Energy Production & Potential
Amongst all the argument regarding climate change and carbon emissions one fact is indisputable; there is an immediate need to change the way we power our way of life. Modern civilization’s reliance on fossil fuels, which the earth provides in finite quantities, must be reduced and eventually eliminated. To this end, the need for alternative, renewable fuel sources has never been more real. Simultaneously, society is realizing how significantly industrialization and modernization have impacted the ecosystems of the world. Natural habitat, specifically in urban environments, has been devastated and diminished to the point that the existence of several species are seriously threatened. If left unresolved eventually mankind may ultimately be the most threatened species. Despite the inherent link between energy and environment, they are rarely viewed holistically. While the challenge of addressing these issues is daunting, there is great potential for modern society to slow and reverse the negative impact, and ultimately function in a manner that has a net positive effect on the natural environment. Historically rivers have played an important part in the growth and advancement of society. Today, rivers, specifically the urban watershed, provide an excellent opportunity to positively affect change on both the energy and environmental crises. The rivers and estuaries of the world have always offered an endless supply of clean, renewable energy. Emerging hydrokinetic technologies have made the task of harnessing this power significantly less invasive and more efficient. Thus providing an opportunity to reduce the need for carbon emitting energy sources, while minimizing harm to ecosystems. The urban river is also the ideal place to begin the move toward cleaner, more habitat friendly waterways. Restoration of urban habitat both improves conditions for native species and enhances the built environment in which we live. The proposed project, an assembly and production facility for new hydro energy solutions, will help to foster a new attitude towards both the energy and ecologies. Located on an urban river, within a historically polluted industrial area of Portland, Oregon, the project has a great opportunity to act as a working example that industry can be both clean and net positive to local ecologies. Not just coexisting, but rather thriving in adjacency.

Rethinking the
Industrial Skin
The curved building enclosure is a composition of interchangeable panels which create a living skin of codependent function. Insulated metal panels are interspersed with skylights, solar arrays, and roof habitat. This simple deployable system, can be utilized in various industrial and commercial roof applications, increasing small scale energy production and urban habitat corridors.

Spatial
Organization
Primarily defined by separating the three major program components; assembly, office and research. The assembly space is subdivided into a simple grid of twenty bays, which is extended to the other program spaces. This provides opportunity for the program elements to easily shift proportions, depending on future need. While this achieves flexibility it also creates the need to establish transition zones, which clearly demarcate space between programmatic elements. The concept to these transition zones is to create layered separations, allowing for a physical divide while maintaining a visual relationship. A slight shift in building footprint creates a public along the extended pier.

Every aspect of the project is designed to function as a closed loop, or as part of a larger system. This allows the facility to be completely self sufficient for water, energy, and waste management, while regenerating environment and habitat.

Northwest Film Center
Project: Northwest Film Center Location: Portland, Oregon Studio: Film & Architecture Fall 2010 This project began with multiple film explorations and a model interpretation of a self selected film, Run Lola Run. The initial film study became a catalyst to inform the architectural design of a new home for the Northwest Film Center. The program includes a main screening room, restaurant, bar & lounge, office space, classrooms, and secondary screening rooms.

In the film Run Lola Run one main story line plays out in three versions. Each consists of many of the same events occurring in different order and timing, drastically effecting the outcome. Major events sequences were plotted, screen captured and manually transferred to laser cut acrylic tiles. These were layered allowing the viewer to experience all three “runs� simultaneously.

The final presentation of the Film Center design was an interpretation of both the acrylic film study model and film still frames. Each slide began with either a computer rendering or hardline perspective, which was then manipulated in Adobe photoshop. Layers were extracted from the resulting image and transferred or printed onto various media which were layered to allow viewers to see information both isolated and holistically.

CO Habitat
Project: Site: Studio:
Co Housing Gresham, Oregon Microecologies, Winter ‘10
Adjacent to a future suburban light rail station, this housing project creates both human and natural habitat. Connections and corridors blend from the urban street edge to the natural environment. This is visually represented through a materiality change from steel to concrete to wood and a shift from orthogonal to organic screening devices. The proposed project, completed in a group of three students consisted of approximately 100 housing units over ground floor retail space.

Republika Hrvatska
Project: Location: Studio:
Historic Preservation Field School Republika Hrvatska (Croatia) Study Abroad, Summer 2010
The Croatia Historic Preservation Field School offered an opportunity to explore the incredible history and culture of the Adriadic Coast. The program began in the historic walled city of Trogir, followed by stone manson school and dry stack wall instruction in Pučišća, Island of Brać. Following a travel break the program completed with two weeks of village research and field recordation on the Island of Drevenik Veli. This was supplemented by individual travel throughout Croatia, as well as Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Romania.

Granville Culinary Experience
Project: Site: Studio:
Granville Culinary Experience Granville Island Vancouver, British Columbia Study Abroad, Spring 2010
Granville Island
Granville Island, located just south of downtown Vancouver, is one of the most renowned “people places” in the world. Originally a hub for industry, the island has been drastically transformed over the past 30 years into the second most visited site in Canada. However, the island is not without issue especially on the east end which has many under utilized sites and less traffic. The Granville Culinary Experience, envisioned as an anchor for the east end, will celebrate the unique culinary tradition of the Pacific Northwest. The center includes a culinary school, retail spaces, cafe, restaurant, community kitchen, and a top floor boutique hotel overlooking the West End neighborhood of downtown Vancouver, BC. The project was designed with two separate buildings divided by a long exterior “atrium”. Industrial details accent the islands history, such corrugated steel panels, exhaust hoods vented directly outside and up the facade a water collection system of exterior pipes.
