The David E. and Stacey L. Goel Center for Theater and Dance at Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, NH. Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.

A few years ago my friend a Dave Kaleta was commissioned by the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools to build a replica of the Gordon Parks Arts Hall as a gift for George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson. With that in mind, I figured I’d give architecture a try.

Built for the Wizard of Oz display at the Brickworld fan convention, 2013. This scene was built in grey-scale to mimic the scene from the classic movie. Although the Tornado rotated, it was also constructed to look as if it were in motion.

Built for the SHIPtember online event, 2014. SHIP being an acronym for Seriously Huge Investment in Parts. The goal of the month-long building binge is to create a spaceship 100 studs or greater. A poster of all the ships is compiled and made available to print.

Built for the Battlestar Galactica display at Brickworld, 2018. At 140 studs long, it weighs-in just shy of thirty pounds. Within the curved exterior is an inflexible three foot Technic skeleton that allowed the ship to be suspended at just three points in the middle section of the hull.
