WINTER 2015
2015WINTER STUDIOSitting at the southern edge of the
University of Oregon campus in Eugene, the Suzuki Community Music Institute serves as the home a children’s music
school, but is also used by the University’s School of Music. The centerpiece of the school is a spiraling copper-clad recital
hall that serves as a visual beacon for the campus. The eccentricity of the recital hall
is balanced by a rational brick bar that houses the classrooms and presents a
more traditional facade to its off-campus neighbors to the south.

Set in the Industrial Preserve of southeast Portland, this maker space houses a collection of
small business from Portland’s growing bike industry. Maker space overlaps with ground
fl oor retail and a public cafe to foster a connection between
makers and the public.

For a roof patio on my Makerspace project, I developed a parametric sun shading device using Grasshopper. The awning is composed of an array
of bike gears with apertures that vary in size to create an incremental shade gradient.

Employed on the building, the awning provides extra shade at the outside edge of the patio where solar exposure is greatest,
while permitting more sun to reach the inside edge, which is shaded by the upper fl oors of
the building in the afternoon.
