CRAFT CENTER
COMMUNITY ARTS PLACE IN SAN FRANSISCO
The Craft Center shows how a 4ft by 4ft grid shapes a multi-use creative space. This grid is visible in the design of the facade, and informs the 16ft by 16ft timber structural grid.
The main classroom and workshop spaces on the second and third floor contain a rotating wall system that enables these spaces to change to meet the needs of those within. These spaces aim to provide community members space to both learn and utilize artistic skills. The outdoor ampitheater provides a space for artists to teach and demonstrate their practices to community members, and the gallery on the first floor gives them space to display their work.

STUDIO SPACE
RHINO3D + ENSCAPE STUDY
Imagined, dreamlike studio space simulating a “real-life” studio space, including recreations of studio models from other studios.
Studio Space is an exploration of the relationship between the digital and the physical. Through the recreation of objects in the 3D space, they become “real,” but are only so within the bounds of the digital world.
Realism is often the goal of architectural rendering. Studio Space toes the gap between fiction and reality through the use of fantastical shapes and colors in tandem with practical detailing and lighting. The scenes convey a narriative centering an architecture student’s life through the objects scattered about the room. This room is real in the sense of what it represents, but it wil never exist.

FOLDED MARKET MARKETPLACE IN URBANA, IL
The Folded Market displays the results of “folding” planes to form a distinct roof plane that defies the existing skyline of downtown Urbana.
The market contains stalls on the first floor to sell produce, meats, fish, and handicrafts, while the second floor houses a cafeteria that overlooks the main marketspace.
stuDy moDel:
Triangular chipboard panels sewn together with metal wire.
The secondary shape on the market is achived by “stretching” out the study model, as the metal stitching allowed for a degree of adjustment. The form was then simplified to address the triangluar shape of the site.

INTERSECTING LIVING
CO-HOUSING IN CHAMPAIGN, IL
The Intersecting Living Cohousing Project draws upon the context of the surrounding neighborhood through a series of intersecting volumes that reflect the scale of the surrounding houses. The three story building consists of 20 one to three bedroom units that connect to 6 elevator cores. The intersections created by these volumes make up the private areas of the units, while the unintersected portions remain transparent. The transparent sections provide sightlines that connect the residential street with the wooded area south of the units.
Intersecting Living occupies a five-acre, wooded site in champaign, IL. The visual connection to the wooded area and to the surrounding neighborhood is maintained through openings and trasnparencies found along the building’s facade. The views through the building shift as passerbys traverse the site by foot or by vehicle.

The Commonhouse lies at the center of the project. It serves as a means of uniting the residents of Intersecting Living with a multi-purpose shared space.
The Commonhouse features a large kitchen and enough seating and tables to serve a large number of people, like during a shared resident dinner or holiday. commonHouse - Dinner
