This project was the explora-

tion of varying facade patterns inspried by

materials used for ship sail fabrication.

We wanted to test materials that provided

large span coverage with extreme flexibility

and concavity. The fibrous materials were

arranged in strategic directions to create a

part to whole effect read as an overall pat-

tern along with individual panels. We also

wanted to experiment with the untouched

territory of vertical stacking of the three

theaters within the program. This was to

emphasize the elitest mentality of the the-

ater society. By elevating the main theater

we have forced the grand procession in an

extreme veritcal-sense. The atrium style

approach also gave unique opporunities to

maximize views within the Miami, FL envi-

ronment.

As the project progressed the

fibrous materials tranformed into structural

elements to allow for such large spans. By

patterning the structure we wanted to skew

the typical view of a glass facade bulding.

Along the section the floor-

plates are slighly recessed as one decends

through the building. This is to allow for

maximum sun protection without adding

mass to the exterior facade.

12Jacks City: City for 5 Million People

CS 2GB

The idea of challenging public vs private

space is what Jacks City represents. By

flipping the scale on public and private

spaces you now have private spaces that

feel public and public spaces that feel

private.

The overall scheme resembles the configu-

ration of the classic game of jacks. Straight

lines from point A to point B represent the

x-configuration creating streets. At the in-

tersection of these streets are public plazas

represented by the spherical objects at the

extremes of one individual jack. This basic

set up is simply a variation of two basic

elements; the street and the square. By

simplifying the makeup of a city the inhabit-

ants are able to add small aesthetic details

to give its unique personality and feel. While

this typical arrangement is what is viewed

from the public perspective it is what is

happening in the interstitial space that gives

it that extra attention. As the jacks begin to

converge and multiply the in between space

develops as private space, although this

space is not what is considered traditionally

‘private’ as it is shared by the surrounding

residences. This over-exaggerated private

space allows for a small community to

work as one without being confined by the

blocks they reside within. By avoiding the

neighborhood block-like set up a common-

ality is spread throughout the city. i.e. your

neighbor is not always someone you share

the same block with.


As the streets converge the public plazas

emerge. Within these plazas there are op-

portunities for community areas, commercial

buildings, and open spaces. It is at the

discretion of its local inhabitants to create

the demand for the plazas makeup. These

provide the shared urban space necessary

for daily function within a city, especially

the size of 5 million people. It gives a

breaking point and a sense of relief to the

surrounding residential fabric. There is no

downtown nor shopping center nor grand

mall, the public urban space is spread

evenly throughout the city. This causes

the surrounding residences to be directly

responsible yet effected by the development

of the public space and encouraging the

upkeep of these areas.

Each street is of the same length and each

plaza of the same size.

So as the population grows so do the

streets and plazas. Since plazas depend

on streets and streets depend on plazas

the urban growth stays consistent and

proportionate.

This city is not built on point A to point B

efficiency. I do not argue for this fact. What

I do want to challenge is the daily exchange

of public and private spaces. Forcing the

entire city to be self-aware of its sur-

roundings not just in their private homes

but within the public realm and what they

encounter on a daily basis.


13Chicago Urban Housing

Studio 2GB

This project is based upon the

traditional housing typologies of perimeter

block and courtyard. It is a journey down the

path of combining the two typologies and

challenging their restraints. By beginning the

transformation with a dual perimeter block,

adding filleted corners, severing at specific

locations then creating subtle rotations

a dynamic form is created. As the inner

rotations increase a delamination from the

exterior happens and allows for the unique

moments of interstitial space to occur. At

each of these moments a communal field is

shoved into the crevice. The bulbous oppor-

tunities vary in size and shape. Surrounding

each communal field is a “neighborhood”

of units fitting to the public program.

Although the exterior facade

mantains a monolithic form there are mo-

ments where it is shifted and peeled away

to allow for balconies along unique perim-

eter units. These balconies disperse the

hierachy of the overall community. The roof

is activated by individual rooftop gardens for

the interior units.

To maintain the monothlThe pe-

rimeter facade pattern disguises the interior

structure and floorplates while the interior

facades allow for full disclosure of the inte-

rior workings of the units. The juxtapositiong

of the two facades emphasizes the perimter

block units versus courtyard units.

14Mies Black Orchid

VS 2GB

This project exhibits the explora-

tion of black, Mies Van Der Rohe, and or-

chids. The process began with the study of

Rorschach inkblots in mass production fol-

lowed by 3D modeling of individual orchids

of varying species. After multiple disections

and sectional drawings the bookmatched

qualities of the Barcelona Pavillion were

imagined in 2D form. Lastly a formal layer

was added to provide depth and interest

throughout the overall installation. These

drawings varied in print mediums from film,

mylar, to bond. The stacking algorithim was

enhanced by clear glass and backlights to

providea realistic yet decieving approach to

Mies’ Black Orchid.
