Public education needs to change.It’s time to rethink our educational models.

We need a new model.A Catalyst for Future Learning, UNIfied: the Urban Nature Institute for the Future of Education

perched learning- [ a space for the daring ]

burrowed learning- [ a space for the introvert ]

open learning- [ a space for the community to soar ]

Conceptually, the Urban Nature Institute is organized as a cross-section of a forest, creating distinctive, habit-able spaces for individual students: burrowed spaces for the introvert, perched spaces for the daring, and open spaces for the community to soar.

A forest is layered by zones inhabited by unique forest creatures while operating as a whole. The forest is divided in this way to create distinctive, habitable spaces for a multitude of individual species. Although divided, the forest operates as a whole, each part dependent on the other. Primarily an alternative education facility for K-5 students, UNI is a community center focused on education for a multitude of individuals of all ages.

UNIfied: the Urban Nature Institute for the Future of Education is a catalyst for future learning. The Urban Nature Institute (UNI) is a redefinition of educational facilities utilizing the Reggio Emilia approach to education, the ultimate outdoor classroom of the Willamette River, and an emphasis on community to rethink the possibilities of educational facilities.

The Urban Nature Institute (UNI) is a curriculum-derived educational facility in the Interactive Learning District of Portland, Oregon focused on nurturing individual creativity at all ages.

Working within the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, the building itself becomes the guide for the students by containing spaces for individuals to thrive and collaborate.

The ground level provides space for the most public spaces within heavy, earth-like walls. The light-filled canopy level, wrapped in a foliage-like screen provides space for more secure, private spaces while maintaining connections to the ground level below through breaks in the ground plane. The most private emergent level breaks through the roof plane providing a space to observe the whole.

A Collaborative Urban Plan for the Interactive Learning District on the Willamette River in Portland, OR. The urban plan for the Interactive Learning District was a collaborative process by myself anf 4 other students. The projects incorporated in this urban plan are: A Portland Ecological Aquatic Center, Water Avenue Learning Commons, Urban Nature Institute (UNI), Waterfront Middle School, and the Willamette Boathouse and Recreation Center. We created an urban plan that provides foot, bike, boat, and automobile transportation paths as a cohesive urban gesture allowing the public to access the Willamette River, a strong desire by the community of Portland.

Conceptually, the Interactive Learning District will be connected by a series of lookouts and river access points. River access points are the most important locations along the Ne-Choco-Lee Trail. This emphasizes the need for citizen protection of the Willamette River paired with the celebration of the river.

Academic Projects - Cohousing Community Winter 2011, Mississippi Avenue, Portland, OR

Cohousing Community

Cohousing is a reaction to the community building in suburban areas, apartment buildings and condominiums. Cohousing is a mixture of shared spaces and personal spaces. How can this form a community?

Design Problem: a cohousing community with a common house, 15-30 flexible residences, and shared community spaces.

Design Objectives: 1. Create a community that has individual spaces yet symbolizes the collective. 2. Explore historic examples of communities such as the chinese courtyard house and roman housing as a symbol of shared spaces.3. Incorporate a progression of spaces from most public to most private as a symbol of the principles of cohousing.


siheyuan, a typical chinese courtyard house, commonly found in beijing

Concept Development : Inspired by a traditional Chinese courtyard house, the cohousing community is a progression of shared courtyard spaces. Each residence has the ability to open the main gathering space to become a part of the commu-nal courtyard or close to maintain individual privacy.

Academic Projects - Center for Circus ArtsSpring 2011, Downtown, Portland, OR

The Center for the Circus Arts : the climb to the big top

As a performance art, the circus arts has little recognition. When someone thinks about the circus arts, the majority would refer to lion tamers, clowns, and other traditional three-ring images. The Center for the Circus Arts is a program located in the center of Downtown Portland. The prominent location and expressive building language provides educational promotion necessary to expose the benefits and beauty of this art form.

Design Problem: Create a building combining three performance spaces, training facility, classroom spaces, set/costume design and workshops and administrative offices for the Center for Circus Arts.

Design Objectives: 1. Create a landmark for the community of the circus arts. 2. Create a progression for the visitorto truly experience and expose the behind-the-scenes of circus arts. 3. Create a fully functional, efficient theater complex for performance, training, and creativity.

Academic Projects - Discovery Park Center for DanceWinter 2008, Disovery Park, Ballard/Magnolia Neighborhood, Seattle, WA

Discovery Park Center for Music and Dance

Conceptually, the building is a funnel. It funnels in the community, natural surroundings, and music to combine as a symbol of the community as a whole.

Design Problem: Design a Center for Music and Dance in the naturally organic and wooded site of Discovery Park, Seattle, WA.

Design Objectives: 1. Create a sense of community through site development.2. Explore adaptibility through the interactive wall between the performance hall and entry; its moving parts embody rhythm, music, and movement.3. Incorporate the landscape and the park’s hiking paths as a feature of the community especially through view corridors.

Academic Projects - Wilridge Destination WineryFall 2007, Yakima Valley, Yakima, WA

Wilridge Destination Winery

The building teaches the process of winemaking as it hugs the base of the natural hill formation. It utilizes the gentle slope of the topography for gravity flow production in the winemaking process. The building is divided at the saddle between the hills acting as a gateway for the visitor to explore the vineyard and natural canyon beyond - a reminder of the winemaking process.

Design Problem: Design a gravity flow destination winery on 80 acres in the newly developing wine country of the Yakima Valley.

Design Objectives: 1. Create a wine experience where visitors can experience the process from grape growing through to tasting.2. Explore the process of gravity flow wine making and allow it to determine the most efficient design.3. Incorporate the unique environment by using the natural topography to guide the designprocess.
