“Sensations of experience become a kind of reasoning distinct to the making of architecture. Whether refl ecting on the unity of concept and sensation, or the intertwining of idea and phenomenon, the hope is to unite intellect and feeling, precision with soul. “

Knox Residence

These are recent progress photos taken of a house I have designed for my parents, located in Sandwich, New Hampshire. This is phase one of an ongoing project - The barn-like structure has a year round apartment above a garage, which will ultimately be the guest house when phase II is complete. My involvement included the design of the barn, and I also worked for our contractor in building the foundation last August.

Environmental Graphics

Sign for Marketplace Facade

After showing the client several ready-made fonts, I proposed a more personal approach for the look of the market. Using sumi ink and a bambo pencil, ‘Thornes’ was written out until a font with the right look was achieved. The logo was then turned into a font using Illustra-tor, and will be used as the sign for the marketplace, as well as interior graphic wayfi nding and other forms of branding.

Web Layout and Brochure

A set of documents were created for the Tenant Design Criteria, intended for a website and brochure to attract potential new tenants to the marketplace.

Signs for Levels of Marketplace

Signs were created for the three fl oors, using a font which mimicks the hand-written one used for ‘Thornes.’

Text was used as the back-ground, serving a decorative and functional purpose of indicating the type of merchandise sold on each level.

Passage _ A Collaborative Installation for ‘Watch’_ Instructor Kyna Leski, Fall ‘03

Beginning with the word ‘watch’ our team of seven students with shared design responsibility realized a passsage using eight foot furring strips and bolts tocreate a moiré pattern . This provided the experience of having the view broken up into varying degrees. The installation was constructed in segments and assembled on site.

was also brougt further into the city.

With the relocation of Interstate 195, the historic Jewelry District will be reconnected with downtown Providence. The district’s waterfront location was an incentive for continuing the city grid to its edge by creating canals lined by student housing with an avenue of open park bisecting it. The river

The concept was to divide the complex into separate spaces for different functions, similar to a fac-tory. This was applied to create intimate interior and exterior courtyards for focusing on the works of art. There was also an experience of progression towards the increasingly enclosed, and arrival at the main performance hall where the view opens up of the river.

Through analysis of Giacometti’s bronze ‘City Square,’ an understanding of the ability for objects to guide and impel one through a space was gained. An interactive sculpture was designed to act as a brand for the promi-nent corner locations of the Boston Center for the Arts. Images are projected onto cast-glass panels which re-fract light, and shadows created as one moves through the space.

The sloped nature of the site allowed for an opportunity to address the horizon, visible in the distance. Given the program, the design specifi cally dealt with how a child’s view could be raised to that of adults, and thus provided with a heightened and unique experience of what it means to be in alignment with the horizon.

From the study of a leaf cell, a tectonic wire system was created based on the concept of a subsystem that operates within a larger framework. Because of the confi gura-tion of its joints, the interior has the ability to expand and contract, affecting the outer form. When several of these ‘cells’ are linked, they each impact the larger structure.

The proposal was to defi ne the edge of the North End with seven buildings that act as gatehouses to the neighborhood. The conditions for the sites vary, predominantly corner lots where the blocks were severed by the Interstate. All of the sites call for a need to maximize land. The buildings are intended as cultural centers, the connection to benefi t both those Downtown and the residents of the North End.
