EAST LIBERTY
MARKET HALL
Academic Work
This design provides a dramatic and inviting
market hall for a once-vibrant Pittsburgh
neighborhood that suffered from urban
planning mistakes in the 1960s.
The structure creates an inviting corridor that
is visible by passing cars while creating a
sheltered and engaging passageway through
the market.

CHICAGO
SYMPHONY
HALL
Academic Work
An annex between an elevated train and
the symphony hall to include performance,
classroom and public space.
Key element in the design was connecting
the lobby to the sidewalk by creating a more
permeable threshold.

48. FRICK PARK
SCHOOL
Academic Work
A school on the site of a slag heap in
Pittsburgh that becomes a sanctuary in
the midst of a noisy city.
Assignment was to design an artists’
camp in Frick park. The structural system
supports and transverses the shell,
while the enclosed spaces occupy areas
defined by the structure and shell. The
program itself lends to a strong sense of
center- being an outdoor dining area and
plaza, the studio spaces face south to
allow a greater solar window and act as
a more public face to the camp, while the
more intimate spaces house and feed the
student/faculty residents.
