BackgrounD
With the ever growing cost of operating and maintaining a building, the problem was presented to design a worship facility to be located in the greater chicago metropolitan area that could be utilized by both the christian and Jewish faiths. the facility would be designed in a series of two phases. Phase one would be centered around the worship experience while phase two would be centered around a community aspect.

ProJect BrieF
aPProachthe main entry for the building was designed to be very open and welcoming to the community. this was done through the use of a large glass entryway and took advantage of its location on a prominent street corner. upon entering, one was met with a sequence of spaces located off of a large atrium space. these sequence of spaces were meant to signify the important aspects of the building that included a sanctuary for worship, an outdoor courtyard for self reflection, and a gymnasium for community growth. Altogether, the facility strives to help strengthen the community.
oBJectives
- To create a building that would both benefit the Jewish and christian groups as well as the members of the community.
- to successfully utilize natural daylighting techniques.
- to create multiple open spaces to encourage interaction between users.
site selection
After a detailed study of the greater chicago area, the conclusion was made to use the northern suburb of Evanston as the location for the proposed building. Evanston was chosen based on its high number of transit options including the ctA Purple line, the Metra Union Pacific North Line, the CTA Bus system, and numerous bike and pedestrian routes. the site was also selected for its racial diversity which was perceived to be a possible advantage for a multi-faith facility.

oak Park urban Market | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 8
BackgrounD
situated in the densely populated suburb of chicago, the proposed public market would serve as a nice addition to the Oak Park community and would include space for an interior and exterior market as well as a community gathering and banquet space.

ProJect BrieF
aPProach
The curved nature of the market was designed for the purpose of creating a connection to an ally located in the southeast corner of the building. this ally is a connector to many shops and other forms of retail while also connecting to a main thoroughfare and rail transit. the main structure of the market as well as the banquet room was designed to appear as if they were protruding out into the park. this was done in order to establish a stronger connection with the adjacent park.
oBJectives
- To create a space that has a very understandable sequence of circulation.
- to incorporate and connect to the walkable alleys and paths in order to bring in more potential customers.
- to create a year-round “open-air” atmosphere for the indoor market.
- To allow for views of the park and surrounding green space.

site inFormation
the site for the proposed market is situated along Lake St. just west of Oak Park Ave. it is bordered on both sides by residential buildings while the public library and a small park are located across the street. With the location set in such a highly pedestrian used area, the thought was that the market could be used as a connector between the park and the other pedestrian areas.

BackgrounD
located just south of the heart of downtown crystal lake, il and employing a large number of blind and non-sighted individuals, Horizons for the Blind was designed to house the offices and production spaces needed for the company that specializes in the printing of service bills and other such documents in braille form. Along with the production and administration needs, there also existed a vision to create a community-oriented aspect that would bring awareness to the work and vision of Horizons for the Blind.

ProJect BrieF
aPProach
A large, multi-level atrium was designed in order to create an open space that could act as both an entrance/reception area as well as a buffer between the public and private spaces of the building. this element created a two-winged approach that held a majority of the production and administration functions to one wing of the building and the community spaces to the other. this was done to help with the circulation of the facility as well as to allow for minimal disturbance for employees while still having the capacity to allow members of the community to use the designated spaces.
oBJectives
- design a facility that both allows for the public to become familiar with Horizons for the Blind while also enhancing the surrounding downtown area of crystal lake - create a comfortable and functional work area for employees- Allow for the public and private areas to be easily distinguished

ProJect synaPsis
the project began by painting two squares that reflected a certain historical art movement. these paintings were then subsequently translated into a three dimensional model which focused on creating spacial qualities. each cube in the model corresponds to a painting.

the wall project consisted of translating a painted board into a three dimensional model that expressed spatial qualities. The De Stijl movement was used as precedent for the painting and subsequent model.
