1 Olympic Boathouse The Olympic Boathouse project was to be an addition to the Naturebridge campus located in Olympic National Park in northwestern Washington state. The program included a space for a craftsperson in residence to live for nine months out of the year, a space for a small group of 12-20 year olds to stay overnight for up to three nights, a space for the construction of wooden kayaks and oars, as well as storage for existing kayaks and equipment. The initial concept was centered around a point-and-back circulation pattern. It reminded me of my own circulation pattern as I was at Naturebridge - where I was staying, where I would be relaxing and eating, and finally to where I would be doing the work. The kids would follow the same circulation pattern was they circle into through the building and then reverse the order to leave the site. The big moment comes in the connection of the site to the nearby Lake Crescent. The point of the design center is to help connect kids to the outdoors, specifically through kayaking. To help bring this focal point of the program to life, a small stream would be brought into the courtyard area of the building. The visiting children would be able to bring the kayaks to this stream and then travel downstream to explore the lake before returning.

2 Monet & the Quality of Light A semester long study of how light can affect the landscape and built environment. Inspiration for the project was taken from Monet’s “Haystacks” series which he painted in the late 1800’s. His series was comprised of paintings created of the same or similar subject in the same location at different times of the day and year. To recreate this, I chose a similar farm element - the barn on the south end of the University of Idaho’s arboretum - to study. This semester long lighting study showed helped me to understand the varying kinds of light the sun casts at different times of day as the seasons change. I also saw how much the colors of the surrounding landscape, the color of the structure being photographed, and the weather (overcast or clear) can help to change the mood and feel of the subject and space.

3 5Peaks Pavilion A structural proposal, 5Peaks Pavilion had very few requirements to satisfy. It had to span 100’ x 100’ while touching the ground in only 4 places. We were free to use any material and structural system. Precedent studies came from the Calgary Public Library by Snohetta, the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, and the origami fortune teller that is popular among school children. The idea was to great an open pavilion that would allow people to gather regardless of the weather and to interact on either the interior or exterior of the frame. In addition to making a structurally sound pavilion, one of the design goals was to play with the internal natural light. This was done by mimicing a mountain peak as it flows from a snow capped peak to the tree line and then to the more easily visible rock outcropping - by mimicing this transiion through the use of metal panels, frosted glass, and clear glass, the light is able to change into ifferent and unique patterns with the changing seasons.

4 Finnish Cubehouse A subtractive form for a modern journalist near the embassy’s in Helsinki, Finland, this residential design tried to maximize the indoor-outdoor relationship of a Nordic country where nice weather can be hard to come by. The form of the building was a given 9x9 square in plan and section, and then to find a way to make it fit the given profession. I developed a sketch model of the floor plan to help understand internal circulation patterns as they relate to the various floors, how lighting and shadows could be cost on the walls. It was also helpful when deciding on which perspective viewpoints to use as I could physically see the problem in more than a flat 2D image.

5 Landscape & Urban Planning The various plans and elevations were developed as part of an introductory class to landscape architecture graphics. They allowed me to explore a variety of media and develop a beginner understanding of how the landscape can be currated to add to the overall composition of a site/structure. That understanding was furthered in subsequent classes such as materials in the landscape and woody plants for the landscape.
