COLORADO WIND POTENTIAL Conducted Surfaces Denver, Colorado
Problem: This project was a study of enrgy and reimagninng the urban fabric. As more people are moving back into the city, sustainable solutions are needed that use alternative sources of energy and re-think how we use the built environment. Design Solution: The core of this collects and stores heat that is conducted from a large adjacent parking lot to heat buildings, excess heat is also used to power a constructed hot springs on the site. Large swaths of switchgrass are grown on site and integrated into the landscape and harvested and converted to fuel for a car share program. Building form is designed to allow air circulation to cool the buildings. The architecture is designed to block the high angle summer sun and allow sunlight pennetration for the winter moths.

Carlsberg Brewery Copenhagen, Denmark Date: Fall 2011 Problem: Incorporate an intensive green roof system into the Carlsberg Brewery mixed use redevelopment. Design Solution: Using landscape as a connective tissue between the adjacent park and the building, this project proposed a series of connective “living bridges� as cultural and landscape infrastructure and as a way to bring people on the green roof. The green roof is divided into a series of programmatic uses including urban agriculture, native plants and gathering and entertainment spaces.
landscape becoming structure and the seamless integrations of the two. This idea was then applied to the proposed ing the connective tissue between landscape and building.

Design Solution: This park designs utilizes the industrial heritage of the site as a former shipping yard by re-using the existing shipping docks for recreation. The Park also incorporates many of the existing elements from the Worlds Expo, such as an existing pedestrian bridge to be converted into landscape and using existing expo buildings to be converted into a travelers village and shipping museum. Recreation is emphasized via large play-
