“If it is possible to make words empty of meaning, I’d like to try ”
-Peter Eisenman
Set on the site of the Kitt Peak Observatory in the Arizona Mountains, the
building acts as an inverse telescope. Conceptually the projects examines
how transparent objects trade clarity for formal pronunciation. This phenomena
parallels the nature of indexical form itself, and the relationship between what
is seen, and what is unseen.

As a form gains articulation and textural detail, it becomes less transparent. This is caused by t the increased of distortions curved glass creates.

MERG confronts the convergence of two opposing
programs, each of which necessitate a different level of
transparency. It is a single building that houses both a US
Embassy, public theater, gallery space, and restaurant.
The structure is divided into two polar building types;
angular concrete shells, and a rounded fiberglass bag.
These types interact seemingly pushing and pulling on
each other to create a formal relationship.

Phase 1: Precedent StudiesThe Snellman House by Gunner Asplund, was built in 1917-1918 in Djursholm, near Stockholm, Sweden. Its plans reveal a strange squished relationship of spaces. Which provide a operational map for the formal design of a house.
Operations 1. Division: The initial form is broken into parts. 2. Separation3. Rotation4. New boundaries established, “flexible” and “rigid”5. Delete of overlapping space between the two

Drawing from the original Cerda grid typology of Barcelona this housing project
examines formal clash of the unending nature of an open system and the
strict definition of the grid; taking into account the roles of public and private
circulation, interior and exterior space, as key aspects in a housing project.

The Cerda Block
In Cerda’s master plan of Barcelona every city block is given chamfered corners in order to increase circulation through the city. The chamfer was dictated by the long turning radius of steam trams, which at the time, were the modern mode of transportation. Thus the chamfered square, the octagon, the rounded unit, though defined by the grid, facilitates a culture of continual burgeoning movement.

Site of Toronto Dominion after transformation
“There is no such thing as neutral space. Architecture does not exist without something that happens in it. Our perception of architecture depends on the activities that take place inside. The space is transformed by events. It’s not quite the same as before.”
D-Form proposes that sight is an
interpretive tool. Comparing the mechanics of both
human and machine vision, the resulting work is the
deformation of the outside world, defined buy the
viewer and his her her gaze as they move though it.
The site is the Toronto-Dominion Centre by Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe. It is deformed by the theoretical
vision of people moving though the complex.

Tumbling Form |Recasting the Rustic
TECHNICAL SKILLS | Rhino, Hand Modeling, Growing Magical Myscelium
Tumbling form is made from the living material inoculated
Myscelium twisted under directional forces. The resulting form
is an object and space, structure and mass, determined but
movable.
The parameters of the project are best understood through the
position of anthropologist Tim Ingolds who states, “in a living
world, the essential relation is not between matter and form but
between materials and forces”
Formal creation is a dance between material and forces.

In the remodel of a high rise corner apartment a floor to ceiling ambient light installation offers a counterpoint to the dynamic views,. Inspiration came form the mood set by 70’s space rock and ambient music pioneers - like Cluster, Brian Eno, Michael Rother. A computer shows a variety of video (sunlight sparkling on Lake Merit, cows grazing in a field, fish swimming among others) The videos are spayed in slow motion. Seen though the low res screen made of LED’s spread 2” apart behind a floor to celling wall of acid etched glass. Jim Campbell’s low Resolution served as a source of inspiration

In conjunction to my Modern dance practice, I’ve been taking improvisational dance photography. I’m interested in form, composition and movement, as an expressive tool.
