Swedish Monumentality
Combining the Client’s tastes for both custom furniture and generic Ikea pieces, the monumental furniture in this house is made up entirely of Ikea pieces and parts. The furniture takes on qualities of Ettore Sottsass / Memphis Group furniture, in which the furniture becomes architectural, pushing against the space while life occurs in the resulting nooks and crannies. The pieces become so large and all-encompassing that one piece is the equivalent of a room.

Sm책land House
Longitudinal Section
The house is encompassed by a large roof that reaches down to the ground, and skylights are pitched up to highlight each piece of furniture. Shadows of the furniture are cast from several directions, and the overlapping results are expressed in a multi-faceted veneer pattern that reflects the geometry of each piece of furniture.

Burma-Shave on LSD Spring 2015 Professors Sarah Dunn and Sean Lally
Burma-Shave on LSD sits within the intersection of I-55 and Lake Shore Drive. The Hospital, Hotel and Spa functions of the complex are housed in towers, which recall the forms of buildings of that typology within Chicago. These Chicago-forms integrate themselves into the site by stranding from their bases and dividing their footprints, imitating the sweeping geometry of the underlying interchange. Drivers passing through the interchange are essentially driving through a giant building-scale sign, with each tower advertising its function, in the language of Chicago architecture, working similarly to drive-by Burma-Shave ads. The strands intersect above the interchange and the public programs of each tower mix together, creating unexpected adjacencies that mix health and leisure.

On Military Science Fiction and Architecture Machines designed for warfare have been, since Vitruvius, tied to the discipline of architecture. The design of machines, especially for siege warfare, is one of three duties of the classical architect, along with the design of buildings and timepieces. Siege engines are at a size between, and thus bridging the gap between, sculpture and architecture. When deployed in large numbers, the siege engines occupying a city can be, as Bob Somol argues while describing John Hejduk’s Berlin Masques in “One or Several Masters?,” a hybrid sculpture-architecure-urbanism. The Berlin Masques are fantasy mobile war machines that have the ability to dynamically alter the urban condition. Like trebuchets or howitzers, in large numbers they can radical alter the form of a city, through disruption instead of destruction. Big, fantastic, mobile sci-i machines can and should be read as architecture.
The scale of a Hejduk-esque siege engine forces it to be observed and interacted with as both a vehicle and architectural object. A Hejduk installation in a Berlin exhibition hall and a giant robot in a carrier hanger occupy space in the same way. A machine at this scale is a few steps closer to architecture than sculpture. Although it is site-less, a war-machine has some sort of program and/or function, and if piloted has an interior, exterior and implied axes, based on the orientation of the human within (discounting any anthropomorphic external form). The hangar-bound sci-i war machine, whether an anthropomorphic giant robot or a spaceship or an other fantastic vehicle is, within its context an architectural object enclosed in another architectural space.
Contextualism or “The Beast of London Takes Root in Chicago” Fall 2015 Entry to the 2015 Burnham Prize Competition Selected for Display (No Award)
Chicago has been invaded by an archi-demon brought forth by the London-centric nature of contemporary english language architectural discourse. The massive mechanical beast uses its pseudo-local forms to attempt to disguise its presence. Clad in post-modern armor and shooting Monadnock-spire-spikes out of its back, it takes root in the Loop and begins to grow into architecture that is contextual to a fault. With an apparent resurgence in Prince Charle’s interest in architecture and London’s difficulty in integrating tall buildings with its views, fabric, and public image, there is a looming possibility of British problems leading to a mass social media push for urban strategies that are not, and have never been, appropriate for American cities. A return to “human proportions” means nothing to a city with disproportionate shoulders; bigness is our context.
LUCY for a Stable Life w/ Drew Stanley Fall 2015 Professor Sean Lally Safety comes in all shapes and sizes, but can generally be understood as a form of being protected from exposure to something that causes health, social, or economical issues. It’s expected that most would advocate for additional safety measures where possible, provided these elements did not interfere with everyday life. This LUCY proposal seeks not to provide supplemental security devices, but rather a set of information that a user can begin to consider and use to make decisions about their well-being. Whether the user is seeking to change their personal environment via physical, psychological, social, or financial conditions, LUCY can help guide them to safety.

