegetation and public space, this connection is a continuation of the existing urban fabric and creates the opportunity of viewports across the city.

Within a comercial context, it was important to examine the street facade and address the language of a ‘store-front’ . The Fashion Center’s face is veiled with panelled aluminum fabric, assembled to a rainscreen structure that allows the panels to move with the wind. The consequential effect is that of a reflective, wave-like drape. The program is organized into worlds a + b. The user enters through an unconditioned garden buffer zone off the sidewalk and begins to explore world a.
b: design studios + informal gardens
Exhibition, boutique, theater for runway shows and exclusive lounging, world a is introverted and focuses the user’s attention within. The grand staircase that unflods is surrounded by reflective surfaces; the visitor has the feeling of being at an opera house, seeing and being seen, everything is a performance.

The stairs trickle upward with a rest platform at the street facade’s only punture, offering the explorer views to the street and the runway. This marks the departure of world a into b. Students, administration, and visitors whose merchandise require custom adjustments gather in this 2 story, sunny space with views outward toward Chicago’s skyline. From world b, the user can descretely examine the activity below and all around them.

The re-naturing of the site of the park of the Trapèze, with its industrial past, is based on the nature/town duality of the River Seine and the City. The new living landscape of water, gravel beds, islands and marshes is that of a floodable river inlet, overlooked from hard edges like those of docks. Here, the park landscape of earlier centuries is reinvented: the presentation of static views is replaced by variations, changes and uncertainties of natural systems. Levels are adapted per function; some places being always above or below the changing water level, the continual transformation of others giving a constant redefinition of the garden’s configuration. The subtle transitions of this nature at mooring seem to continue the riverside landscapes of the Seine.1

The ‘emergences’ are two small mechanical buildings within the park that host access facilities to an underground chamber. This chamber houses equiptment critical to the operation of the water movement through the park, and turning that movement into electricity for the surrounding neighbothood.

The proposed ‘enveloping’ re-defines the form to create a relationship between the two structures, engaging the garden and pedestrians between them. The existing concrete cubes are wrapped in a steel structure and clad in perforated aluminum panels.

The intersection of North Av. and Clybourne St. is quickly becoming one of Chicago’s busiest nodes. With endless pedestrian traffic, commercial and indistrial growth, and just steps away from the public subway and bus routes. The farmers market surves as a depository pool where people can gather to share their produce or pick up fresh local ingredients.

Site analysis revealed demographic varieties and densities which influenced the design. The major nodes of activity that surrounded the site made it an ideal location for comercial activity, and a connector between the main streets.

The language developed as a variety of strati or ribbons that undulated, each fold hosts a particular program: vegetables/ fruits vs. seafood and meat produce, sales points vs. cafeteria eating space. With only a small percentage of the site as conditioned space, the remaining outdoor and outdoor/indoor areas are activated with additional market space to pick up energy from the sidewalks. These spaces are sheltered under the lace-like steel ribbon structure that also extends to the sidewalk. The canopy above folds down to the permeable entry walls that both filter and stimulate users to touch and engage the architecture.

The history of the city suggests that walking is the preffered form of circulation. In-fact, the idea of walking as a pleasure activity manifested in Paris, coined by Walter Benjamin, ‘Flaneur’.

The Seine divides Paris into two distinctive areas: right bank to the north and left bank to the south. Considering that there are approximately 37 bridges over the Seine, the NEW bridge creates an identity for itself as an iconic landmark in Paris by esthetically and programmatically standing out from the other bridges in the city. The design suggests a new Passage to the arts and what is possible today.

The proposed design is a pedestrian bridge that encourages the idea of a pleasure walk, rather than on a boulevard, across the picturesque river Seine. The winding as apposed to direct paths extend the time it takes the pedestrian to cross. Paths fluctuate and undulate in height, in some places come very close to touching, and even collide. These collisions and intermeshings allow for interesting social conditions as users from different paths may have curious views and interactions with other strangers. An enriched public space above the water, the New Bridge is entertaining for both users and water traffic below.

The spirit of the lodge developed within the key strategy that it ought to be a brief stop within the skier’s agenda of an exciting decent. The building therefore, is organized along the winding motion of a skier, with pockets of program as peripherals along a path. The adventure, although winding, is linear in movement until the skier is then deposited back onto the mountain.

The program consists of a cafeteria and bar, lounge and dining spaces, a health centre, snow patrol center and gift shop. The building is cradled within the mountain with reinforced concrete bearing walls, their convex curvilinearity allows for additional bearing strength. Dispersed within the building footprint are small un-conditioned natural gardens that are aquariums of indigineous plants. Adjacent to them are glazed openings that extend to the mountain views.
