vandal ARENA MOSCOW, IDAHO, usa Iconic

The project was designed to create an icon for the community of Moscow and the University of Idaho when entering from the South. With an inspiration from the surrounding hills of the Palouse, Vandal Arena attempts to mimic the form of the surrounding area while contrasting with current building forms of the area.

Community

The arena creates a new sense of community by offering multiple uses for the city and University of Idaho including ice hockey, basketball, concerts, festivals, receptions, and smaller graduation commencements. pedestrian arterials are located in multiple directions to help connect with downtown, the university, and residential sectors.

Renewable Resources

The Building utilizes cellular steel as its main source of structure to minimize the amount of steel used. Kalwall is used to transmit light evenly and without glare to the arena. On the southern end of the hilled roof, arrays of photovoltaic panels are placed along with a water collection system on the bottom of the hilled roof. The roof drains into planters and cisterns to utilize water for landscaping and to be re-used by the ice arena.

The Issues

Lack of safety, accessibility, universal design, & diversity

Design Solution

site plan

amenities,

The design offers ramped options throughout the site and provides universal design considerations. The orientation of buildings is directed to face one another to emphasize safety for residence and shop owners. There are rough pavers to remind the motor vehicles that this is a pedestrian oriented area. There are new amenities to cater to the community and bring outsiders to the community. All amenities are located within a 10 minute walk. With the parks and green roofs, there is 63% more open space that is accessible to the community. The design offers many complex arteries reflecting the context of the urban cityscape. The entertainment area to the south acts as the heart of the community and has main and minor arteries leading to it. There are even arterials to incorporate universal design to allow pedestrians access throughout the steep topography. The entirety of the project is summarized as a network of style and meaning for the community. As a whole, the network is a patchwork of people and place and the interaction between both. It is an environment where people can live, work and play. Most importantly, it is a place of community.

Inspiration

Continuing to blend the social with the circulatory experience. How can we bring this scenario to other parts of the site?

Architecture without Architects “Architecture can be produced not by specialists but by the spontaneous and continuing activity of a whole people with a common heritage, acting within a community experience.� -Bernard Rudofsky

Architecture without Architects Design with the opportunity for engagement by the user. Instead of fighting against people utilizing the space the way they want, we can design for opportunities. -Group Theory

The design for this project was completed for an Urban Planning Study Abroad Studio to China during the summer of 2012. The project required strategic group analysis of current conditions of the site. Design charrettes were held throughout the class in collaboration with students from the University of Idaho and Chongqing University. Throughout the phases of the design, I was involved in analysis, design strategy, and graphic representation.

jackson st. renewal MOSCOW, IDAHO, usa Character Concept

The design reflects an interpretation of Moscow’s fundamental character and values. The project consists of adding to the restaurant district of 6th street with a seafood restaurant to give a type of food that is lacking in the area. Almon Park was added to beautify an already highly traveled path. A much needed remodel to the existing Daily News Building was made to make space for a local company called Terra Graphics. Finally, a mixed use commercial kitchen with residential above was added to strengthen the community aspect.

Economy Concept

All of the designs considered the economy. Residential was to be affordable and quickly sought after for the location between the University of Idaho and Downtown. As the world moves to a more paperless lifestyle, the Daily Newspaper Company has less of a need for their entire building. A condensed space was designed for them while offering additional space for Terra Graphics.

daily news remodel MOSCOW, IDAHO, usa existing issues

After interviewing existing Daily News employees, it became clear that the current building was dark and stuffy inside. Employees said there was a lack of daylighting and proper ventilation. The Daily News Paper Company only needs 1/3 of what they currently have for employees. There is a lack of space for Terra Graphics Environmental Engineering and Design at their current building. The current building’s façade is aesthetically displeasing and not engaging to the pedestrian.

Design Solution

A curtain wall is incorporated on the eastern façade and another on the interior corridor atrium. This allows large amounts of daylighting to engage with the users. There are also two atriums that allow additional daylighting in the Daily News and Terra Graphics spaces of the building. These atriums are also equipped with operable windows to allow adequate cross ventilation and a stack effect. The floor plan layout is remodeled with a better programmed space to fit their operating needs. There is an intensive green roof for gathering with spaces for leisure. There are also better landscaped features on the east of the building to help engage with pedestrians on Jackson St.

sandpoint cluster housing sandpoint, IDAHO, usa Project Background

The University of Idaho currently owns a site in Sandpoint, Idaho and is considering making a satellite campus there. They asked us to come up with design strategies for temporary student housing on the site that could accommodate the first wave of students. These students are believed to be Graduate Agricultural and Biology students.

