Early Concepts Two concepts drove the early design decisions of the Chicago Lyric Opera House. Chicago’s Burnham Plan and other circular elements in the immediate context provided cues that would eventually shape the site and lobby of the building. The dichotomy of the rectangular city skyline and the playful nature of Navy Pier created backdrops WKDW EHFDPH UHÁHFWHG LQ WKH H[SUHVVLRQ of the building. These two vantage points are the primary locations from which the building can be viewed, so it made sense for the building to acknowledge these vantage points.

The Lobby The lobby space offered an opportunity to promote the opera to the city of Chicago. This space is oriented and designed to glow when viewed from Lake Shore Drive, located just to the west. The opera becomes a highly visible landmark and engages with the city, and patrons of the opera have the city as a backdrop for their evening. The balconies thrust out into the lobby as they rise, encouraging exploration and pushing patrons closer to the city as they circulate up.

The Curtain Wall During the summer, the louvers function to passively block sunlight from entering the building. During the winter the spacing and angle of the louvers will allow solar heat gain, offsetting some of the heat lost due to Chicago’s cold winters. The curtain wall of the building was designed with the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in mind. A heated liquid mullion system also supplements the thermal gains during the ZLQWHU KHOSLQJ WR HIÀFLHQWO\ UHGXFH WKH FRVW RI heating the space over the lifetime of the building.

Amenities Since the opera season does not run year-round, it was important to our group that we design a building with other functions to encourage year-round use of the building. A blackbox theater was added to the program to increase the variety of performances that could be held in the theater. A rentable roof terrace overlooking the city, and a restaurant overlooking the lake offered two opportunities to expand the functionality of the building during the off season and attract patron from the adjacent Navy Pier area.

BARACK OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY STUDIO 504 - SPRING 2015


CENTRAL COURTYARD & REFLECTING POOL



Honolulu, Hawaii Spring, 2015 Individual Project The Barack Obama Presidential Library focuses on melding the archival, administrative, and public museum functions of a presidential library into a cohesive space. The expression of these three functions, and the interplay between their adjacencies and functional relationship, became a key aspect of the design. The radial building design circulates the public around the central courtyard, while maintaining the separation and security necessary for the library and archive to function effectively. The building also takes advantage of its prime SODFHPHQW RQ WKH VKRUH RI WKH 3DFLĂ€F Ocean, and the central viewing platform orients the viewer towards the natural beauty of Diamond Head Mountain, and WKH KLVWRULF VLJQLĂ€FDQFH RI 3HDUO +DUERU

EXTERIOR TROMBE WALL Rendering: Callum Vierthaler


LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN, STAIRS Rendering: Callum Vierthaler


Lawrence, Kansas Summer, 2015 Team Members: Christina Moss, Ben Jensen The Chalk Rock House is a collaborative one-month project focused on developing an adaptable house tailored a variety of client situations. The original client was a climbing enthusiast looking for an expandable 3 bedroom house with a studio space, two car garage, dinning room, living room, and rock wall. The site included a narrow lot adjacent to a small river. Our team designed the building around a 3 story vertical space, with an adaptable trombe wall whose panels could be removed and replaced depending on the client needs and situation. An emphasis was placed on the potential for green living features such as a roof garden for home grown foods, clearstory windows for natural lighting, passive heating and cooling during the milder months, and high R-value wall construction for the harsher months.

The trombe wall is located on the southern wall of the building. It consists of high-mass panels supported on a steel frame. Its function is to passively heat and cool the house in the fall and spring when the weather is mild. The vents are controlled electronically to switch between functions. When in use, the wall will circulate air throughout the KRXVH LPSURYLQJ WKH LQGRRU DLU TXDOLW\ DQG JHQHUDOO\ LPSURYLQJ WKH HQHUJ\ HIĂ€FLHQF\ of the house. The panels on the back side of the wall have adjustable mounts allowing hand-holds to be placed and removed for bouldering and rock-climbing.

Circulation Circulation between levels happens around the central structural core. The stairs consist of metal plates anchored on one side in the structural core, and hung from the ceiling on the opposite. The steel hanger rods were designed to look like rock-climbing ropes suspending the stairs in mid-air. Their delicate form also minimizes visual distractions so that viewers on the stair platforms can watch the progress of climbers on the wall.
