The client for this project, Chaos Cooking, is a New York based supper club that fosters informal communities through the process of preparing food. They host events in Manhattan lofts, where club members crowd into a private kitchen to prepare a group meal, generating a “home for the holidays atmosphere.� Conceptually, the elevated kitchen references both architectural language and underlying social implications of a balcony as a romanticized icon of informal hosting and a semi private gathering space. Here the image of a balcony instills casual intimacy and acts as a bridge to those on Riverside Avenue, unifying private and public communities during a collaborative celebration of food and friends. Inside, club members experience ephemeral spatial conditions that respond to the programing of temperature, material, and transparency.

Representation I learned from the work of Stan Allen and Atelier Bow Wow that representation can be a means of interrogating an architectural idea. Here, I challenged the success of the architecture against the experience. This method of thinking and representation has found a significant place in my design process.

Mixtec Stonecutting Artistry
Research under: Benjamin Ibarra-Sevilla Collaborators: Andrew Hawkinson, Theodore Gustafson, Tewodros Tsigue 2011 -2013
A partnership between Professor Benjamin Ibarra-Sevilla and the Mexican government, this exploration resulted in 3D scanning, point cloud analysis, digital reconstruction, and structural investigation of three historic vaulted churches in the Mizteca region of Mexico. The completed project provided detailed insight into the architectural history, methods, and building technology that informed construction of these incredible buildings. I worked collaboratively to represent research findings as digital animations, analytical drawings, diagrams, and models of the late-gothic vaulted structures. Then I 3D printed and reconstructed these vaults “stone” by “stone”. The drawings and models were disseminated as part of a traveling international exhibition that tells the story of the transference of building technology from Spain to Mexico during the sixteenth-century.

“Each piece of stone within a vault is a sculpture that has been shaped to form part of a stable, self-supporting structure working in compression. Widely defined as “the art of cutting solids into particular shapes”, stereotomy is commonly concerned with stonecutting and the representation methods involved in this process. This science uses descriptive geometry perfected by Gaspard Monge in Paris at the end of the eighteenth century as a depiction method” - Benjamin Ibarra-Sevilla

SKYliunking Into Play Instructors: Lisa Hsieh Spring 2013
Juxtaposed against the rigid structure of Cedric Price’s Fun Palace, this space soars as a dynamic structural system that transforms in response to the tension of the structure, condition of the environment and interaction of the public. The intrigue of exploring an ever-changing environment compels visitors to engage in this adaptive multidimensional public space. For this project, I broke away from my tendency to design in a digital environment and developed a structural system and workflow that called for physical modeling and photo-collage. This approach resulted in a more productive and efficient design process. For this methodology, I learned to sew, use Photoshop, and developed a strong working knowledge of tensile structures.

Midwest Climbing Academy Client: Richard Cargill, and Tyler Hoffart Collaborators: Tanek, Hillcrest, and Walltopia. 2013 -2014
The Midwest Climbing Academy is the first of its kind. Following Tyler Hoffart’s vision to create a youth specific rock climbing facility. The Academy is dedicated to the development of well rounded youth. Therefore, the facility is design to encourage physical, mental, and social development through the creation of spaces that are both safe and inspiring. Through collaboration with the climbing coaches we were able to create spaces that enhance both the coaches ability to teach, and their students ability to learn. We achieved this by leveraging the climbing walls to create a sequence of unique spaces that lend themselves to focused education. With gave specific consideration was given to safety, visibility, daylight, temperature, and acoustics. The success of the project was due to close collaboration between the coaches: Tyler Hoffart, Richard Cargill, and Zach Bramel. Tim Stone and Darren Aamot from Hillcrest Development. Nat Shea, Ken Piper, and Ryan Haro from Tanek Architects. The designers, engineers, and contractors from Walltopia. The ever talented Renaissance man Noah Ridge. Skills: SketchUp, AutoCAD.

Wild Rice
Instructors: Ozayr Saloojee, Vincent Debritto, James Wheeler Collaborators: Rachel Burand, MLA, Rachel Kerber, MLA Fall 2014
Located in Gary-New Duluth, MN, this project proposes wild rice will act as a catalyst for resiliency. This proposal aligns with the DNR’s eight hundred thousand dollar grant to re-seed wild rice along the St. Louis River Corridor. The architectural design of the Tasting Room, Production Facility, and Boathouse explore the relationship between traditional and modern wild rice harvesting, processing, and distribution. The Boathouse is necessary for growing and harvesting wild rice. The Wild Rice Processing Facility is a light industrial building needed to parch, cure, fire, and package wild rice. The Tasting Room located on Commonwealth Avenue serves as the storefront for sales, consumption, and gathering. Here costumers can sample and purchase the rice. Conceptually, these spaces are designed to expresses the flow of wild rices through the stages of harvesting, processing and distribution. Subtle shifts in the plan and section create moments of reflection and provide opportunities for the public to experience the journey of wild rice through its three stages, which comprise a significant part of the cultural heritage of Gary-New Duluth. Through architectural expression, the project demonstrates how traditional practices of the past can enrich the social and economic future of Gary-New Duluth. Skills: Site Analysis, GIS, Map Making, Site Plans, Grading, Site Desing, Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Communication, and Community Engagement.

Soft light washes the north wall to reveal differences in the size, color, and volume of the wild rice stores. Each vitrine displays a scaled portion of the rice harvested from local lakes. Historically, the Ojibwa depended on these rice stores to sustain the community for an entire year. Now, these stores provide a visual link between the community and the health of their environment. The sound of rice pinging off metal is a counterpoint to clanking pots and the autumn breeze through the hanger doors. When the sound suddenly stops you are left unsure if the harvest produced enough rice to last through the coming winter. In that moment, from the safety of your counter seat, you are warmed against the thought by the cacophony of the kitchen and the gentle glow of recessed lights hidden behind oak battens below the catwalk.

Light pours through an opening in the gallery ceiling to dance like water on an ancient tamarack push pole. Traditional tools are juxtaposed against industrial tools, used in tandem to process the harvest. Visitors are greeted by a seasoned rice harvester asking if they would help winnow the freshly parched rice. The harvester acts as ambassador, explaining the uses of artifacts on display, and grabs a birch bark tray on the way outside, ready to guide others through the process. The rich earthen smell of roasted wild rice rises on the shifting breeze as the steam is blown through the open bi-fold hangar doors. The sound remains, a discord between the monotonous mechanical rumbling of the parchers roasting rice and the staccato of moccasins grinding grains of rice into the ground. A shriek of joy strikes a sudden harmony, as the children run through the curing yard to chase rice husk blowing on the breeze.

The skylight accentuates the tension between traditional and modern wild rice practices. From within, the canoes appear to be venerated, showcased by the glow of light from the opening; the skylight both highlights their beauty and provides ample reflected light within. When viewed from above the skylight appears as a gash in the earth, presenting the canoes as entombed relics. Standing on top of the building, canoes are trapped within the earth while, on the horizon, motorboats race along the river. The sound of the boats reverberates into the boathouse. The subtle cant of the wall, inspired by Eero Saarinen’s Christ Church Lutheran, amplifies the acoustic experience of Mud Lake. As the sound of the boat fades, you are left listening to the wind, wild rice, and wild life.
