The locovore movement is changing the way people eat and the way people think about food. By transforming an under utilized parking lot the University District Market provides a place for this movement to take root and grow. Sharing a site with the historic University Heights School the project also serves to restablish the 1902 structure as vital part of the community. A large public plaza located between the school and market provides space for an expanded farmer’s market and community activities while expressing the site’s long standing role as an open space within the University District. The tectonic language of the University District Market draws inspiration from the agricultural processes that provide its goods for sale. Just as agriculture shapes landscapes to serve its ends the building combines with the site to create an urban landform. The roof of the market rises up from the ground forming an elevated roofscape. This roof will become the principal facade of the building as the surround context grows in height.

The International District Center for Buddhism intensifies and extends its tight sloping site. The project ammends Kobe Terrace Park to create a larger continuous landscape. To maximize available landscape the program was orgnanized to a minimal footprint and extruded vertically. Three cross laminated towers provide individual spaces, or kuti, for retreat participants to sleep, meditate and be mindful. With one unit per floor the tower form allows for a heightened sense of privacy and isolation. Common spaces for group meditation and eating bracket each tower at the top and base. The large temple hall provides space for community events and group retreat activities. An upper gallery wraps the double height temple volume facilitating walking mediation in inclement weather. On warmer days as series of paths links the towers , temple and surrounding gardens drawing participants out into the landscape.

Seattle’s Central District has been a crucible for many of the race issues facing the city for decades. The Seattle Center for Civil Rights and Labor History provides a space for a physical and digital archive of this rich history. The building contains video and audio production studios to allow residents and academic researchers to continute to document the ever changing landscape of the Central District. The Center is orgainized around a large public plaza that serves as a community gathering space as well as a source of diffuse light for the gallery that rings around the court. The interior elevations of this outdoor room are animated with images of the civil rights and labor movements in Seattle. Three stories of affordale housing were added to the program. As rents in the neighborhood rise more and more of the living legacy of this vibrant place is dissolving. Treating affordable housing as a civil right this project seeks to preserve the population of the Central District while fitting in with the current and anticipated character of the place.

(RE)CONSIDERING AN UNDER UTILIZED SITE
Despite its location on the north shore of Portage Bay the University District does not identify as a waterfront neighborhood. The massive area consumed by the University of Washington physically separates the U-District waterfront from the fabric of the neighborhood. WIth the impending arrival of the light rail station on Brooklyn Avenue, the site, currently occupied by a service parking lot and storage, will become increasingly accessible. The ammenity that is Portage Bay, its potential uses, and connection to Lake Union and beyond present the opportunity to activate a large waterfront park and swimming and bathing facility. The water related programs associated with both the building and site will increase awareness of one of Seattle’s great waterfronts while serving both students and the greater Seattle community. The contaminated former industrial site will utilize bioremediation to restore habitat. Floating wetlands will help to clean the waters of Portage Bay while providing habitat for migrating salmon. The bathing facilities within the building will provide mental respite and a strong connection to the natural surroundings of portage bay for visitors. The project purifys the land, water and the human occupants of the site

DESIGN Thesis presents the opportunity to develop a project on their own before they transition from the academy to the profession. The CBE Thesis House provides enhanced facilities for students to develop their thesis projects. The site raises the quesion of how to operate an architecture school between a constellation of three buildings. The Thesis House was developed in direct response to the two existing buildings. Architecture Hall was built for the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition and was developed as a figure in a campus context. Gould, was built outside the protection of the traditional campus and placed its most exciting program hidden within its concrete exterior. It also responded to the urban condition of the block by filling out its site The new project places the public program directly on the street to engage and welcome the Campus and Seattle community while also responding formally to the recently constructed West Campus development. The parti of two shifted bars zones the site with smaller support spaces on the south and the large studio volumes on the north. The shift between the bars provides views from the studios and crit spaces toward downtown to the south, a place where many students will continute their careers at the completion of their thesis.

Campus plan highlighting site and addition Working in professional practice has provided me with a broad range of experiences that haveenhanced my understanding of design and construction. As a member of multiple project teams I have contributed to diverse projects from programming to construction administration. Working closely with designers, engineers and clients I have found that architecture is a truly collaborative endeavor that draws upon a vast set of talents. In my professional experience I have developed many of these abilities and am eager to put them to use. The Center for Sciece in Society at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida drew on all of my abilities as an architect and designer. The project was comprised of a gut renovation of a 1950’s structure as well as an addition to the existing building. The addition to the south includes an atrium and additional lab and classroom spaces. The project fits in with the consistent traditional architectural language of the campus while providing a modern and engaging interior for students and faculty.
