This studio project focused on a historic factory town just east of downtown Atlanta. Working with a partner,I established a form-based code for a prominent stretch of the district. Then, working alone, I developedthis architectural actuation of that code that would house a neighborhood interpretive center and multifamilyhousing. my proposal juxtaposes normative/rational architectural strategies (such as the steel frame) withvernacular forms and site-specific conditions (such as the pitched roof motif and previous building footprints).

Working at the Guangdong Urban Planning and Design Institute, I was the lead designer for this initiativeto cohere five buildings along Guangzhous most important shopping street with a pedestrian shoppingbridge and contextual landscape design. The pattern across the bridges facade and plazas expansesis directly informed by the intricate, ancient urban fabric just east of the site. Materials would bemostly vernacular and, whenever possible, recovered from nearby villages contemporaneously undergoingdemolition. I presented this project to a series of high-ranking government officials and won their approval.

Using a Revit-based integrated design process, my 4-student team proposed a resturcturing of the healthcare deliverysystem both architecturally and systemically. GIS analysis informed a new, state-wide network of flexibly modularizedfacilities hierachically sized in proportion with both population density and demographic demand. Replacingpatient treatment with the notion of community wellness, we added programmatic dimensions such as recreation,social services, economic development, and town planning to encompass a more holistic definition of healthcare.

Stationed around the world, from Atlanta to Shanghai, from the Gulf to the Berkshires to the Atlantic, Team Rodewaytransforms the 48-hour competition into an international, round-the-clock game of telephone. Dividing the allottedtime into five shifts, the team spread production responsibility across space and time: each team member was allocateda drawing type and a position along the temporal chain. The first team member reads the brief and responds,emailing the resulting drawing to the next worker at the end of the shift. The second worker considers thefirst workers image as it responds to the brief and tries to develop any intuited conceptual threads inhis own piece. The third worker only sees the brief and the second workers contribution, nothing more, andso on. Like a game of telephone, the project takes shape by passing fragments from one player to the next,presumably losing information along the way but undoubtedly accumulating spontaneity in return. Laid outbeforehand to ensure objectivity, the final presentation board is mechanically assembled and submitted.

Atlantas main public library is a controversially brutalist Marcel Breuer monolith downtown. In 2009, agroup of 3 fellow architecture students and I entered this 48-hour design competition to enliven and/or re-imagine the buildings hard and desolate exterior entrance plaza. We proposed turning the library inside-out: the plaza would seep into the building and the librarys contents would scatter across the landscape.The library would transform from a sealed material archive to a pourous, virtual hotspot. WiFi kioskswould pepper the city, extending municipal internet access to districts otherwise distant from the place.
PLAZA SERVES NEW MEDIA IN AND OUT OF DOORS. A dynamic amalgamation of internal and external publicconfluences, the new media court promotes an off-the-shelf future of wireless interactivity. Animate displaypanels populate the interior portico as kiosks, projections, and other multimedia installations stimulate theexterior. The library becomes a disseminator of information, experience, and social momentum; the conjuredgestalt electrifies the district in ways few Brutalists could handle.

YESTERDAYS MONUMENT DICED INTO ICON-O-LOUNGERS FOR THE PEOPLE. The age of the outsized architecturalmonolith has given way to an era of useful public goods. The huge signpost of yore has been segmented andstrewn across the public landscape in bite-sized pieces of monumental democracy.
LIBRARY SPILLS OUT INTO PLAZA. Even as books fade into obsolescence, libraries remain vibrant social centers.Though today most information-activity happens wirelessly on private computers, people prefer the companyof others. The library must continue to meet this need by extending its presently internalized sanctuaryout into the sun. The front plaza smoothes into a congregational surface, extends into the buildings firstfloor, and pops out the other side. Media panels, projections, and icon-o-loungers populate an enlivened sitethat, within an invisible Wi-Fi cloud, provide the plugged-in public a place to meet and gather.

BRANCH KIOSKS PEPPER LANDSCAPE. As the librarytrades bookshelves for computer terminals, theinstitutions role in society shifts from arepository of printed information to an accesspoint to the digital world. The library fragmentsinto geographically scattered outpost-hotspots thatinject computers and wireless internet directlyinto communities at the neighborhood level.

BENCH SIGNS EMERGE FROM SNAKINGTUBULARITY. Indulging Marcel Breuerspenchant for bent stainless pipe, thesprawling plaza is embossed insideand out by a ribbon of metal tubingthat repeatedly breaches the groundplane to pen the librarys initialsand simultaneously establish anergonomically elevated surface uponwhich to sit - a bench.

Tasked to rethink the CMU, my team wanted to adjust the conventional concrete block in the simplest way possibleto most dramatically expand its formal capabilities. We generated a family of incrementally tapered blocks that,when aggregated in various ways, vastly advances the CMUs architectural possibilities. Importantly, the TaperBlocks fabrication process is the same as a conventional block - save from requiring a slightly different mold.Our project won first prize at the National Concrete Masonry Associations 2009 trade convention in Chicago.
