The Council Grove Public Library and Community Center seeks to add to the proud community and historic story of Council Grove. Taking from the site’s context and rich history, the library reflects the history of Council Grove and its origin outwards through its perforated facade, while creating a place to gather, learn, and discover within.

EVOKING A SENSE OF DISCOVERY
ANALYSIS / PHI LOSOHPY Council Grove is a town that prides itself in its history and community. The main street of the town, having been the Sante Fe Trail prior, is an important staple in the town’s commercial businesses, urban presence, and activity. The site is located in between this historic downtown area and the High School. Adjacent to the site is the Corey House, another historic building. With these key elements noted, the library is designed to align with the town’s values, excite students, and act a gathering place for the community.

Inspired by the large painted murals on the sides various brick buildings within the town. The facade of the building creates a mural of its own. The corten steel screen facade perforation varies in size to create a time-line of the town’s history from the Native American Plains, to the Sante Fe Trail, and finally to the town Council Grove is today. This allows the library to relate with the opaque brick facades of the older buildings while still allowing daylighting

Similar to that of a book, the library’s “cover” intrigues users to engage with the building upon which they can discover spaces within the library such as the Praire Room. Both within and above the library, the Prairie Room brings the historical story of the library fullcircle. Prairie grasses atop the roof provide a hint of the grasslands the settlers would have been among during the founding of Council Grove.

In the design of the St. Louis Crematorium, the architecture takes one through a sequence of powerful spaces, helping to provide closure for the mourning. Large poche walls help to focus light and create sacred moments. Impactful transitions between spaces to emphasize the notion of moving on.

USE LIGHT AS AN ATMOSPHERIC TOOL TO FOCUS EMOTIONS
CELEBRATE THE MEMORY OF THE DECEASED
ANALYSIS / PHI LOSOPHY In recent years, Botanical Heights has been quickly redeveloping into a more livable community. Located within this district, the crematorium had an opportunity not only to provide one with a thoughtful funerary service, but also an opportunity to start a new public dialouge within the area. With this notion, the crematorium helps to celebrate and face death rather than be ignorant of it.
Matching the local urban pressence, the office services are separated from the crematorium and move forward to hold the street front . Where the opposite street-front pulls back , it is mirrored in the crematorium to introduce public space, while also creating a nature buffer for the sensitive services beyond.
SITE
PROCESSION PLAN ORGANI ZAT I ON The plan is layered radially around the primary Ceremony Hall. Spaces are focused around the act of procession, reflection, celebration, and memory. The thick walls evoke a sense of weight and transition as one moves through the crematorium. Penetrations through the deep walls emphasize the mass and articulate the light.

03 Santa Monica NPR Station
The NPR Station of Santa Monica looks past the utilitarian nature of traditional radio stations and introduces a community-based dialouge in order to share information and music with the vibrant community of Santa Monica.
The radio station’s architectural agenda expands on NPR’s goal of sharing high quality news and media to all. By establishing a more public realm within the station, it is able to increases public exposure and interest.

SITE ANALYSIS / PHI LOSOPHY Located in Santa Monica, the site has to deal with a large diversity in people, ideas, and architecture. In the context of a National Public Radio station, there is also a great variety of media produced. With the Santa Monica Public Library adjacent to the site, there was a great opportunity to create a public dialoge, connecting the two media sources. Approaching the project in this manner, the challenge was to create a well organized program that was also an expressive public element of the vibrant community of Santa Monica.

MOSLEY ST .
ADDECO RETAIL BUILDING
SITE ANALYSIS / R ESPONSE The Dance Studio is able to engage with a unique part of town, bringing modern dance to the historic railroad district of Old Town. Just as modern dancers look for new interpretations of traditional dance, the building uses stone as a traditional material with a different approach to help intrigue visitors and respond to the masonry building context. The facade of the building steps forth as a modern yet relatable take on the context, aligning its values with the desire for more exposure to the arts within the public realm as stated by the community plan for Old Town Wichita.
S TRE ET AP P ROACH
PUBLIC EXPOSURE Several buildings within the Old Town railroad district and directly around the site are raised up on plinths for the freight cars years ago. The building relates to this idea in a slightly different manner to create a “stage” connecting the dancers and pedestrians. As the project is located on a pedestrian street, the notion of a public territory remains important.

