Colorado’s spring breathed its final cold sighs and gave way to summer. 5 weeks in, a new addition appeared, placed right in the center of the impression. Whatever the intention or interpretation of my anonymous co-creator, it gave me great joy to see.

The squash was positioned in all different perspectives and angles of light, to look for the forms within the larger form. Patterns emerged quickly, and were sketched in real time. Literal Deconstruction <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9101e979f7ac3d109b1fdebc528f5666d62142d619890fdcbbdaa87d070f25c/Process-1.jpg" data-mid="206363801" border="0" data-scale="79" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c9101e979f7ac3d109b1fdebc528f5666d62142d619890fdcbbdaa87d070f25c/Process-1.jpg" /> The squash had to be cut open. This was done with great intention, creating a unique “stage” within the gourd while minimizing cuts and maintaining its integrity in a variety of environments. The first through-cut is a horizontal viewport. Second is a vertical shaft, into which fits a quartz stone.

Alongside a project manager, I guided this project from the very first client interviews all the way to the delivery of a conceptual design package. To preserve privacy and non-disclosure,all locations, organizations (excluding my then-design firm) and people have been anonymized, changed, or ommitted from this report. Full Conceptual Report Project Highlight: Research Deep-Dive Leads to Realignment (Twice)The primary point of complexity in this project arose from the cramped site conditions. To the west is the existing water treatment plant, and to the east are protected wetlands. The nature of the project’s design, involving planning for the turning radii of vehicles 40 feet or longer, required an actual and accurate understanding of these conditions. <img width="884" height="760" width_o="884" height_o="760" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/733bce6c87d3ed257f99ea68bb23f892a99ba03b7d1b83776a44a5d9c4f07f68/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-124000.png" data-mid="234705929" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/884/i/733bce6c87d3ed257f99ea68bb23f892a99ba03b7d1b83776a44a5d9c4f07f68/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-124000.png" /> <img width="1071" height="803" width_o="1071" height_o="803" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/48172f24ce624411a79e98813f7da027e38e8251ce814e0192700a73fcbf06bc/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-111711.png" data-mid="234705930" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/48172f24ce624411a79e98813f7da027e38e8251ce814e0192700a73fcbf06bc/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-111711.png" /> The first point of contention came from the wetlands. This is a small but flourishing riparian area, and its protection is critical. The US Army Corps of Engineers would say there should be at least 15 feet between their borders and any construction, including grading and paving. Meanwhile, parts of the Hawk County Land Use Regulations refer to a setback of up to 75 feet between all wetland and river areas. This latter constraint would have effectively halved the usable area of the site.It was my thorough research that found this potential difficulty, and I presented my findings and proposed solutions to the Board of County Commissioners in a closed meeting. After a drawn-out process of examination and interpretation of the relevant code and zoning, a very fair compromise was reached: As suggested by the original biologist/surveyor who staked the wetlands in 2009, a setback of 25 feet would be respected from all areas of the wetlands, with special effort paid to maintaining that distance. <img width="1066" height="813" width_o="1066" height_o="813" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efc6711816cc9c96ab48831b61cab46fa03f8f4d10d087c0a57193429361635a/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115544.png" data-mid="234705931" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efc6711816cc9c96ab48831b61cab46fa03f8f4d10d087c0a57193429361635a/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115544.png" /> The second issue was a more fundamental one. Our design team, as well as the engineering consultants, were working with site materials provided by the district, including surveys and a map from an incomplete design effort about 10 years prior. However, while we were well into diagramming circulation and early programming, I began to integrate modern imagery, and something was...off.Two weeks before a planned all-stakeholders design charrette meeting, I figured out exactly what it was: <img width="500" height="480" width_o="500" height_o="480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5168cb2d7cd09db05a7aa053eb247559139949d6ee6e9bf3737bd36346ddd88f/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115846.png" data-mid="234705932" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/5168cb2d7cd09db05a7aa053eb247559139949d6ee6e9bf3737bd36346ddd88f/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115846.png" /> <img width="856" height="824" width_o="856" height_o="824" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55319f11d83a24ae82226a556ee6f2b0154e09666d0afd8c326d015a7bce92a8/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115824.png" data-mid="234705933" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/856/i/55319f11d83a24ae82226a556ee6f2b0154e09666d0afd8c326d015a7bce92a8/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-115824.png" /> <img