Embracing narratives; radiating resilience Center for language revitalizatioN + cultural preservation

In collaboration with NILI (Native Indian Language Institute), “Embracing Narratives; Radiating Resilience” reimagines UO’s Native Quad as a “Center for Language Revitalization and Cultural Preservation.”

The design intends to not only welcome conversation and storytelling but to build reciprocal relationships by considering the life cycles of the sun, water, materials, waste, and energy used on the site and the surrounding community. Exploration was conducted through field analysis, interviews, site visits, design studio critique, observation drawing, and more.

CABAÑA BRAVA: designing + building with bamboo This project was completed as part of the Regeneration Field Institute’s bamboo design/build workshop. There were four groups participating to design two matching cabanas out of CBFT panels.

After mutliple iterations, my group’s bamboo structure was chosen to be refined by the Ecuadorean architect on-site and then built by our group over spring break.

the new horkaer: the future is local.

Copenhagen adaptive reuse - suburban revival

ADAPTED FOOTPRINT

Completed upon studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, this project explores the disconnect between consumers in suburban communities and the products and materials they consume.

The New Horkaer acts as a model of how industrial spaces can be revitalized to serve local community needs.

Integrated climate change planning for resilient island community This research project explored the operations and water management of the small island community of Fano, Denmark.

Located on the Western coast in the Wadden Sea, Fano faces extreme flooding and the need for climate based infrastructure increases each year. After visiting the island and conducting interviews, the class proposed a water management plan to the Fano municipality.

This project reimagines what housing could look like in the future of Eugene, Oregon. Staying true to the tone and values that make Eugene so special, Laurel Hill Green Living creates a space where residents can live self sufficiently and communally while also maintaining a sense of individuality and autonomy of space and environment.

Everyone village Kitchen Collaborative re-design In this collaborative design elective project, we worked with Everyone Village (E1V), an intentional community supporting people transitioning out of homelessness, to redesign their communal kitchen using repurposed pieces from the prefabricated housing kits residents already use to to build their homes. Our team (Allie R; Lulu R; Brithani R.) presented multiple design iterations directly to the community, allowing residents to shape the proposal through feedback on how they cook, gather, and move through space. This process taught that collaborative design means building relationship and letting community knowledge guide the work.

bruton design-build intensive (BDI) Workshop @ everyone village

The BDI workshop was a rigorous twoweek design-build workshop at Everyone Village, where I worked alongside fellow students and E1V members to design an exterior supporting kitchen space the villagers. Building directly on my early collaborative design elective with E1V, I strengthened my ability to engage meaningfully with users throughout the process. I was also part of a small subgroup (with Juan C.), That executed the design-build of an exterior communal sink to accompany the main structure, integrating structural details into the sink.