Project Design

The design strategy is to make a very flexible design and base it around the use of Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS). The SIPS are very affordable and can have a very high R-Value. These panels could be used for the campus and as it grew, they could then be de-assembled and moved to another location. The units are clustered in threes to feed off of each other’s thermal gain. They are oriented to the south to maximize thermal exposure as they are in a cold climate. We evaluated sun study our small, 400 Sqft. Or less units, through Scale: NTS HEED Analysis to verify if we could achieve Net-Zero. Summer Sun: 7am-5pm: 45-65 degrees Noon: 65 Degrees

monroe st. node 2 spokane, washington, usa The design caters to all of the needs of the community. The plaza offers a unique space for all ages. There is space for play at the nucleus of the plaza through a fountain which can be turned off to offer space for live music and events. The buildings in this area offer very unique spaces for the public as well. For example, there is a ramped space for display and a unique walk overlooking the park and plaza.

Walkability

Node 2 offers slower speeds at crosswalks. There are elevated crosswalks and stamped concrete pavers to ensure vehicles slow down. The design includes increased beautification to offer enjoyment as users walk. There is increased vegetation throughout, pocket parks, interactive roofs, space for leisure, and a ramped walk above shops and restaurants. Increased lighting and bollards are incorporated into the design to provide safety. There is just a 5 minute walk to basic amenities or public transportation as well.

Genius Loci

Early on, it was determined that there was a lack in a sense of place. Throughout the new design of the Monroe corridor, creating genius loci or a spirit of the place was achieved through giving opportunity for community gathering. 19

mending a neglected site lewiston, IDAHO, usa Project Introduction

The city of Lewiston, Idaho has been working to develop planning initiatives for redeveloping a 17 acre waterfront site in downtown. The site was once used as an industrial, frozen food processing warehouse but, is currently vacant. The site misses opportunities to engage with the commmunity and have a greater connection between downtown and the Clearwater and Snake Rivers. The city has expressed interest in using the site as an economical stimulant for the community to promote tourism to the city. The following designs reflect a redevelop of the site through design strategies that excite, connect and draw the community towards it and help to re-stimulate the downtown area of Lewiston.

Performance Goals:

-Improve Sense of Place -Connectivity -Visual Appearance

Design Intent

To redevelop the neglected site of Lewiston’s downtown waterfront into a more connected, economically sustainable, and walkable community while focusing on one mixed use development to incorporate sustainable design strategies and an emotionally evoked response within.

bbcc masterplan moses lake, washington, usa Introduction

During the design process I helped to show the college what the campus could look like through graphics and design recommendations. I assisted with existing and future campus analysis, biennium and term recommendations for buildings and site work.

Current Issues

Some of the issues noticed was a lack of beauty in campus landscaping and gathering spaces. There was a lack of athletic amenities that promoted students to be on campus. The campus also lacked safety as parking pocket park lots were not well lit and in some cases not Scale: NTS paved. There was little to no assistance in wayfinding. There was no cohesion within the campus. The campus was not viewed as a place of education.

a

Design Strategies

The design provides a beautified campus while providing safety and promoting school spirit. Students can now be prideful to attend Big Bend Community College. They now have amenities like tennis, baseball, disc golf, and soccer fields to urge them to be on campus. Circulating through campus changes with something as simple as pavers to break away from the mundane feel of slab sidewalks. Signage has been improved and path pavilion can be viewed on the following pages. Scale: NTS 31

moses lake, washington, usa

campus entry roundabout Current Location

BBCC currently has a campus drop off roundabout for students. It is used heavily during the hours of school. The center of the roundabout is unused and un-maintained.

Design Strategy

The design reflects the existing and tradition of a successful aviation program through Big Bend Community College. The plane was offered as a donation from the campus and utilized as a sculpture at the center of the roundabout. There is also prominent signage for the campus and gathering spaces.

Wayfinding & Signage

Wayfinding is a term devised in 1960 by architect Kevin Lynch. The term was meant to utilize signs, maps, and other forms of graphics to illustrate location and directions to travelers along a path. And while many believe this to be most useful within a building, it is most necessary when planning a campus. On the following pages, recommended signage is shown for the campus to help create a better wayfinding experience.

Dahmen Barn addition Uniontown, washington, usa 

Project Background

The Dahmen Barn is a historical barn that offers artistic learning experiences throughout the palouse region. The project required meeting with the Dahman Barn committee and collecting recommendations for the needs of the current building. The project also involved providing program development, schematic renderings, and construction documents.

Needs



The committee expressed needs for studio space, a communal kitchen, a main event space, and additional storage for the existing barn.



Design Strategy

The design incorporates a language that mimics the surrounding image of the Palouse region of farm buildings. There are dormers on the roof to cohesively echo the existing barn. Windows and doors were chosen to give a modernized look that didn’t distract from the existing historical barn. The design also utilized reclaimed wood for exterior finishes and new barn doors.

Additional info

The committee also requested a masterplan to excite the community of the possibilities for an existing piece of land that they were interfloor plan ested in purchasing. Scale: NTS 39
