PORCHES ON A PRAIRIE
Location | Paynes Prairie State Preserve, Gainesville, FL
For researchers monitoring the health of a saturated and volatile ecosystem.
saturated ground | calibrating, testing proximities
site lines | residences upon stilts and pier foundations
overseer | a porch for one who stores artifacts. Floating on the levee, flood prepped
a red room | bees are unbothered, red light will allow it - a porch for them
MOON TREE
a roof | for three trees and a cloud watcher
BLUE SPRINGS
a platform | near a barbeque and a campfire
Iterations of roof and platform with cautious, minimal disruptions to the landscape. Domains are presented with new meanings. A canopy is no longer for shade, rather, is a lens to sky. A ground surface recurs as a vertical threshold mediating fire and water.
way-finding | for artists only, a lounge
MINISTRY OF SOUND
Location | Downtown Gainesville, FL, USA
A space for live musical performances. Performers are backed by a guillotine door to allow for the stage to roll out and accommodate audiences - listeners inside the auditorium and a crowd on the street.
acclaimed platform | performers play on an adjustable stage
ARMOR AND REPOSE Location
A suit of armor will position itself in the historic district of Savannah. Spaces for reading and consuming live media are raised and positioned on either end of the site forming an open complex of outdoor leisure. Monumental spaces of carved mass reveal activity of study to the park and the city. A cross over bridge connecting the masses for looking onto the square.
ROMAN RESIDENTS
Location | Via Giulia, Rome, Italy
Partners | Joyce Ng & Benjamin Spears
Contributions to work shown | 3D Renders, Plan, Section
Scales of community space. Raised piazzas stepping up from the landscape. An abandoned Church demolished, reimagined as a typology for market - retaining procession and altar. A tree house for city planners, looking out onto the urban activity. A civic center for the community defines the end of procession. An altar.