width="1063" height="813" width_o="1063" height_o="813" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f9aff3243bf64e090d217c158e4f1ee7c2d812554d8e43f1f9e4e0512cb198e/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-120256.png" data-mid="234705937" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f9aff3243bf64e090d217c158e4f1ee7c2d812554d8e43f1f9e4e0512cb198e/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-06-17-120256.png" /> In 2017, the district finished a long-planned and delayed expansion to the northeastern end of the treatment plant. This included expanding the plant’s footprint as well as new signficant landscaping and paving which cut significantly into our project’s site. The only issue? These changes originated in a different parcel and so never registered in the history of ours, and the client’s assurance of the up-to-dateness of their provided survey was simply taken as a given. This assumption should not have been made.My discovery provoked essentially a complete reset of the site layout - a painful realization, but a necessary and ultimately cost-saving one. https://jerm.link/Who Mon, 30 Jan 2023 03:15:47 +0000 JG https://jerm.link/Who Who is Jerm?I am Jeremy Goldman; designer, teacher, and photographer. Raised in Colorado, I have lived for the past two years in Spain, where I teach English. During this time, I’ve continued to practice my passions independently and pursue design opportunities as they arise. I hold a degree in architecture, which followed two years of mechanical engineering school and a project-based STEM secondary education. These have been complemented by internships and coursework across historic preservation, landscape and interior architecture, urban planning, and universal design. My areas of study are anchored and ultimately driven by a profound spiritual connection. A deep sense of interbeing informs&nbsp;a creative philosophy centered on inference and gestalt, holistic wellness, and environmental and social justice.&nbsp;These two realms of mind and spirit are channeled, by iterative and daily practice, into a passionate, organized designer. Every day I am testing, discovering, and redefining my path within the world. This website is a place to catalog, organize, and display my personal, professional, and academic work - and is itself a work in progress. I can also be found on any of the following places: ︎ |&nbsp;︎ |&nbsp;︎ |♘ https://jerm.link/CV Fri, 05 Apr 2024 21:53:25 +0000 JG https://jerm.link/CV Education Bachelor of Science in Architecture – University of Colorado Denver Fall 2019-Spring 2022 Graduated from CU Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning undergraduate program.

As president of Greeley Hall, I represented the interests of students living in my dorm building within the university-wide Residential Student Government. Internally, I coordinated the executive board to plan, organize, and requisition funding for events within the hall and across the quad. &nbsp; As a member of Pocket Theatre Club and Mr. Feffer’s Improv Troupe, I performed rehearsed and improvised theater across campus and hosted social events. Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate – TEFL.org October 2023-February 2024Completed 140-hour course in TEFL and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Course included&nbsp;50-hr TEFL, 30-hr Grammar &amp; Language Awareness,20-hr Video &amp; Observation, 20-hr TEFL, 10-hr Teaching Large Classes, and 10-hr Telephone Teaching Courses. Work Experience Language Assistant&nbsp;– Spanish Secondary Schools October 2023-May 2025 | Toledo y Huelva, Spain I worked as an Auxiliar de Conversacion in the bilingual programs at schools across spain. In Toledo, I worked in the Formación Profesional (Vocational Training) programs of three schools: IES El Greco, IES Azarquiel, and IES Universidad Laboral. The variety in campuses is complemented by a variety in classroom subjects: Microbiology, computer science, and marketing tourism, to name a few. In Huelva, I taught subjects ranging from world history to physical education. In each class, my role is twofold. During the first half of class, I support teachers in the course of their lessons as a native speaker, in an environment that is otherwise all second-language English learners. I provide context for common and technical phrases and help with pronunciation and meaning. I act as a bridge, applying my skills in both English education and my always-growing abilities in the Spanish language to connect students to their content. During the second hour, I lead the classroom with my own lessons. These lessons focus on many topics, all centered on English language and the culture of the English-speaking world, with the goal of getting the students to use the language as much as possible. We listen to music, watch clips from movies and television, and read news articles in skills-based lessons to practice comprehension and teach targeted language. Individually and in groups, I engage them in both controlled practice and free production activities and games to facilitate the students’ comfortable and spontaneous use of new forms and vocabulary. Architectural Designer&nbsp;– D2C Architects October 2022-August 2023 | Denver, Colorado, US As a