0.01 The Narrows
University of Utah Undergraduate Program
The Narrows is an adaptive reuse project designed to house a New Media Education Center alongside a reimagined modern black box theater. Located in a once-vibrant but now derelict area of Salt Lake City, the site was historically home to various performance spaces and the old newspaper plant. With a diverse theater scene nearby, the project was crafted to offer flexible, small-scale performance spaces for the city, while providing a functional environment for the New Media School.
Team Members:
Sam Hunt
Sean Greene
The building's program establishes a dynamic relationship between the expansive factory space of the old newspaper plant and the smaller private areas within. The site design allows the performance hall to function as a "jewel box," prominently displayed, while the educational spaces remain secure by maintaining the historic brick exterior creating a balance of openness and seclusion.

[Hu]Mangroves
University of Oregon Masters Program
Drawing inspiration from the Mangrove tree, known for its crucial role in coastline stabilization, this project aimed to create an Ecotourism Facility that leverages the unique root structures of Mangroves as a practical method for coastline restoration. By combining this natural approach with local building techniques using bamboo, the design seeks to stabilize, support, and rehabilitate the decaying mangrove density, while simultaneously creating a distinctive architectural space for eco-tourism.

This project proposes a building and urban concept designed to scale as a solution to challenges in the built environment. It explores stormwater management strategies alongside thermal comfort needs tied to the building program. By leveraging the high energy storage potential of water, due to its density, the design focuses on hydro-concentric HVAC systems and other passive strategies. The integration of urban runoff, greywater, and mechanical by-products enables the building to function as a living structure, supporting a self-sustaining urban footprint.

The building design features two large atria that function as solar chimneys, paired with radiant tubing disguised as a water feature to control humidity. A below-grade stormwater filtration system supplies a radiant cooling and heating system, while a high-performance service area captures heat for use during off-seasons. These integrated systems work harmoniously to deliver a passive, modern approach to HVAC and energy-efficient design strategies.

RhinotoRevitInteroperability
Design
Rhino, Revit, Rhino.Inside
Feasibility, Concept, Design Development
Rhino.Inside facilitates seamless transitions from early design in Rhino to Revit by combining Rhino's flexibility in design and massing with Revit's strengths in scheduling and documentation. This interoperability enables clean Revit models for documentation while supporting design iterations and diagrams in Rhino, with area plans easily convertible between the two platforms. This tool can be used at any phase of the project, and doubles as a way to create 3D printing models for current designs.
*This tool, and UI, was built in collaboration with Ren Rainville. The tool uses a custom python code block , written by Ren, that creates a JSON file for the transition to occur. This could be done natively, but the JSON allows for more efficient computation time.

Concept, Design Development, BIM Management
During the design process there is sometimes a desire to explore an idea that my not be easily modeled, or modeled more efficiently in one software or another. By leveraging various created tools, and import methods, this process creates a seamless approach to visualization for assets while maintaining a clean documentation set. Linking Rhino and Revit in Model space creates a direct connection to rendering software, which give teams ultimate control over visualization and documentation.
