FINAL PROJECT Recycling Suburbia the goal of my graduate final project is to ‘recycle’ suburbia from its meandering rivers of pavement and fenced off manicured lawns back to its initial concept of a community within the landscape, all while paying a particular attention to sustainability and selfresiliency.

in short, suburban life is unsustainable, and it begins with the super block. Layers of roads are then layered in, winding and meandering between the lawns. Then the parcels are laid, shortly followed by the house, copied over and over and over from one floor plan, extruded and slapped with cheap material.

As an afterthought, then Suburbia is re-seeded with non-native grasses and trees and peppered with dammed, run-off diluted rivers posing as freshwater lakes.

6

And this is the ‘American Dream.’ this ven diagram serves as a complex analysis of ‘good’ within suburbia. the outermost layer represents suburbia as it stands now and viewed as good--per the opinion of a current spyglass hill resident. the innermost layer represents what suburbia could be as designed by this thesis, and where they overlap is the middle ground between the current standard and the new vision. manicured lawns

my project master plan, in its most recent stage, was designed in layers. in contrast to the current neighborhood design practice, i first looked at the original topography of the site to form certain boundaries. the next layer was a green belt, thick runs of natural forest dedicated to gardening, ‘sub’urban farming, serenity trails, and ecology. layered on top of that are the speeddesignated pathways: walking, jogging, biking, and cycling. areas where all of these paths meet define different hubs for activity within the neighborhood, thus introducing the next layer. density radiates from pathway crossings, ranging from mixed-use strips to townhomes and duplexes to single-family homes.

8

‘Cumberland Grove’ is home to a village center, boasting a market, restaurants, pubs, bike shop, post office, car share program, barbar, bank, medical office, and other amenities that create a holistic and supportive neighborhood.

Via design team, the ‘custom’ home process can be quickened by providing homeowners with forefront knowledge and choice of design principles such as passive design, energy collection, resiliency, privacy, openness, etc. Then a collection of examples relating to materiality, floor plan, and overall style could be provided which adhere to their selected design principles. These examples would then be tweaked per desired number of bedrooms, orientation, integrated systems, etc.

AERO-ARCHITECTURE STUDIO SKYbrary

the deteriorating small town

Though some small towns throughout the country were once thriving, various circumstances caused businesses to run dry, leaving buildings abandoned and neglected. Some burned down or were even torn down causing ‘missing teeth’ to appear throughout the town.

The Outdated Library

As the desire for and the capabilities of technology continue to rise, more and more people prefer the Internet’s ease of access and powerful search capabilities for a source of knowledge over the hundreds of thousands of pages stored within a library. Books are becoming obsolete because of the rise of technology and therefore, is making libraries obsolete.

The Solution

SKYbrary attempts to diverge from the iconic image of the stoic, unchanging library and infuse the uses of technology into the library’s program. This allows for the creation of a space for learning that can begin to pave the way for small town revitalization.

My aim is to use the technologically adept airplane to bridge the gap between old and new. The wings of the 737 splice through the floors of the library, providing structure and chases for information and electricity transfer. The spaces between the wings become hubs for powering and utilizing technology and sharing information.

These hubs are home to the “info-lages�, sections of fuselage wired with tools and devices for accessing and sharing information.

Being connected to technology allows for the greatest amount of information within the least amount of space. With the sharing of information excitingly tangible, an updated facade and flexible program the SKYbrary has the potential to put missing teeth towns back on the map.

AERO-ARCHITECTURE STUDIO HURRIcondo

Regardless of the repeated history of violent storms that wreak destruction of homes along the coast, people continue to build there. So, if coastal residents’ proximity to the shore won’t be altered, the design and durability of their houses should.

The HURRIcondo’s location, Miami, Florida, was picked due to the frequency of Major hurricanes --category 4 or 5-- to hit land in any one location.

13

People go home to ‘feel safe’, even though we know the existing building methods stand sub-par in the face of natural disasters.

But what if our homes could actually provide safety? The HURRIcondo is constructed from dissected 747 fuselages and wings and uses the structural integrity pre-engineered into the airplane to withstand the brute winds and debris thrown about by hurricanes. Hydraulics lodged within the wing allow the fuselages to rise off the ground to avoid surges and flooding caused by the storm. The wings also house a number of sustainable systems: energy storage from wind, solar, and geothermal collection; water collection; and vertical circulation.

