introduction I exist The notion of binary relationships is embedded in my understanding of the world. Compliment and contradiction; coherence and complexity; defined and ambiguous. Antithetical relationships are imperative in order to achieve balance. The mind demands pattern and order, though dulls without the presence of ambiguity. Without darkness, light cannot be appreciated.

Mass without void oppresses, and void without solidity has no context or frame by which to mark it’s existence. The relationship of mass and void; active and restful; contributes to the marking of time and space. With that I used the notion of apertures, in reference to the mass and the void, and the capturing and articulation of moment, to present this collection of projects.

My work will be primarily presented through photographs and operative words, to narrate my processes.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year-old master of architecture candidate attending Kansas State University. Born in Chicago and since lived in California and Washington state. I pride myself in being adaptable, ambitious, fearless, hard-working, stubborn yet reasonable, acute and intuitive. I believe in the power of logic and rationality, while existing in the dimension of the ambiguous and poetic. It is that duality of architecture that seduces me. I believe when logic and poetics become confluent, something meaningful happens.

TRANS URBANISM AND THE DILEMMA OF STAVANGER CITY MARKET

The issue of Stavanger marketplace is its lack of containment. The marketplace is adjacent to a Latin primary school, a park, and a wide pedestrian road.

These spaces are deficient in enclosure and seep in to one another. Without proper edge and definition of activity these spaces are void of meaning.

This observation is part of a much larger discussion directed toward the future of the urban model.

Our generation is confronted with overpopulation, depletion of resources, over exploitation of land and dramatic climatic shifts that are creating unstable ecosystems. The negligence and commodification of the built environment is largely to blame.

Using Stavanger marketplace as a testing ground the studio sought to devise a benchmark in which the urban environment could develop in support of creativity, sustenance, and meaningful activity. This model is meant to be regenerative and malleable as a means of accommodating the increasingly complex and unstable conditions of the modern circumstance, while maintaining intimate and local cultures and connections.

INTERVENTIONS

ISSUE: CONTAINMENT

SOLUTION: CULTURAL ARMATURE (My primary involvement)

The notion of the cultural armature was manifested after investigating the issues of the urban context. There was an awareness of history, culture, politics, and economic ambition.

The solution must be sensitive to tradition while facilitating and anticipating the future. In doing word investigation culture was defined as : qualities and concerns of a speciďŹ c region or locale- and- style, art, vernacular, customs and traditions as they relate to a civilization. Armature was defined as; a scaold or canvas by which a work of art and culture can be facilitated.

ISSUE: LACK OF ENGAGEMENT IN MULTIPLE STRATA

SOLUTION: URBAN FLOOR There is a lack of connection within primary nodes of the city, and a void of activity within the underground dimension. We proposed a network of underground spaces which frame activity and provide conduits of energy to flow vertically and laterally. The urban floor is a fabric which stitches the surface and sub-surface dimensions of the city.

ISSUE: WAY-FINDING AND NAVIGATION

SOLUTION: CAMPANILE As a port city Stavanger is rooted in its relationship to the sea. The notion of way-finding and vertical/lateral navigation is discussed by inserting a spire which acts as an urban compass.

RESTORATION FOR A DECAYING TOWN

Upon visiting the town of Eureka I immediately noticed the lack of life and vibrance. It was a town separated and disparate. Buildings are abandoned. Streets are baron. Activity is dead.

There are remnants of a once presumably prosperous town named in the rejoice of discovery.

In recognizing this decaying condition the word coalesce seems like a necessary yet distant goal. The word “coalesce” means to grow together in one body; to blend or come together; to unite to form one mass. It is in this spirit of unity that a solution must be devised.

The site is located on the south-eastern side of town. It is disconnected from the downtown and situated between neighborhoods and scattered businesses. It’s dimensions are 280 feet by 178 feet, and within a larger open space adjacent to a four lane highway. The main gesture was to divide the site in to more intimate, more digestible zones, enclosed by walls and green space.

In doing so activity and engagement is encouraged, and the notion of community is explored.

THE HEART AND THE HAND We were tasked with designing a center for the instruction and practice of craft. Three specific craft disciplines were to be taught (glass, ceramics, and metal), each with their own studio.

The notion of craft was interpreted as a discipline and communion between human and material; person and nature. As the hand molds and shapes material, the body fatigues. And just as the human affects the artifact, the artifact affects the human. A binary and reciprocal shaping occurs. For the material is forever reshaped while the effort of the muscle is remembered and strengthened.

The process began by creating a device that made otherwise imperceptible realities or existing conditions illuminated. My solution to this challenge was to create a piece that produced an illusion. An image of black vertical bars was affixed to the back of a viewing box, and when introducing a second element with appropriately sized apertures the illusion of a third body is created. The idea of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts was explored.

MELLOM ROMMET: BETWEEN LAND AND SEA

The Norwegian municipality of Randaberg Kommune, and JĂŚrmuseet, the regional museum for the municipalities are holding a global competition for the design of a center devoted to the exhibition and education of the aquatic sciences and a history of water craft. The site is located along the coast of Randaberg, just north of Stavanger, with a protected harbor and in close proximity to the Tungenes lighthouse.

Existing harbor

We began by observing existing site conditions, traditional Norwegian water culture and the relationship between the harbor and the lighthouse. The setting is pastoral, with several vernacular farmhouses situated within a gently sloping site, with the lighthouse placed on its high point. Across this setting there exists a strong axis between the pier of the harbor and the lighthouse.

With this observation we found it necessary to construct a building that disappears within the setting and serves to enclose the public realm along the harbor while framing views to the lighthouse. The building is stretched horizontally and remains low in response to adjacent farmhouses, while sheltering from winter and summer winds. Visually the building acts as a bridge between land and sky.

PHOTOGRAPHY Seeing the world through a lens, to become spectator rather than participant, provides an interesting perspective. It allows one to frame and discover the inherent beauty of the world. I’ve always sought to capture things as they are not as I wish them to be. I’ve found that once I relinquished the notion of controlling circumstance, and instead adapting to it, life and work became more manageable.

SCULPTURE The act of craft is the relationship between self and world. To make manifest one’s creativity and desire within the properties of a material is an act of intimacy and vulnerability. Making and the operation of creation are imbedded in how I connect to others and how I intend to be perceived. To manipulate and mold isn’t an act triumph over material, rather the communion and realization of the material and the individual.
