I believe that architecture is about simultaneity;the privilege to layer, extract, build up, break down,collect and re-present the complexity of the places we inhabit.

Ungdomshuset, or “Th e Youth House,” was located at Jagtvej 69 in the Nørrebro Neighborhood of Copenhagen, Denmark. Its musical and political scene made Ungdomshuset a symbol of youth culture in Copenhagen, as well as abroad, for over 20 years. On March 5, 2007 the building was demolished aft er a long and arduous battle with the municipality. Th e confl ict surrounding the demolition of Ungdomshuset rallied many groups to come to its aid, and became an outlet for voicing larger issues about public space, marginalized groups and ‘free spaces’ within the city.Th ough many still lay claim to the site, it has remained empty since its demolition.

Th is project explores the potential of confl ict to generate new typologies. Th rough a new undulating topography, and program elements that support collective action, the landscape constructs a dialogue between the past and the open-ended future.

The void of the site is left in tact and becomes a physical representation

of the traumatic memory; a record of a past that begins to construct

a new narrative. The new topography is manipulated so it begins

to establish sectional relationships between the site and adjacent

courtyards and as mounds establish relationships as objects in plan.

6

Th e landscape is a layered surface. Th e manipulation of the surface to create voids beneath it and zones within it creates a framework

to be used and appropriated. By blurring thresholds and typologies the project is never one thing or the other but hovers in between

depending on the perspective. It cannot be understood as an object but rather perceived through the experiences and activities it

engenders. Th e earth becomes the permanent layer. Groups and programs, the infl uence of which inform and transfer through to the

surface, occupy voids beneath the surface. Th e ground becomes a fi eld for more temporary interventions the ground upon which fi gures

can appear and dissolve in the composition of the situation. Th e layers of ephemerality allow for the project to embed itself within the

site rather than impose itself upon it. Its identity constantly shift ing as the city evolves around it.

7

Th e excavation of the metro provides the situation to employ the concept of blending histories through displacement. Th e earth

from the metro becomes the substrate form which space is created and consumed. Th e earth serves as the formwork to create the

mounds. Concrete is poured over the earth and then excavated through openings. Where the mound cross the threshold to adjacent

courtyards a cut is created to provide inhabitants of the courtyard access to the mounds. Th e excavated earth becomes the landscape

between the mounds; an undulating interface molded such that the angles of repose invite diff erent uses and activities.

Th e topography creates varied public and programmatic spaces simply through a diff erence in elevation. Th e undulating landscape

steps back from Jagtvej to allow space for markets and events; cycles of activity that fi ll and empty. A new topography lift s to create

a venue space that can house interior events or open to the interior of the site for outdoor events and shows. Many collectives within

the city have established space for themselves in the periphery of the city but these spaces are oft en makeshift without amenities

or access. Providing program that could be used by these groups within a center of the city allows an opportunity for access and

exchange that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.

Th e city is a surface of embedded layers. Over time layers are lost,shift ed buried, rebuit and replaced.Th e project began with the analysis of Sanborn maps as a record of the built fabric of the city. Th is landscape was once the waters edge; the buildings, supported by pilings, followed the organic shoreline.Th e city grid erased much of the informal nature of the city. Within the grid shift ,left fover spaces provide for opportunities to reference the portait scale of early Seattle while providing cultural infrastructure for layers to come.Th is project proposes that the steam plant be converted to the production of industrial ceramics, with the adjacent site converted to studios, exhibit areas and a shop to support an artist-in-residence program. Based upon the model of a European work center, the facility provides opportunities to experiment with the artistic potential of industrial techniques

Th e mausoleum of augustus is currently a stagnant historic site, layered with controversy over its development despite its pervious uses as a opera house, theater, bullfi ght ring and scuptor studio.

Roma encampments are both sites of controversy as well as culture where a strong aritsan culture persists despite the lack of infrastructure.Th e pavillion provides the infrastructure for roma artisans to work and organizations to hold events and workshops. Th e pavillion would be used by roma, artists and architects to foster a collective interest in the issues of immigration, dwelling and place through a common thread of making.

Th e Cocoon is constructed using scaff olding that would be used for the restoration of the mausoluem.Th e workshops follow the footprints of the medieval fabric that was removed in 1936 by Mussolini. Th e pavillion provides access and exposure to a marginalised group to allow a new perspective on what is changeable in the eternal city.

Pause. Pickup. PlayA New Vision for Seattle Center: layered landscape of digital and physical play

Pause. Pickup. Play. Design Statement

Design Goals + Strategies

Envisioning a public common for Seattle

Pressing play on exploration and innovation

The evolution of public interaction is changing the way

in which our world creates public commons. The public

landscape of the 21st century has been redefined as

a dynamic and networked space, with a physical and

digital reality. These new definitions bring new meaning

to public squares and urban life. Our proposal for

the Seattle Center considers how to incorporate all

types of public interactions within the nine-acre site

through layering a spectrum of uses. Participation and

connectivity establish a broader user group, while also

producing a space that acts as a center for both the

world stage and local Seattle inhabitants.

