TO HONESTLY SUMMARIZE THE WORKS THAT I HAVE BEEN A PART OF SO FAR AND THE ASSOCIATED PERSPECTIVE DRIVING THEM, I CAN SAY THAT IT FUNDAMENTALLY COMES BACK TO VIEWING EACH PROJECT AS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. EACH PROJECT AS A CHANCE TO INTERVENE IN THE PERSONAL, LOCAL, REGIONAL AND GLOBAL CONTEXTS OF SOCIETY, ECONOMY AND ECOLOGY. BECAUSE OF THE CONTEXT OF OUR TIME, IF EACH PROJECT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THEN WITH EACH PROJECT COMES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE IT THE MOST EFFECTIVE, MEANINGFUL AND BEAUTIFUL WORK POSSIBLE. TO DO OTHERWISE WOULD MEAN TO HAVE WASTED THAT OPPORTUNITY AND HAVE LESSENED OUR SHARED FUTURE. I BELIEVE THAT WITH A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS OF OUR CIVILIZATIONS ROLE WITHIN OUR INTERDEPENDENT BIOREGIONS, AND A GREATER EMPATHY FOR OUR OWN THRIVING AND STRUGGLING PEOPLE, WE AS MAKERS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT MAY ENTER A NEW PERIOD OF DESIGN THAT TRULY SEEKS TO INTERVENE WITHIN THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURES OF OUR CONTEMPORARY CITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS SO AS TO ALTER THE LOCAL AND GLOBAL, FOR THE BETTER. I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE LEARNING HOW TO MAKE NECESSARY ARCHITECTURE. ARCHITECTURE THAT MAKES DAILY LIFE BETTER FOR PEOPLE AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, THAT RESPECTS AND ASSISTS LOCAL ECOSYSTEMS, THAT BENEFITS GREATER SOCIETY AND PLANET. FROM THE UNIVERSITY IT IS EASY AT TIMES TO THINK THAT “GOOD ARCHITECTURE” MEANS MORE GLOW ON A RENDERING, DYNAMIC ARROWS ON A SECTION, OR GRANDIOSE CLAIMS BACKED BY ENTICING DIAGRAMS. THE MORE I AM EXPOSED TO THE PROCESS OF TAKING AN ARCHITECTURAL IDEA INTO THE WORLD, THE MORE I AM AWARE OF HOW MUCH THERE IS TO LEARN BEYOND REPRESENTATION. HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS TO ARCHITECTURE THAN THE IDEALIZED IMAGES WE MAKE AND MODELS WE BUILD. HOW “GOOD ARCHITECTURE” IS A CHALLENGE TO REALLY ACHIEVE. THAT EVEN ONCE YOU’VE MADE ONE GOOD BUILDING, OR ONE GOOD SYSTEM, IT DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT TWICE. THAT RATHER THAN FINDING AN APPROACH TO REPEAT FROM PROJECT TO PROJECT, AS IT MIGHT SEEM APPROPRIATE DURING TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY, INSTEAD WHAT IS GAINED IS A SENSE FOR THE ARCHITECTURE TO COME, WHEN VIEWING ONLY THE DRAWING AT HAND. IT WOULD SEEM PRUDENT TO ACCEPT THAT WITH EACH COMBINATION OF A SITE, PROGRAM, BUDGET, USERS AND [UNTIL DISCOVERED] UNKNOWN CONTEXTS, THAT A SPECIFIC, POTENTIALLY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL RESPONSE MAY EMERGE, IF ONLY PERMITTED.

STATUS: SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOCUS: BUILDING AS ECOLOGICAL SCAFFOLD FLEXIBLE PROGRAM / TECTONICS SEQUENCE OF LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE THE PROPOSED DESIGN SERVES AS
A NEW BEGINNING FOR THE VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST TEMPLE OF PORTLAND OREGON. WITH THIS SCHEME, TEACHINGS ARE PUT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH THEIR SUBJECT MATTER: NATURE. HERE THE ARCHITECTURE SERVES TO NOT ONLY BRING ITS VISITORS INTO CLOSE RELATION WITH ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS, BUT TO ACT AS SCAFFOLD FOR THE PROPAGATION OF A NEW ECOSYSTEM. A PIPED CREEK IS DAYLIT AT ONE END OF THE SITE FORMING A NEW A WETLAND. THE BUILDING LIFTS ITSELF ABOVE THE EARTH SO THAT THE SITE, ITS PROMOTED HABITAT AND HYDROLOGY MAY REMAIN CONTINUOUS. THE BUILDING ITSELF ACTS AS HOST TO PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE, JUMPSTARTING ECOLOGICAL ACTIVITY UNDER THE STEWARDSHIP OF TEMPLE MONKS. VISITORS ENTER THE SITE WITH THE WATER ON AN OPEN SOUTHERN SIDE, TRAVELLING NORTH ALONG THE ARCHITECTURAL DATUM DEEPER INTO THE TREES, AND SACRED SPACE OF THE NORTH. (LEFT) [RELATION TO GROUND] THE LAND IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN CONTINUOUS. THE BUILDING STEPS DELICATELY UPON THE FOSTERED WETLAND ALLOWING PASSAGE ABOVE AND BELOW. 1/32” MODEL

