DOWNTOWN CROWN After a variety of exercises dealing with the urban condition as a generator for scenarios our studio was asked to create a convention center atop the once Chicago Spire site. Traditional exhibition space and that which comes with it had to be rethought to appropriately respond to its immediate context.
REVAMP This project aimed to bridge the gap between the capital and lobby spaces within a chicago high rise through a continuous crown of exhibition space. The theme is further explored through the juxtaposing of two contrasting facades.
RESPOND The Chicago capitals are reduced down to their cross section and are then used as a canvas for ornamented perforations and a base from which to engender a pixelated volume.

ROSSIVILLE SCHOOL After reading Aldo Rossi’s A Scientific Autobography, our studio was given the task of projecting from and applying Rossi’s design theory, one of an “intentional sloppiness.”

MONTPARNASSE TANGO CENTER Tango can be described as a dance very much rooted in a tense actionreaction between the two participants, aggressive and fluid at the same time. The form of the cultural center reflects this in the two main volumes that seem to be in tension due to the thin break in the overall form
