Hello, Thank you for your consideration of my portfolio. What is included here is a brief sample of my work and my interests in the field of architecture. I hold a professional, five year Bachelors of Architecture from the United States and a Masters of Sustainable Architectural Studies from the University of Sheffield, one of the most socially aware architecture schools in Europe. My architectural interests lie in sustainability, more so, the triple bottom line of sustainability. While my formal education and interests are in conceptual and environmental design, my passions lie in social sustainability and how architecture can influence society. I have been labeled an idealist, polemist, and an utopian dreamer, but I have an opinion that architecture can have the most positive influence on society by shaping the built environment to better fit everyone fairly.
I know I will be a valued member of any design or research team. Focused, adaptive, considered, purposeful, and dedicated are words that have been used to describe my work ethic. I am a diligent team member and have proven to be a leader in my previous education and experience. I understand the importance of quality and always strive to out-do expectations.
I have experience in teaching others, usually peers or entry level students, sustainable techniques with a strong emphasis on passive design and social sustainability. Collaboration is at the heart of my personal experiences as architecture is rarely done well in isolation. My goals are to work in a socially conscious setting and design spaces that contribute to the overall health of the surrounding population. It is my ultimate goal to be a respected designer and professional, with a strong reputation for careful and responsible design.
Thank You,
Eric

The task was to create a narrative future climate possibiltiy, and how architecture could adapt to fill this need.
This study is conducted on the worsening drought conditions in the United States and the possibility of collecting
ancient water supplies. The concept is a macro scale condenser, similar to how survivalists attain water by means
of evaporation. At this scale the evaporation could reach low depths and condense the untapped water sources
beneath dried lakes.
The process uses the abundant
desert heat and highly reflective
surface to draw moisture to the
surface. Ancient water suplies can
be harnessed and supply water to
dwindling communities. By bringing
water back to the surface, nutrients
are deposited in the soil allowing
drought vegetation to return to the
martian-like landscape. Proving
water and a hospitable location for
an adaptable human occupation.

Trent BankIsover® Student Competition Entry
with Jordan Lloyd and Chris Matthews[With special thanks to Alastair Parvin and Architecture 00:/]
January 2012
The design of a sustainable
community within the Trent Basin
area of Nottingham, UK with
the objective to explore a new
paradigm of sustainable post-
industrial regeneration. Isover, St.
Gobain
The Nottingham Trent river basin was chosen as the competition site, with competitors looking at ways to “explore
a new paradigm of sustainable post-industrial regeneration. The focus of the project is the development of a
sustainable neighborhood, providing accommodation for 12-15 families plus essential services to ensure an
effective work-life balance.” This design develops a scheme that employs a fundamentally different development
mechanism for house building.
The Trent Bank proposal is a design-led framework that centres on self-provision as a sustainable development
and procurement model for new neighborhoods. It proposes that the first move should be to convert an existing
riverside depot into a self-build factory/academy. The community factory then becomes the engine which equips
a community of ordinary people to procure and build their own user-made neighborhood, which can be more
affordable, more sustainable and more suited to their needs than a market-led development.
Public space surrounding homes should be used by Nottingham
A large community of narrow boat owners can moor in the inlet, supported by large public uses.

Standing Among StarsStudent Competition Entry
with Anton Bashkaev and Chihiro Endo
May 2012
Design for a hotel and observatory
located in Rovaniemi, Finland with
the aim to celebrate the Aurora
Borealis and the beauty of the
night sky.
Based on the folklore of falling stars, this design gives the visitors the experience of being in a galaxy on Earth.
Large spheres are dotted across the landscape as if the Sagittarius constellation had plummeted to the ground,
they raise the visitors up to the level of the heavens and offer panoramic views of uninhibited nature. Furthering
the primal, natural atmosphere of the design, the towers are used differently, based on storytelling tradition;
there are areas for storytelling around a fire, places to survey nature and it’s wonders, an area to be taught and
entertained by nature, and areas where the speculation of the stars can be made. The surface of these man-made
stars are mirrored and screened, thus reflecting upon nature from below while broadcasting nature to the greater
population across the river. The hotel rooms are located down the hill and offer shared viewing and gathering
towers above. Sunken into the hillside, the main functions of the design, including the hotel and spa, disappear
from sight and leave nature largely unspoiled. This site allows the visitors to experience atmospheres once only
reserved to mythical gods, living among the stars.

Birmingham HotelUniversity Design Project
University of Sheffield
May 2012
To design an ‘eco-hotel’ for
Birmingham, UK. Using a plot
of land adjacent to John Madin’s
Central Library, currently occupied
by a corporate hotel.

SAVE AN ICON:CulturAl SIgnIFICAnCe
The project called for a new hotel in Birmingham, UK. The site is located on an existing hotel plot next to the old
Central Library, slated for demolition once the new library is finished. The City Council is proposing an area of
“Mixed-Use Business Development,” meaning private property only open 9-5, five days a week. However, instead
of offering a new hotel, why not re-purpose the doomed Central Library? The Brutalist icon of the city has had a
rocky past and is one of only a few remaining buildings left standing of John Madin. By adaptively re-using the old
library, an icon of the city remains and is made more public than ever before, adding immense use value to the city.

Transit StationUniversity Design ProjectFlorida Atlantic University
December 2010
MITIGATION:bIOSWAleS blAnket the SIte.
PASSIVE PLANNING:WIng WAll DIreCtS WInD IntO PublIC SPACe
To design a prototypical transit hub alongside the requirements provided by the Broward Metropolitain Planning
Organization. This design wishes to mitigate the excessive runnoff created by the vast networks of highways by
covering the site in bio-swales. The design is meant to be largely passively ventilated and arranged in plan to
enhance the amount of wind available.
The way in which the plan is arranged is so the prevailiing
winds of South Florida can be easily directed into the main
public areas of the building. The large Western wing wall
collects the wind and channels it into the space. The
upper floor walkway creates a smaller exit for the wind,
thus creating a zone of higher pressure and increases the
wind-speed.
DETAIL:
Main waiting area is flooded with light and passive ventilation.
Restaurant roofing system filters and reflects in-direct daylight in abundance.

Professor HousingUniversity Design ProjectFlorida Atlantic University
May 2008
Tasked with creating housing for a temporary professor at FAU, this design situates the professor directly into the
social heart of the campus, the Breezeway. Raised above the site, and accessed from the un-used rooftop walkway,
this design injects uses along the vacant corridor. As this design is for a transient professor, the structure is also
temporary and modular. The interior space is arranged in order to save space and appear taller than it actually is.