designer at D2C, I played a key role the pre-construction design process, and was deeply involved in every aspect, from conducting user interviews and site visits to delivering the final documents. My collaboration with job captains and project managers spanned a variety of projects, each with its unique demands and challenges. My daily tasks were diverse, ranging from correcting redlines and specifying equipment to conducting research and developing site analyses. This variety kept me on my toes and ensured that every day brought something new. I simultaneously managed up to 6 projects, each at different scales and stages of delivery. This required careful planning and discussion with my coworkers to effectively manage time, resources, and information. A significant part of my role involved coordinating between the internal design team, engineering consultants, and clients. I frequently prepared and presented content to stakeholders, ensuring everyone was on the same page. In Revit (v. 2019-2023), I developed drawing sets tailored to the needs of various projects. My work focused exclusively on public projects, including Emergency Services response and training centers, vehicle fleet maintenance facilities, recreation and event centers, and even multi-family housing. I was lucky enough to work on these projects alongside architects who focused strongly on design-as-health. All this gave me a broad perspective on the unique demands and challenges of a variety of projects. Student Assistant – CU Denver CLAS Dean’s OfficeJuly 2019 2022-August 2022 | Denver, Colorado, USAs a Student Assistant in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office, I served two distinct roles. In my first role, I was a general service resource for the students in the college. I assisted them with their queries and served as a campus resource, providing guidance and support to help them navigate their academic journey. In the course of this work, I worked individually with not only students but their families in resolving issues, finding information, and guiding them through the bureaucracy of the University system. I accomplished this well, and was, in the words of one parent, “...incredibly kind, patient, sympathetic, and most importantly helpful.” In my second role, I served as an administrative assistant to the staff, faculty, and Deans of the college. I helped with general office work and contributed to longer-term projects, ensuring the smooth operation of the office. Day-to-day operations included management of the college’s inbox and general administrative tasks as required by the deans and support staff of the office. Longer term projects included recruitment efforts, document archival and digitalization, and even helping to plan the Denver Metro Science &amp; Engineering Fair. In response to the shift from in-person work to online-only due to COVID, I took the initiative to develop a number of Dean’s Office procedures. As part of a team, I created an office-wide email and video call help desk service, which was available to students, staff, and faculty alike.&nbsp; Following the success of the help desk service, we collaborated with the college’s IT staff to create the CLAS IT Help Desk. This involved receiving, sending, and tracking the progress of technology-related issues. My role also involved documenting processes and trends, and using these insights to develop a framework for a future independent Help Desk. I later took this auditing approach and applied it back to the front-desk resource role, creating a system to track and analyze queries by time, date, and type. This analysis ultimately led to a more efficient scheduling system for the front desk. Easement Inspection Intern&nbsp;– Historic Denver June 2022-August 2022 | Denver, Colorado, US As an Easement Inspection Intern at Historic Denver, Inc., I planned and conducted visual façade inspections of over 70 buildings around Denver, each with a Historic Denver easement. My role involved training and coordinating a team of volunteers to assist in these inspections, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. Before each inspection, I communicated with building owners and property managers, setting expectations and addressing any concerns. After each inspection, I compiled detailed reports, providing valuable insights into the condition of each building. My approach to inspections was both detailed and holistic. I took thorough notes and detailed photographs, and reviewed previous inspection reports to gain a comprehensive understanding of each building’s condition. I considered both near- and long-term strategies for building maintenance, ensuring a sustainable approach to preserving Denver’s historic buildings. https://jerm.link/Fourth-Wall-1 Fri, 31 Jan 2025 17:51:40 +0000 JG https://jerm.link/Fourth-Wall-1 Sep-Dec 2021 The Fourth Wall Inst.

The program called for the creation of a live-work space for a set of “makers” - our group decided upon digital and analog performing artists. The site is an 18,000 ft² lot in the River North (RiNo) Arts District of Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood.Work was distributed evenly among the members of the group, with each given opportunity to contribute with their individual strengths. For me this was primarily the historical research, conceptual space development, digital modelling, and presentation drawings of the project.

