CHICAGOC H I L D R E N ’ S HOSPITALCirculation plays a major part in the way that we live our lives. It can in uence the people with whom we interact. Circulation can also provide a direct route for some and a meandering route for others. Printer’s Row has a history of having 2 means of circulation: a series of tunnels that was used to quickly transport printing supplies to the various industries involved in the print making process and the traf� c above. Likewise, the Printer’s Row Children’s Hospital has 2 means of circulating: elevators and stairs that quickly link each oor, and a series of bridges that connect family spaces around the courtyard.

Throughout the Chicago Children’s Hospital there
are several family spaces. These family spaces
are connected and intended to create a network
so that families can support and encourage one
another throughout the hospital. In elevation,
the family spaces and the connecting spaces are
transparent to indicate the public nature of those
spaces, while the individual patient rooms are
covered with a screen.

The Huntsville Farmer’s Market
was a project that was designed in
response to the Huntsville “Bright
Idea’s” Campaign to improve
the city. The farmer’s market
makes use of existing conditions
on a government owned lot and
provides a space in downtown
Huntsville that allows locals to
gather together.

Double digging is another process that was researched and implemented at the Rural Studio Farm. Double digging loosens the soil, which promotes deeper root growth. Because the roots grow deeper and not wider, biointensive planting can be utilized.

March JulyIn order to accommodate the exitarian diet adopted by the Rural Studio, careful planning was done to ensure that fresh produce could be harvested during the school year. The light green letters indicate the planting of a vegetable. The dark green letters indicate that a plant is growing. Finally, the orange letters indicate that a vegetable is being harvested. Plants are arranged in response to sustainable planting strategies such as crop rotation and companion planting in order to maximize production.

Although or studio designed a greenhouse, it was also important to show that the greenhouse was part of a larger system. The Rural Studio Farm Cycle was developed to show the client the closed loop, sustainable system our studio was implementing.
Double digging is another process that was researched and implemented at the Rural Studio Farm. Double digging loosens the soil, which promotes deeper root growth. Because the roots grow deeper and not wider, biointensive planting can be utilized.
Traditional planting is usually done in wide rows that waste space. Instead, planting biointensively allows maximum production. It also minimizes the amount of sunlight exposure on the ground, which reduces the amount of water needed.
One crucial part of the Rural Studio Farm Cycle is planting seeds in pots inside the seedhouse. Once the plants begin to grow, they get transplanted in the greenhouse or outside. Transplanting allows the root system to develop so that the plant is as healthy as possible when it moves outside or to the greenhouse.

The Davis Sustainability Center is
the redesign of the Davis Center
in Birmingham, Alabama. The
Davis Sustainability Center is
located in the heart of the Lakeview
District of Birmingham. Therefore,
the intention of its design is to
be the place where sustainable
practices such as urban farming
and recycling are modeled for the
community and to be the epicenter
of the sustainable changes in the
neighborhood. The redesign of
the Davis Center includes four
translucent towers that at night
emit light as if they were beacons
saying: “This is where it all began”.

The objective of the Case
Study House Project was
to look at the Case Study
houses that were designed
in the late 40’s to early
60’s. After examination
of Thornton Abell’s CSH
no.7, I redesigned two
mid-century homes that
incorporated design
principles learned from
observation of Case Study
House no.7.

Sliding partitions divide the living space and the study room. The partitions may be opened for a larger living space or can be closed when a quiet study session is needed.

The design for the Arboretum
Education Center is an
architectural interpretation of a tree
canopy. The structure of the Davis
Arboretum is gluelam construction
and consists of columns that
branch out and connect with
one another. The structure is
designed to harvest water at the
roof level and hold it in cisterns
below. Programmatic elements of
the Arboretum Education Center
include classrooms, of� ce space,
and gallery spaces.

The Lake Martin Residence was
designed so that a hierarchy
of spaces was created as one
experiences the home. The
idea is that one enters into the
most public space and slowly
transitions to the most private
parts of the house. The angled
planes that create the form of
the house celebrate the sloped
aspect of the site by seeming
to keep the entire house from
sliding down the hill
