Live+work+Learn is a mixed-use building for artisans and craftspeople. It stewards local ecology through rooftop gardens, weaves into the existing historic fabric, and takes accountability for its complete lifecycle with re-usable materials.

Ring of Fire is a temporary climbable structure of 2x4 and salvaged climbing rope. It was assembled quickly by a team of four, from eight identical modular frames. For one week it brought imagination, intrigue and playfullness to an unused field aside the UO Law School.

Bamboo Moon is a wall-mounted luminaire that creates focal glow and sparkle in a small art gallery setting. Capable of highlighting artwork or as an Asian-inspired art piece on its own, this luminaire inspires one to look at lightings in a new manner.

Concentric layers of bamboo sushi sheets align the light into vertical rays, casting a beautiful pattern on walls and ceilings. Hanging approximately two feet from the wall, the bottom of Bamboo Moon is positioned to cast a diffuse light down upon a gallery display case or wall hanging. Outward facing surfaces are lined with vellum to produce a soft focal glow, while the wall-facing surfaces are left uncovered to cast vertical rays of light - sparkaliscious!

Greenwheel bike shelter was completed with volunteer labor and donated materials, in collaboration with community members. It creates shelter and a destination for middle-school students arriving by bike.

Amongst plants and soil, at a small organic farm in California, my life began under the

care of two loving gardeners. now I find myself drawn to urban centers where nature seems far away, but communities are working to bring urban farms and greenspace to the concrete jungle. From the age of fifteen through my mid twenties I worked as a sea kayaking and white-water rafting guide. I did this because I feel most at peace in nature, and the river will always be my home. When I wasn't on the river, I was at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I received my B.S. in physics. I learned that we have all the technology we need to solve

the world's energy crisis. What we are lacking is the leadership and discipline to implement it. While pondering a solution to that problem, I turned to carpentry, which I knew gave me great satisfaction and pride. Soon I was working construction full time. After about four years as a carpenter I finally discovered my calling to become an architect. here I realized I could affect the way we consume energy, satisfy my love of building, and improve the urban context all at the same time. The University of Oregon accepted me into their M.Arch program, and I devoted myself to aquiring the tools and knowledge of an architect. I studied, taught and built as hard

as I could for three years. Jocelynn entered my life while we were teaching together. We fell in love and were married the summer after her graduation. Upon completing my degree I worked with local Eugene architect gary Moye, aquiring the nuts and bolts of my profession, and the discipline of CAD drafting. now I am looking for career opportunities where I can pursue my love of craft and share my talent for creative problem solving with a dynamic, interdisciplinary team of designers.

Thank you for your time, Sylvan Cambier
