THE REASON FOR THE COVER GRAPHIC

Portland Oregon was one of the reasons I chose to attend the Uni-

versity of Oregon. The Ideas that Portland represent, as a leader

among cities for future planning of every aspect that would make

a sustainable, green, natural and livable city, are one that I want to

incorporate into my career.

The graphic represent what I appreciate from Portland and what I

desire in my career as an architect.

The standard skyline represents my rst desire to become an

architect. Portland has been one of the United States leading cities

in green, sustainable buildings. Part of my education has been in

hands on construction and sustainable techniques. I want to en-

sure future projects are detailed to increase energy ef ciency and

built quality.

The re ection of the skyline on the water represent the effect

urbanism has had on the ecological health of the entire watershed.

I want to increase my understanding of the relationships between

ecological processes and urban development and form, as well as

how to apply these design and planning disciplines in my career.

The city map underlay represents my desire to incorporating my

design into the existing context of the site I am building on. It also

represents the planning ideas used by Portland to create an urban

stage for successful community that is close-knit, walkable, com-

mercially viable and leaves plenty of room for green and open

spaces.

Dedicated to one of Portlands most accomplished and respected

modern architects: John Yeon.

The primary objectives of the center is to bring understanding of

John Yeons legacy and to bring an awareness of important design

issues related to the architecture, the interior architecture and the

landscape architecture of the Northwest.

The center will have a major exhibition space, auditorium, meet-

ing rooms and other related facilities for the public and private resi-

dents. There is a library of John Yeon archive and a permanent

exhibition of John Yeons work. There is also a rotating art exhibition

as a venue for the public to view 20th century and contemporary art

of the Northwest.

The site for the John Yeon Center is located between Northwest

and Southwest Portland on Burnside Avenue. A challenging wedge

shaped site near Powells bookstore. Maintaining the faade of the

existing North Paci c Building, remodeling the interior and design-

ing an addition to the building.

APPROACH

The initial design approach was to solve the wedge-shape (Flat-

iron Building shape) site. I decided to make the additional building

a thin non intrusive rectangle along Burnside Avenue and dedicate

the remaining wedge shape to landscape. The interior of the exist-

ing building, including oor plates and structure, was removed and

all additional structure were glulam wood, to better emphasis the

Paci c Northwest.

The open interior houses required 150-seat auditorium, which is

made of offsetting rotated wood interior and copper exterior panels

with sound proo ng. The shape help de ect sound for improved

acoustic and creates an interesting shape from the lobby.

The existing building houses the public exhibit spaces and audi-

torium while the rectangle addition houses the private library and

residential units.

DESCRIPTION

The origin of this project was from my second of eight studios in

my undergraduate degree. The chapel was the center of a larger

complex of residential units designed for a community lead by

mother Teresa. One of the stipulations for the project was including

the use of several 20 feet squares, which I used two for the east

and west walls. Upon entering the chapel from the east the vesti-

bule is dim with small windows. The second door enters the nave

with differing levels of light, depending on the season and time of

day, coming from the south window and the west clerestory. The

section illustrates the desired light during the evening when light

would enter the clerestory washing the west wall with light.

Taking a passive heating and cooling class, I had the opportunity

to re-develop an existing project in order to apply passive tech-

niques. I had a desire to further develop the chapel and this was

an opportunity for that. The new site was in Boise, Idaho to adapt

for the change in the daily temperature in the climate.

The techniques for the chapel was to take advantage of high mass

of the building for storing heating and cooling during temperature

swings. Further consideration on the design aesthetic lead to the

addition of a cool tower also being used as a steeple. Different

phases of the course walked through calculating different tech-

niques to sizing the thermal mass, glazing amount, and size of the

cool tower for the square footage of the chapel.

DESCRIPTION

The Civic Center will be charged with educating the public on the

process and bene t of architectural design by providing key rooms

and spaces for educating. It is intended that the building itself will

exemplify architecture at its highest level of art and integration. Key

categories of the design will be revolving galleries, great rooms,

libraries and public meeting spaces. The site will be located on an

urban in ll site in Portland in the redeveloped Pearl District along

Interstate 405.

APPROACH

The strongest view from the site was west towards the West Hills

and Washington Park, however the raised interstate blocked much

of the views below 25 feet. The design idea was to create a hill-like

structure that was able to be climbed to views that reach over the

interstate and towards the hills and park.

The sustainable idea for the building is one where the building par-

ticipates in the water cycle in the environment. Using the space

under the cantilever oors a park and storm water reservoir pond

in created and the green roofs collects rain and can be utilized for

public space. The green roof also acts as a ramp creating the climb

to the top exhibit space and the views west. The building becomes

the landscape, able to slow the diversion of water straight into the

sewer, further helping the ecological health of the surrounding Wil-

lamette and Columbia Rivers.

The interior works to showcase the idea of prospect and refuge by

creating tuck-away and semi-enclosed spaces with in the open in-

terior. This provided the public with quieter spaces of differing sizes

to meet and still have a view of the surrounding, and to the exterior

of the building.

DESCRIPTION

Tasked with conceptualizing a set of strategic architectural opera-

tions, this project is meant to in uence future patterns of develop-

ment in Central Oregon.

The city of Bend is actively courting tech startups and entrepre-

neurs. Bend has positioned itself as a hub for just-in-time digital

manufacture and commerce. Design for this new wave of techno-

logical immigrants the program will involve micro-housing, working

spaces, shared facilities and more.

The site for the project is located along the urban edges of the

Deschutes River. This edge condition is the source of signi cant

controversy, about the possible futures of the city.

APPROACH

The approach to this design was different from what I was accus-

tom to. I started with a series of Photoshop collage of images and

quick 3-D models. This was to inspire the feeling for the project

before plans and sections were even thought of.

My further study in ecology, especially water ecology, lead the de-

sign of a building that functioned like a plant. Collecting solar power

with a photo-voltaic roof and raising the majority of the building,

sinking the ground to create a storm water retention pond and park

under the building.

The studio was meant to look forward in developing spaces of tech

start-up that could be adapted for unknown future possibilities. The

structure then become an open pod, allowing whole rooms and

oor plans to be plugged in and out depending on the needs of the

client. This created a exible, ever changing faade to the building

similar to the growth of a plant with new leaves of owers.
