ART SCHOOL

The Northwest College of the arts is purposefully located directly on the Willamette River. The Northwest river trail, which includes McCormick pier, is completely devoid of activity and is physically disconnected from the riverfront park to the south and from the north waterfront. As a building form it is reacting to the train passion on one side and the river running on the other. This manifested in bulkier and more solid form on the train side and a lighter and smaller side on the river side.

MIXED-USE TOWER Old town China town located in NW Portland is in great need of a new dimension. The mixed use tower is a study in adding vertical density to a district that is, for now, limited to the heights of the existing historic buildings.

PERFORMING ARTS The adaptive reuse of the historic Washington Monroe H.S.. The school is located in the Buckman neighborhood of SE portland. The program of the building was based on trying to reuse the High school as a College. A need in the area for colleges is in performing arts. This small scale private college would house dancing, drama, and vocal arts. The first three floors are classroom floors, while the top one and a half floors are used as dormatories.

OLD TOWN/CHINA TOWN This urban design was a collaboration of two Japanese students from Meiji University in Tokyo and three students from the University of Oregon. The outcome of the charette shows the need to bring several new things to Old Town: Dimension, easy transportation from NW, Japanese cultural influence, and pedestrian friendly streets.

Everett Street *The tower district was an addition made by me after the charette.

ANKENY ALLEY This was a collaborative effort to enhance the atmosphere of Ankeny Street.

Ankeny Street presents the problem of being the street where the two Portland grids collide. The plan for Ankeny street is to transform it into a pedestrian way linking downtown to the waterfront with a series of catalyst buidings. The neighboring district is also densified to increase the population of the district that Ankeny street is part of.

NORTHWEST WATERFRONT This design centers aroung a new Micro district along the Northwest Willamette waterfront. The new micro district will activate the riverfront 18 hours a day and replace the “private� waterfront used by residents of McCormick Pier. The walkable mixed-use district is anchored by the NW school of the arts and a new North Willamette boat house. The anchor uses as well as a mix of cafes, restaurants, and recreational activities will activate and connect the waterfront to the riverfront trail to the south.

GOOSE HOLLOW

The Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland Oregon was disconnected from the downtown when the 405 freeway was cut through Portland. Goose Hollow now feels a disconnect from the city and a lack of community place within the neighborhood. This plan focuses on connecting Goose Hollow back to the downtown, by bridging the 405, and create two community places where residents can gather.
