504RESIDENCE
This project is a highly rated structure in
the historic district of downtown Telluride,
Colorado. With the integrity of the
Victorian exterior preserved, the interior
spaces have been vaulted and opened to
a clean, modern sensibility, allowing light
to fill the small cabin. A white oak wood
finish is juxtaposed with the texture of a
historic wood feature wall and the contrast
of dark, lacy mill finished trusses that run
down the main gable.

SITE PLAN
IN COLLABORATION WITH THOM AFFELDT
In this comprehensive studio, we were asked
to design housing for a diverse group of
socioeconomic classes. Our site, known as PD-5,
is located in Chicago. This is the former site of
the infamous Cabrini-Green. By tearing down
this complex of housing, the city lost 1,000
units of housing for their residence. Therefore,
we were asked to provide for close to 1,000
residence, as well as addressing the park and
school that already exist on the site.
The implementation of a large scale perimeter
condition was an attempt to invert the Chicago
skyscraper typology. The perimeter of the
project was designed as a porous membrane
that responds to light, views, and movement.
The density of units required by the brief and
the desire to provide public green space to the
surrounding communities, led to the design
of a nested, double-loaded corridor condition
around the perimeter of the site. Between the
double-loaded corridor on the exterior and
the single loaded corridor on the interior, a
linear park was designed as the connecting
street for the residences. The linear park also
acted as the membrane connecting the various
programmatic elements together (resident
entrances, office spaces, commercial spaces,
farmers market, park space, etc.)

BLEAKHOUSE
WITH NARCIS TUDOR ARCHITECTS
Built before 1904, this house is one of the last
remaining Main Street structures of Telluride’s
Victorian mining era. Bleak House is now a full
historic restoration with a utilitarian, stylistically
mill addition connected by a light hall/link in the
back. The link is an architectural element used to
embellish the division between what is historic
and what is new. Bleak House has a soul. Echoing
Charles Dickens’ novel of the same era, Bleak
House continues to tell its own story.

HISTORIC EXTERIOR
In a global society of “Google, Wikipedia, and
Twitter” the access to knowledge, around the
world, can no longer be an issue. Unlimited
access has born a more insatiable crisis, the
organization of knowledge. “Zeitgeist Factory,”
a project focused on the exploration of how
designers navigate and understand networks
of information, enlists “relational thinking” as
a mechanism for cultivating, participating, and
ultimately registering the spirit and knowledge
of today’s culture.
This imaginative project uses the Pantheon,
with its classical understanding of knowledge,
as an organization or black box for the project.
This site becomes the hub for translations of
networked thinking into a new understanding/
creation of space, as Zeitgeist Factory begins to
unmake its classical order based on the currents
of today’s social information. The typewriter,
an analogous mechanism to the Pantheon, is
used as a catalyst for the project by utilizing its
inherent structure, the abecedarium, as a way to
cultivate and order issues of today’s culture.

THESISZEITGEISTFACTORY
A Note: My thesis exploration was by no means futile, but rather unattainable. What is the architectural/spatial organization for a culture that is more global that it has ever been?...not to mention moving faster than the speed of light. Information is sent, received, stored and discarded with the press of a button.
Nevertheless, the adventure was epic.
Peter Eisenman argues (excuse me while I paraphrase) thesis has no agency for students at our level of education, due to the fact that we do not know enough of the discipline to have a statement about the discipline. While in many ways I agree with him, I would submit that the value in thesis is not at all about our understanding or knowledge of the discipline. The value is in the exploration itself. With a hyper-condensed search, focus, and effort, thesis becomes a vast and irreplaceable learning experience. Four years removed, I still find myself digesting, speculating, and rehearsing my thesis experience. We do not know much about the discipline, I agree...that takes a lifetime. There is time for that.
TYPEWRITER SITE ANALYSIS DETAIL
With regard to its translational
capacities, I understand the
typewriter as 4 recording devices:
The keys: record through
frequency of use. You can
understand how often a key has
been used, with respect to the
others, because of the residues
left from the touch of a finger.
The ink strip: is the purest record
of what has been written. It moves
one space as each key has been
pressed, so if you want to strike
a letter you have already written,
the ink strip will record the strike
after the letter being struck.
The paper: is the most legible
and temporary of the recording
devices. It is a projection of ideas
that implies a single voice.
The platen: theoretically registers
everything that has ever been
written on this typewriter. It
implies multiple voices, conflating
ideas and it produces possibilities
for new reads.
TYPEWRITER SITE ANALYSIS

With respect to the typewriter, the Zeitgeist factory utilizes the abecedarium, which is an
organization of things from a-z, as a structure for understanding culture. Each letter is translated
as a machine, I’m calling a cultivator, which goes out and records specific aspects of culture and
returns to the factory to deliver and register that information, making the factory a house of
cultural knowledge. To name a few:
C is for Charlotte: referring to Charlotte’s web, C is interested in the weaving of connections and
interactions we have through the use of social networking sites like facebook and twitter.
E is for Edinburgh: this cultivator has a specific site; it goes to the basement of a library in
Edinburgh, where there is a black box that predicts catastrophes. The black box constantly spits
out a series of random numbers. When there is about to be a catastrophic event, the numbers
begin to make sense. (It predicted 9/11 and the Indian Tsunami)
S is for Stowaway: S goes into the ballasts of ships and tracks the movement or transportation
of invasive fish.
This drawing began as the a list or index of culture form a-z, and by enlisting “relational
thinking,” the list grew out to become more like a cloud structure. An example of this:
Y is for Yellow: The word yellow can relate to Beowulf. (the first recorded use of the word yellow
in the English language appeared in Beowulf) This can relationship can then branch out into
mythologies and fictions, which opens up many other possibilities.
Another branch from yellow can move into Journalism. (yellow is a type of journalism that uses
eye-catching headlines with little research to sell papers) This might move into techniques of
writing or commodities of capitalism.
NETWORK CLOUD WITH LEXICON OF MARKS AND PATHS OF RELATIONAL MOVEMENT
SPATIAL INDEXING IN PLAN
UNMAKING THE PANTHEON IN SECTION
As each of the cultivators are activated, they produce a
residue or mark that registers their frequency of use. Due
to how often they are activated and their proximity within
the factory, they begin to influence each other. This creates
new interests in culture and relationships with one another,
which also begin to change their location within the
factory. As they change position, their residues begin to
transform depending on the proximity of other cultivators.
In the same way that the Abecedarium serves as a
structure for seemingly disparate things, for this project
the Pantheon serves on one level, a specific kind of
understanding and order of knowledge, and on the other
a structure to allow these cultivators to exist with one
another. Through the cultivators residue, they begin to
unmake the Pantheon and its order of knowledge.

Located on a steep, heavily wooded site, the
house embraces the natural topography by un-
winding through the trees. The use of glass and
steel allow the interior spaces to spill out into
the exterior, blending the distinctions between
dwelling and nature.

WUNDER-KAMMER
This study begins with a
precedent, Le Corbusier’s Palace
of Assembly in India. Principles
of this building are reduced to
their essential elements. They are
then manipulated through the
principles of organization held by
a Cabinet of Curiosity, creating a
new understanding of organization.
The Cabinet is constructed using
these reinterpretations, a material
language, and the root ideals of
curiosity. The design tenets created
in the Cabinet are realized at
various scales when applied to the
site, the building, and the gallery
display within.

Enlisting the design efficiency of a yacht, the
small size of this condo drives the design
focus to natural light and unobstructed
views through the space. The use of an open
tread stair and hanging loft help heighten
the perceived scale of the space, while also
allowing access to natural light from all areas
of the condo.
