The Sharon Fieldhouse sits on a hillside defined by a series of terraced baseball fields. It marks the land as a linear incision that cuts across the site and serves as the primary axis of pedestrian circulation. The building is fissured into three pieces to allow the site’s circulation to weave it’s way in and around the occupied spaces.
The entrance to the Fieldhouse is an arrangement of massive concrete steps, serving as a playful procession and an informal gathering space. Spaces within the incision are delineated by vertical steel screens that fan out and range in density to create varying levels of intimacy. White laminated glass bathes the interior spaces with even natural light. In the central pavillion the openness of the screens allows breezes to pass through and frames views to the field and surrounding mountains.
The Fieldhouse was concieved and realized by a team of 15 students through collaboration with community members, local crafstmen and industry experts.

The Pilsen Material Recovery Facility is a space for the gathering, sorting, and distribution of recyclables, as well as an arena for education.
Human spaces fill the voids in the material recovery process, weaving human with mechanical. Distinct layers allow workers, visitors, and passersby to visually connect with the material recovery process.
The North facade slopes down to transition from industrial to human scale as it approaches the border between the residential neighborhood of Pilsen and the Industrial Corridor.
The project also involved a greater analysis of opportunities for growth and connection through the expansive but underutilized Pilsen Industrial Corridor.
