Pride& St.Peter

Fall 2012Instructors: Sam Jacob

hat began as an interest in articulated interior space found within Saint Peters Basilica, became an effort to create a new housing typology that Chicago could call its own.

Pride and St. Peter evokes 17th century French master planning, the English Picturesque Landscape, the curvature of Ustad Ahmad Lahauris mausoleum domes, and is faithful to the lineage of the Greek Ionic column. Yet, each element has been relayed through the filter of the original governing geometry found in the plan of Saint Peters Basilica.

The result is an architecture of grandeur and idyllic vistas that no longer belongs to princes and deities, but to urbanites residing at the corner of West Harrison and Wells.

en-rainbowed

Fall 2010Instructor: Sarah Dunn


At the end of the rainbow is ___________. 1. an urban mountain 2. a new type of urbanism 3. an educatorium

n-rainbowed is an urban educatorium connected to Chicagos Union Station that accommodates the living, learning, and recreation requirements of a collegiate campus within one city block.

The project proposes a solution to the sprawl of the Midwestern city, which can be equated to an inland sea. A sea of trains, streets, and cars that create islands out of diverse neighborhoods, languages, and cultures.

In order for interaction and collaboration to occur, within the classroom or the city, the distance between people needs to diminish. en-rainbowed connects people and priorities through pure contiguity.

The use of Simply Maps served to provide demographic data on the various populations that live along the eight train lines of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). Popula-tion, income and ethnicity relay a combined trend that is telling of the residents and communities at the ends of the Blue Line versus Downtown Chicago. My interest in these different trends led me to design en-rainbowed to serve as an icon of a more connected city; thereby attempting to bring Chicagos many populations together.

he shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Within a cube, the shortest distance between opposite corners is a diagonal line. Similarly, the most direct way to convey a message to a wide audience is also a line, a line of text. The efficiency of the diagonal line is what governs the circula-tion within holegrain, a mat building programmed as a publishing house.

Large open areas and dense floor plates are separated by an expansive, diagonal circula-tion ramp; yet, this large ramp acts as an artery as it allows movement from the ground floor to the the rest of the model in a single act of ascension.

Printing and production occurs on one half of the building that provides expansive, open areas. The writing and editing work for the publications all occurs on the opposite side of the building which is characterized by similar layouts and floor to ceiling glazing that allows for the infiltration of natural light. Here single floor transitional hallways enable proximity for offices and promote cohesion among the users occupying the five floors.

xplorations in curve geometry led to the generation of surfaces and complex volumes. My particular interest lent itself to the development of systems of repetition. Meditations on Drawings is a redux look at accumulative pattern compositions as well as investigations of incremental variation through experimentation that I developed in my coursework.

Hands On Disaster Response

During the summer of 2010 I participated in the Transitional Schools Program orchestrated by

Hands On Disaster Response in Logne, Haiti.A total of twenty schools were built over 25 months; providing 3,000 students and 219 teachers with safe

learning and working environments in their communities.

The disaster-resistant schools that were constructed utilized a unique hand rendered concrete wall forming

process. If an earthquake were to occur, the concrete walls of the school would create debris only the size of a

chain-link fence diamond; virtually eliminating the possibility for injury and ensuring ruble removal without

heavy machinery. While in Haiti I also developed a construction manual outling how to build these earthquake specific walls for Hands

On Disaster Responses future projects.
