RURAL WELLNESS
[ron•dure: an inter-generational facility with an ER, medical offices, and a community center] Our holistic approach to the design process seeks to not only integrate a multi-functional wellness facility into a newly formed healthy campus, but to connect all structures through the physical transformation of the site. With emphasis placed on the benefits of light exercise translated through the inclusion of a half mile track, this new development will help to educate all generations that avoiding a sedentary lifestyle is easy and enjoyable. The catalyst for this movement is the mixed-use emergency room, clinic, and recreation center, which anchors the entire site in Columbia, Missouri; acting as a beacon for all who drive by. Ultimately, the newly formed campus will become a hive of healthy living.

URBAN TRANSIT
[reconciliation through redirection: a mixed use development in an urban design context] A new streetcar running down Main Street in Kansas City, MO opened in 2016. This studio was centered around the new transit system and new developments that will occur along the corridor. The first 2/3 of the semester were focused on urban design; therefore, each student created a master plan for the Crossroads District along Main Street. My main concept was to redirect traffic down adjacent Walnut Street in order to create two one-way streets through the district. I also created an incentive package for future developers to give land back to the community. Basically, the more land given back through setbacks, step-backs, and alleyways, the higher a developer could build.
18 [charlie lauberth]
My goals for the development included: Reclaim auto-centric sections of the street and return them to the pedestrian. Revive interior alley conditions to promote miniature blocks within the development site Integrate step-backs and setbacks in order to respect historic buildings and preserve the human scale

The final design is driven from a Grasshopper script model that studies the effects of the traffic redirection on development size [horizontal] and traffic velocity [vertical]

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
[8 month internship at The Lawrence Group in saint louis] I spent a large portion of my time at The Lawrence Group on renovations of the original Shriners Hospital and the Central Institute for the Deaf. Washington University in Saint Louis is converting this combined site into student housing for medical students. I assisted from the Design Development phase trough the Construction Document phase when the project went out for bid. I visited the site multiple times for site verification of as-built drawings. Along with editing red-lines throughout the process, I also drafted historical and new details for the document package.
During the internship I also took the lead on a small remodel of a ceramic yard at John Burroughs School located in Saint Louis. The Lawrence Group had been designing a new math and science building for the school already, and this small project was a new addition to the overall scope. I visited the site to take photos and measurements in order to create an as-built documentation package. I then submitted multiple renderings of schematic design options for the client to choose from and move forward. When my internship concluded, the project was entering the design development phase.

CULTURAL CENTER
[a hub for community involvement and entertainment in the crossroads district]
The Cross Roads District located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, is an eclectic community inhabited by young artists, musicians, and local business owners. The once industrial zone has been reclaimed as an up-and-coming art district for the metropolitan neighborhood. The district is known for a monthly event called First Fridays in which all of the local businesses and studios open their doors and let visitors experience all the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Crossroads. This proposed Cultural Center will serve as a community meeting place featuring a 400 person auditorium for local performances and displays.

The programmatic scheme of the building is broken up into three main zones: the auditorium and its supporting spaces, a dividing interior street acting as a lobby, and the community spaces including a cafe, a bookstore, and a multipurpose space. It is cladded using a Trespa Wood Panel system made with wood fibers and resins to create a long-lasting, color-stable exterior. The interior wall assembly consists of a double-paned insulated glass curtain wall system.
BENT MATERIALS
[a material investigation of bent plywood translated into a prototyped artifact]
The aspect of bending wood that I was interested in exploring was the connection of multiple bent elements. I wanted to create a seamless, yet structurally sound technique of joining different shapes of the same material. I attempted to do so with both bending birch plywood and Masonite. I drew inspiration for my final artifact from the work of Alvar Aalto. He created a series of furniture that I was able to see in person at an architectural exhibit in Munich. I conducted a series of test experiments to try to create a process to join multiple bent elements together. The end process utilized a finger-joint system achieved by overlaying plies at different intervals. I used a vacuum bag and CNC routed forms to create the experimental and final objects. The final artifact was a [napping chair] made from a bent Masonite seat and legs of Baltic bending plywood.

MOBILE PROTOTYPE
[a modular community engagement tool to be deployed in kansas city] KCUR-FM, the Kansas City NPR affiliate, invited architecture students from the University of Kansas to collaborate with them in developing a flexible and mobile platform from which they could more readily engage local-area residents in situ, while also conveying the brand of KCUR’s programing. Lightweight aluminum extrusions were included in the design to allow for mobility and durability, while Baltic birch plywood panels were incorporated to convey a refined natural aesthetic. Students developed additional mock-ups that included backlighting acrylic panels etched on a CNC router with KCUR-branded graphics and maps of Kansas City, a lightweight overhead canopy system to provide shade, and acoustic tabletop boxes designed to passively project sound from mobile electronics. Conceived as an extension of KCUR’s storytelling capacity, the prototype’s intent is to support new and innovative forms of journalism that takes a [boots-on-theground] approach to reporting on issues that affect our communities today. The future impact of the prototype with therefore continue to evolve as new events and opportunities for KCUR to engage the community arise.
