This portfolio is representative of why I can not set architecture down.

It is not solely the establishment of a design solution that generates my centrip-

etal relationship to architecture. It is rather the opportunities for growth and

exploration that each design problem offers.

Each entry in this portfolio is identified by the predominant opportunity it

presented me.

An expansive master plan for redevelopment of the Parisian suburb of LaCorneuve

created a framework by which a housing development could be inserted. Organi-

zational principles from the master plan were distilled down to the scale of the

housing for mediating the functions of the house, and the construction process

was distilled down to a kit-of-parts for economizing the execution of the master

plan.

In the master planning phase the area defined by:

was designated for conversion into a storm water

remediation landscape. The insertion of housing into

this landscape was also prescribed, with the initial

idea that the scale of it would be comparable to that of

the housing stock to the west.

In the

development of the

individual housing project, the theme

of "bands" that was used in the master plan

was utilized as an organizational mechanism

in mediating the housing elements: circulation

(pedestrian and infrastructural), vertical

circulation, service areas, living space,

terrace.

My year as a student at Archeworks culminated with the presentation of a team

developed design proposal for enhancing the Green Youth Farm at Dyett High

School in Washington Park, Chicago...

However, several team members, including myself, resolved to extend the

working realtionship with the Green Youth Farm beyond the end of the Archeworks

term to refine and make the proposal.

Involvement in my first project in an architecture and engineering firm began with

the project already in the design development phase. My responsibility as the

primary architectural staffer on the project continued through construction admin-

istration, revealing, among many things, the relational complexity of all involved

in executing a building.

Preliminary analysis and illustration of the context surrounding this theater project

in the 18th Arrondisement of Paris identified several key themes. Development of

a design solution was directly inferred, often in a quite literal manner, from those

analytical illustrations.
