What do I want to discover? I would like to investigate existing building stock in industrial or post-industrial neighborhoods and discover the potential for adaptation and reprogramming. More specifically I would like to focus on methods and means of production and how these man made systems can potentially be linked to natural, pre-existing systems. What […]

This studio challenges students to look at how nature can inform architecture from micro scale to the macro scale. We will look at how built form and nature can come together in architecture through the program, the site ecology and material studies. Study how to interweave ecosystems and urban architecture. Find architectural possibilities in material […] Through the exploration of the connectivity between nature and architecture I aim to discover how to bring awareness of climate and social problems to the myriad of subcultures living in the Southeast district of Portland. My intention for this project is to reuse an existing site in the Southeast Industrial District. The old Templeton building […] This is the first conceptual effort in order to come up with an program and Site. I had some interest towards harmonizing Industrial processes and systems to natural systems in order to generate robustness in our highly-technological society. I’m not c… […] Work from first day of class – preliminary thoughts…. I’ve officially been trying to write his post for five days now.

While the first site was a tad more urban in nature, this site is obviously much larger. What all the space would be used for, I don’t know yet. The same things attract me to this site as the first one. […] […] So having read the introduction and main goals with the Thesis, I’ve picked out two sites. Both are from my hometown of Milwaukee, WI. While I’m attending school in Portland, Oregon, it is still important to choose a site which I feel strongly about and have some connections with. I know the area quite well, […] […] This coming fall I will begin preparing for my thesis, which will officially start in January. Beforehand it is important to understand what issue I want to address. By taking two years off (working) before starting my graduate studies, I’ve had time to reflect upon what my interests are. Broad topics such as science, botany, […] […] |
