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 structural articulation is based on planting furrows that slice through the building. These furrows manifest as skylights, rain rills, facade reveals and bypass timber detailing. While the open market exposes all of its timber construction the thermally enclosed portion of the market conceals its concrete structure heightening the experience of shopping and eating beneath the heavy timber trusses. The two structures are entirely independent yielding a dynamic interplay between structural expression and supression.

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. A story telling space on the corner of Jackson and 20th anchors the program and provides a flexible space for community events and performances. Retail spaces and a cafe also front Jackson providing an active streetscape and revenue to support the center’s mission 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.

Baltimore is a city that was founded as a shipping port but was also known for ship building, fishing, crabbing, and sailing. Marylander Francis Scott Key penned the Star Spangled Banner while imprisoned on a British ship in these very waters. Today many Baltimoreans continue to enjoy spending time on or near the water. The Maryland Academy for Pedagogical Sciences (MAPS) Building is sited on the water’s edge to reconnect Baltimore with its riparian past. The building frames views of both Baltimore’s historic shipping past to the south and its future as a business center to the north. By rooting the building firmly with its urban surroundings and enhancing exising ecosystems MAPS will emerge as a vital presence on the Baltimore waterfront. The development of the marina site will include a wetland area. The purpose of the wetland area is two-fold – it will anchor an interpretive boardwalk for the city and will also perform as a storm water management tool. The nature walk will create pedestrian traffic around the campus, fully utilizing the site and views of downtown Baltimore. The boardwalk will also shadow the historic waterfront walk that was lost when City Dock was closed decades ago. This unique amenity will once again allow Baltimoreans to travel along the water’s edge from the Inner Harbor to Fells Point. The wetland is deigned to naturally manage storm water by filtering site run off, absorbing storm swells and providing aquatic habitats.

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.

The Rachel Carson Alumni center is an investigation into how a building can facilitate transions. The building serves as a meeting place for future alumni approaching the completion of their education and former students briefly reclaiming their former identity as Hopkins students. A courtyard wrapped in the traditional material palette of the surrounding architecture replicates the traditional outdoor rooms throughout the campus. Located on the sloping edge of a dense urban campus the building serves as an extended gateway to the academic core. Visitors and students transition from the lower, exterior urban condition of Charles street, up a stair to the courtyard and pastoral campus beyond. Named in honor of famed naturalist Rachel Carson the design uses planting and foutains to create a heightened connection with the natural environment of the historic campus.
