The society in which we live has become increasingly enthralled with the digital, the virtual, and the temporary. This developing network society has displayed an insatiable appetite for a constant flow of instant gratification its everyday activity. Because of this progression, there is now an over-stimulation of our visual sense and a general neglect of our secondary means of perception. As a result which we have effectively begun to dilute every experience both enacted and received, and therefore have encouraged passivity as an acceptable way of life, learning, and understanding of the world.

This thesis seeks to explore the value and application of behavior modification in the built environment. Behavior is explored as a means to disrupt the current culture of passivity and engage individuals in active perception and participation. In doing so the capacity for acquisition learning, or the gain of knowledge through physical experience, is greatly enhance. With this newly expanded capacity, the opportunity to impact and improve our society through innovative means is unleashed.

The Institution for the Reacquisition of Learning serves as an alternative to the scrutinized system of secondary education and fosters an environment for innovation through tactile means. Based upon the idea of independent, entrepreneurial research and development by students, rather than a traditional student-teacher relationship, the institution functions as an environment intended to distill the acquisition of knowledge into its purest, most propitious state.

The affordable housing and mixed-use building project is located on the corner of Polk Street and Broadway Avenue in San Francisco, CA. The site formerly served as a Walgreen’s parking lot and contributed little to the condition of the neighborhood. The main issues addressed by this project were the relationships between San Francisco housing typologies, solar access, livability for the residents, and connection to the rest of the neighborhood.

The creation of community occurs on multiple scales of interaction: public and interpersonal. The project is intended to recognizes the differences and the importance of both. The gesture of SHIFT in the building creates a series of voids linked by thoroughfares, encouraging both event-based community and everyday interaction.

Adaptive Interface.

The essence of the award ceremony pavilion is defined by the connectivity of people and the adaptability of design. The gathering of people to inhabit a space is fundamentally essential to a pavilion’s purposing and repurposing. This awards pavilion provides an opportunity to connect the local, national and international communities.

Toronto is a uniquely diverse city in both its architecture and populous. Broken into a multitude of neighborhoods, Toronto is defined by districts of varying ethnicity, religion, industry and socioeconomic status. Between each district there exists a disconnect. The pavilion was designed as an opportunity for uniting not only America’s nations for this momentous occasion, but also the for uniting Toronto as a community unto itself. The design responds and adapts to the context from the climatic to the programmatic needs of Toronto .

Inhabiting the Field. This subtle awareness of the relationships between one’s physical and spiritual being is like that of the subtle relationships found in modern architecture. In both the practice of Buddhism and Modernism there is emphasis placed on the simplification of one’s life and space through the elimination of material luxuries, or in architecture, unnecessary ornamentation. The various aspects of the landscape are experienced through their translation into the five points of architecture as applied to the house. The site is located in rural Santa Margarita, CA. Previously undeveloped, the objective was to impact the site as little as possible as well as to embrace the natural qualities and imperfections of the land. For the project, the site’s unique quality was recreated through what began as an exploration of an everyday object. The process of drawing, deconstruction and plaster casting the forms of these objects allowed for a deeper understanding of their intrinsic qualities while contributing physical attributes to the site.

The positions of the openings relate to the meditation platforms, sicnificant elements of the landscape and Buddhist lifestyle.Through these openings, the owner is able to experience the subtleties of the architecture simply through daily activity.

ZIP.A quarter of a million zip ties formed a fabric, which eventually encompassed an entire gallery “storefront” space.

It transformed the gallery into a bristled vortex of swirling, cavernous forms magnified through reflective cellophane

and augmented by subtle changing color. ZIP was the result of a collaborative effort through research, acquisition,

design, and construction of an environment functioning as haptic reading room. The design was developed over the

course of three weeks culminating in a four- day installation period. ZIP ultimately promoted visitor interaction with

the fabric’s prickly surface, through books, light, music, color, and conversations, which allowed visitors to become involved in the each thesis.

The featured furniture was designed and constructed between

2009 and 2012 for the Vellum Design Build Furniture Competition.

The pieces are constructed of entirely scrap wood and metal

salvaged from a local cabinet shops and scrap yards. They are

composed of a multitude of wood species including individual

pieces of discarded walnut, cherry, hickory, mahogany, and

coca bola. This method of salvaging supplies results in minimal

production costs and a small ecological footprint. Rather than

creating new waste, the designs are able to reduce the impact

originally created by the industry of origin while maintaining

the intrinsic quality of the material. The final result is cohesion

between industry, the environment, and engaging design.

The collection of selected works to follow explore the realms of

design not immediately relating to architecture. This exploration

of various media indulges and expands my understanding of

the delicate relationship between art and architecture.
