Resumé
Contents
125 x LenoxA comfortable, eco-efficient apartment community in the heart of Harlem, New York. By optimizing passive ventilation and indirect gain, energy usage (and bills) are minimized while keeping residents comfortable. A mix of unit types and ample community spaces promote diverse interaction. Efficient units are all based on a grid system that can be replicated on almost any site.
Natural and Mechanical Ventilation

Site Section Facing West
Winter Mode: With the glass wall closed, the sunspace acts as a thermal buffer, warming in low winter sunlight. Heat is stored in the thermal mass of the concrete floor. Heated fresh air enters through awning windows.
Summer Mode: With the glass wall open, fresh air is drawn through the unit by a stack effect, provided by solar chimneys and assisted by fans. Awnings shade from direct summer sun.

Springfield Public LibraryModern public libraries must cater to a multiplicity of oft-conflicting needs which all want to be treated with equal importance. This building acts as a placemaker that is both comfortable and easy-to-use. A new plaza works in concert with the neighboring City Hall and Farmer’s Market to develop a new civic center. Space is reserved for future expansion, and careful design helps make for easy adaptation.
This project was part of a Sustainable Cities Institute design studio working with the City of Springfield, Oregon.

5Design: The Creative Undergroundwith Jennifer Huang and Justin KadenAs part of the 2012 FiveDesign Challenge, we were asked to take a vacant lot and create something to revitalize downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Using creativity as a catalyst, we designed a series of media parks, complete with performance areas, projection screens, sound and video connections to other parts of the city, and twitter walls. These are located along a ribbon of art studio spaces that fill an abandoned subway line, with community and administrative centers located at the entrances, former subway stations. Streets along the route are included, with objects, such as billboards, displaying the work that is being done inside.
This project placed in the Top 16 of the competition.

Community Music Institute
Internal Town Square Garden Enters Building

A center for a Suzuki Method music program in Eugene, Oregon. The program is as much about music education as it is about creating “good citizens,” and requires active family involvement. There are small offices for private lessons as well as group classrooms and a performance hall, the school’s center and its public face. A garden offers a calm view as well as a place for play, lessons, and outdoor performances in good weather. Informal gathering spaces are located where paths cross most often, acting as informal town squares.

Site Plan at Storage Level
Section Model Facing North
For centuries, people stored food in earthen shelters, then switched to above-ground, energy-guzzling refrigerated boxes. This project in Eugene, Oregon tries to find a compromise, since people will probably always need to keep food cold for extended periods of time. Earth insulation cuts the energy usage, while a series of small storage rooms allows for easy temperature adjustment. All storage areas have easy access to truck and rail. The site connects to and blends with the nearby West Eugene Wetlands, extending habitat for native plants and animals and filtering rainwater. The site is shared with a brewery, which uses excess the excess heat from mechanical equipment and stores its products on site, and a small farm, which grows some of the brewery’s supplies.

Fågelbordet Luminairewith Scot Jahn, Brian Nguy, and Patrick TaylorFågelbordet is designed to provide a diffuse source of light for an individual work space. The luminaire should complement natural sources of light when available and provides sufficient light to replace it for office work when it is not available. Light emerges mysteriously from the slender wooden box, reflecting off the curving wings above and sending a low glow through the holes on the bottom. The luminaire is designed to be hardwired to a wall switch, but can also be controlled through the plug.
The light source for Fågelbordet is a 25 watt Sylvania T-8 FO25/841/Eco fluorescent bulb. The light temperature provided is 4100K with a CRI of 85.

Arbutus Corridor Steel Streetcar Shelter
This modular steel streetcar shelter for the Arbutus Corridor in Vancouver, British Columbia was the result of a short design project for Structures. We had to develop a concept, determine loads, size steel members, and perform stress and deflection checks. My shelter is meant to evoke movement when viewed from passing streetcars. Steel cables attached to alternating columns support fritted glass canopies to shelter waiting passengers.

River & the City: Takasegawa Canalwith Fraser Stuart
Urban Partí
Site Section Through Ponto-cho Park
Section Looking North at Sanjo Dori
View of Ponto-Cho Park
Sandwiched between a major shopping district and the charming Ponto-cho in Kyoto’s bustling downtown is the nearly forgotten Takasegawa Canal. Our plan reconnects people to the water. Redesigned landscaping at major streets to the north and south opens the Takasegawa visually to passerby. Steps to and across the canal let people reach the water. Two new parks create an east-west connection from the shopping district to the river as well as wonderful public places.
Taking advantage of native Japanese vegetation, we created a landscape which changes throughout the year. In Fall, Japanese Maples and Katsura trees line the path to the river with a riot of yellows and reds. In Spring, visitors are treated to the bloom of Cherry trees along the canal.

POND
DELTA
EDDY
Working with the Portland Sustainability Institute, we re-designed Portland’s Gateway District as part of the EcoDistrict pilot program. Despite several attractive features and the junction of several rail lines, the area has largely developed as an automobile-scale pass-trhough district along an interstate.
The grid is re-scaled for pedestrians and the district is re-oriented along a north-south axis. Taking advantage of vacant land, new entry parks are established at the north and south (the “Pond” and “Delta”) and in the center (the “Eddy”), with growth focused around them and the newly re-designed streets. Again capitalizing on what is already there, office space is weighted towards the ends while residential and mixed-use buildings fill the center, with density tapering off to the east. A new live-work area, the “Makers’ Village,” towards the south keeps small scale production in the area, and a new civic building enlivens the Pond Park.
We tried to establish a district identity, control runoff, and make Gateway walkable and bikeable to get people out of their cars. Space under the freeway-side park would be dedicated to district heating and hot water, while extensive tree planting improves air quality and provides wildlife habitat.

Eddy Park Detail Plan Pond Park Detail Plan
Phase 1 (Present - 10 years)Establish new zoning, FAR, and street sections. Establish and new ROW’s and work to acquire properties needed to complete street development. Develop catalytic park spaces.
Phase 2 (10 - 25 years)Establish Maker’s Village. Incentivize initial development at arterial intersections and surrounding new parks. Implement new street section on 102nd Avenue.
Phase 3 (25 - 50 years)Develop neighborhood parks. Incentivize development along newly-improved regional arterial boulevards and update to proposed sections.
Phase 4 (50+ years)Complete street connections and improvements. Develop mid-block residential infill. Dissolve ‘sleeping giant’ big box stores into smaller parcels.
