The Al i form Pavi l ion was a project inspired by the structure and

form of a wing.

DEFINITION: a l i form - Of the shape of a wing.

The structure of the pavi l ion uses four canted parabol ic arches

anchored around a centra l c i rcular arch. Structural ly, the pavi l ion

is a c losed system, where the tens i le forces in the centered spine

and the compress ive forces in the cant i lever ing members termi-

nate into the base p l inth.

As a des ign p iece, the pavi l ion is meant to be a p layful yet

contemplat ive space. The structure celebrates the space i t

inhabits whi le a lso inspir ing wonder.

The piece was featured at the 2010 Spr ing I IT Open House.

Window table and Window plate are two projects inspired by the

preservat ion of wholeness. By keeping the p iece of rec la imed

wood in i ts ent i rety, both Window table and Window plate estab-

l i sh a d ia logue between their use, their or ig in and each other.

Congruent ly, the two pieces, being cut f rom the same piece and

created under the same des ire of appear ing l ight and

weight less echo each other s intent ions.

In the spir i t of keeping the p ieces as ref lect ions of each other,

the table and plate approach the way they touch the ground and

the way they are used; both are pedesta ls , one a pedesta l to

l ightness and l ight and the other to celebrate d in ing.

Exchanges program intends to

invigorate the surrounding

neighborhood by br inging var ious

programmatic e lements to a bui ld ing

and a s i te that was previous ly used for

industry. An exchange for more c iv ic

a f igure and ground level that seeks to

del iberately b lur the boundar ies of the

bui ld ing and the s i te as wel l as the s i te

and neighborhood.

By re- imagining the infrastructure that

the bui ld ing and the surrounding in -

dustry represented, Exchange becomes

a means for d iscuss ion of what i s pos-

s ib le in damaged and abandoned indus-

tr ia l s i tes . I t a l lows for a new type of

interact ion within the framework of a

neighborhood by creat ing unique publ ic

Intermodal Travel represents the promise of the ra i l industry,

celebrates the memory of t ranscont inental t ravel and promotes

the v is ion of the nat ional and local h igh speed ra i l in i t iat ives .

Intermodal Travel seeks to marry and blur the l ines between c iv ic

space and transportat ion. The bui ld ing reveals smal ler sca le

spaces on the way to a large atr ium platform space - honor ing the

spir i t of t ravel whi le a lso creat ing p laces of repose and pause. The

des ign grows from the surrounding vast farm land and township

merging into the p latforms leading to d istant dest inat ions.

The structural system is centered around core load bear ing

spaces, whi le l ighter structural t russes branche between and out

f rom those cores to cover and protect passageways and create

vistas outward towards surrounding landscapes and places.

The Incubat ion and Trade Post i s about ce lebrat ing food in both

new and old tradit ions. The post i s a market and c iv ic space that

revolves around incubat ing a network of urban agr iculture in the

Back of the Yards neighborhood in South Chicago - a p lace once

at the heart of Americas food but now r iddled with food deserts .

Incubat ion and Trade Post i s a lso an extens ion of the P lant Project

by John Edel and a lab of ideas for urban farming and i ts pursuit for

regional susta inabi l i ty. More important ly the project i s a cog in a

theoret ica l farming network, as wel l as a p lace to exhibit ,

educate, and commemorate th is new movement in food and c i ty.

The program acts as a restaurant , a hydroponic farm, brewery and

c iv ic space - each one feeding the other. This programmatic

interact ion b lurs boundar ies between bui ld ing and

network and network and c i ty - re l ink ing o ld arter ies of surv iva l .

Connect ing the larger network to the s i te of The P lant involves

resurrect ing the bur ied ra i l road l ines of the ex ist ing stockyards

as wel l as resusc i tat ing a culture of food processes, a lbeit under

a d i fferent l ight . To reconnect into th is artery of movement, the

hatch market sets up both a depository and docking stat ion a long

the east s ide of the s i te as to serve the ra i l road l ines.

Centered on s i te are the anaerobic d igester components . These

components serve a l l parts of the programs by receiv ing

disposable components of the var ious act iv i t ies on s i te . Around

the d igester i s a c i rculat ing street that serves as a c iv ic space

dur ing market hours and a ut i l i ty path for off-hour serv ice

act iv i t ies .

Grow spaces at the top of the market make use of natural

sunl ight and harvest ra in water us ing a tessel lat ing hexagonal

canopy that spans across var ious aquaponics grow stat ions.

Larger spaces on the west s ide reach up to 15 feet and a l low for

the growth of hops, whi le the south east branching spaces

operate any number of poss ib le grow operat ions.

The proposal for Rogers Park Montessor i was des igned as a response

for var ious programmatic needs. My role in the des ign was towards

the end of i ts des ign development phase and into a construct ion

development phase. I a long with the guidance of Jeremy Olsen,

studio d irector at Olsen Vranas Design & Bui ld , helped develop

c lassroom arrangements that ref lect the pr inc ip les of Montessor i

Educat ion whi le a lso creat ing a contemporary architecture that both

refers to the ex ist ing bui ld ing but a lso speaks to a renewed

commitment of the school s expansion of i ts curr icu lum and

Urban Interface was a compet it ion to examine var ious

approaches to r idership exper iences as i t re lates to Chicagos

new Bus Rapid Trans i t system [BRT] . This proposal for the

competit ion was created from a four-t iered staging exper ience

i .e . ; beacon, t icket ing , mapping , and departure/ f lex . The four

stages become the arrangement and der ived form of the

bui ld ing whi le way f inding e lements such as interact ive touch

screen e lements , large sca le s ignage and real t ime informat ion

displays guide and anchor r idership through the network the

B.R .T. has created to the Greater Chicago and i ts var ious

transportat ion networks.

Three years educated in the modernist t radit ions of Mies van der

Rohe at the I l l inois Inst i tute of Technology in a curr iculum that

addresses pr inc ip les of des ign, mater ia ls , construct ion, systems,

p lanning , h istory and theory has enabled me as an architect and to

constant ly d issect the bui l t environment around me. Var ious

exper iences working with architects , des igners , music ians,

sculptors and v isual art ists have cult ivated a r ich appreciat ion

for art and des ign and has nurtured an inc lus ive and r ich

perpsect ive. L iv ing in cultura l ly dynamic c i t ies l ike New York C i ty,

Chicago and Minneapol is nurtured my des ire to further explore the

realm in which des ign ex ists .

Des ign re lated interests inc lude furniture des ign, woodworking ,

architectural theory, speci f ica l ly that re lated to phenomenologica l

studies and history dr ive me to d iscover and look at the bui l t

environment in a conf luent way. These interests dr ive me to not

only understand architecture but a lso understand the h ighly

sensory and emotive natural environment.
