A new typology for the typical San Francisco lot rooted in an ethos of sharing and collectivity.

A solo-exhibition at the David Ireland House that examines the form, social structures, and protocols of living together.

The Bronzesheet is a series of large-format prints that catalyzes new forms of solidarity as a coalition. They are categorized by the same themes that organize the design project’s spatial network—food, making, ecology, and care. 

A design-research project on Bronzeville that proposes a decentralized model of sharing wherein new forms of solidarity can empower residents to take action on the available city.

A design-research project on collective living experiments. Research into the hardware, software, and orgware of a series of case studies serves as a catalyst for a series of design prototypes.

The following five prototypes examine differing relationships between the private and public realm—from highly defined and delineated to fluid and malleable. In each case, a technique of form informs the typological arrangement.

A proposal of dynamic drapery that architecturalizes the notion of a tree canopy in a bounded pocket of urban space and fosters a series of diverse experiences that engage datum, layering, scale, and use.

A solo exhibition highlighting the first five years of the Practice’s work, emphasizing five thematics of collective form: Soft Frameworks, Articulated Surfaces, the Living Archive, Re-Wiring States, and Commoning.

An outdoor pavilion that employs a series of framed openings to transform a space of flows into a space of gathering.

The Depth of Fields house begins with simple geometric orders that create distinctions within the domestic/ work realm to ensure that the tasks of domestic life, work, public appearance, and privacy are protected.

Scaffoldia is a play-structure that originates from two monumental architectural forms that embody ‘outward’ and ‘inward’ space — the pyramid and dome. Located within an area of Oakland that is deprived of play structures, this small monument uses the politics of play to frame the public life of the city.

The Garden of New Worlds takes inspiration from the English romantic botanical garden, while employing sculptural maze forms to catalyze curiosity and play in rediscovering the history of five plants significant to the history of Canada.

A solo exhibition highlighting the first three years of the Practice’s work, emphasizing thematics of collective form: Soft Frameworks, Articulated Surfaces, the Living Archive, and Re-Wiring States.

Fabricated through a single CNC module, the exhibition collapses structure, skin, and programmatic enclosure into a single surface. Showcasing a series of design projects, the exhibition also hosted the honorary doctorate event conferred on the Pulitzer Prize winner Holland Cotter.

Instead of separating one from the physical environment, our proposal for an installation examines the expansion of the envelope into a three-dimensional field condition that envelops the visitor.

A proposal that adopts a strategy of first disconnecting the islands of Porto Brandão only to reconnect them in a precise manner. The act of disconnection, allows each of these islands to realize its ‘almost’ project into an ideal state.
