This project emphasized an investigation of the complexity and sophistication of architectural nuances. In addition to a focus on graphic representation, physical models were highly critiqued. The given constraints were a typical Chicago corner lot and a structural grid system comprised of 30’ X 30’ bays. Liberal programmatic requirements defined a Humanities Center. After determining an appropriate amount of square footage and establishing functional circulation routes, the primary study was characterized by experimenting with height, aperture and materiality. The constant fluctation of design elements resulted in a meticulously calculated spatial solution which satisfied both the structural grid and building codes.

STRUCTURE|MARKET HALLThis project is an indoor/outdoor market hall which serves as both a local farmer’s market and venue. The site is located near a busy intersection which adjoins one of Chicago’s fluorishing, upscale neighborhoods and a more depressed area surrounding the former Cabrini Green housing projects and an industrial corridor.The primary emphasis of the studio was to examine the capabilites of steel as a structural element while creatinga place for community and economic growth within the urban environment.

This project was an investigation of wood frame construction through precedent study and model building of the First - Aid Posts in Marseilles. Both the primary heavy timber and secondary stud construction were examined in order to understand the continuous, skeletal nature of a wood structural system.

This project focused on component-driven design. A component was selected through precedent studies. After its structural and modular capabilities were analyzed, additional components were created in order to create more complex architectural systems. During the first phase of the project, a small scale pavilion was created for a competition in Flint, Michigan. The given constraints were to build an innovative temporary structure which would provide shade and seating while occupying no more than eight parking spaces during normal business hours.

The second phase of the studio involved integrating the pavilion into a generic parking structure and translating the component into a facade. In order to satisfy the program of a drive-thru museum for GM vehicles, I stacked multiple pavilions to create verticle display elements. The challenge of this aspect of the project was to remain within the confines of the given structure while providing adequate circulation for vehicles and pedestrians.
