VENEZUELA
Caracas is a landscape of complexity and contradiction and this is no more evident than in the built environment of Universidad de Central Venezuela, (UCV) a UNESCO world heritage site master planned in the 1950s. The built environment at UCV can be distilled to specific architectural phrases or words, which can be combined in a variety of ways as a way to regenerate this language. Canopies, plants, pavers, columns, louvers, sculptures paths, breeze-blocks, planes, windows, walkways, these are the words of UCV. The page opposite demonstrates some phrases.

This building was tasked to act as a visitor’s center for the University. The particular goal for this building was to use the discovered language of UCV to create a contextual project. The plot in which the Visitor’s Center is located is formed by a series of covered walkways that border the site.
pods
Within this leftover space, the program was placed as autonomous units with the ground plane and elevated walkway as a connective tissue. Once these were located, a canopy was placed over, creating an open-air structure which responded to specific constraints. Visual connection, sun light, movement, wind.

On the south, the concrete canopy stretches out and creates a covered plaza. Columns underneath gesture towards the main entrance. Once there, the umbrella structure frame both context beyond and anyone who may be using the space. Within this main space, contradicting architectural elements are in play with each other. Constant rhythm of the louver wall with the on-off pattern of the columns. The overfilled planters weaving in and out of the structure and disintegrating the trace of the grid of the floor surface. The openness of the umbrella structure contrasting the self-referential nature of the pods.

The response to pedestrian activity was multi-faceted depending on certain established circulation patterns. Public transport for visitors terminates south of the site, so this boundary extended the existing covered walkway to the reception The north boundary would be primarily used by students. Still visually and physically accessible, it is raised to provide some amount of separation.

Alley City is an architectural exploration in using the typology of the alleys to subvert the status quo of Lawrence, Kansas. The development pulls the alley through and across the site. Shops, parks, and non-functional spaces are then in-filled within this new and opposing smallscale organizing system. Nooks and crannies emerge and create pockets to host the life of the city. Hidden from the main street and only announces itself via a tower which media is projected upon. This holds significance as Lawrence only builds upwards to demarcate important eras.

The ‘mostly pointless’ zone of the project contains no specified program but rather lets itself become anything it wants. An exception however, is the tower. Quite pointless except for the screen up top which allows media to projected upon it. It becomes the beacon and the identity of the space.
The ‘commercial’ zone is a collection of parts and buildings that loosely sit within the bounding edges of their plots. Their geometry and lack of understanding of context are only intensified by their scale. Everything in this area is seemingly built for a person, not people. Nooks, crannies, undiscovered spaces, they belong to the ones who occupy it.

Center For Dwelling Within the city of Lawrence, public amenities are sparse for the citizens who are currently atrisk of or experiencing homelessness. The Center for Dwelling (C.F.D.) acts a centralizing hub for resources that anyone within the community may need. Because of the sensitive nature of the program, the project is straightforward in programmatic organization but explores the tectonics and materiality of a building. Phenomenological associations are the keystone for this project.
The form of the building is unassuming, the main designintent was to elicit specific emotional responses using materials. Texture, scale of detailing, articulation, lighting effects, associations, these were all crucial in the exploration of this project. Two main focuses were the ‘mass wall’ bordering the plot boundary and the ‘wood wall’ bordering the interior courtyard. The mass wall is made of a two foot thick monolithic rammed earth wall with a sparse windows and skylight to evoke feelings of security, stability, and a heightened sense of ‘interior’. The courtyard wall is made of CLT wall panels and tongue-groove wood siding with larger / common fenestrations that look onto the courtyard to evoke feelings of domesticity, connection, and warmth. 34

The Center for Dwelling sits confidently within the site, establishing the boundaries with the mass wall, cueing to what happens beyond with irregular fenestation.

The program is pulled away from this wall and creates a void space which functions as a triple-height circulation space allowing for light to reflect on / off of the rammed earth wall. All of the program have views into the courtyard primarily for visual enjoyment but additionally allowing for cross-ventilation and optimum natural lighting scenarios. The exterior wall bordering the courtyard was designed with south-facing sun in mind, it was articulated in a way that would cast many small and gentle shadows, creating a sense of depth within the facade.

