The result of my 2-day charette. A wood screen is used to further articulate the plaza boundary, while still allowing views to the iconic Marcel Breuer library. The most visible corner of the site is to be used as an outdoor theater, bench seating is dispersed throughout, a playground will take the place of the existing landscaped area, and a refreshments counter added adjacent to the existing sculpture.

One of the sketches from my trip around Japan back in 2006. More on Shuehi Endo at his website here. If you ever make it to Japan and would like to visit his buildings please get in touch with their office. Endo and his staff were very helpful and hospitable!

This workspace developed from an interest in exploring the strength of a single sheet of plywood. Of equal interest was the achievement of structural stability using mostly simple/pinned connections, as well as minimal mounting to the existing walls. The sheets of birch plywood and osb are modestly connected using bronze door hinges. The “modelling” and “office” workspaces are balanced by tiny steel angles at the existing opening. The “modelling” workspace has no connections to the existing fabric, while the “office” workspace is pinned at the wall by a single angle.
These are a couple images from my thesis project for a mixed-use skyscraper in Chicago at 7 South Dearborn. SOM also did a proposal for this site, more info here. I’ll post some more pics soon!

This is a lighting study that I did back in my 2nd year at UIUC. The building is called the “Church of Light” by Tadao Ando located in Osaka, Japan.
