I approach the design of anything as a problem that has an answer. For me, the goal of any good designer is to analyze the problem from every angle. Then, by a math-ematical, and often intuitive, process can a right answer be formed. While architecture is a noble art and an aca-demic pursuit, I also believe that it is our responsibility to improve society through the design and functionality of our projects, large and small.
My designs have always attempted to challenge myself and the potential users to imagine a world where func-tion and form blend seamlessly; Classical and modern meet.

Chicago Opera House
The form of the building is loosely derived from the image of a boat hull slicing through water (the site). Abstracted, the building also hints at the aesthetic of the classic viennese operas on the back only to break convention as it grows away from the city toward the Chicago River. this form is then wrapped in a to give the underside of the “hull” a contrast. A top floor restaurant is given to the patrons with views of the downtown skyline, the sprawling plaza and of course, the river.

Within the grey exterior sits the red face of the auditorium. Seating over 2400, it would be the largest opera audience in the city. Great care was taken to ensure there are no bad seats. Having 4 balconies allows the audience to sit closer while the walls and cielings have been designed to project vocals.

Evident in the plans is the way the building changes from strictly regimented in the back of the house to accomodate services directly related to production of theatrical performances to a more loose, organic inter-face for the patrons. Service opportunities are accessable from nearly every floor granting an easy hike for a snack or a drink between acts. The back of house is supplied by the extension of an existing drive. VIP parking enters here as well.

Marvin Hall Addition
Sitting on one of the tallest points in Kansas, the Addi-tion to the School of Architecture and Design acts as a meeting place for art and architecture students to learn from each other. Replacing a parking lot and a small, student built architecture building, the new building shines on the exterior as a symbol of success and cutting edge design, while the interior of the courtyard is much more intimate and uses traditional materials. The exte-rior curve is reflected by a hallway which connects the two buildings. Circulation was of critical importance so an entrance was placed at the bottom of the hill to allow for accessability.

Replacing a smaller building and parking lot outside the recently combined Architecture building and Art and Design on the University of Kansas, the addition lies just off the main campus road minimizing its impact on the traditional campus aesthetic. The windy southern side offers views to areas miles outside Lawrence. A court-yard within preserves exhisting circulation corridors.

Interior corridors are wide and multifunctional. Meant to foster a partnership and a sense of community, these spaces allow for casual passers by to mingle with each other and students and let them discover artwork as it is presented. There are couches along the southern wall which allow for a comfortable take a break from the rig-ors of studio. The studios themselves are left fairly plain so as not to distract the creative process. upper level studios have skylights while all of them are also fed with a northern window offering indirect light.

The curved double skin to the south is designed to al-low for increased airflow over the roof which, by using operable windows, draws air into the space cooling the building naturally. A green roof and gardens insulate every studio keeping them warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Echoing the concept of the building, the plans have the same curve on the exterior and a recti-linear façade within the courtyard. Evident here is also the amount of gal-lery/pinup space available to the students. It is in this space that social events, exhibitions, and a gener-ally relaxed environment can occur.

Kansas City Flow
Flow began as a wind, water study around the West Bottoms district in Kansas City. Due to the area’s unique geographical features I decided that a mimicry of the river’s flow would lend significance to an otherwise trivial shape, one which was meant to illicit feelings of movement. As you walk past the completed structure a moray effect seems to bring the structure to life. The wooden supports dance while the city behind it moves at its own pace.
This project was my first with an actual client. It was also my first group project. Both taught me a lot about work-ing alongside others and have fun doing so.

The pavilion is sited right next to the levee on the Kansas River on a site that has a nearly constant breeze. This combina-tion of flowing wind and water was the basis for my building’s shape which is meant to give the feeling of motion. The plan and section reflect the “Y” shape of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers intersecting.

Skolkovo Technopark
Valode et Pistre Architectes
The Technopark in Skolkovo is a work in progress. The sur-rounding areas are being developed by Herzog + DeMeu-ron, Sanaa, OMA and others.
The 130,000m² Laboratory complex is meant to be the epicenter of Russia’s new “Silicone Valley.” Nearby neigh-borhoods are also in the works to house employees of the Technopark. The design is essentially 6 fingers run-ning parallel to each other and connected by bridges. My role on the project was to assist in the development of exterior façades and roof as well as scheduling the district.
