for a structure included a green roof, passive design, wind turbines, and solar cells to help them be prepared for the future; and push their community onto the cutting edge of community living and sustainable design. I believe for these reasons, the future space should incorporate as many aspects of sustainable architecture as possible.
CONCEPT
SITE IRCULATION -C RE
The thought process behind my design focuses on how much the people at the Delaware Commons like to garden and live sustainably. They were very concerned with the thought of losing garden space to a new building that would take up all of their existing parking lot and their garden patches. Naturally, I wanted to find a way to give them more garden, instead of taking away from it. The basic idea was to give the building a green roof and have the north end of the building’s roof come right out of the ground allowing residents to walk right up on the roof. The roof would then be easily accessible and plantable. If you have ever looked out over the rolling hills of Kansas, this was what I was imagining, except they could utilize the space underneath for community activities. The west side of the building would have two hills answering to the spaces in between the existing buildings and a plaza would be created in the space to allow for more outdoor flex space. The outdoor area would be covered by a tube structure resembling a leaf and providing structure for vines to grow, giving shade in the summer and allowing sun exposure in the winter.

CREATIVITY The found object model was a chance to experiment with the concept of materiality and connectivity. My found object model is an expression of the vision I had early on in the semester about the materials I wanted to use in my building and how they might go together. The wood inside the steel represents warmth and growth within the structure. The wood surrounding the acrylic illustrates how I was imagining a clear box towards the front of my building for gardening, surrounded by yet more plants. Copper connecting tubes represent my early ideas of how sustainable technology would be incorporated into the design.

βíος • (bíos) - Life The driving force behind the project was to create a place for the residents to live, grow, and produce. I imagine this structure as a framework for life and production for the people of Delaware Commons. Much like how the shade structure at the front of the building creates a scaffold for vines, the building as a whole is designed to create a scaffold for residents to grow vegetables and create. Residents can plant a garden on the roof and inside the greenhouse, create and fix things in the shop and then show them off in the gallery. They can study and enjoy a drink in the cafe and research new designs in the R&D lab or the library. The performance hall is a great place to have a recital or hold an event for the surrounding community and the plethora of outdoor space is ideal for holding gatherings or just encouraging encounters.
