AN ADAPTABLE SPACE FOR EXTREME INTERACTION*
GE Software Center is the second project which grounds this studio's focus. We were determined to design 250,000 SF based on a completely demountable construction system. Where every element could be re-positioned and re-used, thereby limiting landfil waste. *while with AECOM.
INDETERMINISTIC GROWTH / FLEXIBLE SPACE / INFRASTRUCTURE OF WORK / DISCRETE FABRICATION / 2013
WASTE-WATER FACILITY AS COMMUNITY REGENERATOR
Public Utilities are indispensible to cities. However, cities have contindued to grow to where residences exist alongside plant exhaust and other environmental impacts. As sea-levels rise, our infrastructures must be re-examined.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES / ECOLOGICAL ECONOMY / COASTAL RECLAMATION / 2015
After 40 years of incremental growth, it was time to re-assess existing conditions at the East Oakland Boxing Association, study feasible development of the parcel and plan for a new permanent building in a more systematic and strategic manner.
CONCEPT + STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN / 2016
EDGE CONDITIONS
An on-going research effort is an exploration of opportunities to renew industrial zones by creating contemporary architecture that incorporates its rich history while expressing desires for a radically new future..
INDUSTRIAL EDGE / URBAN HISTORY
MULTI-RESIDENTIAL SOCIETY
ON THE BOARDS
An L-shaped site stretching the full depth of the block in a historical community is an opportunity to unlock urban social patterns.
FLOW / MOVEMENT / VERTICAL URBANISM / 2020
THERE IS MORE TO SPACE THAN SQUARE FEET
AN ADAPTABLE SPACE FOR EXTREME INTERACTION*
NASA Ames Sustainability Base remains the capstone of founder, June Grant's career while Associate Principal at AECOM, and the basis for her launch of blinkLAB architecutre. The long-term goal of the studio is to bring her passion for sustainable holistic approaches to all communities regardless of income. Everyone should live in environments designed with multi-generational health in mind. *while with AECOM in collaboration with WMP.
HUMAN-CENTERED ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN / DISCRETE FABRICATION / 2010
Sustainable
Development
REVITALIZE MARKET STREET*
A prior delapicated un-reinforced brick building, repurposed as a civil-rights lawyer's office. This project is one of four projects which form the foundation of blinkLAB's commitment to under-invested communities.

CULTURAL INJECTION
Retail storefont conversion into a new performance venue for The Oakland Public Conservatory of Music (OPCM) now located at the base of the historic California Hotel.
COMMUNITY REGENERATION / CORRIDOR REVITALIZATION / ACOUSTIC + LIGHTING DESIGN / DIGITAL FABRICATION / 2020
The design pursuit is locating the Intersection of:
People, Culture, and Strategy.
Research and Creativity
Technological and Adaptive Ecologies
Lightness, Precision and Movement
Spaces of Interaction
