sketches

: Fred

: sketch of a building in salamanca, spain

: design concept for renovating an old factory into a ymca

: conceptual thinking for an Architecture for Humanity design competition for designing a deployable technology pod for remote and developing locations.

: evolution of concept

: becoming a system

: becoming inhabitable

: this was a conceptual design exercise to reimagine how a refrigerator could be made more usable and useful

: early in projects i like to bounce between rational analysis and more free-flowing, pure conceptual art and design, in order to break out of preconceived notions and self-imposed boundaries and limitations in my thought process

: graphical exploration of the easily reachable zones in a refrigerator, realization that much of a refrigerator is difficult to access, and a design idea for making all of it easy to access

: exploring different ways to break up the storage volume

: continuation of this theme

: continuation of this theme

: taking a step backward and conducting more graphical analysis of usable area

: bringing the newfound analysis to bear on redesigning a more conventional refrigerator

: further anthropometric studies in sketch form

: further analysis and a new concept for making the interior volume more usable

: a new concept

: refinement of new concept

: further refinement and analysis, seeing different storage areas as long-term or short-term, associating that with where those bins are placed for easy access, and graphing the function of usage (curve at left)

: initial concept exploration for this design competition

: initial experiential sketching exploring a graphical logic for the ideas under consideration

: translating the logical and graphical analysis into more refined urban and architectural analysis

: moving toward the organization of space and the definition of form

: next steps — checking idea versus data and in order to refine the enterprise

: design for a meeting space which temporarily disengages people from their roles so that they may have comfortable, unguarded, frank conversations

: plan

: details of the design — referential of the familiar yet whimsical, meant to instill a sense of comfort while at the same time opening up the opportunity to break out of traditional roles

: each person arrives at the space via bridge — this is a section through part of the bridge

: concept design for a ‘small footprint’ mountain home / townhome

: conceptual analysis and projection of Atlanta’s transition from a city with rigid zones to a more mixed use zoning — red=entertainment, yellow=residential, pink=business, purple=universities, black=areas less prone to short-term redevelopment (as of 1999)

: conceptual design for sprucing up a mountain home, primarily by redoing the porches, balconies, and walkways

: design concept for renovating an old factory into a ymca

: design of a custom hillside, lake-front residence

: my design process (see musing: Technology and the Societal Domain)

: How I see the world (and the wonder and beauty in it)
