Philosophy I believe that architecture is about simultaneity; the privilege to layer, extract, build up, break down, collect and re-present the complexity of the places we inhabit.

Ungdomshuset, or “The Youth House,” was located at Jagtvej 69 in the Nørrebro Neighborhood of Copenhagen, Denmark. Its musical and political scene made Ungdomshuset a symbol of youth culture in Copenhagen, as well as abroad, for over 20 years. On March 5, 2007 the building was demolished after a long and arduous battle with the municipality. The conﬂict surrounding the demolition of Ungdomshuset rallied many groups to come to its aid, and became an outlet for voicing larger issues about public space, marginalized groups and ‘free spaces’ within the city.Though many still lay claim to the site, it has remained empty since its demolition.

G uld b erg g

This project explores the potential of conﬂict to generate new typologies. Through a new undulating topography, and program elements that support collective action, the landscape constructs a dialogue between the past and the open-ended future.

connections to external networks

The void of the site is left in tact and becomes a physical representation of the traumatic memory; a record of a past that begins to construct a new narrative. The new topography is manipulated so it begins to establish sectional relationships between the site and adjacent courtyards and as mounds establish relationships as objects in plan.

The landscape is a layered surface. The manipulation of the surface to create voids beneath it and zones within it creates a framework to be used and appropriated. By blurring thresholds and typologies the project is never one thing or the other but hovers in between depending on the perspective. It cannot be understood as an object but rather perceived through the experiences and activities it engenders. The earth becomes the permanent layer. Groups and programs, the inďŹ&#x201A;uence of which inform and transfer through to the surface, occupy voids beneath the surface. The ground becomes a field for more temporary interventions the ground upon which figures can appear and dissolve in the composition of the situation. The layers of ephemerality allow for the project to embed itself within the site rather than impose itself upon it. Its identity constantly shifting as the city evolves around it. 6

The excavation of the metro provides the situation to employ the concept of blending histories through displacement. The earth from the metro becomes the substrate form which space is created and consumed. The earth serves as the formwork to create the mounds. Concrete is poured over the earth and then excavated through openings. Where the mound cross the threshold to adjacent courtyards a cut is created to provide inhabitants of the courtyard access to the mounds. The excavated earth becomes the landscape between the mounds; an undulating interface molded such that the angles of repose invite different uses and activities.

public programs

The topography creates varied public and programmatic spaces simply through a difference in elevation. The undulating landscape steps back from Jagtvej to allow space for markets and events; cycles of activity that fill and empty. A new topography lifts to create a venue space that can house interior events or open to the interior of the site for outdoor events and shows. Many collectives within the city have established space for themselves in the periphery of the city but these spaces are often makeshift without amenities or access. Providing program that could be used by these groups within a center of the city allows an opportunity for access and exchange that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t otherwise be possible. 9

Layered Surface

Industrial ceramics factory and residency Lene Tranberg Master Studio

The city is a surface of embedded layers. Over time layers are lost,shifted buried, rebuit and replaced.The project began with the analysis of Sanborn maps as a record of the built fabric of the city. This landscape was once the waters edge; the buildings, supported by pilings, followed the organic shoreline. The city grid erased much of the informal nature of the city. Within the grid shift,leftfover spaces provide for opportunities to reference the portait scale of early Seattle while providing cultural infrastructure for layers to come. This project proposes that the steam plant be converted to the production of industrial ceramics, with the adjacent site converted to studios, exhibit areas and a shop to support an artist-in-residence program. Based upon the model of a European work center, the facility provides opportunities to experiment with the artistic potential of industrial techniques

Studio and Study trip in conjunction with Gehl Architects of Copenhagen Denmark using Jan Gehlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principles for good city life. The project stitches the new LINK station to the existing of the Mt Baker neighborhood by creating a true transit hub incorporating a bike commuter center, bus hub and the lightrail station to make multiple modes of transit accessible and convenient . By providing the infrastructure for communities to adapt and create thier own sense of place a nighborhood can continue to evolve and adapt.

Cocooning the Unchangeable City Infrastructure of making for social change- Rome Biennale Pavillion casalino 900

saxa rubra

The mausoleum of augustus is currently a stagnant historic site, layered with controversy over its development despite its pervious uses as a opera house, theater, bullfight ring and scuptor studio. Roma encampments are both sites of controversy as well as culture where a strong aritsan culture persists despite the lack of infrastructure. The pavillion provides the infrastructure for roma artisans to work and organizations to hold events and workshops. The pavillion would be used by roma, artists and architects to foster a collective interest in the issues of immigration, dwelling and place through a common thread of making. The Cocoon is constructed using scaffolding that would be used for the restoration of the mausoluem. The workshops follow the footprints of the medieval fabric that was removed in 1936 by Mussolini. The pavillion provides access and exposure to a marginalised group to allow a new perspective on what is changeable in the eternal city.

The design proposes the shift from spectator to participant through the concept of pick-up. The idea of a pick-up game implies accessibility and informality. Pick up games can exist through a spectrum of activities from classic sports to more alternative sports to digital games. Flexible spaces allow for constant cycles of change and innovation. Seattle Center becomes a testing ground for new ideas by allowing spaces to be occupied by entrepreneurs of all ages and collaborate across disciplines.

Installation P{alley}dromes

Pages of the city

Nord Alley, Seattle

Seattle, Wa

P{alley}dromes was created as a large scale art installation for Nord Alley in Pioneer Square. The installation uses palindromes ( a line or verse that reads the same forward and backward) etched into plywood, painted or filled with moss that will grow to fill the letters over time.The linear nature of both palindromes and alley invites vistors to walk these under utilized spaces to read and try to make sense of the phrases.This project was funded by the City of Seattle Small Sparks Neighborhood Matching Grant and in collaboration with International Sustainability Institute, Sarah Marshall and Jenny Kempson.

An exhibition designed to display and promote a book created during an international design studio in Rome, Italy in Fall 2010. The studio was framed around the Venice Bienalle and the potential of the temporary pavillion within the eternal city. The installation displayed the pages of the book within a field of suspended balloons so one can explore the book as a series of images and observations; much like the students explored Rome, rather than a linear experience from beginning to end.

A.H. Hammond Factory

Brewer Fountain

Worcester, MA

Boston Common, Boston MA

The A.H hammond factory was originally the top producer of organ reeds in the world. The property was listed individually on the national register for historic places and therefore eligible for funding at the state and federal level. The building was rehabilitated for 40 units of affordable housing. Extensive historic research and documentation was required for Parks service approval for funding. Responsibilities included measuring and drafting the 260,000 sq ft complex, cataloging 246 windows of different varieties to create window details and wall types, and construction that would meet park service approval.

The brewer fountain is one of 6 fountains created after its debut at the 1855 Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair in Paris. The fountain was placed on axis with the State house in Boston in 1868 to commemorate municipal water to the city. The fountain stopped functioning in 2003 and the task at hand involved extensive research and exploration into the structure and mechanisims involved to restore the fountain and create a water system that could be recirculated.

William Wood Park Master Plan

Residential

Andover, MA

South Shore, MA

William Wood, the founder of the American Wool Company created a live-work community for his employees called Shawsheen Village (now present day Andover Ma. The community was meticulosly planned by Wood to be a model for factory communities around the country. After WWI the demand for wool uniforms dropped drastically and the village did not become the utopia Wood had intended. The park, within the heart of Shawsheen was designed as a memorial and recreational space to retell the rich history of this American entreprenuer.

Small and large scale renovations and new construction on the South Shore of Massachusetts. Designs would be hand-drawn through design develoment and digital through construction documents .
