SINCE I WAS NINE YEARS OLD -- REARRANGING MY MUSIC ROOM SO THAT I COULD MAINTAIN THE BEST SOUND POSSIBLE WITH NO LOSS OF CONVENIENCE REGARDING MY PROXIMITY TO EACH INSTRUMENT ON THE WALL -- I HAVE ALWAYS DESIGNED FOR HUMAN EXPERIENCE. IDEALS OF LIGHT, SOUND, SURROUNDING, AND USER EXPERIENCE AT NO LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY STILL DETERMINE MY DECISIONS WHEN DESIGNING TODAY, AND HOLD TRUE IN EVERYTHING I DO. I DESIGN WITH THE USER IN MIND.

THE LAYERS OF TREES ON THE SITE PROVIDE CHANGING LIGHT AND EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE LOUVERED SCREENS PROVIDE THAT SAME DYNAMIC LIGHT. THE PANELS ALSO MAKE THE SPACE ITSELF DYNAMIC, AS THEY CAN BE MOVED USING LIFT-AND-SLIDE TECHNOLOGY TO ALLOW MANY PEOPLE TO ENTER AND EXIT, A FEW TO WANDER THROUGHOUT THE DAY, OR FOR COMPLETE PRIVACY.

UNIVERSAL SEATING

BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, BOSTON DESIGN I MASSART

WHEN DESIGNED WITH ONLY CHILDREN IN MIND, SPACES FOR ADULTS CAN OFTEN BE UNCOMFORTABLE. WHEN DESIGNED FOR ADULTS, KIDS CAN FEEL LEFT OUT. MY CHILDREN’S LIBRARY INCLUDES ACCOMMODATION FOR ALL AGES, WHILE ENCOURAGING LEARNING AND PLAY THROUGH ITS MANY STORAGE POSSIBLE SHEATHING

COMPARTMENTS AND CUSTOMIZATION.

SHIFTING THE RECTANGULAR VOLUMES OF THE HOUSE IN PLAN ALLOWS OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIGHT TO NATURALLY FALL INTO THE SPACE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, LIGHTING EVEN WHAT IS BURIED DEEP IN THE EARTH.

LATTICE PAVILIONS

WILBRAHAM & MONSON ACADEMY AP 3D ART -- PORTFOLIO WILBRAHAM & MONSON ACADEMY

| 25 ROSE PAVILION MODEL

THESE PAVILIONS WERE DESIGNED AS POP-UP STRUCTURES THAT COULD BE ADAPTED BY THE USER TO FIT VARIOUS SITUATIONS. IN THE LATTICE CUBE, THE USER CAN PIVOT THE STRUCTURE TO CREATE ZONES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, ENCOURAGE INTERACTIONS, OR PROVIDE SHADE FOR A GROUP.

CUBE PAVILION MODEL -- INCREASED LIGHT

CUBE PAVILION MODEL -- NOOK

CUBE PAVILION MODEL -- PUBLIC | PUBLIC

CUBE PAVILION MODEL -- PRIVATE | PRIVATE

CUBE PAVILION MODEL -- INTERACTIONS

ROSE PAVILION MODEL -- SANCTUARY

THE ROSE PAVILION IS ALSO ADAPTABLE BY THE USER. USING HYDRAULIC MECHANICS, THE USER CAN CREATE AN ENTRANCE RAMP, STAGES SURROUNDING THE STRUCTURE, OR AN ENCLOSED SANCTUARY.

ROSE PAVILION MODEL -- RAMP

ROSE PAVILION MODEL -- STAGES

THE PETALS OF THE PAVILION FORM A RECOGNIZABLE ICON WHILE ABSTRACTING THE WAY IN WHICH HUMANS INTERACT WITH NATURE. IN THIS CASE, OUR ROLE AS HUMANS IS TO ACT AS BEES TO A FLOWER, TAKING ONLY WHAT WE NEED FROM THE BUILDING (SANCTUARY); A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIP FOR HUMAN AND BUILDING. ROSE PAVILION MODEL -- SANCTUARY
