Study model for a pavilion.
LIGHT+WEIGHT
Study model for a pavilion.
TRIANGULATE+GRADATE+LOFT
Pretty interesting iteration. Lofted the top and bottom profiles then contoured.
TRIANGULATE + GRADATE II
Another study model. I simplified the patterning and the result is much more elegant.
TRIANGULATE + GRADATE
Updated canopy study combing triangulation with gradation. Busy but interesting.
ITERATE
Study model of facade panels. Subtle dimensional differences increasing the width of the primary vertical from left to right.
PARALLEL
Study model for a canopy design.
FAIL
Failed plaster cast of exterior panel. The extraction failed but was successful in showing us where the stress fractures will occur in the final panel.
SCREEN
Scaled test of actual cut file used for the screen attached to the ornamental stair. The offset gradating parallelograms decrease in density from bottom to top achieving the minimum opening at 36" above the tread.
FOLD II
A detail shot of the column attachment.
FOLD
A light fixture that I designed with and fabricated for Tod Williams and Billie Tsien for their Central Park South residence. Laser cut blackened steel.
WARM
I liked to color and material of this shot. Very warm. The beer was smooth too.
PATTERN
Some New Orleans themed cards that I designed and fabricated. Digital craft. You may receive one for special occasions!
SUBDIVISION
Facade study for a residential project. Big to small; top to bottom.
GLOW
A random photograph of MMVC at night. It captures the essence of the design.
OPALESCENT
Interesting form, structure and color. Tasted good too.
TRIANGULATE
Study model for canopy.
TOLERANCE
Exposed architectural steel balconies. Very low tolerances. Very tight execution. Great job by Ryan Gootee General Contractors.
LIGHT
Washed with light.
