Williamsburg Waterfront Competition_ImageTests

2011-08-26T09:08:00.000-07:00

These are my versions of the first day anyone gets a mac and finds the camera. It's also an idea of finding the multiple potentials of any one image for a project and asking how much you can expect of a still image. Originally developed with GG.

@FAB

2011-08-18T10:10:00.000-07:00

In summer 2010 I worked for Filson-Rohrbacher in Lexington,KY. These were early versions of graphic explorations we were doing to describe an ongoing project. More can be seen and understood on their website/blog. Graham Gordon designed a digital tool to allow these furniture pieces to be highly customized. I worked on the above graphics as a tool to describe the digital processes. Look for @ Fab at a gallery near you!

Installation 2010

2011-08-18T10:04:00.000-07:00

This is an installation project I worked on with classmates at the University of Kentucky College of Design for FAV. We were the 2010 invited university.

Design Fee Fun

2011-08-13T14:04:00.000-07:00

Indirect Expenses= cost of running an office (bills,paper,etc) Outside Consulting=cost of MEP,Structural, enclosure experts (stuff we don't know how to do or aren't willing to learn and accept liability for) Direct= our fees (stuff we're expected to know)

This means design fees are being consumed by specialized knowledge, rising energy costs, and increased insurance rates. It's probably time to bail or learn a trade.

This is an old image from 2009 or so I found for some seating design/storefront design.

It was for the ULI Gerald Hines competition I worked on with other students from the University

of Kentucky College of Design and U of L planning department and business. We lost. Maybe some

trees would have helped? Gotta love those floating planes, absurd glows, and zero humans, dogs, or trashcans.

Centerpoint Love

2011-07-22T14:41:00.000-07:00

This is a proposal I helped out on with Mike Mckay, Liz Swanson, Graham Gordon, Patrick Fromm, and Amy Westermeyer. We did it in a couple of days for the re-design of the Centrepointe proposal for downtown Lexington,KY. Hopefully the new design by Studio Gang gets some love.

Collaborative Learning Environment

2011-07-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

Another image from 2007 of a new Design School I designed for Lexington,KY. The studio

was taught by Mike Jacobs and had tons of good students in there. I'm not sure why I put the same woman walking everywhere and tweaked the camera like an insane person....and forgot curbs, streets, trees, etc. I called it a Collaborative Learning Environment...for reasons that escape me.

2011-07-22T14:24:00.000-07:00

I found this image I made for a project in 2007 for a new Design School in Lexington,KY. I

think this was around midterm.

HMPL1_2010

2011-07-21T09:41:00.000-07:00

This is a project completed with Ian Mchone for the reuse of a decommissioned power plant in Henderson,KY. The studio was taught by Marcelo Spina and Drura Parrish in 2010 at the University of Kentucky College of Design. Our project focused on reusing the available property around the existing main structure for office spaces, research facilities, and a hotel tower. The main building was preserved as a restaurant and museum.

2011-06-20T19:02:00.000-07:00

This was a portion of research I did at the University of Kentucky College of Design on a projection of urban farming on Manhattan to develop new types of public spaces. In this instance a farm typically used for food is now put to work as an ecosystem, in which the oyster reclaims the East River by attaching itself to our new infrastructure of liesure. The new floating swimming pool is now more than event.

Arts Complex_Spring 2011

2011-05-02T18:06:00.002-07:00

This is an arts complex I designed for the Spring 2011 taught by Drura Parrish and Aaron Betsky, director of the Cincinnati Art Museum. All in all I decided to do a building that combined the Art Museum, Music Hall, and Playhouse into one massive structure located at the riverfront in a highly vulnerable location. The structure acts as a support for the proposed Brent Spence Bridge that would span across to Ky. I called it a necessary luxury, making a case for an integration between culture and state, however minimizing programmatic friction as much as possible.

These are diagrams explaining the framework for my strategic vision of Henderson. In short, it's a cooperative r&d center, or co-op shop, as I called it. It works by centralizing the research and development efforts of the industrial sector so that a more collaborative venture can be pursued. More later....

Paper Babies

2009-10-26T08:22:00.000-07:00

This is a 12' study model I did for my Performa midterm at UK. The curve

folding started to add to a structural system but there were

many problems with the unit. I also have no idea how to take it out of the

paper world since it relies on scoring to achieve any strength. And those

joint connections are killing me...

Latticesque

2009-10-09T01:53:00.000-07:00

I'm working with curve folding applied to an aggregated pivot system (a.k.a grommets and paper) that can operate with some level of flexibility and behave in some way. Once I can settle on a more

three dimensional tile I can move on to a better connection solution, so far though Paneling Tools has been fairly helpful for iterations. But the real challenge is not relying on CNC or any sort of forming for the units.

a Site

2009-10-07T00:28:00.001-07:00

In studio we're still doing research/diagrams/maps,etc. I don't like showing that stuff because it's like smelling french fries in a room, never as good as the result of eating a fry. And, i'm really tired of meaning. Anyways, this is in Henderson,KY where my research is taking place. This is a cornfield I found behind an industrial park. Open, Flat, Field. No forces to be seen. Perfect.

Land Turd

2009-10-07T00:25:00.000-07:00

I started to like this one, mainly because I have a recent obsession with fortune cookies and curve folds. But, I decided this thing would be a better pavilion than sculpture.

When in doubt, lattice.

2009-10-07T00:22:00.000-07:00

This is another iteration of the unit system, except using a strip instead of a plane. This

time it became too flimsy and mostly a land turd.

Units

2009-10-07T00:12:00.000-07:00

So I'm trying to work out a flexible unit system for a fabrication seminar. Where this is

going wrong is that it's only flexible in two dimensions, and doesn't allow any rotational

movement.

drummer

He's also a part of Patrick and Ralph Carney which I don't know anything about and don't want to read about it on fan's websites because then I feel a little creepy. Gotta love those horns in this stuff. One song called escape from newark sounds like it would be a soundtrack to either a Lethal Weapon esque montage with Mel Gibson, a pistol, and a photo of his late wife, or a porn. Either way, it works.
