Entry to Piazza Biade From Northeast
Nuovo Forum Civico Vicenza, Italy Spring 2013 Vicenza is an ancient city in the Po River valley between Verona and Padova whose civic core is focused at one building, the Basillica Palladiana, the old center of town administration. Rather uniquely, on each side of the Basillica is one of the city’s four main pizzae, including the city’s heart, P. Signori. The site of the Forum Civico lies to the east of the Basilica, currently occupied by a postwar city office building, at the intersection of Piazza Signori and Piazza Biade, the second largest of the main piazzae. Due to a series of bad decisions in the post-war period, this has become a neglected and somewhat leftover part of the central urban ensemble. What responsibilites does a modern public building have in such a resolutly historic urban space? The Forum Civico aims to replace an austere set of offices with a more approachable and contextual building that includes support and service functions for the piazzae and the Basillica. Market space at the south of the project serves to reinforce the weekly market that happens south of the Basilica in Piazza delle Erbe. And the auditorium and accompanying small and medium event rooms on the upper floors provide spaces lacking in the city center. The rest of the building serves as a new home for the Palladio Library and Museum currently housed in one of the city’s palazzi.

Oregon BILDS House Eugene, Oregon Autumn 2013 Oregon BILDS is a design-build program at the University of Oregon and Lane Community College focused on providing students hands-on experience as well as giving firsttime homebuyers the chance for a affordable architect-designed house. Winter 2013 was the first time the program was able to have everything fall into place in order to actually build a house. The program also included coordination with two local affordable housing organizations, one which provided the site in northwest Eugene and the other which funneled the potential homebuyers through a series of homeownership classes and provided some financing. Our end design was a collaboration between all members of the studio: an approximately 2000SF, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with attached garage. My participation was only in the first term design studio, while construction occured in the second two terms before summer break, when the house was sold and occupied.

Park/Plaza at New Student Housing on Leon Mba
Universite Omar Bongo Master Plan Libreville, Gabon Winter 2014 Universite Omar Bongo is the primary institute of higher learning in Gabon, a small oil-rich nation on the equitorial coast of western Africa. Our project started the process of putting forth the first comprehensive master plan the university had had in its 40+ year existence. UOB’s current infrastructurue consists mainly of buildings from the 1970s and 1980s that can really only deal with 1/2 the capacity of its current student body of ~20,000. The new plan’s aim was therefore to present several proposals for future campus renovation and expansion while maintaining the few parts of the campus that users did love. Our team focused on designing an alternative for maximum redevlopment, replacing most existing buildings under 3 stories in the next decade or so and gradually creating a more comprehensive campus fabric. Key challenges included climatic-responsive design for the tropics such as maximum shading and cross-ventilation as well as site hydrology/slope/stormwater concerns. Campus has just recently been fully airconditioned and brownouts do occasionally occur so having buildings still comfortable without power was a priority, and the lower parts of campus often flood during the rainy season.

North Entrance of the Market Hall
James Beard Public Market Portland, Oregon Winter - Spring 2015 For all of its food culture and local ethic, Portland hasn’t had a permanent public market to bring all the residents of the city together around food since the Terminal Market in the 1940s. James Beard Public Market aims to correct that with a market hall at the western foot of the Morrison Bridge in the heart of downtown. My proposal aims to embrace another unique part of the Portland culture as its model: the negotiation and acceptance that happens on downtown streets around food carts—the coexistance of merchants, customers, passers-through, and the homeless sitting down. In the market this is expanded to a wider focus on accessibilty and safety for all, including the homeless and disabled. The ground floor envronment is designed both to have plenty of space for everyone to comfortably share and to have defensible spaces out of the way for people to feel safe. Other challenges included negotiating the space across and around the landing of the Morrison Bridge, which I decided to contain within tubes that double as billboards. Fruit trees are planted at the edge of Naito to both soften road noise and pollution as well as provide produce for sale.

For a year from the spring of 2013 to 2014 I worked in a group collecting data on occupancy and building performance at the Stellar Apartments, an affordable housing complex in west Eugene built mainly to Earth Advantage standard, but with one building aiming for Passive House standard. Our primary aim was to see how PH worked for multifam buildings where tenants would not always have the buy-in or knowledge of PH self-builders.
