skyrail
Optically tuned guardrail merging digital patterning with manual craft—CNC to carving, algorithm to gesture
rapid-type
The service economy needed architecture that could move fast. Prefabrication promised that future but never arrived. Instead, the food truck did. Rapid Type merges those trajectories—industrial precision re-cast as a mobile café, where fabrication meets immediacy and architecture learns to serve.
FLUX: Architecture in a Parametric Landscape
A 100-foot parametric installation built by CCA faculty and students — interlocking ribs, adaptive scripts, and two weeks of organized flux.
flow-zone
A 1,700-foot field of light beneath a bridge, Flow-Zone maps the invisible currents of the city. Two thousand green aluminum fins ripple across the underside of TriMet’s Orange Line overpass, turning traffic, wind, and light into a continuous motion field.
collaboration: extending the logic
Rather than inserting a new object, the work extended the building’s own logic—where light paths became structural paths and textile filtration became architectural pattern. The intervention operated through continuity, not contrast: a method that joined languages rather than replacing them.
manufacturing: adaptive choreography
When funding dipped, we built; when visibility surged, we learned. A process tuned to its own rhythm—turning pauses into propulsion and exposure into design.
manufacturing: designed to go offshore
Each project begins onshore—where the act of making clarifies the language that will later travel.
