This Chicago Contemporary Arts Center is located adjacent to the Tribune Tower on Michigan Ave. The idea behind the CCAC was to look at the juxtaposition of Art verses News to describe current events: the Emotional to the Rational; Expression instead of Facts; Tension and Compression.
Upper Level
The CCAC is an arrangement of cubes within an organic roof structure. There is a path that leads throughout the cubes and ends with a grand view overlooking the plaza. The CCAC includes two cafes, a gift shop, and a large public plaza to enjoy throughout the year.
The Chicago Contemporary Art Center displays both an emotional and rational look in both the art it displays, and how it was designed. It is a place to experience both ways of thinking, because a picture is worth more than just a thousand words.

This project was to create a literary center for the Clifton area. My design included bringing nature into the community by reflecting Burnett Woods, located directly across the street. This would be done by a large concrete wall that would cut through the entire building in both plan and section.
The wall would be covered in plants growing in built-in shelves. The wall follows the main circulation space so as people move through the building they constantly see nature and then are pointed to the entrance to Burnett Woods, a great source of nature in their own community.
The Literary Center includes a community area with a small cafe, stacks for local publications, a private conference room and study areas for students. There is also a small apartment on the second level for visiting authors.

I decided to create an interior space based on the inspiration for Burt’s Bees itself: the bee hive. My concept focused on the hive and how it provides a space for the bees to develop their own natural ingredients. With this idea I wanted to focus on two things that I
believe are essential to the success of a bee hive: collaboration and circulation. The different spaces were designed to encourage collaboration in and between different parts of the company while instilling the brand image of Burt’s Bees.
From formal training areas to picnic tables on the terrace, the entire building encourages the occupants to communicate and share ideas for creating better and more natural products.

My co-op experience allowed me to create custom millwork pieces and various signage options. I designed a custom storage piece that would be placed between the treatment chairs of an oncology center.
These units would provide storage for both nurses and patients as well as provide a TV monitor and small bench seat. The signage would be used for wayfinding along the corridors of the oncology center.

One of the first skills we are taught is how to field sketch or create a representation of spaces that you see on sight. To learn this skill I made a series of field sketches of various buildings and details. These drawings were done with pen on bristol paper or with charcoal on newsprint.

This was a group design and construction project. The exercise was to make a screen that could be taken apart and used as seating. We chose to design these benches that would appear to curve both individually and when placed together. The units were made from MDF and twine.
These photographs show beginning sketch models and the group during the construction process. The center images show the final units stacked to create both seating and a screen. Photos belong to group members.