FACADE
EMPHASIZ ING MOV EMENT The screen used for the project is made up of a modular arrangement of CNC cut limestone panels that is used in either an opaque fashion or as a screen. Arranging the various stone modules creates a dynamic flowing pattern on the facade. Where the screen is used, the stone placed within a large steel frame and held by post-tension methods, creating a panel. Doing so allows the stone to seemingly “float� within the panel. Using a combination of the opaque and screen system, the facade responds to interior program. Larger openings on the ground level relate back to the large open windows of the retail store adjacent to the project. Double height openings used on the facade gesture towards the lobby and invites users into the terrace through the corner.

A KANSA S CITY CASE STUDY GRADUATE STUDIO THE PROJECT The KC Urban Village, a 160 unit workforce-accessible housing project, provides 196 studios and 16 6-bedroom units to the heart of the Crossroads District within Kansas City, Missouri. Stemming from the increasing concern of affordable housing and the lack thereof, the project holds itself at a conjunction of capital financing, dense urbanization, and ecological stewardship. THE STUDIO The 13 student studio worked within small groups & collaborated with the developer/property owner of the project site to push the conversation of feasible housing solutions pairing modular systems and density.

SITE ANALYSIS / R ESPONSE Located on 18th and Walnut, the site is only one block away from the Metro/KC streetcar. This location provides major opportunity for the project’s ability to strengthen and improve the transportation corridors of the Kansas City Crossroads District. Alongside this, the project establishes much-needed accessible housing in the crossroads district with an emphasis on the needs of the crossroad’s workforce. A third concern for the project was providing urban green space within the lacking district. The proportions of the project and its components were born through a comprehensive analysis of trends and solutions that look to maintain the viability of a capitalistic project while upholding values of livability, equitable housing, and sustainable solutions.

SUSTAINABLE DENSI T Y With a density of 896 du/acre, the project itself is nearly 3.5 times as dense as a typical New York building. This density contributes to the growth and viability of surrounding businesses, public transit efficiency, and the walk-ability of the surrounding urban floor. As tall housing projects tend to leave residents with a lack of access to nature and isolated, it was crucial to provide biophilic & communal spaces that enhance the living experience within the building.

MICRO UNITS: A PLACE F OR THE IN DIVIDUA L With the Micro units being 195 SF & operating as the core of the project, it was crucial the design was well refined. The units were developed in conjunction with Virtual Reality and 1:1 scale mock-up massings to fully comprehend the reality of living in a small space. The two Micro Unit typologies offer every convenience of typical apartments in a reduced footprint from having a full kitchen to being able to store your bike. Through the incorporation of built-in furniture, biophilic design, and the building’s abundant social and private amenities, the micro units offer a humbled yet sophisticated urban living experience.
CARDINAL RESPONSE & CONTE X TUA L IDE N TITY The southern screen and balconies on the project are important to establish the identity of the project and dictate how the building responds cardinally. Both elements looks to respect the surrounding context of the Crossroads District while connecting all components of the building into a single holistic aesthetic. These design moves consider orientation and alter the scale of the building to help escape the rigid repetition commonly seen in modular projects. The powerful framing of the north side, combined with its biophilic application on the south, presents a two-part story of economy & ecology for those who interact with the project in the urban realm. The enlivenment created by this housing development will establish an extremely powerful urban identity in the heart of the crossroads.

ECOLOGY ECOLOGY + COMMUNI T Y With very few green spaces located within the Crossroads, the project’s incorporated plantings and Green Alley provide a much needed biophilic element within the urban neighborhood. Carving the building on the southern side provides the opportunity for porches to take advantage of the solar orientation of the site. Stacking these elements every four floors helps create the intent of community gathering points, seasonal gardens, and visual vertical movement throughout the building. Acting as a centerpiece for groupings of residents, the porches present themselves so that everytime residents move vertically throughout the building or wait for the elevator, they are visually engaged with the gardens. It was important to consider local species that activate wildlife and make apparent the local ecologies not only in one moment, but throughout the year.
The considerations of this central biophilic element range from small gardens that allow residences to share food from simply providing a safe place for children to play in the rain.
