INNOVATION ACADEMY: 21ST CENTURY EDUCATION As the next generation of students is entering college, it has become apparent that there is a disconnect in the way this generation behaves, interacts, and learns and the typical school infrastructure and pedagogy of today. The design of schools and the way in which we teach students are both based on outdated models. Understanding the discrepancy between the current design of educational spaces and the way in which the next generation learn, how should schools adapt to reflect the 21st century and support the needs of this generation? This thesis explores architectural opportunities derived from shifts in pedagogy and curriculum structure, the reconnection to its context, and the importance of community integration.

KCAI SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE This project is a conceptual proposal for an architecture school at the Kansas City Art Institute. The mission of the school is to inspire the transformation of the discipline by pushing the boundaries of art and design in the built environment. Through a partnership with TOPLAB Architecture, the school promotes innovative architectural design testing the possibilities of 3D printing and full scale prototyping.

iFOLD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL + HOUSING This studio investigates the combination of large-volume program with single-family dwellings to create autonomous nodes of self-activating activity, coined the iFold. This project investigates the relationship between schools and low-income families, offering additional programs and facilities for use after school hours funded through the housing on top. Students can walk from their house downstairs to school and back without relying on transportation, allowing greater opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities and clubs. This idea transformed into a semi-autonomous suburban community with multiple iFolds with large-volume spaces and mixed-rate housing above, providing an elementary and high school, retail, offices, grocery, and entertainment programs in a high density, walkable community.

ANTIOCH POTASH VISITOR’S CENTER Design a research and visitor’s center on site of the remaining ruins from the Western potash factory. The center will include a historical gallery, potash research facility, as well as conference and banquet rooms. The building must be located strategically on site and use the ruins as a point of interest. Tower included for an additional perspective of the potash ruins on site. This design connects the potash ruins to the man made lake on site, representing the processing of the potash from extraction from the lake to the potash factory.

ABILITY INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO After evaluation of HDR’s proposal for the new Ability Institute of Chicago (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago), we were charged to create an alternative design. The new Ability Institute is located one block south of the existing RIC facility and is built on top of eight floors of private parking. The facility includes offices, a shell floor for future expansion, and four innovation centers for research and rehabilitation. The building utilizes an exterior structural skeleton to support the floors and is broken only by the ability labs, emphasizing the importance RIC places on the dedication to increase patient abilities.

DOWNTOWN LINCOLN COMMUNITY HUB The Pershing Center was once the premier event space for Lincoln, located in the downtown district. The public library has shown interest in purchasing Pershing Center’s site for a new library proposal. My proposal occupies the existing Pershing Center, remodeling the building to accommodate the public library as well as a new YMCA facility, a small grocery store, a black box theater, and a multi-functional event space. The library is situated above the other program, occupying the upper half of the existing building. Both the north and south additions provide exterior access to the library as well as accessible rooftop terraces.

#anatomicow
Internal Void
Profile Transparency
Concept: X-Ray Imagery The sectioning technique that we used to produce to overall form of the cow takes advantage of corrugations between the outer layers of the cardboard material. This technique allows for light to pass through the cow and offers views into and through it, similar to X-Ray imaging.

Concept: MRI Imagery
Exploded Section Profiles
Triangulated Mass
MRI imaging takes multiple sections through the body and piece them together to create a holistic representation. The reassembling of the sectioned cow profiles re-creates the overall form in a similar fashion.
