Located at East 10th and the FDR in Manhattan, Modes of Compression uses a singular band to create three volumes, each created by tension and compression. The structure was generated using keyframe animation in conjunction with circulation data. The result is an open pavilion supporting a cafe, locker rooms and boat launch.

C H E M I C ALLY REFIN ED
Chemicaly Refined explores the aggregate qualities of liquid and its ability to create form through agitation, light, and texture. The result is refined by extracting the essential qualities of the aggregation with traditional and digital tools. Both architectural drawing and fabrication techniques are used to actualize the form, a transformation nature alone is unable to produce.

Earthwerks housing uses the movement and formation of contaminated soil as the catalyst for the generation of different typologies. This in turn varies the user experience depending on program and location. Below is a training laboratory meant to provide a employable skill set for the SRO residents. Above is a housing tower that provides housing for the trainees, scientist, and typical residents.

MECH AESTHETICS
Machine Aesthetics uses a myriad of machine parts to create both 2D and 3D imagery, Through the exploration of form, machines are defamiliarized and repurposed as aesthetic elements. The original functionality is replaced by open signifiers to showcase the possibilities of industrial aesthetics.

ARCTIC EXTRACTOR

Using the beauty of the natural and the industrial, Arctic Extractor explores the link between machine and nature. A structural base of ice and deconstructed oil rig components conjoin to create a mega machine that is both alien yet fitting in its arctic surroundings. Publicity images of this industrial behemoth convince the viewer that such industrial endeavors are possible, and therefore, worthwhile pursuits.

MEDIA CORTEX
Traditional theaters hide behind homogeneous doors along narrow hallways, disassociating the user from the architectural spaces in which media is consumed this in turn create uninspired processions from street to theater. Media Cortex reverses this theater typology by celebrating the procession as much as the theater. Galleries and theaters blend together through visual links on the exterior and circulation links in the interior, synthesizing in a familiar yet dynamic condition.

SWA GROUP: SLC CITY CREEK City Creek is a 1.4 billion dollar redevelopment of downtown Salt Lake City. While working at SWA I facilitated the coordination of CD sets with the structural engineers and architects. In addition, under the supervision of a senior associate I contributed to models using the 3D printer.

As Design Director I was tasked with developing playground concepts that utilize the existing manufacturing capabilities of our Swedish and US factories. Emphasis was placed on using the factory’s rotomolds, tube benders, and laser cutters. Marketed towards landscape architects, the designs use elementary play typologies such as climbing, jumping, and sliding.

Color Gradient Changes Seasonally

Floating Biotope behaves on water much as a tree does on land. Like leaves, the light column changes seasonally. As summer approaches, the warmer color begins to overtake the cooler. The pattern is cyclical reminding residents of the coming seasons. Furthermore, the base, constructed from a recycled plastic and foam matrix, allows vegetation to establish robust root zones filtering polluted water through bioremediation.
