KRANNERT ART MUSEUM
Fall 2010
ABSTRACT FAร ADE ADDITION
Using two dimensional techniques studied throughout my first semester of design, I created a theoretical faรงade addition to the existing faรงade of the Kinkead Pavilion of the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Illinois. Inspired by the lines and interesting angles created through photomontages of the existing faรงade, I designed a glass sun-space with a web-like mullion structure that folds off of contours on the existing faรงade.

FAร ADE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN MUSEUM FRONT
PARTI
After analyzing principles such as symmetry, hierarchy, repetition, and proportion expressed in existing building faรงades, I designed my own fictitious museum faรงade by using the same techniques.

SINGLE UNIT HOUSE
Spring 2011
I was most interested in the arrangement of public and private space when planning this single family home. The living room, the most public space, is situated in the center of the house, and all other lesser public spaces, such as the kitchen and dining room, are oriented around this room. These spaces are visually linked to the living room but are physically separated from it by steps and half height walls. The private spaces, the bedroom and bathroom, are reserved to the second floor and are connected by an axial public hallway overlooking a curtain window that illuminates the entire house. The second floor also features a private, south facing deck with wrap around planters for gardening.

CENTRE [VIA]
SQUARE LOUIS MAJORELLE, PARIS 11eme
My team was given a small, unconventionally shaped site in Paris and instructed to create a new gallery for the Centre Via, a small design center specializing in industrial design pieces and sculptures. In response to the site we created an irregular folding faรงade composed of translucent triangular glass pieces. Asymmetrically spaced vertical wooden slats create visual interest by concealing and revealing elements within the gallery. One enters through one of two openings in the folds of the faรงade and then follows an ascending circulation path around the three story atrium and through the various exhibition spaces, terminating on an outdoor terrace.
My team worked very closely throughout the entirety of the design process. For the final presentation, I personally created the floor plans and the circulation diagram and provided feedback on the drawings produced by my partners. The final model was also a shared effort. 11

MUSICIAN GUEST FACILITY VERSAILLES, PARC BALBI
The Musician Guest Facility is a proposed retreat facility for artists participating in the Baroque Music Festival of Versailles. It would sit on a small square plot located in the corner of the historic Balbi Gardens, now a peaceful and quite neighborhood park. To preserve the integrity of the garden, I designed a low unobtrusive structure that sits between the bordering masonry walls, with only the long glass entry faรงade exposed. Sliding doors on the faรงade open to integrate the interior lounge and reception space with the exterior park. Furthermore, to allow a direct connection to the park, the public spaces are positioned at the front of the building and spaces become more private as one moves further back into the facility.

MUSEUM OF ANCIENT LIFE
CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS
The Museum of Ancient Life is a fictitious museum in downtown Champaign, Illinois. Being interested in the interaction between building and site, I created a site with sloping brick walls that would slowly reveal design elements as the viewer progressed along them. Specifically, as one walks alongside the building to the entrance, the sloping brick wall beneath the glass slowly reveals the interior Tyrannosaurus Rex display. I further explored the idea of revealing elements by pulling apart portions of select brick walls to create a “brick weave,” where perforations in the brick would change the viewer’s experience depending on his or her orientation to the wall. The façade design became an iteration of the “weave” at a larger scale with further visual interest created by varying the spaces between brick blocks depending on the programmatic elements located behind them. By using this overall technique, I created an interesting way of framing and revealing the Museum.

Fall 2012: Design Competition UIUC Chapter Entry Team: Allison Zuck + Joey Lippe + Ghislaine Garcia
RAIN MODULES
GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE BRIGADES
The Fall 2012 Global Architecture Brigades Design competiton challenged participants to design a rain catchment system for a primary school currently under construction in the Honduras. The design submitted by my team was chosen to be sent in for the national competition The Rain Module is a series of wooden planter boxes that are situated below the overhanging roofline. Rain falls from the roof and into the modules where it is filtered first by the soil and then by geotextile, a permeable material. Once the water is filtered it collects in a series of plastic tanks that run the length of the bottom of the modules. Pipes are connected to these tanks to then carry the filtered water to its intended use. More than just a rain-capturing device, the Rain Module also provides tables and seating, making it a multifunctional addition to the site. Slight variations in height and design throughout the length of the planters add visual interest and help to create a more aesthetically pleasing environment.
