New and Improved: danruhlanddesigns.com

The website for Dan Ruhland Designs (my first website design client) has received a fresh and quick makeover.  While the changes may be barely perceptible, it's a bit smoother now.  Two additions: announcements of Dan's recent published work, and a facebook "Like" button.  Word. 

A few images of Dan's site:

2010: Dan Ruhland Designs (Website)

In the Spring of this year, I completed my first commissioned website for budding architect and designer Dan Ruhland.  A couple of screenshots are below, but the whole enchilada is here: http://danruhlanddesigns.com/.

mass_Specific: 2008 Emerging Voices Competition

This project is the the brainchild of Aileen Iverson, R.A.  My role on the project could have been loosely defined as "collaborator/concept developer."  Mostly, I developed the working prototype for a mass_Specific website.  Had our entry been selected, it would have gone live.  Alas.  Aileen's latest work on the project may be found at http://mass-specific.blogspot.com/.  The incarnation at the point we submitted our proposal (along with a couple images) follows.

"Recognizing the current paradigm as the Information Age whose byproduct, data, is mined, sorted, sifted and recombined as benefits interested parties, we propose that this system be used to create an equally revolutionary shift in the architectural practice by using data-mining as the basis for creating architectural projects.

In this way we create a prototypical architectural practice that more closely aligns with its pedagogy and is better able to distribute the products of architects, namely analytical research as well as and in equal proportion to building design. 

The name of this architectural-office-prototype is MASS SPECIFIC (M_s).