EUGENE CITY HALL LOCATION: EUGENE, OREGON STATUS: SCHEMATIC & DETAIL DESIGN FOCUS:
BUILDING AS CULTURAL ARTIFACT URBAN INFILL SIMPLE FORM WITH COMPLEX DETAIL DETAIL DEVELOPMENT
THIS STUDIO PROJECT FOCUSES ON A NEW CITY HALL AND CIVIC BLOCK REDESIGN WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN OF EUGENE. A SOMETIMES MISUNDERSTOOD CITY, EUGENE SITS UPON OF A MIXTURE OF SOMEWHAT DIVERGENT DEMOGRAPHICS. THIS DIVERGENCE OF SUB-CULTURES (OF WHOM SOME ARE PARTICULARLY NOSTALGIC), CAN LEAD TO THE LACK OF A SHARED CULTURAL IDENTITY, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CIVIC CORE. THE AIM OF THIS INTERVENTION IS TO TIE TOGETHER THE DIFFERENT CULTURAL GROUPS OF EUGENE. THE NEW CITY HALL RECALLS A FUNDAMENTAL FORM AND AN ARCHETYPAL ATMOSPHERE, WHICH IS THEN ARTICULATED WITH CONTEMPORARY IDEAS OF SPACE, FUNCTION AND DETAIL. THE ENVELOPE BECOMES A SHELL, ADMITTING RAYS OF LIGHT BY LOUVERS TO THE INTERIOR SUSPENDED PROGRAMMATIC VOLUMES, THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS PROJECTING OUTWARD TOWARD VIEW FROM THE CITY. THE BUILDING ACTS AS A LARGE ATRIUM, PULLING AIR FROM THE NEARBY GARDEN, RADIATING WARMTH THROUGH THE SUSPENDED INTERNAL PLATFORMS.

[STUDIO WORK]
[ GROUND FLOOR ] THE BUILDING IS SPLIT INTO FIVE ZONES IN PLAN. TWO ATRIUMS AT EITHER CITY BLOCK CORNER (THE NORTH AND SOUTH EDGES), SEPARATED FROM THE CENTRAL OFFICE AREA BY VERTICAL CORES OF CIRCULATION AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. IN THIS WAY THE BUILDING PROVIDES TWO CEREMONIAL ENDS FOR THE BLOCK, KEEPING FUNCTIONAL AREAS IN BETWEEN. THE SOUTHERN ATRIUM, WHICH HOLDS THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, CAN OPEN COMPLETELY ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR TO THE OUTER PLAZA. THE LARGER ATRIUM AND COUNCIL CHAMBER MAY BECOME PART OF THE PUBLIC REALM.
[ SECOND FLOOR ] AFTER ENTERING THE SOUTHERN ATRIUM, ONE MAY WALK UP THE MAIN STAIR UP TO THE SECOND LEVEL TAKING THE CATWALK ACROSS THE TRIPLE HEIGHT SPACE TO THE SEEMINGLY FLOATING COUNCIL CHAMBER VOLUME. DEEPER INSIDE THE BUILDING, THE OFFICE AREA BECOMES A SERIES OF LEVITATING FLOORS WHICH ARE CUT BY SHAFTS OF LIGHT AND A SUB ATRIUM AT CENTER. SMALLER VERSIONS OF THE COUNCIL CHAMBER VOLUME LIE TO THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE BUILDING AND PROJECT OUT TO THE STREET AS MEETING ROOMS AND ENCLOSED OFFICE AREA.
[ THIRD FLOOR ] THE SOUTHERN ATRIUM’S VERTICAL PROGRESSION CONTINUES, ALLOWING ONE TO REACH THE COUNCIL CHAMBER’S MEZZANINE LEVEL. THE MAYOR’S OFFICE IS ADDED TO THE NORTHERN ATRIUM AGAIN AS A PERCEPTIBLE VOLUME, HUNG INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE. BETWEEN THE TWO ATRIUMS THE OFFICE AREAS CONTINUE TO LAYER WITH LIGHT FALLING BETWEEN THE GAPS OF PATHS AND ROOMS.
[ FOURTH FLOOR ] THE FOURTH FLOOR PROVIDES MORE OPEN OFFICE AREA FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FUNCTIONS, AND IS PLACED WITHIN THE ACTUAL GABLE ITSELF. HERE LIGHT COMES NOT FROM THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING BUT FROM ABOVE WITH THE CONTINUOUS LIGHT MONITOR THAT LIES AT THE CREST OF THE ROOF. A UNIQUE MOMENT IS CREATED ON THE EDGE OF THE SOUTHERN ATRIUM, WHERE A FINAL MEETING ROOM IS PLACED AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE TRIPLE HEIGHT SPACE, ABLE TO LOOK UPON THE COUNCIL CHAMBER FROM ABOVE AND FAR BELOW TO THE ENTRY OF THE BUILDING.
[FLOATING TECTONICS]

