DEVELOPING DISTRICTS springfield, or
fall 2013
enhancing the existing identity of downtown springfield
This project, completed in collaboration with Nicole Ghiselli and Regan Greenhill, aimed to address specific design issues presented by Springfield cities officials to the sustainable cities initiative (sci). throughout the course of the term, my team worked closely with the city of Springfield, Oregon to establish realistic short term and long term goals as a tool to gain momentum and support within the community as well as from prospective developers. The studio encompassed elements of planning, urban design, architecture, and landscape architecture and sought to enhance the existing infrastructure and character of the city through the development of potential districts that were identified during the analysis phase.

WHITEAKER BRANCH LIBRARY eugene, or
fall 2012
social sustainability
Skinner Butte Park, the site of the branch library, is located within the eccentric Whiteaker district of Eugene, Oregon. Known for its abundance of fledgling local businesses and alternative art and music scene, the presence of community, creativity, and collaboration is very prominent. Initially considered the primary industrial sector of the city, the recent influx of young entrepreneurs has transformed “the Whit� into a newly commercial and residential district, resulting in a highly diverse population. The design intent of the branch library was to respond to the strong cultural presence of its context, which was pursued through an incorporation of arts education, performance and gallery space, community gathering space, and a strong connection to the surrounding physical environment to emphasize the sustainable initiatives of the Whiteaker district and the surrounding Eugene area.