14

While the facade facing the beach is a splice of fuselage to take the brunt of the storm and soften winds around its curved form, the opposite facade is architecture.

This design decision enforces this studio’s aero + architecture notion, because aero means strength but architecture means home.

CAPITOL DISTRICT ‘The Avenue’

in an interdisciplinary studio led by professor bruce race, my team of architecture (4), urban planning (1), and landscape architecture (1) students was tasked with redeveloping 15 blocks to the northeast of indianapolis’ central business district. currently boasting vast seas of surface parking, the team reworked the site paying particular attention to creating a sense of place such that those who work in the cbd might opt for sustainable downtown living instead of commuting. the team

16

was challenged with maintaining the formality of a capitol district while striving to achieve a net-zero design.

17

my block--located at the beginning of indiana avenue where it meets new york and capitol--is dubbed ‘the avenue’. once a jazz enlivened strip of music and culture, indiana avenue has been leveled in favor of surface parking and high speed one-way streets, but ‘the avenue’ seeks to revive history lost. formal elements expected from a capitol district are fused with those characterized with new orleans--to support the existing ‘bourbon street distillery’ at the nw corner of the block--and speak to the human scale, promoting walkability, music culture, and local business. whereas street addresses along capitol, senate, and vermont speak more of density and rich urban edges, promoting sustainability and community.

18

As a team, we designed our 15 blocks for sustainable water control, implementing ‘green alleys’ with permeable paving and rain gardens along high-pedestrian retail streets. in the center of our design was a block size park which supported the adjacent density as well as excess swale drainage from our district. beneath the park and additional plaza space-found at the SE corners of my block--is our geothermal system which provides heating, cooling, and energy for the district. for ‘the avenue’, i was able to reduce building energy needs by 30% through design features--daylighting, vegetative shading, trombe walls, radiant flooring, sub-floor air circulation--as well as efficient fixtures. then, with 35% of energy needs covered by our district geothermal energy source, and 35% covered by rooftop solar panels, off-site energy production--coal--was on reserve, not demand.

URBAN LAND INSTITUTE

Gerald D. Hines Competition 2014 The Delta District emphasizes the qualities of place that young adults are looking for: amenities, walkability, a focus on the environment, and a healthy, active lifestyle.

This design uses the concept of rills – shallow waterways that channel runoff – to create a flood management system that protects investment,

20

improves quality of place, and integrates society with ecology. The Delta Rills serve as green space during the dry season and provides a physical connection to the river during the wet season.

The Delta District will be active twenty-four hours per day, making it safe, dynamic, and stimulating to both potential residents and

21

visitors, and returning economic activity to Sulphur Dell. During the daytime, the design promotes physical activity, healthy food, and sustainable living. Programmable plaza space adjacent to the new festival midway on Jackson Street creates a venue for night markets and art festivals, plus capitalizes on the asset of the new Ball Park. At night, residents and visitors have access to dining options that include produce sourced at the city’s Farmer’s Market, and craft beer provided by local brewpubs. The locavore movement is not a passing trend, but rather a new mindset for a new generation of socially conscious community members. the Delta District thrives by creating a more active, vibrant, and resilient community.

GRESHAM-SMITH 2011 regeneration

The purpose behind ‘regeneration’ was not only bringing new life to something that had died, but also creating something beautiful out of something broken. ‘regeneration’ presents the Julia Carson Community Center in the form of a fallen tree, becoming a habitat for those in need of shelter, guidance, and nourishment. ‘regeneration’ not only resembles a tree in form but has a second skin, a paneled facade, mimicking

23

bark. This second skin provides a greater thermal capacity as well as creating a mosaic of wood, glass, photovoltaics, and vegetation. at the ‘split’ of the fallen tree--and the highest point of the building-is an open greenspace. walled in by the second skin, this serene healing space shields the occupant from the stress, danger, and grunge of the life from which they are trying to

24

escape. in the center of this space is a ‘tree’, serving as a memorial to all in need of hope.

