The Nasca lines, a southern Peruvian phenomenon, are strong linear scars across the barren desert landscape. The power behind these gestures informs the linearity of a Trav-eler’s Inn on an Andean slope overlooking the Sacred City of Caral Supe.
To maintain each unit’s maximum view and individual land-scape, two long rows of private residential units nestle into the landscape and bend to compliment the topographical fea-tures. Sand and wind reveal and bury an evolving landscape. Public space provides a buffer between the two extensions, and the open air restaurant patio and upper gathering area overlook the beautiful Supe Valley and its archaeological treasures. The edge sinks into the mountainside, a treasure yet to be uncovered. An outdoor stair frames views as the user descends the landscape. Rocks recovered from excava-tion become a central feature in the scheme, providing visual interest, separation of materials, and wayfinding devices.
Quincha, a traditional mud and plaster method of construc-tion, utilizes a native bamboo structure that is inherently earthquake resistant. The bamboo is revealed on the ceiling, showcasing its lightweight flexible structural qualities.

Rooting TsukijiTsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo Bay, Japan- Earl Prize Honorable MentionEllen Hart & Eric Wall - 14 week partner project, Rotch Traveling Studio

Detail Section
This design looks at how culture and nature can begin to work together to reinforce one another. The result is an infrastructure that permanently roots the Tsukiji fish market both physically and spiritually as a symbol of Japan’s culture and history, forming an artificial grotto that elevates the concept of fish market to something worthy of much higher regard. As a result there is a re-newed understanding of the importance of the relationship between man and ecology.

A system of concrete walls gives structural and spatial organization to the market. The walls form boundaries between spaces, and the walls them-selves are also inhabited; market stalls, storage space, and circulation space are carved into them, emphasizing their mass and presence. These walls work to filter the water that they contact, allowing the water that naturally permeates the site to slowly draw its way down into the ground, naturally filtering itself, and replenishing aquifers below. The form of the wall is both a vertical interpretation of the plan, and a formwork of the ecological process of filter-ing and directing water. The market thus becomes about experiencing the enormity and mass of these walls, the interaction between water and land, hu-man and nature. They defiantly state that Tsukiji is permanently rooted and here to stay.

Spatial SequencingInitial Sketch
This project addresses Willard Airport’s site axis and the North-South axis by bringing visual continuity to the two conflicting axes. The instructional facility and hangar are organized accord-ing to these axes and function is divided clearly to address the varying program needs for the space. A glass entrance atrium with a solar array brings the occupant into the building while providing sharp visual interest and a clear connection to the airplane hangar. A bridge runs along the North-South axis and provides access to the educational wing and accessible green roof. The offices are located in a separate wing along the South-west facade and are separated by a large concrete thermal mass wall. This separation provides privacy, a separate means of entrance and threshold from the rest of the facility. Daylight is allowed into the space through clerestory windows that provide indirect sunlight into the classroom, shops, and offices.

To accommodate the hangar’s long span, a ca-ble-truss system is utilized. Similar to a steel truss, a cable truss replaces the tension members with cables. The benefit of this system is the minimal amount of space required for structural elements. The second floor provides a bridge walkway that penetrates the hangar and provides visual access to the hangar and exterior. Since classrooms occupy the majority of the second floor, this walkway provides an educational opportunity for educators and students.
The entrance sequence provides a view of the second floor bridge that allows access to classrooms and the green roof. The photovoltaic panels are integrated into the angled roof, and the protrusion provides operable window space where the glass angle and flat roof meet. Shops are located to provide easy access to the hangar and atrium space. The thermal mass wall provides an exterior hallway, separating administrative and educational program, while preventing negative thermal loads from the adjacent glass curtain wall.

Interlocking EfficienciesMixed-Use Apartment Building, Chicago, IL - Earl Prize Nominee

Overlapping Planes Interlocking Surfaces Push back Unbroken Surface The interlocking mod-ule translates to over-lapping floor-slabs.
Where the floor slabs overlap, the interlocking planes are programmed to become usable space. The interstitial space be-comes carved out seating areas, bed space, bath-tubs, counterspace and stairways.
The facade pushes back where the overlap occurs to reveal the interlocking floor slabs. This carved out area allows the exterior to reflect the interlocking structure.
Where the carve does not occur the façade remains a smooth plane perforated with window punches. The arrangement of the windows reflects the evolving interior while maintaining a readable linearity.
ContrastReveal
This project asks to challenge the normative through the inves-tigation of structure, part to whole relationships, and the city. Investigations in model and mod-ule development are used as a springboard in developing the strategy for structural approach, spatial arrangements at different scales, and how the experience of the city influences the project.

The overlapping spaces are always comfortable because the user experiences them in a prescribed manner: sitting, laying, traveling down stairs etc. Program is carved out of the overlap to maximize usable space.

Parking rises with each residential unit up to the seventh floor. This creates a “personal driveway” which allows ten-ants to park on their residential level with easy access to their own front door.
