Background: I am currently a senior architecture major at Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning. I have had a lifelong interest in buildings and how things are put together, and strive to understand buildings from the big idea down to the finest details. I enjoy the design process and take pride in completing my work to a high level of resolution. I have lived in Ohio all my life and look forward to a career in Architecture, wherever it may take me.

Regenerative Laboratory, US Virgin Islands, Arch 401, Fall 2011, Prof: Olon Dotson The 2011 Cripe Competition asked students to design a sustainable laboratory near salt river bay in the US Virgin Islands, and to focus on a specific area of scientific study. I chose coral reefs because they are the most active marine ecosystems in the world, and the recent negative human impact on them is profound. If humanity can find a way to quickly regenerate coral reefs, without upsetting existing reefs, the benefits will be huge. The program calls for laboratory and residential space for 40-50 scientists, permanent and temporary, as well as a community outreach center for visitors. We had seven weeks to complete this project.

Proposal:
An existing bay, void of coral, becomes a laboratory where scientists experiment with methods for humans to regenerate coral reefs within the local environment. Estuaries are formed to control the flow of freshwater runoff into the saltwater bay. the earth from the estuaries is used to shape a ridge within the bay, which imitates coastal ridges where reefs naturally form. The coral is studied from floating pontoon labs that ‘plug in’ to larger labs.

The entire facility consistis of a series of small buildings on the fringe of the laboratory bay. people are expected to spend the majority of their time outdoors, hence the emphasis on outdoor spaces. Floating paths, which open and close, connect parts of the facility and follow the coral ridge. The floating labs (above) dock underneath larger stationary labs by night.

The primary construction method throughout the facility is the wattle and daub method, common to the island. Recycled materials are used in an environmentally sensitive way. the residences are small and open air. greywater, used in the washrooms, is collected from the roof, then treated in natural wetlands (above). Power is obtained through PV panels on the roofs of each building.

(Group Project): Transit Oriented Development, Atlanta Georgia, ARCH 401, Fall 2011, Prof: Olon Dotson This project was part of the NOMAS competition for the fall of 2011. It was a group project in which all 16 members of our studio section participated. I was one of three students selected by my peers to travel to Atlanta on October 22 to present the project. The program called for the Ashby St. metro station, within a distressed Atlanta neighborhood, to be redesigned with a grocery, visitor center, retail space, and parking for over 500 cars. The project is also meant to combat the trend in America towards suburbanization and encourage people to move back to inner city neighborhoods. We had eight weeks to complete this project.
10
To resurrect the distressed neighborhood, we prioritized the creation of a new community core centered around the MARTA line. Much as the unique aspects of a quilt are united by a common thread, the unique aspects of the community are united by this common MARTA line. The massing on the site is designed specifically to emphasize this line and to create a central space where locals and visitors alike may shop, farm, or just socialize. The roofs of the buildings are all accessible to the public and facilitate urban farming and rainwater collection. On site parking is all underground to maintain a green landscape

Julia Carson Community Center, Arch 302, Spring 2011, Prof: Timothy Gray, awarded honorable mention The Gresham Smith competition in Spring of 2011 asked students to design the Julia Carson Community Center just north of downtown Indianapolis. The primary mission of the center is to provide support for the success of local families, youth, and seniors. In addition, the center must also be the defining landmark of a neighborhood currently searching for its identity. The program calls for two major components: the Legacy of Love foundation, which provides supportive services and education for local families, and the health and wellness center, which includes a gymnasium. Above all, the center must be a safe place for people of all ages to visit. We had seven Weeks to complete this Project.
12
At the south end of the center (left) next to busy Fall Creek Parkway, the roof of the gymnasium stands as a landmark to passers by. The north end of the center, facing most of the neighborhood, is a much more contextual scale and includes plots for community gardens (right). In between, joining the two major components, is the highly transparant lobby space, an intentionally high traffic zone where neighbors are bound to meet and interact.

