Design is an opportunity to nurture existence. An allowance to form meaningful space in which life occurs.The awareness of opportunities to effect positive change for humanity is an element of maturity necessary in designers.

Architecture, as G.K. Chesterton has noted, is dangerous. It is the only art form that goes past living with and requires living in.Powerful preposition. Its existence calls for designers to go beyond the minimum and step out of the bounds of mediocrity. Beyond, to consider the people.

I order my designs by that responsibility.

This field is where my skills lie. Architectural design is an opportunity to enrich peoples’ lives. It provides guaranteed opportunities for meaningful teamwork with skilled individuals.

I have always been drawn to this intricate balance of ideation, artistic skill, pragmatics, and interpersonal communication.

The Physics Fairway is a response to the opportunity to work with a local Stillwater entity, the Wondertorium, and to answer the question, “What is the best way to teach children about physics... with golf balls?”Our project requirements were new in many ways. We had a tangible budget, real clients, a solid project delivery date, golf balls we were obliged to use, a large team to work in, a requirement to teach children about Physics intuitively, and the children’s safety to consider, in the most palpable manner.

We communicated the effects of friction, velocity, and force through a simple game. Different surface tensions and terrain are available on the track. Through experimentation, the children discover which conditions are best suited to speed, and therefore, to winning the race.

The Osage Indian are a strong culture and have a wonderful heritage. This project celebrates their past and their future.The site planning portion was a group effort with Christopher Huber.

Responding to the Osage heritage, an organic plan was formed. The paths, structures, and prominent outdoor spaces run NW along a natural depression in the land. They gradually rise with the terrain as myths and fact are shared along the way. The Discovery Center was an independent project. I was responding to the landscape’s dichotomy of open spaces and dense trees and the overwhelming sense of being held safely by the wooded areas. All displayed graphics are my own work.

The intersection of New Orleans and Chicago Street in Chicago, IL is an area ripe for development. Adjacency to the El, proximity to downtown, and a entrepreneurial spirit imbue the site with life.

Our goal was to create a transit oriented development for the area, applying the principles outlined in “The Life and Death of Great American Cities” by Jane Jacobs and in the many texts discussing New Urbanism.

A grid of steel framing hosts multiple components, mimicking natural urban development. A 2:1 unit ratio allows each unit to rotate with the grid. Units can be private and individual, affordable housing, or elderly cohousing neighborhoods.

Each neighborhood floor is organized to optimize views and sunlight into each unit and interior “streets.” .

Catwalks connect vertical circulation cores spanning the pedestrian alleyway.

Moving through the plaza, the train is enveloped in Media Mesh, displaying visual media for both the train and the plaza. Videos are programmed by the future community. The large panels support independent filmmakers and showcase Saturday morning cartoons.

“There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and be served.”

Jane Jacobs , The Life and Death of Great American Cities
