ARCHITECTURAL TRAVELS

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in a small town in Idaho, Glenns Ferry. My inspiration for design started at a young age with building model scale sets such as legos, throughout my college career, with designing a variety of projects, I have gained a strong focus toward daylighting spaces and structural integrity. I am always looking for the chance to expand my knowledge and learning of architecture and design through travels, lecture speakers, and conferences. ACTIVITIES Physical exercise

This project located at the Art and Architecture North building of the University of Idaho, is an expansion to solve several problems. The first was updating accessibility to Art and Architecture North, 2nd was to increase architecture student studio spaces, 3rd to integrate a Native American Center, and finally to update the performance of the existing north facade on Architecture North. This project was designed between an interior designer Kalyn Dorendorf and myself. The design features central core circulation that spreads into the current building integrating as one. The open floor plans and the monumental staircase in the atrium allows floor to floor interaction to help make the spaces more lively and energetic. Updating the facade to increase its performance with double paned glass with a nano gel fill for insulation. Placing corten steel panels systematically for aesthetics and to cover spandrel panels that are used for increased insulation. The last main objective was showing expression through structure, material and connections rather than through form

This project located at the University of Idaho was designed due to the lack of an official tennis facility for meets on the campus. This tennis facility which is a long span structure is designed for accommodating circulation and focus around the matches giving comfortable and acquiring views specific to each match. Using kalwall material in the roof in response to admitting diffuse light while blocking out direct rays to preventing harsh repetitive shadows. With the open structure the courts are sunken in response to harsher weather issues to still play comfortably.

Located in Chicago, this art museum is a branch of the Art Institute of Chicago. Located a block away in the down town core is set next to an elevated train “the loop�. This project takes its drive from human movement through space and balance. Interconnecting two spaces of form gives the building a representation of art itself and an icon of the AIC. The project shows off the background of AIC in expressing technology, making, process, and use of assembly. The users move through a concrete heavy mass being the main structure, onto an open daylight space. That space made of light weight steel structure pushes itself through the anchor along with the facade and surrounds the users. The facade is made of a double skin frit glazing to block direct sunlight.

This fire station design down in Boise Idaho was for replacing the previous station that had poor circulation and inadequate amount of space. This building was designed in direct response to efficiency, through time response of firefighters with quick and easy circulation. Using a strong datum for hierarchy to separate out the machine and human spaces. Providing a comfortable atmosphere through materiality by the use of earth tones for firefighters to relax and regain strength. In doing this the CMU metaphorically wraps around the building while the interior is more exposed structure to provide a sense of continuity.

MAIN STAIR CASE


This project designed in Seattle at its waterfront was designed to provide connections for diverse waterfront users including walk-on ferry passengers, transits, and commuters. Seattle is actually planning on improving there waterfront over the next few years. They’re planning on removing a vehicular viaduct, expanding pedestrian usage, mixing bike lanes, walking paths, and viewing areas (shown below). The bridge now is very poor condition and highlights nothing about Seattle and the thousands of people that use the ferries. This project a 600’ linear bridge highlights movement and long span construction. Taking its structural supports from the form of the bow of ships helping create an important node and icon on the waterfront. Wrapped in a carbon fiber diffuse material is a 4 level staircase and elevator Creating an opportunity for views and viewing locations. Connecting back to the pedestrian level with an interactive water feature and bus stop location
