(01)Aerie House is a four-level home built into a cliff face.
Two curved white walls wrap the sides of the house and run back into the rock.
Behind them, the floors step down the slope: entry and bedrooms at the top, kitchen and living room facing the valley, guest rooms at the bottom. An office on a hydraulic lift moves between levels.

(02)Whale Bridge is a footbridge across the Charles River at the Museum of Science.
One curved spine under the deck carries pairs of ribs that rise 17 feet over the walkway. Today the nearest crossing is far downstream and shared with cars.
The piers are shaped like children holding the bridge up. A 95-foot section lifts on a hinge inside the skull-shaped pier so boats can pass.
A whale skeleton hangs in a museum hall, ribs pointing down.

LED strips run along the inside of each rib and under the bronze handrail to light the walkway at night.

(03)Calla Lilies is a bus stop and bike parking area in Monument Square, Jamaica Plain.
Three flowers in green metal and bronze stand at different heights, so their roofs overlap. Each one rises on a bundle of thin reeds that spreads into a roof of green solar glass.
Each roof powers what sits under it: the arrival screen and lamps, phone chargers at the walnut bench, and e-bike chargers on the leaf-shaped racks.
