Urban Land Institute Gerald D. Hines Competition Finalist, 2nd Place
An ideas competition, the ULI Hines program is designed to simulate an actual urban design and development scenario.
“Weave” proposes an urban prototype for St. Louis that rejects the creation of a specific-use redevelopment district and instead introduces explicit north-south connections throughout the site that weaves it into the communities to its north and south. While the Greenway is the major east-west cross-weave, smaller strips of green space weave through the site, eventually connecting with the Greenway. Reinforcing the vision of a community developed around transit and other urban amenities is a magnet school in close proximity to SLU and the Armory, redeveloped as a performing arts center.
Tsunami Memorial Competition, 3rd Place
This proposal was selected as a top 5-finalist. The program for a memorial museum and weather forecasting station spanning a ravine. The form of the building was informed by the nature of water on the site as well as maintaining a lighter footprint both visually and actually. A deformed skin created passageways into the building connecting to and through the site.
