The site for the children’s hospital is in the Printer’s Row district in Chicago on the corner of Clark and Harrison. The design intent for the Children’s Hospital is the creation of interior and exterior spaces unique to each floor through the shifting of floor plates. Throughout the building, though mainly on the patient levels, the floor plates expand and contract which creates exterior balconies on the northern and southern ends and “flex” spaces dedicated to family gatherings on the interior. Because the shift occurs at varying
degrees per floor, each patient floor has its own unique experience.
While the patient floors occupy the upper floors, the public areas are closer to street level. The main public programmatic elements occur on the northern end of the building and tie into a relationship with the street. The public lobby is on the corner of Clark Street and Harrison Street and has floor to ceiling double height windows that connects the people in the lobby to the activity on the street. The dining facilities occur on
the fourth floor at the same corner as the lobby and have a double height balcony.

Located in the small town of Edirne, Turkey, the building is an old train station that has been converted to an adminis-tration building for a local universtiy. The intent of the proj-ect is to convert the building into an architecutre school for the university. The driving force behind the design for the building is the idea of movement. In an architecture school, people as well as ideas are constantly moving and flowing and are very seldom static. This movement is mimicked throughout the building in the changing floor and ceilngs heights. The front entrance opens into the gallery space with the grand staircase leading visitors through the glass back wall of the original facade to the second floor bal-cony and circulation corridor. The four studios and cafe are located on the western side of the building while the ad-ministrative offices, library, cumputer lab and classrooms are on the eastern. On both floors, the main circulation is located in a southern corridor that aides in the protection of the interior portions of the building from the direct southern sun. In wanting to keep all original facades, the additions to the southern wall merely attach to the existing facade, turning portions of the original facade into interior walls. The addition of the exterior cafe in the front creates a an outdoor room that can be enjoyed by all those on campus. The terraces of the cafe float over water which ties in with
the cities important relationship with the nearby river.

Located in the south western end of Auburn University’s campus, the arboretum is a refuge for a variety of local and foreign plant species. The intent of the project is to design a pavil-ion accommodating two classrooms, a gallery, and office spaces. The object of the design is to create an educational facility that through the use of a stepped timber ceiling structure allows the natural light and surrounding tree canopies to enter the building in an every changing display. The main triangular gallery space consists of nine stepped roof sections that give dynamic and changing light conditions. The circulation corridor cuts through the
gallery and contains the classrooms on one side and offices on the other.

Located on the water front on a steeply sloping sight, the design of the residence started as a tilted box that I began to manipulate by pulling the sides apart and turning up the corners. The long reaching leg on the back side of the house is an extension of the side wall and meets the ground at a single point. The boundary between wall and ceiling is blurred as mul-tiple surfaces act as both boundaries. The space created on the inside was a function of the initial form. The main living area is located on the upper floor while the sleeping quarters are down below. The staircase is given special attention as it has its own vestibule and view to the water.
