Design Project: Cyclical Processes The studio design project is focused on creating a fictitious new FArmer’s Market in Minneapolis at the future Royalston Station on the Southwest LRT line. The objective was to use the market to catalize positive growth, increase pedestrian activity and affect the qyality of the built environment in the immediate area.

The goal of the studio inspired the idea of using structures and areas on the site as nodes of pedestrian movement, which then informed the structural system of the main winter market - steel frame that represents the connectivity and relationships between the members of the whole system.

Design Project: Structure and Sustainability The studio design project is focused on developing a design that successfully integrates the various building systems into a cohesive, comprehensive solution. The goal of this particular studio section is to do so through the lens of sustainability. Focusing on the main winter market building, the structural idea from the previous studio had to undergo a more in-depth developent with integration of sustainable features.

Design Project: Healthcare Architecture The studio design project is focused on creating an addition of the existing Children’s hospital on the provided challenging site. Using the program provided by the hospital, the design team developed a proposition for the uture structure, also paying attention to the community and social aspects of th area, as well as creating an adequate healing space in urban setting.

Design Project: Architecture and Landscape crossover
also as a buffer between the baseball stadium and residential part of the site.
The site is located in Minneapolis, MN, near the Target Field.
The urban park takes on itself an innovative approach of entering it from above as opposed to traditionally being close to the roots, vie bridging up and over tree canopies. That was made possible because of the natural grade change of 32 feet between stadium level and the ground plane.
The project assumes the current program of the garbage burner to be transferred elsewhere, and focuses on the development that might be triggered by the incoming transportation hub expansion. The proposal responds to the character of the neighborhood around the site and brings in a friendly and engaging program of urban park, which works not only as a green space, but
The project also is trying to anticipate growth that could be catalized by this new development and assumes future connection to the river and further contribution to the Minnesota park system.

Design Project: Masters’ Final Project. The site is located in Downtown Minneapolis., MN, on the former site of Nicollet Hotel Block. As the city of Minneapolis is getting out of a construction market decline, there is a number of new proposals that appear in various locations across the downtown core, Nicollet Hotel Block being one of the sites that is considered for upcoming redevelopment. With new ideas and funds finally coming into the picture, there is a question about the nature that the block should adopt. The Minneapolis 2025 plan shows the Nicollet Hotel Block to change from its current status as a parking lot to becoming an open space extension of nearby Gateway Park. The project questions the current proposal and introduces a mixed-use development as an alternative option.

100% Corner, continued: The site is located at the intersection of three major downtown arteries: Hennepin Avenue, WashingtonAvenue and Nicollet Mall, which makes it essentially a potential unofficial center of the downtown core, and provides a great opportunity to extend the already existing character and program further out and around it. The goal of the proposal is to bring people into the city, populate already existing parks with more local visitors, connect the flow of pedestrians on Nicollet Mall with Gateway Park and the Mississippi River beyond, and contribute to the existing residential structures in hopes of assembling a new gateway neighborhood.
