About

Hello. I live in New York and work at The Living. I hold a graduate degree from Columbia University's GSAPP and an undergraduate architecture degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have more than seven years of professional experience at noted architecture firms, including New York-based Rogers Marvel Architects and SOM. I also tackle freelance graphic and photography work with my partner in crime, the multi-talented Jackie Caradonio at Lion in Oil. In addition, I teach a course, Hacking the Urban Experience, at Columbia. View my CV here: CV(html). Thanks and have a nice day.

Inflation

 

Difficult not to anthropomorphize this thing coming into being, but maybe that’s one of the things that’s cool in working with a dynamic structure – the weightless way it subtly sways in the breeze or will ripple in the backdraft of a speeding car or contracts and expands when someone enters much like a giant lung. People always liked to put their hands on the silvery metallic membrane and push in, feeling the negative pressure resistance from inside. This is in contrast to the hard steel of the dumpster in that the silver of the inflato gently reacts and responds to touch.
