CITY OF NODESUniversity of OregonEugene, Oregon, Winter 2013
Located in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, a city facing rapid population expansion, this proposal was developed in a group of four. Our vision was to create a city formed by series of grids with neighborhood centers at major transit intersections and walkable connections to the beach. Continuous and expansive green spaces would defi ne district edges while also helping to mitigate fl ooding and provide safe passage for the area’s wildlife.

IN THE EYE OF WARUniversity of OregonEugene, Oregon, Fall 2012
A war letters museum in Portland’s Pearl District explores the effect of war as a fragmentation of the whole. Beginning in the darkness of a planetarium, the visitor progresses through a series of channeled views, culminating with the day’s sky.

TAKE PART INSTALLATION University of British ColumbiaVancouver, Canada, Spring 2012
Inspired by a childrens toy, this installation aims to provide a hub of student interaction within the existing lower hallway of UBC’s Student Union Building. Moveable colored pegs on an enlarged pegboard are meant to encourage abstract forms of expression, polling, and exhibition. The fl exible framework of spaced 2x4s can be easily adapted to support new installations, advertising, and utilities.

RIBBON LANDSCAPEUniversity of British ColumbiaVancouver, Canada, Spring 2011collaboration with Lőrinc Vass
This parametrically generated landscape was adapted from a model of a stairwell using Grasshopper and Rhino. Our intent was to use increasing degrees of randomness to create a landscape that was calm and smooth on one end, but became more turbulent towards the other end.

CHASING THE SUNUniversity of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada, Fall 2011
This site analysis examines the availability of sunlight throughout the day of the equinox. Using a sketchup model as a basis for sun studies, I discovered the heights at which the full area of the site would be sunny at each hour of the day. I then modifi ed the resulting platforms based on the shaded area at each respective time of day. Finally, to ensure that the platforms would not block the sunlight of other platforms, interfering areas were cut away.

IN WITH THE TIDE Danish Institute for Study AbroadCopenhagen, Denmark, Spring 2009
This plaza was designed for Havnestaden, a newly developed neighborhood in outer Copenhagen. The neighborhood is sandwiched between the harbor and a park and the proposal seeks to address this situation. Elements are designed to foster greater connection with the ebb and fl ow of life in the harbor and the natural attractiveness of the fælled (natural park) to bring human scale and living warmth to the steel, glass, and concrete of the development.

THE COVEDanish Institute for Study AbroadCopenhagen, Denmark, November 3rd, 2008
This charrette challenge was to design a social bench using a single 2.4 x 1.2 meter sheet of material in 28 hours. Working in a group of three, we came up with a design that used nearly the entire sheet by folding and cutting the bench in 3 large pieces. The crescent shape is meant to encourage conversation and was inspired by the cove we had recently visited on a sketching tour.
ARCHIPELAGORoyal Danish Academy School of Architecture Copenhagen, DK. 2008
Working in a team of four over 6 hours, our initial concept was to create island that was seemingly ideal but in fact uninhabitable, inspired by a scene from Life of Pi by Yann Martel. In our version, the island’s inhabitants have mined a island paradise of precious natural resources and as a consequence it has begun to sink into the sea. The islanders survive by building out haphazardly from their rooftops with found materials.

DECK DESIGN-BUILD Felton, CA, Summer 2008
The deck has been used for sunbathing, summer dinner parties, and small backyard concerts. It was constructed in two months by the 5 members of my family. The deck surface is composed of TimberTech composite boards and redwood. The framing was set at a 45 degree angle perpendicular to the decking boards to reduce the amount of material needed.