Context involves all the basic understandings of program, client, and especially site which are necessary to make strong design decisions.&nbsp; Concept includes the design goals of the project in terms of experiential and practical elements, and how they are united thematically and aesthetically. Content is the ultimate result of the project, including the drawings and renderings you’ve just seen, as well as the iterative versions which led to the final design. https://jerm.link/Fourth-Wall-2 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:49:34 +0000 JG https://jerm.link/Fourth-Wall-2 On Site and Through Time <img width="1326" height="711" width_o="1326" height_o="711" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2fb5c5df0f8cc2f2d40df25dfc63eb1a56afbcf718d00698e5933e4d4832d65/imagen_2025-02-03_212340556.png" data-mid="225951799" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2fb5c5df0f8cc2f2d40df25dfc63eb1a56afbcf718d00698e5933e4d4832d65/imagen_2025-02-03_212340556.png" /> <img width="752" height="312" width_o="752" height_o="312" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f50790734fdc2ef3e45d52f68e1d9ac165ac3dc1a1d7c0c8e630279a20673931/imagen_2025-02-03_212503091.png" data-mid="225951816" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/752/i/f50790734fdc2ef3e45d52f68e1d9ac165ac3dc1a1d7c0c8e630279a20673931/imagen_2025-02-03_212503091.png" />Industrial, Mixed-Use Zoning: ·Max.

The plot is one of extremes; sitting on the industrial edge of the River North Arts District at the chaotic intersection of 38th &amp; Arkins.&nbsp;The urban noise contrasts with the relative serenity of the nearby Platte riverfront path. A Pepsi Co. bottling plant across the street from the site dominates visually, while poorly maintained sidewalks create a hostile pedestrian environment. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ff39bf8600ae8cde05ac335d41e6373dcc8363831db617bdb3ef07fc973396e/IMG_8085.jpg" data-mid="225946451" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ff39bf8600ae8cde05ac335d41e6373dcc8363831db617bdb3ef07fc973396e/IMG_8085.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a2afa45b6b494f3e20fec25d1d8298c4c89e17ce94b8e07d7d813794b461475/IMG_8083.jpg" data-mid="225946450" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a2afa45b6b494f3e20fec25d1d8298c4c89e17ce94b8e07d7d813794b461475/IMG_8083.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/def0a34fc8b66a93058a24f31138d897172c5d1056bb53655174034bcb228b10/IMG_8087.jpg" data-mid="225946453" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/def0a34fc8b66a93058a24f31138d897172c5d1056bb53655174034bcb228b10/IMG_8087.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b45a0ef318ffcc4e691e712c3b79a7922fba7c91bc5db8170e5a62d5550d7a5/IMG_8086.jpg" data-mid="225946452" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b45a0ef318ffcc4e691e712c3b79a7922fba7c91bc5db8170e5a62d5550d7a5/IMG_8086.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f38f25006a3bca3b3317a8dcf84340907f640514a60c588e96e46a6479f01eb/IMG_8089.jpg" data-mid="225946454" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f38f25006a3bca3b3317a8dcf84340907f640514a60c588e96e46a6479f01eb/IMG_8089.jpg" /> I conducted in-depth quantatative and qualatative analyses of the area. My research focused on the history of the site in the greater context of Denver.What is now the bottling plant was once the site of a steel smelter - and the tallest smokestack in the world, which stood from 1892 until 1947. https://jerm.link/Abyss-Intro Wed, 06 Mar 2024 11:58:48 +0000 JG https://jerm.link/Abyss-Intro PAVEMENT ABYSSDuring the summer of 2022, I was the Easement Inspection Intern for Denver’s most significant historic preservation group. Over the course of 3 months, I led a small team of volunteers to investigate and record the condition of over 70 buildings in and around the city. This was a deeply enjoyable and rewarding position. Nearly all of my time inspecting was done alone and outdoors with just a camera and clipboard. The following piece developed towards the end of my internship, and out of two primary experiential sources:1. The great contrast between the conditions and designs of pre-WWII “Streetcar Suburbs” where I inspected homes and the post-war gridded “Suburbia” where I lived. 2. Spending just a little bit too much time walking in the summer sun along poorly maintained sidewalks.
