PROFESSIONAL WORKHBX STAFF SPACEHARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL, CAMBRIDGE MA
A new curricular initiative by Harvard Business School required a quick fi t-out of an older building on campus. The project was done in (3) phases, changed contractors mid-construction while all working under a strict budget. The project entailed various user meetings to go over fi nish options, anticipated user needs, and scope expansions due to quicker than anticipated hiring by HBS.

The Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame is undergoing a phased process to contemporize their interior. We composed a Master Planning document for them helping to explain and visualize the phased process which includes removing collection over time, providing more public seating, and creating a more intuitive zoning scheme that helps in breaking down the massive scale of the fl oorplates.

PROFESSIONAL WORKCORNELL UNIVERSITY - eHUBITHACA, NY
Cornell University has started exploring spaces on campus and their hometown of Ithaca to support their Entrepreneurship@Cornell network (E@C. These hubs will help support and drive Cornell’s existing entrepreneurial network by providing spaces, tools and mentorship to articulate ideas and build prototypes for real-world application.
Program components consist of fl exible workspaces, classrooms, group study rooms, hang-out spaces and support staff offi ces.

Architecture provides a way of conceptualizing and constructing on the basis of a combinatorial of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined, while leaving room for any and all assemblies by outside parties in particular ways that could not have been foreseen.

STUDENT WORKDEGREE PROJECTRHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN
In order to share conceptual ideas we manifest constructions that attempt to best represent the purest form of our original concept. But within this machine of construction, losses occur and hinder perfect translation for others. Even our own memories suff er unavoidable losses, for every recollection / re-collection of a memory initiates a completely new construct of the past moment (and therefore a less pure construct), with the gaps fi lled by fi ctions we have acquired over our own continuing experiences.
How then can architecture, as a construction, deal with loss; loss of memory, loss of concept, loss of life?
