Projects featured in AD: Interior Atmospheres
Calibration Channel and Digital Exchange Exhibition featured in “Affecting Data” article in “Interior Atmospheres” issue of AD. The article, written by Julieanne Preston, describes the increasingly important role of information in driving collaborative exchanges in the design and production process.
Streams Studio + Seminar
Rivers have a potent relationship to a place. This seminar and studio deployed digital technology to ask serious questions about our contemporary understandings o four environment in light of technological advances. The seminar draws from the White River as a meandering line of inquiry, which in turn facilitates multiple tributaries of learning. Layers of history, industry, ecology, and [...]
Perimetric Boundary
A strong dichotomy exists between the factors of fluctuating natural orders apparent in the river, and the striation of the land by human historical and cultural influence. This installation exists as surface of influence between these forces. The form is informed by parameters of light, vista, material and process through a method of digitally folding [...]

Calibration Channel
The Calibration Channel provides a seating-platform to channel the river sounds in a manner that small groups and individuals can undergo sensory calibration. Primary structural ribs, digitally defined from the simulation models, contour an interior skin, which acts as a secondary structural element.
The skin creates a smoother surface to better accommodate acoustics. The structure rests [...]
