frame

frame is a glance into my sketchbooks, an introduction to the ideas and forms that fascinate me, and an argument for the architectures I wish to create. It is a dialogue between the abstract formalism of my undergraduate education and the elaborate languages of tradition that catch my breath.

two facade studies and a rotunda
Facade as generator: that is, starting with a facade and working back to a floor plan instead of the opposite, more traditional, fashion. Here, a scored plaster exterior references brick construct…

This is a simple room, with a shallow dome set on squinches capping a square room. The whole is topped with a small tempietto-cum-oculus. A perpendicular section (top-left) is paired with a diago…

another riff on gill
Another Gill-inspired project, this time taking planometric cues from Ungers, with a large central hall that cuts through three stories to a pyramidal skylight atop, wrapped in a continuous arcaded…