Seattle center already supports multiple sports venues.

However, these venues are for large ticketed events that

lead to a more sparse population when an event is not

being held. Our design proposes the shift from spectator

to participant through the concept of pick-up. The idea

of a pick-up game implies accessibility and informality.

Pick up games can exist through a spectrum of activities

from classic sports to more alternative sports to digital

games. Program relationships to the ground vary from

permanent to temporary; courts and spaces for indoor

activities are below ground allowing for the landscape

above to be used for field sports and urban park.

Multi-use spaces are embedded into the landscape for

activities for the mind and body and serve as connectors

to recreational spaces below. Flux boxes sit above the

landscape for the conceptual play of collaboration and

creating new synergies.

Allowing for public, private and institutional partnerships fosters Seattle’s innovative spirit.

05 Making a healthy, resilient city by exposing

information to influence

change and activism

Along the sites adjacent streets, we propose connecting to the creative innovations of the Bill and Melinda gates foundation educational center with simple infographics that relate data about the city and also help to slow traffic and bring people into the site.

03Embracing change by

reinforcing active mobil-

ity

Interactive screens communicate digital information for all generations. As a user approaches the screen infrared motion sensors begin to interact with data and images to engage users physically creating a new urban scene

To activate the site edges, separated and painted bicycle lanes enhance safety and continuity of bicycle connections. Digital counter collects and displays data about bicycle usage.

Technological infrastructure re-links the site to the digital pulse of the city. Games and Apps draw participants to the site to interact and give spatial form to the digital dialogue. Games can link to other parts of the city or the world to create a forum in which users can observe, participate and interact.

Seattle Data with potential to be exposed through Site interventions + Activation Strategies

Pressing Play on exploration and Innovation

To envision a new Seattle Center, an incremental approach layers

diversity and multiplicity through a series of small scale interventions

that can grow, and evolve with the site. Designs vary from low-cost,

quick interventions, to longer term strategies to bring more varied

life to the site. While we suggest that the stadium be redesigned,

the site need not wait for this to begin implementing change. In

the current economic climate, a more iterative, incremental and

evolutionary process is more relevant, and allows for successful

public engagement. The plan demonstrates how these interventions

are applied to the site and the timeline shows when we suggest they

be introduced.

Installation

P{alley}dromes Pages of the cityNord Alley, Seattle Seattle, Wa

P{alley}dromes was created as a large scale art installation for Nord Alley in Pioneer Square. The installation uses palindromes ( a line or verse that reads the same forward and backward) etched into plywood, painted or filled with moss that will grow to fill the letters over time.The linear nature of both palindromes and alley invites vistors to walk these under utilized spaces to read and try to make sense of the phrases.This project was funded by the City of Seattle Small Sparks Neighborhood Matching Grant and in collaboration with International Sustainability Institute, Sarah Marshall and Jenny Kempson.

An exhibition designed to display and promote a book created during an international design studio in Rome, Italy in Fall 2010.The studio was framed around the Venice Bienalle and the potential of the temporary pavillion within the eternal city. The installation displayed the pages of the book within a field of suspended balloons so one can explore the book as a series of images and observations; much like the students explored Rome, rather than a linear experience from beginning to end.

Work Experience

A.H. Hammond Factory

Carr, Lynch and Sandell

Brewer FountainWorcester, MA

Cambridge, MA

Boston Common, Boston MA

The A.H hammond factory was originally the top producer of organ reeds in the world. The property was listed individually on the national register for historic places and therefore eligible for funding at the state and federal level. The building was rehabilitated for 40 units of affordable housing. Extensive historic research and documentation was required for Parks service approval for funding. Responsibilities included measuring and drafting the 260,000 sq ft complex, cataloging 246 windows of different varieties to create window details and wall types, and construction that would meet park service approval.

The brewer fountain is one of 6 fountains created after its debut at the 1855 World’s fair in Paris. The fountain was placed on axis with the State house in Boston in 1868 to commemorate municipal water to the city. The fountain stopped functioning in 2003 and the task at hand involved extensive research and exploration into the structure and mechanisims involved to restore the fountain and create a water system that could be recirculated.

William Wood, the founder of the American Wool Company created a live-work community for his employees called Shawsheen Village (now present day Andover Ma. Th e community was meticulosly planned by Wood to be a model for factory communities around the country. Aft er WWI the demand for wool uniforms dropped drastically and the village did not become the utopia Wood had intended. Th e park, within the heart of Shawsheen was designed as a memorial and recreational space to retell the rich history of this American entreprenuer.