The ‘bark’ is made from the siding of the onsite homes scheduled for demolition and embedded with green glass mosaics which catch sunlight to illustrate the tree’s regeneration. all the while, the ‘tree’ serves as a lightwell to the floor space below. due to a need for clearance height along The slant of the roof, an interesting opportunity for balconies is created at each level. These balconies both capture storm water through grey water collection as well as absorb it through rooftop gardens. additionally, the balconies provide constant interiorexterior transparency and thus, constant connection to context and community.

SOLAR DECATHLON 2013 Phoenix House Digester Boxes

during the summer semester before the solar decathlon ‘13 competition week, graduate studios were put to work assisting with construction of ‘the phoenix house,’ designed by the kentuckiana team--which consisted of students from ball state university, university of louisville, and university of kentucky. i was tasked with adapting the phoenix house digester plans and shop drawings as overall plans adapted during first assembly in kentucky. all drawings were done in revit and used to cut lumber to scale and construct the panels. the panels were then test-assembled into their respective digester boxes to ensure as few on-site hiccups as possible. the boxes were then disassembled and shipped to louisville for integration into the full design.

ECOREHAB OF MUNCIE 211 W Main St a moderately sized residential property located in Muncie’s Old West End neighborhood, 211 w main was acquired by ecorehab of muncie after being placed on the city’s demolition list. The three bedroom and two bath house is part of a larger block corridor involved with redevelopment by HUD, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. i was placed on a three person team tasked with designing and constructing a suitable back porch. the idea was to be durable and cost effective while still aesthetically pleasing. adhering to a tight budget, the design allowed adequate cover and room for outdoor furniture, boasting simplicity.

[ ]TOPIAN FURNITURE SHOP Utopian - Rietveld ZigZag Chair in the fall of 2013, professor josh coggeshall led a class on utopian and dystopian crafting. the first half of the semester focused on utopian craft, taking precedence from shaker architecture and new harmony, in. the final project for this half was crafting a chair that upheld such utopian ideals. i chose the zigzag chair, designed by gerrit rietveld.

30

the class required not only precision and perfection in construction but also in drawings. this drawing reflects the work of Hans Wegner, world renowned Danish furniture designer.

31

[ ]TOPIAN FURNITURE SHOP DYStopian - Found Object Chair in the second half of the course, the focus was directed to dystopian crafting, with respect to craft ideals found in steam punk and the jean-pierre jeunet film, delicatessen. we were required to locate discarded objects which we would then craft into a furniture piece. my objects were found in a scrap metal yard in muncie, in. the focus of the piece once served as the grill

32

of a decaying service truck, probably bread or dairy as an additional piece served as the door to an electrical panel (seat piece). the last found object, conveniently, was the skeleton of a pipe frame chair. extensive work was put into cleaning and reforming the objects while retaining their decayed luster. in attempt to maximize functionality, an additional requirement of the project was a ‘secret compartment’ found here in the hinged ski atop the chair backing.

initially unsure of the metal composition of my pieces, attempts at welding were used to manipulate the pieces, unsuccessfully.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS

Artekna Design january-july 2013 as an intern for artekna, i worked on a multitude of projects and over a range of points within the design scope including concept design, addendum drawings, wall section and detail drawings, and client renderings. as a firm specializing in healthcare design, my education was never ill-served while i was here. the complexity of balancing client needs, code standards, cost, and design with the stringent demands of healthcare code was a constant call for learning and vigor.

ET CETERA Other Works

an avid fan of the bbc show doctor who, i completed this acrylic and canvas copy of a faux van gogh. the original appeared in a 2010 episode, ‘vincent and the doctor’ (episode 10, series 5).

my love of unique-angle photography was put to the test in attempt to capture the spirit of notre dame football. while at a two week architecture camp, we were allowed a brief visit inside the empty stadium and locker room as well as onto the field.

38

during our first semester in the college of architecture and planning, we were required to pick a sculpture to draw from ball state’s david owsley art museum. i picked a stone carving of ganesha, hindu elephantheaded god of wisdom and learning. completed on watercolor paper with various felt-tip ink pens, this drawing of ganesha remains one of my favorite 2d works.