DEXTER LAKE BOAT HOUSE LOCATION: DEXTER, OREGON STATUS: SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOCUS:
THE CONCEPT WAS ROOTED IN AN IDEA OF SEQUENCE FROM LAND TO WATER. A SEQUENCE THAT SHIFTS NOT ONLY VERTICALLY WITH THE CHANGING OF TOPOGRAPHY BUT HORIZONTALLY, BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHIFTING ROOMS CREATED BY EXISTING OUTCROPPING OF TREES. THIS EXPERIENCE BECOMES ONE OF COMPRESSION AND EXPANSION, THE TREES TIGHTENING AND OPENING FROM ROOM TO ROOM OF THE OUTDOOR SITE. IT WAS HOPED THAT THE ARCHITECTURE COULD CONTRIBUTE AND MAGNIFY THIS EXPERIENCE UNTIL THE END OF THE SEQUENCE: THE VASTNESS OF THE LAKE
CONTEXTUAL RESPONSES PROCESSION FROM LAND TO LAKE EFFECTS OF TIME ON MATERIAL EXPLORATION OF “REGIONAL” TECTONICS
THIS PROJECT WAS GENERATED FROM A CAREFUL AND PARTICULAR RESPONSE TO THE EXISTING CONTEXT OF A SITE. LOCATED ON ONE OF THE LARGEST LAKES IN THE REGION, THIS BOAT HOUSE WAS TO SERVE AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN LAND AND WATER
HERE THE ARCHITECTURE CHOSE TO PULL BACK FROM THE EXISTING NODES OF PLACES ALREADY INHERENT ON THE SITE. RATHER THAN BECOME THE CENTER, THE BUILT MASSING FURTHER ARTICULATES THE EDGE OF THE CENTER. PEOPLE AND OUTDOOR PROGRAM ARE WRAPPED BY THE ARCHITECTURE IMBEDDED IN THE LANDSCAPE IN THIS WAY, THE COMPLEX BECOMES A LENS, THROUGH WHICH ONE MAY ENGAGE THE WATER. THE BUILDING STEPS BACK AND EMBRACES THE ACTIVITY IT HOLDS. OVER TIME THE COMPLEX WILL AGE, ITS MATERIALS GATHERING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE AND WEARING THEM OPENLY.