Chalmer’s Renova In the fall of 2016, the coffee shop within the School of Architecture and Design became defunct. Our studio was asked to renovate the space. What started as a relatively small project, transformed into a 6,000 sq. ft and $120,000 project. The renovation included: relocating a coffee and supply shop; renovating a gallery space, common space, and classroom; re-purposing offices; and creating a cafe space that can meet the unique requirements of daily affairs but also provide a space to host event and display work.

The macro / programmatic LIBNSCHU R T approach had to satisfy both day-ARY Z to-day affairs while also providing a space in which could respond to displaying student work and being an event space. This was achieved through the use of dynamic walls. The gallery space has a sliding glass wall and the classroom has a rotating CLT panel system. These conditions let the building to respond to the specific needs of the occupants.

The micro design strategy of the renovation was to distinguish the boundaries of the cafe. We did so by aligning walls and exposing the concrete floor to create an identifiable ‘slice’ within the building. We then used two axises to divide the space. The north wall was a place to display art (bar / gallery), the south wall was a place where the walls were the ‘art’ (shop / classroom). A secondary division was also created to establish static elements on the west, and dynamic on the east. These were the telescoping glass walls and rotating clt panels.

Once the design of the project was solidified, studio goals shifted towards construction. My particular role was being part of the Construction Document Management team and focusing on the entire process of the construction and installation of the CLT wall. Responsibilities for this ranged from: shop drawings for manufacturers; meetings with the engineer; hardware research; managing Revit Central File; construction document production; the list goes on. However, it is crucial to note that every task I was involved with would not have been completed without the tremendous help of my peers, teaching assistant, and professor.

Scarborough, England has a varied history but perhaps the most notable is that of a holiday spot for the English working class. Families would travel to Scarborough to experience: swimming; arcades; parks; spa; and so much more. Because of it’s unique history, the collective memory of Scarborough is tinged with nostalgia. It exists both in the real world and that of memory. My approach to designing a spa for Scarborough was to avoid adhering to ‘this or that’ but rather oscillate between the binaries that Scarborough seems to exist within.

entrance level The site is located at the top of a hill with an approx. 15 meter drop between the highest and lowest point. The general strategy was to terrace the building with the terrain and pull apart the ‘logistic’ and ‘experiential’ program, leaving a public courtyard in between the two. By doing so, the building starts to embed itself into the fabric of Scarborough. Internally, the layout is quite simple. The entrance level contains all the logistical program, check-in, showers, changing rooms, etc. The sauna level (1 story below entrance) contains the saunas and the plunge pool. The lowest floor contains the two main pools, hot pools, and private court. 60

Additionally, an exploration of this project was to understand the role of an ‘architectural language’ played in perception of the building. At points this project shifts from simple moments as displayed above, to repetition of language to build up to complex moments displayed to the right.

The following work was generated over the summer of 2017 in a class called ‘OBLIQUE STRATEGIES OF DESIGN’. The aim was to discover different methods of approaching any design work from an non-direct process and on the way discovering new facets of any situation, present, past, or future. In addition, a more personal goal was introduced which was to explore the tangled relationship between subject and object.

The “Bastard� is a chair from chairs. Created by cannibalizing chairs that have been discarded in the alleyways of Lawrence, Kansas. Tossed from their homes and displaced from their identity they become the canvas for imagined origins. The Bastard is the hero of the displaced. Nothing but a chair, nothing but chairs, but where did these chairs come from?

In spring of 2016, I was asked by a professor to develop a model and series of drawings for their research on the examination of the ‘town center’ typology through Owen Luder’s built works. This model of Catford Centre by Owen Luder was generated in rhino by creating a database of images taken of the building by residents, photographers, passersby, and cross-referencing them to build the centre from ground up. This work is still ongoing and what is displayed is only a small portion of the analysis.
