Work
A 100-foot parametric installation built by CCA faculty and students — interlocking ribs, adaptive scripts, and two weeks of organized flux.
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.
A quiet weaving of histories: the structure and its re-found orientation joined again through the passage of light.
A continuation of our El Cerrito del Norte commission, folded aluminum panels extend the building’s design language without imitation. Using the same fabrication logic, they provide durability and visual depth while preserving the singular impact of the main artwork.
A design process that had to keep moving when everything else slowed down — turning scarcity into method, and visibility into a tool for invention.
A civic artwork built inside the very vessel meant to contain it. Covid closures forced a pivot offshore, where the rainscreen panels were flat-packed for shipping. Yet the design called for dimensionality — a bottle assembled inside a ship. Reflective Fresnel-like pieces were hand-folded in Grass Valley, while offshore crates delivered the flat system. In the building’s own basement, the work was staged, sequenced, and finally lifted into place.
