A Studio design project positioned on the Chicago River this high rise adapts to its environmental conditions to perform as efficiently as possible. The building is a reinforced concrete core and outrigger scheme optimizing slenderness and minimizing total structure. Instead of acting as a passive building in an active atmosphere, its skin opens and closes to activate its façade as a buffer zone that can be an insulation layer during the winter or compressive layer to force more ventilation into the building during the summer; reducing the high heating and ventilating costs that affect Chicago’s emissions the most. To maximize efficiency of the apartments, they atain their thermal comfort from a combination of passive ventilation from the double facade, a central radiant heating and cooling system, and an innovative unitized facade. The double skin automatically responds to the temperatures and velocities within the façade and opens and closes alternating outer glazing panes to ventilate the zone. Half of the opening panes hinge from the top to allow maximum airflow into the façade and where balconies occur the second skin opens from the bottom for safety and exhaust. Whenever the glazing tilts towards the sun, photo-voltaics are banded on the surface of the glazing to offset the energy load of the high rise.

The adaptive nature of the building’s façade technologies and overall design minimize the lighting, ventilating, heating and cooling energy load of the apartments. Researching similar designs and façade systems, the added energy needed to operate the skin and solar shades is estimated at approximately 57,000 kilowatt hours per year. Utilizing efficient elevator systems, the building is estimated to use approximately 72,000 kWh/ year for vertical circulation. Assuming efficiency of modern photo-voltaics on the south facades, the estimated sum of energy produced is 120,000 kWh/year, making most of the energy costs of the building offset by the building itself.

This Studio design brings the front of house for the Chicago Smart museum to Ellis Avenue and reorganizes the museum into a continuous gallery experience. Each new space is flexible, open, and adaptable, allowing for the diverse installations and events. The design addresses the museum’s concerns of lighting, conditioning, storage, expansion, sustainability, and presence. Program Diagram

Systems Theory and Urban Form Remapping Chicago Through the Lens of Thermodynamics Professor Agata Siemionow and Jason Lee
Re-Energizing Chicago
This Group urban design research project approaches Chicago through the lens of systems theory by treating Chicago itself as a thermodynamic system with various internal, inward, and outward flows of energy and material. By Synthesizing our studies of Chicago’s Data, Fauna, and Mobility systems it became clear that Chicago’s public virtual and physical infrastructure are contemporary selective services. It also became clear that the postindustrial landscape of Pilsen Industrial Corridor restricts intellectual capital and mobility invoking socio-economic disparities in adjacent neighborhoods.

Re-Energizing Chicago
The studio proposal for mending these situations is begins with an initial private-public investment in the corridor that repurposes vacant land and buildings with low income jobs and regenerative sustainable power generation, simultaneously regenerating the tainted soils and increasing income for neighboring communities. Next, cheap energy to the corridor stimulates private investments in manufacturing, and public investment in a riverfront trail, and educational buildings within the corridor. Next, excess land from modern light industries is repurposed as parkland and selective residential developments occur within corridor serving local labor. Then with additional tax income the city invests in public libraries, schools, roads and a CTA stop within corridor that deteriorate the corridor’s depth. This addtional mobility and data access further develops offices, education, commercial and residential within corridor.

Sculptures, Furniture, and Metal The Red Steel For classes and in my free time I have made several sculptures, pieces of furniture, and types of jewelry; usually as an exploration of the material or investigation of the fabrication technique but sometimes for sale or completely functional purposes. Projects have included cast aluminum sunglasses, this red steel contemporary sculpture, necklaces, guitar picks, paperweights, chairs, tables, shelves, wine stoppers, boxes, containers, and dozens of simple studies of techniques such as arc welding, routing, dado sawing, or acrylic cutting, joining, and polishing.
Ten Degrees Chair With all joints and connections at some form of ten degrees, this chair strives to connect so that it maximizes efficiency, structure, and comfort for the user. The chair can be made with less than one board foot of red oak, with its longest member being 18”, and less than 40”x16” of 1/4” plywood. The joints of oak members are adapted lap joints and the joints between all of the plywood and oak members attempt to connect with maximum surface area for gluing; all joints are glued. Each plywood member is mitered to connect to the next as it wraps 3” below the seat and 3” above the back.

Study Abroad Berlin In the summer of 2012 I spent 6 weeks in Europe with a class of students studying architecture through two lenses: graphic representation and building systems. While in Europe we thoroughly explored the capital of Germany as well as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Munich, Dresden, Dessau, Bonn, Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid. We sketched and studied approximately 100 different architectural landmarks throughout Europe with two professors who were involved in the architectural rebuilding of Berlin after the reunification of East and West.
Engineers Without Borders Nicaragua Bridge Project Over the past two years a group of engineering students and I have been working closely with Chicago professionals to help a Nicaraguan city in need of a new bridge. In additional to meeting with the local villages and taking data on site, the team has spent the last year analyzing and double checking previous engineering calculations for a vehicular bridge and deigning our own pedestrian bridge to propose a more affordable option.
Structural Engineering Minor Minoring in Structural Engineering at IIT I have had the opportunity to take Civil Engineering classes in Structural Analysis, Structural Design, Statics and upper level calculus and physics that most architects are unable to study. These classes dive deeper into the design of structural members and structures and complement the architectural design that all other classes focus on, with an understanding of what systems will work, and how we can push the limits of structural design from an engineer’s perspective as well as an architects.

Persinger Architects and Associates Principal: Alexis Persinger AIA Architectural Internship Design and Project Management In my junior year of high school I began working for Persinger Architects and Associates from 20082012. I have been fortunate enough to participate in the office from beginner office work and filing to comprehensive project proposals, designs, and project management that have prepared me for challenges at the university level and the professional world beyond; including but not limited to campus wide solar projects, Salmon Creek LEED Platinum Building, and a two storey Middle School. •Project Management •Construction Management •Bid Documents •Construction Documents and Detailing •Solar Planning •Roof Construction Details •Code Analysis •Change Order Review/Submittal •RFI-AR-ASI Documents •Close-Out Documents •Submittal Reviews •California’s Division of the State Architect Reviews •Site Visits •Engineer Coordination •Construction Manager Coordination •OAC Project Meetings •LEED Documentation
Architecture International Principals: John Sheehy FAIA and William Higgins FAIA Architectural Internship Schematic and Design Development In the Summer of 2013 I started working for Architecture International where I worked through December in office and remotely from Chicago. My work was primarily schematic and design development in AutoCad and 3d modeling of three high rise and master plan projects in Malaysia and the Philippines. I also was able to work on construction documents and advanced AutoCad Project work on a San Francisco high rise.
