WHOLE BODY KC LOCATION

Kansas City, MO | 39°05’48.0”N 94°35’05.4”W Located along Truman Rd. and Baltimore St. the site provides many great opportunities. Its relationship to the power and light district and the highway allow for great views and the possibility to draw in more occupants. It has great southern exposure and an existing natural rock wall on its western side. This design takes all these opportunities and creates a healthy environment for one to start a healthy life.

Having a strong core is essential in exercising and having a healthy life. Therefore, this design also has a strong core that lays the foundation for the rest of the building. This core houses all of the support spaces for the building, and becomes the central piece everything revolves around. The core contains all of the storage, locker-rooms, mechanical, egress evacuation, offices and reception spaces. The exterior of the core is wrapped in natural stone, including the climbable rock wall. This stone relates directly to the existing natural rock wall on the site. This material relationship bonds one with the surrounding landscape bringing awareness of the natural beauty one may take for granted in a large city.

ramp. This ramp is the primary circulation for the building and wraps around the central core. Using ramps, instead of stairs, increases the amount of distance one has to travel. This in turn becomes a small workout for the occupants of the building, improving their health while providing them with great views of the whole building. Enclosing all of this is simple glazed facades and roof that are strategically shaded with PV panels to control light and provide energy for the building. The light delicate nature of the structure and facades creates a pavilion like space connecting one with the surrounding environment and giving the building an open outdoor atmosphere.

While the rock core becomes the central focus of the building the circulation around the core allows one to fully appreciate it. As you enter the Whole-body Center you are slowly brought into a space that contains the core and a large

Overall, The Whole-body Center strives to create a healthy atmosphere while reaching out and connecting with its surrounding environment.

TIMBER IN THE CITY LOCATION

20 Beard Street, Brooklyn, NY | 40°40’22.7”N 74°00’41.6”W Red Hook has been a major shipping and manufacturing location for over a century, transporting and receiving goods through its docks. This has given Red Hook a very distinct industrial feel. The site, located on Beard Street and Otsego Street, has opportunities for views of the Statue of Liberty, the fanatical district of Manhattan, and the lower bay.

Below the residential tower on the ground floor are the manufacturing facilities, showrooms, a bike shop, and a large communal gathering space. The manufacturing facilities and the bike shop create a simple rectilinear base that the residential tower sits above. The roof of the

Through the experience of the structure my design creates a since of community while connecting one with the history of Red Hook.

Large glulam trusses act as the primary structural component. These trusses create a large atrium space that runs through the entire building. This allows the residence to fully experience the structure while also creating a greater since of community though the visual connectivity of spaces. Large CLT panels are then attached to the sides of the trusses that then support each residential apartment. These apartments are oriented to allow the residence to experience the great views Red Hood has to offer.

PHOTO MUSEUM LOCATION Lille Istedgade 4, 1706 København, Denmark | 55°40’14.4”N 12°33’35.4”E Located on Viktoriagade and Lillle Istedgade the site lies between the København Police Station, a Restaurant and a homeless shelter. Just south of the site is Halmtorvet Park. This park is very popular during warmer months, and with the site’s close proximity to it there is an opportunity to draw people from the park to the museum.

PROGRAM

The overall form of the museum is a simple rectilinear volume. Space is then carved out of this volume creating the gallery and circulation spaces. The spaces that are carved out become the public and circulation spaces, while the masses become the galleries and support spaces.

WARPING LCPA LOCATION Location: 10 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY | 40.772311째N 73.983403째W Following is a series of diagrams analyzing the plaza and lobby spaces within the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. This ultimately leads to the utilization of the surface technique of warping within this space.

A underlying grid and regulating lines are established.

Water features and greenery are extruded from the grid showing their space defining qualities.

DECODING GENERICS - STEP 3

DECODING GENERICS - STEP 4

Building and lobby spaces are extruded from the grid. The lobby space is bound by walls while the rest of the building is solid. This shows the public and private realms and their relationship to the plaza.

Occupant circulation around and through these elements is then analyzed and graphically represented in red. The water elements are placed on axis with the lobbies emphasizing an axial approach.

A problem today within the urban fabric is insuring a strong relationship between the exterior and interior. The analysis of plaza and lobby spaces within New York City showed there were many factors at play in order to create this strong relationship. The identification of key elements within the plaza spaces showed how water elements and greenery have a strong impact on the circulation and use of the space. Water features were used mostly as a way to draw people onto the site and were often placed on main axes with the lobby spaces. This draws one onto the site while also directing them towards the lobby. Greenery was used as space defining objects. A plaza space is not only a continuation of the street and sidewalks but is a space onto itself. Greenery along with elevation changes helps to distinguish the plaza from the street. A smooth and continuous transition between the street and plaza, however, is very important. Otherwise,

the plaza runs the risk of becoming under utilized. Not only is a smooth transition between the street and plaza very important, the transition to plaza and lobby is also important.

The plaza and lobby work together as a team. Without the plaza a lobby loses its relationship to the exterior urban fabric, while a lobby gives a plaza a greater purpose. Together they work together to draw people to and in the building. This is why a strong relationship is necessary. Without this strong relationship the use of the plaza or lobby space could be dramatically reduced.

METHODS OF WARPING

Twisting

Warping becomes a promising solution to the problem of creating a strong exterior interior relationship. The warping of a surface creates a homogeneous and continuous surface between multiple spaces by utilizing not only the horizontal plane, but also the incline and vertical plane. Because of this unique characteristic warping has the potential to create a strong relationship between spaces not only on the same plane but between planes on different levels. As populations increase and cities become larger the need to grow vertically is ever increasing. This, however, creates disconnect between the ground plane and space above or below. The warping of surfaces within the urban fabric can create a smooth and continuous relationship between these spaces, in turn increasing movement, opening opportunities for the use of new spaces, and providing new perspectives and views of the city.

Bending

Funneling

The previous analysis of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts revealed part of the site, Damrosch Park, has no relationship to the interior lobby spaces of the Metropolitan Opera House or the David H. Koch Theater, that are directly adjacent to the park. The following is a proposition as to how the surface technique of warping can be used to create a stronger relationship between these spaces, in turn opening a wide range of possibilities.

DAMROSCH PARK CURRENT SITE Located on the corner of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Damrosch Park is used for large events such as concerts and festivals. This Park contains a stage and many planters and trees. The park however, has no relationship to any of the interior spaces of the Metropolitan Opera House or the David H. Koch Theater.

CREATING A CONTINUOUS SURFACE The ground plane is created as one unifying surface connecting all plaza spaces on the site. The ground surface of Damrosch Park is then warped, using the method bending, onto the facades of the Metropolitan Opera House and the David H. Koch Theater. A new stage is also created using this method.

BENDING THE SURFACE The warping of the surface creates a stronger relationship between the park and the Metropolitan Opera House and the David H. Koch Theater. It also allows occupants to gain elevation and have better views of the stage and the surrounding landscape. This surface is then warped again using the funneling method to connect the park to the interior.

FUNNELING THE SURFACE Through the warping method of funneling the exterior surface of the Damrosch Park becomes the interior surface of the Metropolitan Opera House and the David H. Koch Theater. This in turn creates a strong interior exterior relationship between these spaces. This also allows for greater opportunities of movement and views.
