Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), MArch, Architecture
in 1992 I achieved a Masters of Architect with a minor in Building Construction. For graduate school I wanted to learn how to draw with the computer. I focused on learning Autocad, and 3D studio. The skills I learned in this area did not apply so much towards my studio courses (where I still drew by hand) but the computer models I built were implemented into a campus master plan for Georgia Tech, as well as the urban vitality around the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
The University of Tennessee - Knoxville, BArch, Architecture
In 1990 I achieved a Bachelors of Architecture with the highest award for a senior thesis project. My education involved participation in two off campus studios; Chattanooga Downtown Riverfront and Design Center (director and professor Stroud Watson), and study abroad in Krakow Poland. My undergraduate study in these two places has direct evidence in the city planning and urban vitality that exists in both places today. It is arguable that Chattanooga Tennessee where I attended high school has benefited more than any city in the United States through thoughtful planning practices. Poland in post my studies in 1990 experienced almost 1400% growth in the following years. During my studies in Krakow we proposed a hotel near the Wavel Castle that earned 2nd place in the European Architectural Biennial.
Highline Honorable Exhibition at Grand Central Station, Other
Our design focussing on the 10th Avenue corridor is concurrent with the rezoning of the West Chelsea adopted by New York City Planning in 2003. Transfer of development rights is currently the solution for an elevated urban park whose costs would be other prohibitive. As we saw it the Highline has the most value creating a semi-private spaces along the 10th Avenue development corridor with easements protecting the semi-private spaces protecting light and air to higher development along the corridor as well as the path along the Highline.
Competition judging for the Highline Competition awarded first place to a 2 mile long swimming pool.
1990 European Biennial Architectural Competition 2nd Place, 2nd Place
Our design drew inspiration from one of Poland's most valued landmarks the Castle Wawel. Overlooking the Vistula River, Wawel was the seat of Polish kings for about a millennium. Close to this site in between its location and Jagiellonian University is a site of about 50,000sf where we proposed a new hotel development. Our design concept associated the walls of castle with the walls of communism and for a hotel to embrace a new public it required more transparency. Therefore we employed the use of glass in a metaphoric arrangement of solids and voids essentially reversing the heavy walls of a castle's position with the solid void relationships of a castles armaments. This allowed for a more public approach to the lower levels of the hotel and the more private uses of the hotel suites.
