Hub Step - Vortex Bridge Charlottesville, VA
The vor tex competition was a school wide, 10 day charette organized in teams of 10 students. The aim was to address the design of the B elmont Br idge in Char lottesville, which finds itself at the intersec tion of many different transit t ypes and var ying routes. Hub Step proposes a continuous democratic sur face where all transpor tation occurs on one level.
Competition, University of Virginia, January 2012 Collaboration, Critic: Margarita Jover
This continuous surface connects Lawrence Halprin’s pedestrian mall with other routes.
Disparate nodes, discontinued paths, segregated circulation define transit in the city of Charlottesville. Combining all forms of transportation, pedestrian, bus, bike, and can into a share bridge, Hub Step celebrates these differences into a central hub.

CYBERNETIC HOUSING Philadelphia, PA
This project aims to redensify the neighborhood of Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, by inserting small housing types on existing rooftops. The proposal intervenes into the regular housing block, causing the overall system to adapt to new densities.
Studio, University of Virginia, Spring 2011 Critic: WG Clark
The proposed material for the rooftop structures is a double polycarbonate panel system. The aim is for the new housing to glow above the existing architectural fabric. The material is meant to invoke lightness in comparison. The panelized system was established for ease of assembly. Structurally the cybernetic rooftop housing makes use of existing load bearing walls by directing loads to specific points.

FAYES INSTALLATION San Francisco, CA
This pop-up installation was designed for Fayes Video & Espresso Bar on 18th Street. The aim of the project was to provide a lightweight, low cost, and easily constructable and removable ceiling installation for the Holidays. The intervention occupies the coffee bar along the window front. Pop-Up Installtion, December 2012 by OOEE Studio
The installation was assembled in three days offsite and mounted to the ceiling at Fayes in an hour. The overall scope of the project was completed within a week of sketching out an overall concept for the installation.

The thesis aims to make visible the relationship bet ween matter and time with the design of a public par k g enerated by a temporar y Construc tion & D emolition rec ycling center. The system sor ts and combines waste mater ial, creating new generative and changing ecologies. I n the end, the rec ycling center consumes itself in effor t to construc t this new landscape.
Thesis, University of Virginia, 2011-2012 Collaboration
The recycling center is designed as a deconstructable building, based on material lifecycles and programmatic requirements. The landscape surrounding the building actively participates in the recycling process. The formation of new mounds occurs along the flood wall by combining unwanted recycled materials to form new and productive soil types. Other underused materials are combined in the canal to form a slow sand filtration system, remediating some level of toxins from the water.
The public park changes in multiple time scales, both daily as it is shared by sorting center workers as well as visitors but aslo bimonthly when the canal dredging produces new soil mounds. As the sorting center’s needs change so does the site, but always keeping a multiplicity of functions and users. In the end we imagine a shift in material flows which could lead the recycling industry to go extinct. In this time scale the site emerges as a new type of ecology, one which has become partially synthetic.

Avoiding an Architecture of Fear New Orleans, LA
The program required the design of a music school for the group roots of music. The following proposal rejec ts an architec ture of fear by confronting issues of stor m water by tur ning Bayou R oad into a detention channel. The proposed site is one in which building and ground are treating equally, thus creating an environment in which a constant connec tion to the wor ld is made possible by the creation of a multiplicit y of outdoor spaces.
