ing from the Sundial and passage
of time. With net zero possibilities,
a building expressed as an edu-
cational tool for climate change

FOR REVITILIZATIONTakasegawa
Study Abroad in Kyoto, Japan
Team Collaboration
Challenge: Revive the heart of
Kyoto through the restoration of
the Takasegawa canal. Under-
standing and interweaving histor-
ical, spiritual, and cultural inter-
pretaions of physical space and
material into the design.
Response: A seasonal garden as
an urban walking zone express-
ing the 12 principles of Japanese
Garden Design.
A living system integrated into the
canal to filter and clean the water.
A city that flourishes along the waters edge and crawls up the walls of the apartments to the radiant sun and limitless sky.
To cultivate life in plants and people.
Let us remember the past and educate the future to cultivate peace.Always remember the prosperity of culture and strength of community.
FOR A MEMORYHands-On Synagogue Reconstruction | Open Air Folk Architecture Museum
Sanok, Poland
Polaniec Synagogue reconstructed on site through heavy timber construction, detailed
wood carpentry, and Jewish paintings
Workshop into Interpretive Center Synagogue Rememberance Garden
FOR RESIDENTSHousing Bootcamp Weekly Projects
Challenge: Design a single room
of 330 square feet connected to
the outdoors.
Response: A flexible space that
acts as a bedroom, a study, or a
den due to possible high turnover
in apartments. Sliding walls
connect the main living space
to the additional room and a
Southern, glassy wall connects to
the outside garden. This exposure
allows light to flood the room in
Winter and cast elegant, natural
shadows.
A community as a place to grow and flourish together.
Challenge: Design co-housing of
10,000sf surrounding a courtyard.
Response: Housing focused on
multiple use spaces. The central
courtyard acts as a private heart
for a communal driveway and
a small community for playing
and gathering with “eyes on the
street” from each dwelling unit.
Each garage can be opened to
the backyard as extra outdoor
space and each bedroom can be
combined into a larger study.
FOR GROWTH AND EDUCATIONNorthwest Culinary Institute
Hand DrawingsPortland, Oregon
Challenge: Design an institute
respectful of the Pearl District in
Downtown Portland
Response: An integrated
structure that harbors students’
futures in education, a place to
grow and harvest the grains and
fruits of the Valley, and a
connection to the cascading,
pervasive mountains of the
Northwest.

Skinner Butte Park, Eugene, Oregon

visitor orientation center unique to the city of Eugene.
Response: Versatile spaces for a range of activities from a small
lecture to a banquet hall. As the cafe reaches out to overlook the
serene Willamette River, the library reaches upwards towards the
Butte, towards knowledge and wisdom.
A passageway, inviting and spacious, connecting the old with the new.
