  • GOOD DESIGN IS A PRODUCT OF ALL OF THE INTRICACIES IN THE WORLD AROUND US.It goes beyond accounting for context factors, ecological factors, programmatic elements, and aesthetics. It is the wholesome result of all of

    these factors together, and many more, as they come into play with people. For me, the design process is a means through which I intake and story the world around me in an attempt to balance it with the patterns of human nature. As all architecture has an impact upon the world around it, I believe design must start with an analysis of context and a yearning for understanding what it calls for. In the end, a design is

    nothing if it fails to stir any emotion. A proper refinement of concept is a crucial aspect of my design process, and one which I seek to cultivate through tapping into as many facets inside and outside of architecture as possible. The play of forms and color, line and shadow, materiality and texture, are all notions that are especially of interest to me. A final design for me must seek to cohesively resolve issues through as little

    commotion as possible, while carrying forth a concept that can be inherently understood by anybody upon their first step into the building. In the end, if design doesnt identify with the person, then whats the point?

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    TECHNICAL & MEDIA ELEMENTS EXPLORED

    The Morrison Bridgehead along the western waterfront in Portland, Oregon is a complex junction of traffi c and people coming together along the principal axes of the city. Thus, its location at the heart of the city lends it to be the perfect location for the future James Beard Public Market. Named in honor of James Andrew Beard, a native of Portland and one of Americas most signifi cant pioneer culinary fi gures, the market will be a showcase of temporary and permanent vendors, retail space, educational space, and restaurant space all seeking to highlight Portlands rich culinary culture and history. This design for the James Beard Public Market seeks to highlight the entirety of the culinary experience, all the way from the moment produce is harvested to the moment it is prepared and served to the public. The program is arranged in a linear manner, with all of the vendor spaces organized along the indoor/outdoor gallery level 66 above ground. People experience the market in its entirety, above ground and passing through an arrangement of temporary and permanent produce vendors - thus highlighting the signifi cance of grower-consumer interaction. The design connects four central nodes of the site above the bustling infrastructure of the bridge below: from the western end of the site, through the northern and southern nodes, and connecting to the river along the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The design calls for two 18 and 22 story towers at the western and southern nodes, marking a presence in the urban landscape and allowing for the growth of the city with over 350,000 s.f. of leasable space. The design brings activity above ground level in an e ort to not only bridge ends of the site that were previously very diffi cult to reach on foot, but primarily in an e ort to establish longevity in an urban move that brings the citys culinary culture to the forefront of the public eye.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    TECHNICAL & MEDIA ELEMENTS EXPLORED

    The city of Medford, Oregon currently relies on 5 fi re stations to service the 200,000 people within its metropolitan bounds. Most of these stations are old and severely inadequate for the needs of a modern fi re department. Station number 3 - the citys main station - is of no exception as the current building is just a step above a small suburban house. This design for the new fi re station number 3, which sits on the same lot as the current station but better located to avoid con ict with the nearby roundabout, seeks to provide an effi cient solution for a complex and growing program. In a world in which emergencies happen around the clock, fi refi ghters are a pivotal component of the community, and their ability to respond effi ciently is of the upmost importance. This design is inspired by the structure of the actual apparatus that is at the heart of every fi re department - the fi re engine. The tripartite structure of the building works to cohesively service the three elemental aspects of the fi re station: living, working, and mechanical systems. The building organization focuses on minimizing the response time for fi refi ghters by housing them as close to where they are needed in the crucial moments - right above the apparatus.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    TECHNICAL & MEDIA ELEMENTS EXPLORED

    As a vast territory of research land, scenery, and ecology, the scientifi c and exploratory attributes of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest make it a place perfectly suited to accommodate a place of worship and contemplation. Located an hour northeast of Eugene, the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest is a historical site that has been used for ecological research for almost 60 years. The task for this project was to design a rigid-shell surface structure atop Lookout Mountain, the highest point in the 15,800 acre forested site. The 2-mile hike to the top was a central consideration in the development of the structure as it led to a design that could be built entirely on site and using only materials re ective of the surrounding context. The striking views of the Three Sisters in the distance and the undulating layers of land leading up to the mountains were used as the driving concept in the design. 3D modelling through Rhino and Grasshopper software was used as a primary tool in the analysis and development of the shell structure.

    TECHNICAL & MEDIA ELEMENTS EXPLORED

    The historic Centennial Mills are an icon of Portland industry. Sitting in disrepair and abandoned since 2001, the old our mill marks the northern bookend to the Portland waterfront and the citys urban limits. The goal for this project was to revitalize a historic site with new and old elements into a new hub for the city comprised of retail, offi ce space, residential hotel space and ecological park area. With the urban and ecological edges bounding the site, there was a major consideration for creating a seamless and attractive transition into the site from its surroundings, including the neighboring Fields Park and the Pearl District, as well as an investigation of ecological conditions and building codes. The hazardous structural condition of the historic buildings and their connections led to a design that balanced aspects of historic preservation, completely new structure, and the reuse of signifi cant structural elements. The fi nal phase of the design focused on developing the scheme for a Visitors Center that would serve as the hearth for the site.

    THE PORTLAND REGIONAL CULINARY INSTITUTESITE CONTEXT

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    TECHNICAL & MEDIA ELEMENTS EXPLORED

    The Pearl District in Portland, Oregon is an activity hub for the city that encapsulates residential areas, retail, tourism, and a thriving culinary industry. The city of Portland is known for its remarkable food, and with much of it being centered in the Pearl District, this site on NW 12th and Hoyt serves as a prime location for a place of culinary education. This project focused on a design for the Portland Regional Culinary Institute and was initialized by the analysis of the composition of natural fruits and vegetables. Natural occurring patterns observed in these studies were used as inspiration for a free-plan structural system consisting of wa e-slab and column construction. The program called for an arrangement of student spaces, faculty spaces, lecture halls, teaching kitchens, and crucial service spaces. The free plan allowed for a distribution of program elements throughout fi ve oors, creating a rising notion in the experience of the building that parallels the educational experience of the student: starting from the restaurant on the ground oor, through faculty, student, and classroom spaces, and culminating in the teaching kitchens and roof garden.

    The structural system and design of the facade was inspired conceptually by the nature of the very food that would be the subject of the building. Just as most fruits and vegetables have a strong seed at its core and a protective shell on the outside encompassing the soft inside, the structural system for the building is independent of the form and facade, allowing for the space within the structural system to be used in a exible manner. The core of the building, the atrium, serves to unite the oors by providing circulation, views, and daylight. The tripartite design of the facade hints at the exteriors of the old warehouses in the Pearl District, and its independent structure highlights the di erentiation of activity on the middle three oors.

  • CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES CHAIR/TABLE CONNECTION EVOLUTION

  • SLIDE: CHAIR + TABLE

    FURNITURE STUDIO

    This design was the result of a 10-week long furniture studio which focused on breakable furniture. The chair and table are often perceived as two separate entities serving two di erent functions - what happens when they combine forms by sliding into one another? For compact spaces in which both elements are desired, this design for a chair + table seeks to fuse the two entities when they come together while allowing them to be entirely self-sustained when they are separate. Through an attention to negative space and volume/void relationships, the chair + table slide into one another to suggest one form that is more complete in its material, volume, and structure. The whole design is made from one block of white Ash wood, with a careful attention to the arrangement of its pieces in order to re ect the character of the wood. The contrasts between the light and dark portions of the wood pieces create a complexity in material language throughout an otherwise simple and geometric form.

    This piece was selected as a nalist at the 2015 AWFS Fresh Wood student woodworking competition, held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