There is a great emphasis on green design throughout the center. The massive sloping roofs collect rainwater for use in the community gardens as well as solar energy. The center consists of a series of mostly long thin buildings, maximizing the benefits of daylight and natural ventilation. The distinction between the south side of the complex, facing the city, and the north side, facing the neighborhood, is clear in the massing.

Broad Ripple Eco Hotel, Arch 302, Spring 2011, Prof: Timothy Gray This is a real life project currently in the works by our studio professor from spring 2011. the project called for a high end hotel in the Broad Ripple district of Indianapolis. The primary objectives are to provide a sensitive connection to the Broad Ripple community and Monon trail, be as friendly to the environment as possible, and provide a unique and enjoyable experience for visitors. The program called for 21-25 rooms, each with their own private balcony, a parking spot for every room, and handicapped accessiblity, The site is three residential lots that currently have houses on them. We had seven weeks to complete this project.

Passive systems dictate the thin building profile (left) and layout. All shared spaces of the hotel feature ample daylighting, direct solar heat gain in the winter months (above right), but not summer (right). passive cooling is achieved by ventilation up through the permeable hallways and through the thermal chimney (Left). design development

The south facade of the hotel is ideal for solar heat gain in the winter, but shading in the summer. To the right are the components of the facade and hallway. The hotel parking is all on the shaded north side of the hotel. On the sunny south side, a nook garden draws people in off the Monon trail. The Hotel’s entrance faces the Monon trail with its pedestrian traffic rather than the road with its automobile traffic.

Green Workforce Training Center, Arch 301, Fall 2010, Prof: Bob Koester With the growing emphasis on sustainable design, and the need for job creation. this project calls for a training center in Brooklyn NY. The site is a massive vacant lot at the Port Authority, just south of Manhatten. The program called for classroom, workshop, and office space for perhaps hundreds of users. as its purpose suggests, the building must be environmentally sensitive, which led to the thermal chimney at the top of the atrium (first diagram right). There is no parking requirement, and alternative transportation is encouraged. This was a semester long project.

The four story atrium (left) with the thermal chimney allows daylight to penetrate deep into the building. It also causes the center to act as two thin buildings, more easily ventilated. Light shelves (right) on the south side both shade from solar heat gain and reflect daylight deeper into the interior spaces. On both the interior and exterior are spaces that allow respite from training. At bottom right, a small seperate structure is for bike parking.

ICMA Competition, Sustainable Practice Center, Arch 202, Spring 2010, Prof: Dan Woodfin The ICMA competition for the spring of 2010 called for a center for education and experimentation of sustainable design. It is a place where school groups and scientists alike could visit to learn, hands on, about the latest technologies and methods for green design. Concrete masonry is to be the primary construction material. The major building components are two multi-story modules open on both the north and south sides. The site is just northwest of downtown Indianapolis and the design must engage the adjacent canal. We had six weeks to complete this project.
28
Instead of a single large building, the facility is spread out. a series of small buildings connected through pergolas, define outdoor spaces of many scales, and open buildings to daylighting and natural ventilation.

A trombe wall (left) is featured on the south sides of most buildings on the site. The transition (below) from the city streets to the center is profound. With plentiful green space (right), the center is intended as quiet refuge from the busy streets. Although mostly inward looking, the center presents both a friendly edge and scale to the neighboring historic landmarks Foundation.

Beach House, Arch 202, Spring 2010, Prof: Dan Woodfin The Project calls for a permanent camping structure for a family of two parents and two same sex children. The site is the carolina coast within the dense undergrowth. The model must accurately represent simple woodframe construction with 1/4”, 1/8”, and 1/16” basswood pieces and 1/4” dowel rods representing 2x12, 2x8, and 2x4 dimensional lumber and foot thick poles. For ventilation, all living spaces must be above the undergrowth, between 22 and 44 feet high (height of poles). Any design must accomodate spatial needs and bedroom privacy requirements. We had five weeks to complete this project.
