JOHN KURTICH SALON/OFFICES
John Kurtich Salon
37 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, IL The functional programming of AIADO supports three primary user groups: Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects. The program at The School of the Art Institute includes the personal collection of a late SAIC faculty member, John Kurtich, who donated the sale of his Hyde Park estate to the campus and people he cherished most-- the SAIC community. His personal collection of more than 12,000 books, 240,000 slides, digital images, and intellectual properties were the focal point of the donation. The program includes: 1. conference-ready lecture theater 2. administrative offices 3. gallery spaces 4. plenty of open lounge areas With the two floors of public lounges and faculty offices, the goal was to bring natural light deep into the space, and to illuminate the center corridor with as much natural daylight as possible. The eastern wall of the space is a continuous floor to ceiling glass wall. By contrast, the western wall is more solid, with entrances into classrooms, wood shops, and an advanced output center.

THE GIRL EFFECT, NON-PROFIT
51 MILLION adolescent girls are married, yearly.
...that's the population of England
The Girl Effect
35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL The Girl Effect is a movement. It’s about leveraging the unique potential of adolescent girls to end poverty for themselves, their families, their communities, their contries and the world. It’s about making girls visible and changing their social and economic dynamics providing them with specific, powerful and relevant resources. Created by the Nike Foundation in collaboration with the NoVo Foundation, United Nations Foundation and Coalition for Adolescent Girls, the girl effect is fuelled by hundreds of thousands of girl champions who recognize the untapped potential of adolescent girls living in poverty.
While working in a studio at Gensler, I was asked to design an office space for the non-profit, Girl Effect. Because the movement is about encompassing change and hope for girls all over the world, I designed a space that did the same, as well as inspire those working for the cause. The fabrics in the space will solely be purchased from girls the Girl Effect affects, so that the company fully embraces what they stand for, change.

LVEJO COMMUNITY GARDENS
Contaminated Site, Jan. 2012
JLEVO, Troy Garden Little Village, Chicago, IL A former contaminated sites that comprises the first new green space in more than 80 years in a community that ranks second-worst in Chicago in available open space. Poised to be catalysts for local anti-obesity and climate change mitigation efforts. In the next phase of Little Village’s decade-long effort to transform this brownfield to greenfield, the nonprofit Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO) designed for gardening, learning, and gathering, the half-acre parcel at 2727 S. Troy will be a place residents can celebrate their gardening heritage. A central plaza, children’s garden, and gardening prep area, will complement raised ADA accessible planting beds where gardeners can grow vegetables. Plaza amenities will include a cooking oven, pergolas for shade, benches, and hoop houses. Shipping Containers will act as both a social hub for the community as well as an education center.

Phytoremediation consists of mitigating pollutant concentrations in contaminated soils, water, or air, with plants able to contain, degrade, or eliminate metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants from the media that contain them.
The utilization of organisms, primarily microbes, to clean up contaminated soils, aquifers, sludges, residues, and air. Advantages: Effective, economical, while traditional remediation methods DO NOT provide acceptable solutions for removal of metals from soils. Microorganisms that use metal as “terminal electron acceptors” or “reduce metals as a detoxificcation mechanism can be used for removal of metals from contaminated environments.
Previous studies recommend the use of sunflower plants, to effectively remediate soils contaminated with heavy metals.Such a technique, known as phytoremediation, addresses the treatment of environmental problems without the need to disinter the contaminant material resting below surface substances.
Our goal consists of employing natural methods of mitigate pollutant concentrations of mineral oil that have contaminated the soil within the site of Little Village’s soon-tobe built community garden, as well as, the surrounding soils. Examples of plants often utilized to degrade and/or eliminate crude oil, pesticides, metals, and explosives, include sunflower plants, hybrid poplar trees, alfalfa, and numerous grasses, such as rye, bermuda, and sudan grasses.
