WARP
Warp is a multi-use hub that makes Chicago a revolutionary player in the future of transportation and a major hub for the Great Lakes Mega-region, which is backed by research I did for Badgerloop, an award winning student team working on hyperloop pod designs.
Hyperloop is a a new form of transportation that is being developed. It’s similar to a train in it’s point to point connection and utilizes a rail. It’s projected to reach speeds up to 800mph. Above is the number of round trips a single plane, train, and
hyperloop pod can make in a day, based on a 90 mile trip. The number of vehicles in each system varies. Planes are limited by the size of airports and number of dedicated routes, trains are limited by number of rails, hyperloop is only limited by length
of tube. A hyperloop, with perfect efficiency, could send a pod out every 2 minutes. This means up to 7 pods could be traveling in a 90 mile tube at once. This allows for more personalized departure times for busy schedules.
Many aspects of hyplerloop have yet to be figured out. Some portions have only be designed by engineers. I wanted to approach the design of some of these objects, such as the structure holding the tubes, from an architectural viewpoint.
Although the WARP utilizes an underground hyperloop, portions of it’s connections, especially over low density area, such as farmland, would be significantly cheaper and easier to maintain above ground. My design utilizes a modular precast prestreesed
concrete honeycomb design, allowing for a cheap, strong, and easy to build structure. This structure also uses significantly less concrete than the forms being proposed to date. In the rest of my study I went into route alignment, cost analysis, political
factors, energy efficiency, and sit development. I also proposed next steps.

Using the knowledge I gained through my feasibility study I speculated what program would be needed in a transportation hub that utilizes this new form of regional and national transportation. While still serving Chicago and the immediate neighborhood.

Located just south of downtown and McCormick Place, the busiest convention center in North America. Warp offers commercial, office, and hotel offering great views. Along with high speed hyperloop connections, Warp is located on a train line, linking the greater Chicago area
together. A streetcar system also runs through the hub which serves the immediate community. The combination of all these different forms of travel creates connections from a neighborhood scale to a regional scale. Finally, Warp works as a bridge over the train tracks,
connecting the lake front and the neighborhood.

Warp was a piece of a larger urban development, in which the whole class had a piece of. My immediate neighbors were a large plaza with supporting commercial space to the north, a transportation museum to the south, a non-denominational worship space to the west, and a green technology focused postsecondary school to the north east. Lake Michigan is approximately a 1/4 mile to the east.

This facade system achieves a smooth style while still being fuctional. The tubes block most of the light, while still allowing streams of sun rays between the tubes and achieves a semi-private feeling for the users.

Time’s Labyrinth is an answer to a growing problem in many cities. The use of valuable, urban land for cemeteries. I solved this by creating a single, skyward cemetary.
This cemetary grows over time. It would take well over 100 years to reach the qualities show in the last step of the diagram and the renders shown.
Although the concept could be applied to many environments and cities, this Time’s Labryinth is located in downtown Milwaukee.

Time’s Labyrinth uses a vertically stacked, glass brick system in which ashes are stored. The bricks lock into one another, along with structural struts, that allow it to grow infinitely over time. After many years, it becomes a monument to those who have passed.

Inclination is a vehicle for movement in a urban design concept in which three main paths slice our concept located in Montreux Switzerland. Our urban design prioritizes the existing access points and main institutions around our site, and connects them.

Inclination is the entrance to our new urban center for Montreux. Inclines are the main organizating element for the building. The first ramp connects and existing pedestrian pathway with
a new elevated pathway that connects to the rest of our new district. The ramp also serves as the primary entrance for 6000 sq meters of office space.
The second ramp serves art studios and residential units. The ramp crescendos with a bar featuring amazing views of Montreux, Lake Geneva, and the Swiss Alps. The roof serves as
