Beacon of East Town Minneapolis, Minnesota - Spring 2018 Professor - Lauren Brown Our focus for comprehensive studio was a mixed-use high-rise adjacent to Downtown Minneapolis within the East Town neighborhood. Fundamentally, our design was to address two major components: public and service zones at the base of the tower, and the tower structure comprised of oďŹƒce and residential functions. Particular emphasis was given to the integration of the design into the surrounding urban fabric, detailing and assembly of the building skin, and environmental impact as a skyscraper. We addressed what it’s like to live and work in a skyscraper, as well as the interaction one has to the immediate community and the larger city. We explored how a mixed-use tower in a downtown neighborhood can oer hierarchical domains, both public and private. Our design intentions were driven by three fundamental high-rise aspects: urbanism, program, and technology. Other supplemental considerations included aerodynamics, structural technologies, skins and curtain walls, circulation and public space, green technologies, and night illumination.

Quindaro Cultural Center Quindaro, Kansas - Spring 2017 Professor - Phil Hofstra The word Quindaro can be literally translated to mean “bundle of sticks”, and is a common ideology used by the remaining Quindaro Tribe. It represents being stronger in a community, rather than alone. The people of Quindaro know this message all too well, as their history is comprised of decades of diaspora and oppression. This project’s main goal was to better the lives of these people through a community gathering space. One enters through an underground passageway (reminiscent of the Underground Railroad) to an exhibit space of Native American artifacts. From here you can enter into the main atrium space, which connects all other spaces. There is a theater, a public library and research facility, business space with communal conference rooms, and an outdoor rooftop garden and gathering space (as Quindaro is considered to be a food desert). The atrium itself will display artwork from local artists. The atrium’s form is representative of the “Bundle of Sticks” ideology, and the building’s plan is representative of the headpiece often worn by the Quindaro people.

Design + Build: Bikes and Food Wyandotte County, Kansas - Fall 2016 Professor - Nils Gore Part 1: Build Your Own Bike Trailer Cycling is one of the least expensive, most energy efficient, and convenient methods of transportation. The cyclist community is not limited to professionals; essentially anyone who rides a bike for any reason is a cyclist. The purpose of creating a bike trailer is to make the lifestyle of the cyclist easier. The cart was designed in a way that could transport anything from groceries to children, using minimal materials. The Build Your Own Bike Trailer kit intends to reach out to all types of cyclists, including those who don’t necessarily have advanced tools or knowledge of construction. We would supply the materials for the kit and allow you to construct your own cart. The simplicity of the design was an effort to empower those in the community. We aim to inspire new ideas that will encourage the cyclist community to grow and thrive in Kansas City.

1-2: Pair the wire mesh to match their openings in the plywood walls. Match frames to corresponding openings within plywood walls. Glue the wire mesh so that it sits in-between the plywood walls and frames. Secure with clamps, and wait 24 hours until dry. Do this for all 4 walls.

3: After all the walls are secure and dry, you can begin to assemble the cart. Apply glue to the inside of all the grooves; it is easiest to assemble after aligning all 4 walls, rather than attaching one at a time. To avoid splitting of the wood, drill pilot holes as the diagram indicates, then secure with screws.

4-6: Pair flat steel plates. Weld the pieces to create custom angled pieces. Weld the curved bars to the custom angled pieces. The small steel pieces will hold the wheel axles. Center and weld the 4 small steel pieces to the frame; half will attach to the curved bars and half will attach to the custom angled pieces.
7: Screw the frames to the plywood cart. Secure the wheel axles with nuts. Secure the trailer attachment to the front of the cart with the metal clips.

Part 2: The Quadracycle As previously stated, cycling is one of the least expensive, most energy eďŹƒcient, and convenient methods of transportation. There are a significant amount of people in Wyandotte County alone who use biking as a main form of transportation. The cyclist community is not limited to professionals; essentially anyone who rides a bike for any reason is a cyclist. The purpose of bike-hacking is to make people more aware of the cyclist community and encourage more people to take on the lifestyle. Our bike-hack serves as a fun spectacle to attract, encourage, and interest more people, both involved and uninvolved in the cyclist community.

HUD Design Competition San Antonio, Texas - Spring 2019 Professor - Joe Colistra The San Antonio River Walk has a long and storied history. Not only does the River Walk act as an irrigation system, it’s a key part of the cultural fabric of the community and contributes greatly to the quality of life of local resident. The selected site is an ideal place for locating an aordable community that has direct access to this outdoor centerpiece as well proximity to the San Antonio downtown. Our proposed community called Aschbacher Apartments provides safe and dignified housing options for a diverse population: families, young professionals, and seniors. Opportunities for aging-in-place become increasingly important as the population continues to reach higher life expectancies. Also, housing that serves the needs of intergenerational communities fosters a network of support where residents look out for one another. It also contributes to a Lifelong Neighborhood, one in which residents can thrive at all stages of life.

The proposal also incorporates a multifunctional Living Lab facility located on the Northwest corner of the site. This facility collects data from the housing units and allows medical experts to observe the information and gather research based on the information. This facility also features rentable research facilities for University medical programs and other institutions that create a source of revenue for this community. While these resources exist today independently,
what makes this project unique is its ability to deploy Population Health strategies that are typically cost prohibitive to an aordable housing template that can be recreated at any scale. At the same time, agingin-place becomes easier and more comfortable as this technology removes the need to make countless visits to the doctor’s oďŹƒce. It also allows residence with disabilities a more feasible life style in terms of receiving treatment and performing physical therapy.
The total cost of a typical LITC project depicted here would be in the $22 million dollar range. This is the project described in our pro forma. In rough numbers we estimate a gross residential area of approximately 120,000 sf. We have assumed a hard construction cost of approximately $119/sf to arrive at an approximate hard construction cost of $14.3 million. The added expense of state-of-the-art sensor-driven biotech medical office space could drive that cost up to $175/sf. Upfront investment in net-zeroready construction could further increase that cost up to $200/sf. This would result in a total project cost of $26.8 Million. We have paid for this increased cost by assuming the ability to rent this Class “A” biotech medical office facility to institutional and community partners such as UT San Antonio for exponentially more than the commercial market lease rate for the area.

Reimagine Northwest Lawrence Lawrence, Kansas - Fall 2017 Professor - John Trefry This studio focused heavily on urban spaces, along with analysis of the social and physical attributes of public and semi-public space. We engaged with Lawrence Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Department to develop a vision for the built environment that supports a livable, sustainable, and diverse urban landscape for the people of Northwest Lawrence. The city is currently working on the Lawrence Loop, which is a project that, when completed, will provide a continuous 22-mile trail around the city limits. Keeping that project in mind, both commercial and residential elements were designed to coincide with the Lawrence Loop, while incorporating the concerns of local residents and promote a diverse and inclusive environment.
