5. PERSONIFIED ATMOSPHERES
My focus as a result from a semester long research
seminar: technology’s effect on society and built form.
This focus became my Master’s thesis and final studio
project, which culminated into a chapter in our studio’s
book.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This urbanism imagines an island not surrounded by water,
but surrounded by society. Within this island individual
BE
thoughts are materialized in temporal atmospheric forms.
Ideas are realized and experienced in real time through the
use of five compoents: the carpet, the pod, the network,
and virtual meadow. These components are facilitators EVERYONE
and extensions of the human mind. They are the new
atmopshere producing computers that are nested into this YOU
interactive landscape. There are no buildings, no roads, no
stores; in fact you cannot buy anything here. You are asked CAN BE
to experience other’s creations and upload your own, if you
feel so inclined. The normal social currents are suspended.
Life waits outside for you. Within the premise is simple;
create, experience, and be inspired by the bubbling potential
and curious overlap of new thought based architectures.

METRA
This project is redesigns two under utilitzed city blocks near
the intersection of Grand and Milwaukee Ave. This dense
neighborhood is re-imagined to create a dynamic public
space centered around existing transit infrastructure.
New public space is created through the connection of two
existing datums, -25’-0” Subway and the +25’-0” Metra
line. A large public plaza is constructed around the exca-
vated and exposed subway line and alternatively the above CTA
grade Metra line featues an above grade plaza. All of these
new spaces are infused with housing and retail, as well as
uninterrupted public walkways.
The project is invested in creating a new vertical articulation RESIDENTIAL

ADJACENT EXPERIENCES
Autonomous and self-referential, this aquatic center derives
its form from the diagram of its users. Through the articula-

25. FIRE STATION:
TRANSPARENT COMMUNITY
Transparent and inviting, this fire station acts as a symbol of
the community.
It is designed to provide residents an intimate view of the fire
house, while encouraging the public to take advantage of its
integral public plazas. This building sits as a proud symbol
nested with a public space.

26. WINDOW DESIGN:
A NEW PROPOSAL
A proposal where the window becomes the project. It is
variable, expansive, and atmospheric.
The window wall has two suspended and overlapping stone
panels. The operable panel slides on a steel frame which
can modulate the amount of light and privacy.
The walls and the ceiling are sloped to conceal the window
frame and allowing light to wash against the bounding
surfaces and creating an endless feel to the room.

28. SKATE PARK:
SITE SPECIFICITY
An architecture of choreographed space. This project
carefully programs binary opposites,skaters and pedestrians,
through topography, pathways, and the occasional building.
Through the layering of these techniques, a once bleak site
becomes a vibrant, interactive enviroment.

MANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
WITH IN MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER HAVE BEEN MAJOR

THIS PROCESS IS ALWAYS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE. IT
REQUIRES WORKING WITH THE EXISTING STRUCTURE,
DESIGN, AND SITE CONSTRAINTS - NOT TO MENTION THE
CLIENT’S EXPECTATIONS.

VERY EFFECTIVE - THEY HELP CLIENTS VISUALIZE