[SUMMER]
[WINTER]
SUNLIGHT IS BLOCKED ON THE POLICE STATION’S SOUTHERN EDGE BY AN EXISTING GROVE OF TREES. HIGHER IN THE ATRIUM, ALTERABLE LOUVERS CONTROL SOLAR LIGHT AND HEAT GAIN. WHAT HEAT DOES GATHER WITHIN THE ATRIUM IS PULLED UPWARD THROUGH STACK EFFECT AND ALLOWED OUT THE TOP OF THE OPEN CEILING VENTS. WITH THIS EVACUATION COMES THE PULL OF COOLER AIR FROM THE CANTILEVERED NORTHERN EDGE OF THE BUILDING. OPEN FLOORS ALLOW AIR TO CIRCULATE FREELY AS NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING. THE ATRIUM BECOMES A PLACE OF RETREAT DURING THE WARM SUMMER, WHERE NATURE IS STILL PRESENT. TREES GROW AND BIOSWALES FILTER THE RUNOFF OF ANY RAIN EVENTS. THE ECOLOGY OF THE OUTDOORS IS ALLOWED TO PERMEATE INWARDS RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE OF AN INDIVIDUALS WORK SPACE.
WITH THE CHANGE OF SEASONS THE GROVE OF NEARBY TREES LOSES ITS LEAVES, ALLOWING SUNLIGHT AND HEAT TO PENETRATE THE FRONT SIDE OF THE ATRIUM. ABOVE, THE LOUVERS ROTATE TO ALLOW LIGHT TO PENETRATE. IN THIS WAY DURING EVEN THE MOST OVERCAST OF WINTER DAYS, THE ENTIRE POLICE STATION MAY HAVE AS MUCH LIGHT AS POSSIBLE. WITH THE RETAINING OF HEAT AND INTERMITTENT PRESENCE OF UV LIGHT, THE ATRIUM TREES AND BIOSWALES MAY STAY FLUSH WITH LEAVES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE ATRIUM SERVES AS A CONTAINER OF GAINED HEAT WHICH IS THEN RADIATED OUT INTO THE OFFICE FLOORS. IF AT ANY POINT THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WERE TO RAISE TOO HIGH, THE STACK VENTS MAY BE OPENED TO REACH A DESIRED LEVEL.
SALEM POLICE STATION [SUSTAINABLE CITIES INITIATIVE] LOCATION: SALEM, OREGON STATUS: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR CITY REVIEW STUDIO AWARDED NCARB PRIZE 2011 FOCUS: SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS (BUILDING & DISTRICT) HABITAT RESTORATION URBAN CONNECTIVITY
SUSTAINABLE CITIES INITIATIVE (SCI) IS A UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ARCHITECTURE EFFORT TO PAIR DESIGN STUDIOS WITH ACTUAL CITIES AND THEIR STAFF. FOR THE YEAR OF 2010-11 OREGON’S CAPITAL OF SALEM WAS CHOSEN. PROPOSED FOR THE STUDIO WAS A REVITALIZATION OF THE CITIES BRUTALIST CIVIC CENTER AND A NEW POLICE STATION. THOUGH LOCATED IN A CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY, THE CIVIC CENTER CURRENTLY STOPS ALL FLOWS OF PEDESTRIANS, INTER DISTRICT CONNECTIONS AND ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN TRIED TO RECONNECT THE SITE TO THE REST OF THE CITY, USING THE NEW POLICE STATION AS A CATALYST ON THE EMPTY NORTHERN PART OF THE CIVIC CENTER THE PROGRAM ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PARK CAN BRING REAL ACTIVITY AND ALLOW FOR PATHS TO TIE THE NEARBY DISTRICTS TOGETHER. THIS PROJECT CAN SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE OF PASSIVE AND ACTIVE SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS FOR THE REST OF SALEM’S PUBLIC OR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY.

CONDENSATION HARVESTER
[DRYLANDS COMPETITION, SHOWN AT A+D] LOCATION: SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA STATUS: COMPETITION ENTRY (SELECTED FOR EXHIBITION) FOCUS: WATER CATCHMENT FROM AIR VAPOR LOCAL COMMUNITY LIVING AROUND RESOURCES VISIBILITY OF WATER SYSTEMS AND USE THIS ENTRY’S CONCEPT WAS
A WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM BASED UPON CONDENSING WATER VAPOR HELD IN THE AMBIENT AIR. HUMID AIR IS DRAWN IN THE BASE OF THE BUILDING, TRAVELLING UP THROUGH A WRAPPING DOUBLE ENVELOPE STACK VENT. UPON REACHING THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE, AIR IS FORCED TO PASS THROUGH A LARGE COOLING MANIFOLD WHICH STAYS CONTINUALLY AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE AS THE EARTH. THE HOT AIR MEETS A MUCH COOLER SURFACE AND CONDENSES, SHEDDING MOST OF ITS HELD WATER. THE AIR IS ALLOWED TO ESCAPE WHILE THE NOW LIQUID WATER VAPOR FALLS DOWN THROUGH THE HIGH RISE FOR USE BY ITS INHABITANTS. ONCE THIS WATER IS USED, IT IS TAKEN BACK TO THE TOP AND ALLOWED TO CASCADE THROUGH A SERIES OF BIOSWALES WHICH ALLOWS A REUSE OF MOST CAPTURED WATER. BEFORE RECYCLING UP TO 15,000 GALLONS OF WATER CAN BE HARVESTED A DAY, BASED UPON RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS USING ALREADY CONDUCTED EXPERIMENTS OF CONDENSATION AS THE STRUCTURE FOR COMPUTER MODELING. AFTER CONTINUOUS RECYCLING ALMOST 100,000 GALLONS OF WATER MAY STAY IN CONSTANT CIRCULATION. IF ASSUMING A 10% LOSS OF WATER (UNABLE TO BE RECYCLED).

