01 HIDDEN LIVES BARCELONA RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS Within the beauty of Spain are the people that hold family and community values to a high regard. This design opts to engage residents with exterior walkways that surround the perimeter of the building, thus giving the feeling of individuality as if one were to own their own home. While many buildings organize their spaces opposite of Hidden Lives, the benefits of having an exterior entrace allows for a more unified interior space, providing more security in a calm, controlled environment. Other designed features displayed include wicker filters between patios as sun protection and privacy purposes, community patios on every other floor, and an thermo-controlled skylight that allows ventilation through the roof.

02 GRECIAN WAVE CHICAGO PERFORMANCE CENTER Located in the city of Chicago, on the streets of W Jackson Blvd and S Green St, 301 S Green sits in a prominent cultural town known for its abundant Greek heritage. It is at this location that waves of Greek immigrants had come to settle down and live out their lives. To pay homage to their long and distinct history the music performance hall combines the thematic element of the sound waves music produces, alongside the abdundant waves of migrants who created and built this unique space, making it their own place they call home.

03 “THE GREAT PLANES” CHAMPAIGN INFILL LOT Transforming space into a place of learning, the creation of a small-scale bookstore gallery strives to connect the acquisition of knowledge and equity for locals within the city of downtown Champaign. The Midwest is typically thought to be made up of flat, extensive plains, though through the use of the butterfly roof the design seeks to play with different planar objects highlighting the various capabilities of what is thought to be average. However, alternatively speaking airplanes are what is most commonly come to mind when speaking of “planes,” this duality is represented through the roof structure as planes are meant to transport you to different places, as does reading when one picks up a book.

04 CURIOUSITY & DISCOVERY FULTON MARKET REDESIGN Home to the Fulton Market, 918 W Randolph is an area in which one can see the history that was once laid out where the spaces are now converted into mixed-use of retail and offices. The lack of demographic diversity can be noticed upon analysis of the neighborhood, the proposed redesign would cater to young generations as well as the working class, blending the usages of offices on the top most floors with children’s retail. The structure itself is meant to reflect the curiousity of children that often gets lost with age, the exploration of differing contours of the building while still maintaining a modern touch.

05 “FLYING COLORS” ALBANY PARK TOOL LIBRARY Tool libraries were created as spaces to provide materials and services to the all community members in the region. Placed in the Chicago neighborhood of Albany Park, (3311 W Lawrence Ave), this particular project was a collaborative effort as we sought to portray the unique diversity of people, represented through colorful murals and greenery. Designated spaces include a warehouse, tool demo space, and an open terrace. The overall vision incorporates interactive elements ultimately functioning as an advertising mechanism to bring people in and wander among the tools as passersby experience the art culture, which is a prominent aspect seen from the neighboring buildings in street art and shop signs.

COMMUNITY GARDEN EATERY Located in the town of Spiez, Switzerland this project was inspired by “The Sound of Music” and the scene in which the family is seen joyfully having a picnic together. With that it was significant to have a beautiful view to enjoy while one is eating. The seating itself is integrated into the vineyards where community memebers are able to pick out the freshest ingredients for their meal. The tabletops take on an organic shape to signify the movement of water as one looks out onto the lake and past that see the Swiss Alps. The main focus of the eatery is the importance of readily available, healthy food while also having a place with a stunning view that is accessible for many.
