Thesis Boards

These are the boards that I presented at my final thesis exhibition. I slept for 17 plus hours after the show and gave my parents such a fright they almost called the police after pounding away/ calling me over and over at my apartment door for our scheduled celebratory dinner w/ my grandparents and brother and sister. I was very pleased with the resulting solution to my thesis' problem; I felt I had achieved a great deal of what I had set out to accomplish. Of course, I wish there had been time for more models...

Portfolio I

This is the portfolio I had created by the time I was graduating. The layout and graphic design are heavily influenced by the work of Radiohead's artist Stanley Donwood. I found it interesting at the time, but feel it distracts from the work a bit.

Portfolio O

This was my first attempt at a portfolio and at the time mostly consisted of art work from high school. (I took the class with mostly seniors, while I was a sophomore with only a couple architecture projects under my belt.) It also contains the only photo I have left of my 'lost project' the second page from the top. Those are some sketches and the model from my Elementary School design studio. The model was either thrown away or taken; the boards with my drawings were sent to Basel, Switzerland for the exhibit and were not returned. The odd white pages of the 'Ski Resort' were the first building project I did in school. The photos I took of the model were exceptionally horrible as is the layout for its pages shown here.

Portfolio II

This portfolio consists of some work done while at Jefferson Browne Design Group, my first job out of school. The projects range in scope from banks, to pool house buildings, small offices, residences, and retail. All work was done solely by me under the guidance of my principle. The firm had a predominant and somewhat constraining style and I left the firm with lots of good experiences in search of greater horizons at a larger firm.

Ein Hud Masterplan

This board was my entry into the international competition to rebuild Ein Hud, a Muslim city in Israel. The major gist of it was to create a truly self-sustaining entity in both the city itself and the community center. Basic construction methods would be taught at the community center, which would be 'finished' by the townspeople themselves. With the knowledge they had gained through the experience of building the additions to the center they could, in theory, travel out into greater Israel and create a viable income.