3D Printed ABS Plastic Base 9V Battery
Barometric Pressure Sensor Level 1 - Atmospheric Engagement
1. Wearable barometer and clothes-implanted wind-speed measurers that allow for instinctive weather forecasting. 2. Implantable giger counter alerts user via nerve response when the user has been exposed to dangerous levels or radiation. 3. A glass filament for car windows that, when exposed to too much UV radiation, 4. expands to reduce the amount of UV rays that pass through the glass. 4. Modern-day suitaloon that, when deployed, protects the user from all atmospheric conditions and human emissions (carbon dioxide, dust, wi-fi, UV rays, etc.) and keeps them in a completely sterile, oxygen-loaded environment for up to 2 hours. 5. A voltage meter that can detect a lightning strike just milliseconds before striking a house or building, which then switches off the main power source temporarily to keep precious elements from short circuiting.
PIR Motion Sensor Level 2 - Indirect Engagement
1. A device within the nervous system that lets the user know they are about to experience post-traumatic stress disorder, a warning of likely only milliseconds. 2. A device that can sense if a user will become depressed if they remain in their current sedentary situation (physical space), and suggests that they become active or change locations. 3. A gps-enabled chip implanted into your skin that sends and receives information to all of your bank accounts, so if a purchase is made outside of your current location you will be notified and the purchase can be flagged as fraudulent. 4. An algorithm that takes soundbites of everything a political candidate has ever said and determines if he or she is capable of running for a certain political position, and, could even encourage that person to run for a higher position of power.
Fast Vibration Switch Level 3 - Indirect-Direct Engagement
1. An internally planted device that measures brain activity and can determine and inform the user if they are approaching peak emotional levels, such as depression, terror, anger, or joy. 2. A microphone that detects sound waves in abusive language that then informs a person if they are being verbally abused. 3. A device that can quantify the amount of shame that a person feels, which can then inform that user of their psychological situation. 4. Implanted body temperature monitor connected to an HVAC system that allows for local temperature change within a large space. 5. A security system that connects a homeowner to their dog, so that when their dog barks during a specific set time, the homeowner is awakened when the dog barks via nerve pulses whether they heard the bark or not.
Tilt Ball Switch Level 4 - Direct Engagement
1. A Hard-Soft running track that can detect falls and quickly respond. 2. A polymer that, when worn, protects vital organs from being exposed to wi-fi signals. A hat or helmet is also encouraged. 3. Reactive armor skin activates during dangerous situations or sudden atmospheric changes. 4. Inert implanted neck brace that becomes rigid when an implanted / helmet-mounted gyroscope measures whiplash. 5. A fingerprint detector on a door knob/handle that, when turned on, will shock a person if their fingerprints do not match those that are approved. This will also alert the police.
Orange Dots 101 w/ Drew Stanley Fall 2015 Professor Sean Lally
While advancements in technology have led to a greater multitude of leisure possibilities, this increase in technology (we check our cell phones over 200 times a day) has led to the reduction of once-necessary dedicated leisure space. This ultimately reduces the impact local has on leisure as we have become over-saturated with everything global all of the time. This proposal seeks to tweeze out aspects of this technological saturation and refine it to establish a local system of inherent opportunities, resulting in a new dedicated leisure space of local proportions. A new public space with a literal connective tissue enables users of varying technological abilities to come together and experience the same activity in their own personal way. Those unconnected to the system may recognize the environment as a familiar set of activities and events, while those that are connected may nd themselves eating more food than the human body is capable of or listening to what a traditional painting has to say.
Wifi Balloons
Floating hotspots that provide the greater infrastructure for the landscape, and project a local, isolated network to foster more local (but still electronic) communication.
Matchmakers
Local network interface that matches people based on shared interests and topics of discussion, a physical manifestation of an internet forum.
Island Games
A new form of visual communication between two players equipped with internal sensors. Users can use balloons to playfully interact and communicate using signals, color and elevation, creating a private but visual language.
Shy Monument
A monumental form that controls its own image. The monument shrouds itself in a cloud of mist, obscuring its physical form, and jams photography up to a certain range and from certain directions, controlling how it is represented on social media. Crowds form at the edge of its jamming range hoping to get the possible possible recoding of its existence.
Stalkers Disconnected from, but similar to, the matchmaker’s network, these missed-connectors act like mobile billboards and wander about the park, providing specific information and connections to whoever’s interested in them. They are programmed to seek out users whose various social media pro les correspond to the interests of the initial poster.

Scenario 1: Overcast Spring Tuesday Lunchtime
Activated by small events and ephemeral moments, an overcast spring Tuesday lunchtime is somewhat sparse, more likely to have people passing through or momentarily stopping by, instead of hanging around for extended periods of time. Small events typically consist of lunch crowds of 1-4 people per group (mostly white collar working class), consisting of local business men and women, construction workers, and students who are able to find 30-45 minutes away from their place of employment to engage in a social (or isolated) moment of cuisine, or even just a moment of decompression from work.
Scenario 2: Sunny Summer Saturday Afternoon
Activated by mostly large and small events, a sunny summer Saturday afternoon has a heavy influx of tourists and local residents attending a multitude of typical Chicago activities. A music festival brings an array of local and visiting teenagers, adults, hippies, ravers, drunks, Instagram addicts, freelance pharmacist, etc. seeking social opportunities through loud music. A local baseball game, perhaps the Cubs, is being publicly broadcast and brings local and visiting bros, millionaires, dads, and sons seeking common ground through America’s past time. Paired with these larger events, small events flutter nearby, consisting of yoga classes, running clubs, and crossfit training, bringing together local exercise enthusiasts, health advocates, or perhaps individuals recovering from external injuries.
Scenario 3: Clear Fall Tuesday Evening
Activated by mostly large and small events, a clear fall Tuesday evening brings sudden influxes of crowds due to events in a season which usually doesn’t draw many people outside. Tonight marks the opening tip off of the Bulls basketball season, bringing in disparate crowds to celebrate a once-in-a-year sporting event. An election night rally is also active, bringing together politically active users to simultaneously party and receive updated polling results. Smaller events linger around the park as well, driven mostly by the Chicago Architectural Foundation who is providing tours of the area.
Scenario 4: Snowy Winter Friday Night
Minimal activity, mostly small events and ephemeral moments, highlight a snowy winter Friday night as the park and the surrounding area have completely emptied out at the end of the work week. The final hours of a seasonal winter market are coming to an end, as vendors start closing up shop. Various types of snowcraft enter the site as recreational devices, plowing through stalker-attracting snowmen. The snow dampens most of the noise, ultimately creating an unsuspecting therapeutic setting for relaxation for those who brave the cold.
