big sky, montana
The warming hut is a place of protection: providing shelter from the elements, while allowingits inhabitants to still experience the Montana landscape. This building brings the outdoorsin by relating to elements of the neighboring site through form and texture of concrete. Themountainous horizon is expressed through the form of the hut. Timber from the area is usedin the concretes form-work to express trees distinct cross-sections, creating storage andwindows. These components come together to re-landscape the site.

ski lodge

This lodge is located in Big Sky, Montana, between two main ski lifts. Because mountainusers enjoy freedom of their trail, the footprint of the mid-mountain lodge is minimized toprovide them with more hillside space. This results in a stacking of the program. Thebuilding becomes a monolithic concrete box, and is then punctured with colored glassvolumes. These divide the program, let natural light into the lodge, and collect snow.

chicago woodtype institute
This building is located in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Currently, there is an existingbuilding that takes up the southern half of the site. Analysis of the site and program led to the decisionto divide the project into visitor and school spaces. The existing building is rehabilitated for the schoolspaces and a new wing is added to house visitor spaces. The rehabbed building is industrialtheproduction of artwork happens here amid the heavy machinery and mess of ink, paper, and wood type.The new wing is elegantwith its open double height entrance welcoming visitors and clean gallerydisplaying historical and modern wood type and art.

Wood type is an art form with strong graphics, expressed to the public on the main facades. Curtains can be drawnin the lecture hall, a versatile space clad in glass. The pattern on the curtain represents the half-rounds of maplethat are used to make wood type letters.

urban hotel This urban hotel is an adaptive reuse of the James R. Thompson Center, located at 110 W Randolph.In addition to traditional hotel spaces, the buildings primary feature is a 15-story bird enclosure.Here, and in the adjacent exhibition spaces, hotel guests and the public can learn about birds andavian ecology. The material palette for the lobby was derived from the bird enclosure, and houses abar and lounge. The primary seating feature in the lounge is inspired by a birds nest, with an organicform, hard twig-like base, and a plush soft seating. The twig- motif is repeated in the light fixtures,bar stools, and wall covering.

designing action Grids Edge revitalizes the formerly industrial area into a place that is both environmentally andsocially responsible. A thin layer of paths and fields float above wetlands, allowing water toebb and flow through the site. To minimize the built environment and maximize the area fornative species to flourish, all the programmed elements are stacked vertically. Here, Nashvillecitizens and visitors alike can partake in athletic, educational, and cultural activities.

flat lot pavilion In the skywalker pavilion, gravity does not exist. She makes a splashdown in the flat lot and awaits the arrival of earthlings. A series of folded components seemingly float overhead, while unfolded components envelop a canopy system. The broad urban footprint of the skywalker pavilion leads visitors onto the site. Color coded interventions guide the public to engage in a variety of events, both planned and impromptu, within her canopy and footprint. The skywalker pavilion is occupied differently throughout the day: seating and stages are extrusions of the painted footprint; yellow platforms define spaces for lounging, picnicking, and playing. After sunset, the main stage is strategically located to allow both the historic genesee towers and mott foundation building to become its visual backdrops.

1 Because this region has no electricity, weinstalled a simple geothermal earth pipeunderground to passively cool the house.
4 EPV Solar donated a solar panel, which we setup on the southern side of the roof. This provideselectricity to interior lighting and to the smallfan pulling cold air from the geothermal system.
3 A typical residence in this region of colonias.Most homes are made with found materials.

fifth year furniture elective
acorn end tablewest chicago, il
In July 2012, a violent storm hit West Chicago, tearing down 80% of Reed Keppler Parks oak trees. The student work from this furniture course was auctioned off in West Chicago to fundraise for rebuilding the park. The concept of locality was frequently discussed. What makes a built object local? The oak used in this end table is local to West Chicago. Beyond materiality, the acorn served as conceptual inspiration for this piece of furniture, as it is unique and local to the oak tree. An acorn is comprised of a tough shell protecting the seed of the oak, and is divided into two hemispheres. The acorn end table is made primarily of white oak, with an aluminum accent to contrast the oaks warmth and to represent the seam between an acorns two halves. The tables cap is removable to reveal a compartment for secret storage.fifth year furniture elective
