Institute for Industrial EcologyGraduate Thesis, 2011
ACCESS
SUSTAINABILITY
INDUSTRY
Portland Oregon is well known for its sustainability
initiatives in the areas of urban planning and green
building. With the development of the Northwest
Institute for Industrial Ecology (NIIE), the region can
add industry to the sustainability mix. Developing
sustainable industrial practices not only provides
a competitive advantage to the region’s existing
industrial sectors, it also enhances the region’s ability
to attract new industries and economic investment.
NIIE is a catalyst project that incorporates research
facilities, business incubation and public access to
the riverfront. Sited along the Willamette River, just
north of downtown Portland, the form is inspired by
the undulating waves of the water and the desire to
create semi-enclosed outdoor space that celebrates
the river. Capitalizing on its adjacencies to both
industry and ecology, the institute’s research focus is
the development of sustainable industrial materials
and processes based on ecological and natural
systems principles.
The nine acre site is broken down linearly. The
bioswale and parking lot mitigates stormwater
and buffers the institute from the existing industrial
context. Periodic openings are punched through the
curvilinear building mass and frames views of the
river whether you approach from the street or the
parking lot. The ground floor contains restaurant and
business incubation space, while the 2nd and 3rd floors
reserved for the institute. Open office and lab spaces
are oriented towards the river to maximize views and
encourage collaboration and informal interactions.
Private offices are buffered from the more social
oriented spaces through a service spine, containing
utilities, meeting rooms and essential services. A
cantilevered green roof blends the structure with the
site’s natural surroundings and provides covered
access to the outdoors during inclement weather.

Canvas RestaurantSpring Studio 2010
Canvas Restaurant is an adaptive reuse of the
ground floor of an historic building in the Old Town
neighborhood of Portland. Built in the 1880s, the
Blagen Building is one of the last remaining cast
iron buildings in the city. It was originally used to
manufacture tents, awnings and sail cloth. Currently
used as commercial office space, the design proposal
calls for converting it into a restaurant loosely
associated with the University of Oregon’s Portland
satellite campus, which occupies the majority of the
adjacent buildings on the block.
The restaurant’s palette maximizes the exposure
of the building’s original historic materials (brick,
cast iron, and heavy timber) and blends them with
contemporary elements. The earth and neutral tones
enable key areas to become a “canvas” to display
artwork created by university students and local
artists. The seamless integration of the old and new
pays subtle homage to the building’s original historic
use without taking away from the new restaurant/
gallery concept.
The space is broken down into to main areas, the
double height main dining space and the mezzanine.
Main dining is open and communal, and can be
configured to accommodate a variety of public and
communal gatherings. The large historic doors can
be opened up to the street blurring the line between
restaurant and sidewalk. The mezzanine is enclosed
and intimate, thereby better suited for more private
and intimate gatherings.

Gresham City HallWinter Studio 2010
with Jeff Knighton and Chris Nielson
Part of the U of O’s Sustainable Cities Initiative, the
proposal is one of several presented to the city of
Gresham for a new City Hall. The design addresses
sustainability and planning issues at the urban, site
and building scale. The suburban block is broken up
and scaled down to increase development density
and walkability. The building footprint is minimized
to make room for a public plaza, creating an inviting
space for social, civic, and community activities. The
central atrium and ground floor council chambers
provide both formal and informal opportunities for
the public to interact with city workers. Accessible
outdoor space is integrated into each floor with the
green roof garden simultaneously providing a place
for retreat and stormwater mitigation. The width of
the building wings is reduced to maximize daylight
access. Each facade is customized according to solar
orientation and the integration of passive ventilation.