THE MASS IS DEFINED NOT BY THE STRUCTURE BUT BY WHAT IS HELD BY THE STRUCTURE. THE WOODEN MEMBERS BECOME A MOVEABLE AND ALTERABLE AMORPHOUS MASS THAT MAY LIE DORMANT OR BURST OUT INTO IMPROMPTU FORM
FOCUS: SIMPLICITY AND FLEXIBILITY FOR THE ARTS THIS COMPETITION CALLED FOR
AN INSTALLATION FOR THE SPACE BETWEEN TWO GALLERIES, BELOW THE RECENTLY RENOVATED NEW YORK “HIGHLINE” RAIL PARK. THE INSTALLATION WOULD THEN BECOME AN OUTDOOR EXTENSION OF THE NEARBY GALLERIES. OUR ENTRY WAS BASED UPON CREATING A SIMPLE SYSTEM FROM WHICH MANY THINGS COULD HAPPEN, ACOUSTICALLY, VISUALLY, SPATIALLY, VOLUMETRICALLY AND ARTISTICALLY. WHAT DEVELOPED WAS THE “PATTERN BOX.” AN OTHERWISE NON-DESCRIPT MASS OF WOODEN MEMBERS THAT WITHOUT INTERVENTION WOULD LIE DORMANT, UNTIL AWAKENED THROUGH USE FOR ART OR PERFORMANCE. THESE PATTERN BOXES MAY ALLOW FOR AS MUCH AS ONE CAN IMAGINE THEM TO BE.

(1 MILE LONG, 1/2 WIDE) IS A HALF HOUR BOAT RIDE FROM THE NEAREST MAINLAND PORT. TO A WESTERNER IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IDEALIZED LANDSCAPES. HERE THOUGH, THE ENVIRONMENT IS OFTEN UNREALIZED AS A DELICATE AND ALL ENCOMPASSING THING. DUE TO CYANIDE FISH BOMBING, IMPROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT AND THE OVER USE OF WATER FROM THE ISLANDS SMALL AQUIFER, THE MANTANANI COMMUNITY FACES A GRAVE SITUATION. FISH LEVELS (THEIR MAIN SOURCE OF FOOD AND INCOME) ARE DROPPING, AND THEIR CLEAN WATER POSSIBLY GONE WITHIN 30 YEARS. IN RESPONSE TO THIS INCREASINGLY DIRE SITUATION OUR TEAM OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND YOUNG ARCHITECTS SET TO THE DESIGN AND BUILDING OF AN EDUCATION CENTER, SO AS TO ALTER THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE ISLANDS BEST HOPE, ITS YOUNG (AND WITTY) CHILDREN.

OF HEIDELBERG, THE KARLSTORBAHNOF WAS ONCE AN ACTIVE TRAIN STATION IN THE 19TH CENTURY. OVER THE YEARS HOWEVER, WITH THE BUILDING OF A LARGER CENTRAL STATION, THE BAHNHOF CHANGED USES TO A CULTURE HOUSE, A PLACE FOR THEATER, CONCERTS, FILMS, ARTISTS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS.

THE WINNING CONCEPT LOWERS THE CONCERT HALL BY ONE FLOOR INTO THE BASEMENT, OPENING UP THE SECOND LEVEL FOR MORE SPACE WHILE CREATING A NEW ENTRANCE TO THE CONCERT HALL THAT ACTIVELY ENGAGES THE UNUSED PLAZA. WITH THIS APPROACH, OVERALL FLOOR AREA GREATLY INCREASES WITH NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUDED PROGRAM WITH LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FACADES.

PROJECT DETAILS CAD DRAWN: ENCLOSURES CLASS SCENARIOS HAND DRAWN: CITY HALL PROJECT AFTER COMPLETING
TWO REAL WORLD PROJECTS THE DETAIL HAS FINALLY BECOME IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING. HERE ARE COMPUTER DRAFTED DRAWINGS FROM VARIOUS DESIGN SCENARIOS POSED IN DONALD CORNER’S ENCLOSURES CLASS, WHERE STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO MANY OF THE INTRICACIES OF ENVELOPE AND STRUCTURAL DETAILS. ALSO SHOWN ARE HAND DRAWN STUDIES OF DETAILS FOR THE (NOT YET COMPLETED) CITY HALL STUDIO PROJECT. WHEN ENTERING SCHOOL, THE DETAIL APPEARS IN ALL HONESTY AS EITHER DIFFICULT OR UNINTERESTING TO THE STUDENT. SOON HOWEVER THIS PERSPECTIVE CHANGES WITH THE REALIZATION THAT ONCE A SCHEME IS ESTABLISHED, ARCHITECTURE IS ALL ABOUT THE DETAIL.
