| Project Title | Skateboard Park - Twisted Landscape |
| Project Description | Adjacent to the existing site of this hybrid skateboard park / after school learning center are several transportation arteries, including a multi-lane parkway, minor surface roads, a light rail line, sidewalks, and a dedicated bike path. This scheme endeavors to subsidize the cost of the park by twisting the site's horizontal surface to the vertical position where it can be used as a billboard for paid advertising as well as a vertical skateboard ramp. The orientation of surface maximizes its exposure to the existing transportation arteries. |

| Project Title | Skateboard Park - Interchange |
| Project Description | This skateboard park scheme evolved from an examination of the highway interchange as a precedent study. Based on narrative user scenarios, the building's organization captures primary and secondary flow patterns of the existing site as well as anticipated new user patterns. It weaves these flow patterns together, sectionally, with the dynamic programmatic requirements of a skateboard park. |

| Project Title | Skateboard Park - Woven Path |
| Project Description | During the first half of this project, we focsed on developing a clear conceptual strategy for laying out the skatepark on the site and how program was the driver for decision-making. I arranged program around a weaving path and it became a push-pull system. Exterior programs are pushed into the earth allowing for sectional variation. The architecture emerges where the exterior programs end. |
