CHRIS DUNN // Selected Works 2015
is a fifth-year student at the Tulane School of
Architecture in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is from
Charlotte, North Carolina, and is primarily interested
in how to properly connect architecture with its
predominantly urban context in order to create
more cohesive and more liveable cities. Recently,
he has also been excited about the possibilities
that parametric and algorithmic modelling offer
to designers, and hopes to utilize these tools in a
manner which may change their role in architecture.

300 CANAL STREET // New Orleans, Louisiana, USA / 2014 / Mixed-Use High Rise
Mixing residences, offices, and retail spaces, this building is programmatically similar to New Orleans’ historic French Quarter fabric, condensed into a single 2,600 sq ft site. The tower thus emulates the successful French Quarter block typology’s organizational principles, allowing covered communal outdoor spaces to break up the mass of the building and bringing outdoor spaces within reach for all residents and visitors. Likewise, residences and offices are placed in close proximity to each other, allowing a re-interpretation the live-work scenario common to the French Quarter’s history.

HARBOR ROW HOUSES // Pakhuskay, Copenhagen, Denmark / 2013 / Single-Family, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath
When applying the rowhouse to a floating setting, it is crucial that family lifestyles be maintained. This project therefore looks to take advantage of a second-level public access path in order to place family living spaces at the core of the building. With bedrooms and bathrooms separated by stairs, the family is left with a clean space for living and for entertaining guests.

KLØVERMARKEN INDUSTRIAL SITE REDEVELOPMENT // Kløvermarken, Copenhagen, Denmark / 2013 / Urban Plan + Sports and Community Center
On the island of Amager, an increasingly urban suburb of Copenhagen, sits Kløvermarken, a cluster of twenty-five sports fields. These fields lie just beyond a large industrial site, separating them from both Copenhagen and Amager itself. This project establishes paths through a redevelopment of the industrial site in order to connect Copenhagen and Amager with the fields of Kløvermarken. Mixed use buildings following the city’s courtyard paradigm are established on the site in order to help satisfy the city’s housing shortage and ensure the prolonged vitality of the area. Centrally-located is a Sports and Community Center built onto an existing pumping station. This Center will provide a vital social and activity hub for residents of the new community, and will act as a welcome center to new visitors.

JINTANG EXPANSION / NEW URBAN QUARTER // Jintang, Sichuan, China / 2014 / Urban Plan
As a satellite town of the massive Chengdu, Jintang is poised for significant growth. The town seeks to establish a new dense urban quarter connecting its old city and riverfront areas to the new highway and universities across the river. This new quarter takes its grid from the river’s curvature, while also carving a new waterway park through the new center. The resulting series of park spaces connect the city’s various districts and neighborhoods both to each other and to the river, while also following district boundaries, increasing both pedestrian access and legibility.

NEW ORLEANS DANCE ACADEMY // New Orleans, Louisiana, USA / 2013 / Dance School with Performance Spaces
In creating a place which honors dance, public access to spaces of performance is critical. Additionally, an effective method of grouping and relating dance studios is imperative as students learn dance. The solution to both was found by establishing a circulatory pattern that meanders through the building in a manner which encourages chance encounters. Circulation therefore offers a multiplicity of routes between destinations in the building, but all are related in such a way as to invite occupants to join into the dance which the project seeks to celebrate.

SPIRAL ALGORITHM // Modeling in Grasshopper / Lighting Fixture
Initially thought of as a filter for light, this project evolved into a spiral form that can be parametrically changed into an infinite number of configurations. This is constructed with a series of concentric, spiral-shaped masses (step 3 below) which are duplicated and rotated to provide structure and enclosure. The whole form is therefore simultaneously expressive of its tectonic construction, the light-altering curvature of its surfaces, and the nature of its physical fabrication.
