With an over arching goal of heightening the value of the performance hall, the Boise Performing Arts Center (BPAC) creates avenues for educational and artistic exposure for local and foreign users. The program includes: a 650-seat theater, a smaller 200-seat theater (for education and small-scale purposes), a temporary performance space, a gallery display wall, a classroom spaces for all age types, and a professional rehearsal studio. When designing the BPAC, the theater space was seen as a precious element that needed protection and seclusion. This theme is executed in the design by adding an operable shell of perforated metal along the building’s exterior, creating an impled sense of separation between the interior and exterior, and further separating the theater space from public extremities. A curtain wall flanks the lobby space, enticing the passersby and creating a “show before the show.”

This project was awarded the Peoples Choice Award, nominated by university professors, at the 2015 American Institute of Architects Spokane Design Competition.

The focus of this project was to generate a welcoming, functional, and temporary pavilion structure to be located along the Serpentine in London. Largely driven by the concept of “fluidity through the site,” we created a curved bench with a water fountain in between either site, as well as a recessing ramp leading into the central area, which functions as a temporary cafe or stage. The recessed ramp serves dual functions as both a circulation effort, as well as theater-like seating. The covered elements consist of tensile wood veneers, supporting canvas shading structures for both sun and weather shading. This project was completed in 24 hours, and we were advised by Cullinan Architects, a local London architecture firm. The charrette was a culmination of the sustainable skills that we learned from a month of living and touring United Kingdom sustainable architecture.

WIRED WORLDPUBLISHED ARTWORKWired World is a handmade map made of of oak hardwood, stained in English Chestnut, and is composed of over 1,000 nails and roughly 150 feet of aluminum wire.

This piece was featured as the cover artwork for the Bosie Weekly Newspaper, a weekly paper featuring local & regional events, music, artists, and general news. The original version of Wired World was created for Boise’s Flying M Coffeehouse’s annual charity art auction, “Valentines for AIDS” in 2014, a local art auction benefitting AIDS efforts in Idaho. Since its original sale at the Boise Weekly auction in 2014, the piece has been published in “Cartographics: Designing the Modern Map,” a book published by SendPoints Publishing Co. The book features cartography from roughly 100 international artists.

For a ‘jolt’ assignment in our Thesis Prep course, we were asked to take a plain CMU fa-cade and “make it cool.” The program of the facade was a storefront to be placed in an urban area, and we were allowed to use three different materials.For this “cool” facade, I’ve designed 100 separate lami-nated plywood panels, each with individual profiles. The diverse profiles create seat-ing areas, as well as shading devices for passers by. There are openings for the window and door within the facade, and the panels are deep enough to allow sunlight to penetrate the store’s interior. A green wall is between the plywood and the CMU, allow-ing vegetation to grow within the panels and introducing a sense of natural elements within the urban context of the project. Metal shading devices are installed along the top of the panels, creating shading devices and surfac-es for plants to grow.This project was designed & rendered in approximately 6 hours.

By taking advantage of the vast array of resources that the close proximity to the river, the foothills, and downtown have to offer, this design seeks to promote and enhance the unique character of the West End while implementing and accelerating crucial attributes including: employment opportunities, local economic growth, urban agriculture, storm water treatment, art education, recreation, healthy lifestyles, and cross-generation living. The overall design is centered around a Performing Arts Center, which serves as the catalyst for development in the area, and is flanked by pedestrian-oriented public spaces and mixed use mid-level structures.
