Lieux de ma Vie [My Life of Places]

Architectural Work Sample My Approach: What I think about architecture you can see in my work, and what is written is just extra. So read what I write, but remember my work.

Every project undertaken, I have made to be the most right in my mind. Each is a special place in my heart, for my

whole heart is in the visual proof that this invented space is how this place in the world should be. I cannot create architecture because I am a human and do not have this power. Though I may help in the invention of spaces, by uncovering our inherent geometries and conncectedness through matieriality and labor of passion. These ingenuities are what underlie creation...and atmosphere. Architecture is the recognition that you and I and the objects we assemble are no more or less important to the infinity that surrounds the earth, than the sky itself.

Architecture is everything true in this world, made in an art of space and time. This structure of how we live is our

existence, balancing ritual and commonality with the dance of solidarity and discord, and indulgence and order. Between following a path and discovering a path. It is the physical form of our reality, manifested through the plasticity of life.

Three Places to Live in Talange program: multiple houses site: Talange, France supervised by: Pierre Engel dates: September-December 2018 at: École nationale supÊrieure d’architecture de Paris-Val de Seine

Talange, France is a rural commuter town. A site site in the middle of a large expanse of feilds, a river, and at the edge of a constructed series of dwellings along streets. Here the goal is to provide three good places to live. Simplistic building methods of timber stick-framing and a steel based raised off the ground to combat flooding.

Ville

Analysis of the site in relation to its town yeilds a concept that allows a poetic relationship to form between the architecture and its semblance of belonging.

The Site sits peacefully in the center of three entities: the built town, the green plains, the river.

These entities inform a thoughtful partitioning of the site into three houses, all different yet familially connected.

Three Places to Live in Talange, Talange, France, Fall 2018

“Siting a building is not merely a matter of choosing a pleasing location. It is accessing and responding to the primary forces of a place--the scale of the landscape, the direction of the sun, the approach, the prospect--all of the qualities and character offered by the context. A rise of the land, a copse of trees referencing a distance view, the story told in the approach--all help the transition between the greater world and the inner home.�

“Par la finesse ou la brutalité, le tumulte ou la sérénité, l’indifference ou l’intértêt; ces elements sont des elements plastiques, des formes que nos yeux voient clairement, que notre esprit mesure.”

-Le Corbusier, Vers Une Architecture, 1923

“UNTITLED 7” program: Automated design of a spatial sequence site: East Hills Warehouse - Lawrence, KS with: Kadim Al Asady (professor), and students Samir Alvi, Trevor Cadiz, Yuhua Dai, Jessie Ewing, Julia Frendo, Angela Garza, Kaitlyn Hoines, Rachel Johnston, Bumsoo Kim, Mario Lemar, Jingxiang Yang. dates: August-December 2017 at: University of Kansas School of Architecture An abstract endeavor of place construction, proving an innovation in how we build for our modern world. This Studio-Build project challenges the artist’s role in design and extends the boundaries of how space is composed.

It explores possible conditions we may invent from friction fit joints. And proves the inventions through the making of a 1:1 scale model. Interrelated steps stitch together a logic structure based on an imposed grid and invented rules and physical elements emerge from the geometric play. For the first time architecture is not rooted in the built artifact, but in the result of the process of space transformation. The art here lies in the design process rather than as a result of it. https://www.deadarchitectssociety.com/design-build/

Wiki Modulars program: Systematic design of tiny homes supervised by: Kadim Al Asady dates: January-May 2018 at: University of Kansas

A comprehensive guide to tiny home design based on 4 foot modules, with varieties of features. The idea is to be able to choose how big you want your home, what kinds of things you want, i.e. windows, doors, skylights... And be able to combine any number of modules to form an enclosed, off the grid, sustaining shelter. As many modules can be incorporated as long as there is an end module and a systems module to close each end.

Chapelle de GĂŠometrie, Lawrence, Kansas, Fall 2015

Sacred Geometry Chapel program: Non-denominational chapel site: Lawrence, Kansas with: Kent Spreckelmeyer dates: August-September 2015 at: University of Kansas School of Architecture

A place for contemplation - a chapel made by the combination of systematic lines and areas of suggested use, extrapolated from a sacred geometric figure. This concept of a chapel challenges arbitrariness by the premise of inhabiting the exact structure which composes it. Numbers and shapes are directly connected to the atmosphere they create. It is about the experience of the structure and the spatial system it defines.

This geometry chapel is proof of an ambition to make a fractal of architecture that embodies geometric applications - numeric, ideal, common - into a larger and indefinite system of the built form. This geometry is not merely form-making but the primary conceptual tool for inhabitation.

For me, this chapel has universal and cosmic implications, but for the rest of the world the objective is perhaps pragmatic. The idea is to give light to how unusual it would be to exist within numbers and systems, and at the same time how ordinary. In every aspect of life we are inhabiting geometry, it is just the matter of how explicit, and to what degree our architecture is daring to connect us to it.

91

Chapelle de GĂŠometrie, Lawrence, Kansas, Fall 2015

Structure and parts The chapel structure anticipates a computational approach intended to be ultimately algorithmic as well as formulaic.

Constructed primitively with only wood.

The application of these numeric and geometric systems makes for classic space frame construction.

Vibrato Sted [vibrato of place] program: urban infill - transformation of place site: NordVest, København with: Rasmus Frisk dates: Februrary-May 2017 at: Danish Institute for Study Abroad

Just as the notes of a composition bring life into a track, the keys of a piano and strings of a violin are the elements that found any tune. The existence of this space has elements that do not ring any tune, so what we do is adhere to the site, and further ring life into the streets by inserting nodes of connection and robust spaces to become filled with life. Once this is achieved the site may spill into its surroundings and begin to heal the barriers of the area with urban life.

Balance in the city is important, creating this comes from designing sequential spatial nodes of experience. Spaces where one is able to gather, smell, hear, feel, taste, and experience presence amidst a crossroads of daily commutes.

Kulturhaus Amager program: community house for students and refugees site: København, Amager with: Rune Veile dates: August-September 2016 at: Danish Institute for Study Abroad

A place for community, where the site is a part of the building as the building is a part of the site. And, where the atmosphere is created from the life which flows through it.

The life created in the space is realised by the movement through matierality and light. Through enclosure and closure, heavy and soft, ambiguous spaces of inside and out.

“...Ce qui sera dit ici d’essentiel, c’est que la clef de l’émotion esthétique est une fonction spatiale...”

-Le Corbusier

Espace de regfuge serves to grow its inhabitants while itself grows in solidifying as a place of community and peace.

Where life perspectives are rooted in time perspectives, and identities which come from temporality.

This space of refuge creates an atmosphere where its inhabitants gain identity, embed a life in the spirit of this place, and orient themselves with the world.

Between the dwelling units are nodes of common space, layered to foster community healing from individual to group.

And so, the building becomes the phenomena of the people who make it, and holds a permanence with the ability to adapt over time. Meaning, direction, and permanence lie in the unifying order of the ultimatley temporal character of the city, here we just uncover it.

Espace de Refuge makes the phenomena of place from community, by the life which dwells in it.

Identity is created by virtue of becoming and belonging, through the space inbetween.
