Chile Design/Build - Proposal Antihuala, Chile 50sqm

The building is located along the trail at the north end of the lagoon. The idea is to provide a space that connects the interior to the natural exterior space. The building have two masses and an exterior connecting space in between. One of the masses is a flexible space, where the Antihuala community can use for several kinds of events and gatherings. The large movable doors/walls create an enclosed space for private gatherings and a large space for more open inclusive events . The other space is for kayak storage, where the kayakers and the community can use and have easy access to the lake while providing a safe storage space.

Chile Design/Build - Built Antihuala, Chile 55sqm

The pavilion constructed on the southern end of the laguna Antihula increased the recreational and educational use of the lagoon by the local community. Through the fundraising and design that started at IIT, the team were able to work with the local community and Arauco to complete the building. The construction of the pavilion led to a dialogue to continue building and provide access to the Laguna and the use by the community.

Old Town Live-Work Old town neighborhood Chicago 10800 Sqft

The mixed use commercial/residential building is based on how it is accessed from the site. The entrance for the residential on Schiller street, offset from Wells street, which is a more private street. The public entrance however is located on Wells street offsetting from the front, the concept is to inter the building indirectly and experience the culinary training space before the dinning room which then leads into an open patio space.

The opening of the building is on the corner of wells and Schiller st. this is because it provides a view to the most active area of the site. In order to add to the rich texture of the neighborhood, I used concrete and wood for building facade material.

Harris School of Public Policy University of Chicago 122,400 sq ft

An adaptive reuse of a historic Edward Durell Stone building, that has most recently served as a residence hall. The Harris School was looking for a building that was evocative of their approach; this required a collection of social and collaborative spaces in addition to classroom and individual office space. The old core and its dispirit structural system was carved out and replaced with a courtyard straddled by new stair cores that support a deep truss, that contains a new fourth floor lounge, that suspends the lower infill floors.

We preserved the outer ring of the building; it’s dormitories and converted to faculty offices, decreasing the project’s footprint of waste. On the existing facade is the introduction of a cantilevered auditorium that projects out of the building acting as the new entry to the building and focal point of its new use. The whole building is stitched together with the ‘data ribbon’, a system of pin up space, digital projection screens, and writable walls that link all programs with each other and act of the interface for exchange of ideas and though through out the building.

“Public policy has entered a period of dramatic change; one in which ‘big data’ presents both promises and threats to policy-makers. Big data offers a chance for policy-making and implementation to be more citizen-focused, taking account of citizens’ needs, preferences and experience of public services. But it is also technologically challenging for government, and presents new moral and ethical dilemmas to policy makers.” Helen Margetts

Uptown Idea House Chicago IL 20000 sq ft

The project is a community center that compliments the diversity of the neighborhood by providing training and resources to its diverse types of inhabitants. Mostly to the economically challenged. The space is divided in a way that fosters a sense of community, diversity an enrichment opportunity. For instance, training and employment opportunities. The space is divided by a wall, one side of the wall is a climbing wall and the other side is a living wall. Half of the adjacent side of the living wall is aquaponics space on first and second floor and half is designated for classroom and public market.

The other side of the wall is connected to a cantilevered sport training area and the space above is where classes for stage-performance located.

Section Model The study of space started with the initial idea of the wall consisting the rock climbing opposite to the green wall. I built out from the wall and to the adjacent spaces. Through this model, I discovered the other spaces and the basic layout of the idea house and the program interaction with each other.

Mid-Century Modern Table Dimension: 36*24*18

Anywhere in Ethiopia, women old and young are very skilled in the art of basketry. Different kinds and sizes of baskets are woven from grass, rye grass and sometimes sisal rope although usually, they are made from plain grass. Some people substitutes the rare and expensive colored grass with nylon threads that they recovers from the food aid nylon bags, to make a mesob. Invention is necessary in discovering the link between recycling and creating Using hard and soft material to create an object that resembles the original character of the traditional table. Wood and textile can be used, weaving the textile into the wood to create patterns that have appearance and qualities of Ethiopian/ African weaving patterns.
