EXPERIENCE

A PLACE FOR RESTORATION

SPRING 2013

ALL AUTOMOBILES ORIGINATE AS LARGE

BLOCKS OF CLAY, CARVED AWAY FROM, ADDED TO, MOULDED AND MORPHED UNTIL

THOUGHT PURE AND IDEAL. THE

CRAFTSMAN’S HEART AND SOUL EVIDENT

IN EVERY WELL CONSIDERED LINE

AUTOMOBILE RESTORATION IS THE REVIVAL OF THE CAR, BRINGING THE HAND OF THE CRAFTSMAN BACK TO THE CAR,

ALLOWING FOR THE RESTORER TO INVEST THEMSELVES IN THE MANIFESTATION OF

A ONE OF A KIND AUTOMOBILE, MUCH LIKE THE ORIGINAL

SCULPTOR.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT

WAS TO DESIGN AN ARCHITECTURE FOR THE PATIENT CRAFT

OF AUTOMOBILE RESTORATION. TO

TAKE A HUMBLE ARCHITECTURE

SUCH AS THE PRE-FABRICATED POLE

BUILDING AS A KIT OF PARTS, MUCH LIKE THE AUTOMOBILE, AND CRAFT THE

MODEST MATERIALS TO CONSTRUCT

AN ARCHITECTURE MORE SPECIFIED TO CAR RESTORATION

A STUDY IN CRAFT

SPRING 2012

A SEMESTER WAS SPENT STUDYING

THE CRAFT OF GLASS CASTING

ALL OF THE CASTINGS WERE MADE OF

RECYCLED GLASS, FROM CANDLE

HOLDERS TO BROKEN WINDOWS

MOULDS WERE MADE OF REFRACTORY

CONCRETE, BRICKS, STEEL, AND STRIPS

OF KILN SHELF

A SINGLE CASTING TOOK ANYWHERE

FROM 48 TO 64 HOURS

THE FINAL PRODUCT WAS A STOOL

THE SURFACE IS A 16 x16 x 0.75 CAST

GLASS SHEET MADE FROM GLASS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY A COMPUTER TABLE.

THE BASE IS MADE FROM A SINGLE 4 x 8 SHEET OF HALF INCH FURNITURE GRADE

PLYWOOD, CRAFTED TO ALLOW THE GLASS

TO BE LIT FROM BELOW AS WELL

AS ALLOWING THE REFLECTED LIGHT

TO ILLUMINATE THE FLOOR

NOTES:This firing schedule was a further refinement of the previous. This casting was 20 pounds of tempered glass, previously a glass countertop which had shattered.. The glass was cleaned and melted down to make a square sheet, the mould was made of strips of kiln shelf lined with a refractory paste and supported by bricks

GEORGETOWNWATER TAXI

SPRING 2012

THE GEORGETOWN WATER TAXI IS

LOCATED ON THE POTOMAC IN THE

GEORGETOWN WATERFRONT PARK

THE STATION EXTENDS INTO THE

WATER THE BUILDING SPLIT TO SUPPORT

A PUBLIC PLATFORM FLOATING ABOVE THE

WATER.A WATER BREAK IS CREATED BY

THE SPLIT MASS.THE BUILDING

PENETRATES THE CONCRETE RIVER WALL AND ALLOWS

THE PUBLIC TO ACCESS THE RIVERTHROUGH A BOAT

RAMP

THE WATER TAXI DOCKS UNDER

THE SUSPENDED PLATFORM.

THE END OF THE PUBLIC PLATFORM

LOWERS THE PASSENGERS TO THE

WATER ALLOWING THEM TO LOAD ONTO

THE WATER TAXI FROM THE RIVER.

submergedserra

SPRING 2011

SUBMERGED SERRA IS AN ART GALLERY

DESIGNED FOR THREE RICHARD

SERRA SCULPTURES.

DUE TO THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SITE AND THE SIZE OF

THE PROGRAM THE BUILDING IS SUNKEN INTO THE GROUND, THIS PRESERVES

THE VIEWS OF THE SURROUNDING

BUILDINGS WHICH ALL FACE THE GIVEN SITE,

AND ALSO ALLOWS FOR PARKING TO

TAKE PLACE ON THE ROOF.

THE BUILDING EMERGES FROM THE SITE, A PURE FROSTED GLASS

FORM BY DAY AND A GLOWING BEACON BY

NIGHT

A PLACE FOR RESTORATION

SPRING 2013

“PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON QUESTION PEOPLE ASK ABOUT

CRAFT IS HOW IT DIFFERS FROM ART

...

CRAFTSMANSHIP EXTENDS TO ALL

SORTS OF LABORS. IN TERMS OF

PRACTICE, THERE IS NO ART WITHOUT

CRAFT;

THE IDEA FOR A PAINTING IS NOT A

PAINTING.”

-Richard SennetTHE CRAFTSMAN
