Urban Infographics I

An Old Architecture Competition Entry.

Technological ruins amidst a sprawling city. Informing those on the municipality infrastructure while informing the infrastructure itself. A non-denominational alter to  the creed of pictures, numbers, and light; of global information systems.

A Few Trams

Efforts to bring architectural motivations to the brink of concept formation through a structurally limited disposition, etc., etc.... Sometimes, these things just happen, and its OK.

Guerilla Retail and Big Carcass Architecture

Adapting the Big Carcass in a post-wholesale climate. A variation of the "Pop-up Retail" paradigm, this is a practical effort to re-establish the boutique in the abandoned Best Buy/ Home Depot/ Walmart at the end of the cul-de-sac, in your planned community. Maybe not just retail- Cut it up and sell it off the space as studios, hostels, classrooms, a marketplace....

Playful Mechanics I

In an effort to avoid designing an edifice that implicitly defines itself, this entity is intended to easily and readily respond to and  facilitate input/ output criterion. Such an edifice can adapt to a given task, mood, or disposition or aid to facilitate a desired atmosphere/ mood/ activity. The space becomes intelligent through a kinetic interface. The user can configure the installation into arrangements that take on unique connotations, figuratively and literally, both within the parameters of the object and beyond.

Graphics Nobody Liked

Someone probably did, but more people should have, if they did not. Actually, no one didn't like them, so the above title is a bit of a misnomer.

bau[wow]haus

The title is borderline illegal, however the design was for a charity event, so any and all asinine wordplays should be excused.

The doghouse, based on the popular De Stijl "three color box" print that is ubiquitous in contemporary/ modern dining rooms, doubles as an attractive lawn ornament or garden folly. It is loosely based on the Bauhaus design principles, so the product is targeted at dogs who subscribe to the tenants of Russian Constructivism and Supermatism and reject the hierarchical and structural inadequacies and political ambiguity of pre-Bolshevik era expressionism, although I suppose really any dog could use it.
