Downer Woods Residence Hall 3rd Year Studio - Masonry Studio Location: 3423 N. Downer Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53211 Type: Residential Date: December 2016
Downer Woods is an underutilized amenity on the UW-Milwaukee campus. The purpose of this project is to create a sense of place for new incoming students, while also engaging the woods, campus, and surrounding neighborhood. This residence hall provides access to the woods by a separation of masses in order to serve as a gateway into the woods. The building encloses a large courtyard. The courtyard serves as a place for the residence of the building, as well as the rest of campus. The courtyard is elevated to Downer Avenue allowing for a continuous flow from the woods to the campus. The exterior of the building is created through large gridded elements. The grid is created from large apertures, which give each interior room a large window. In order to mitigate light exposure, each window is recessed into the faรงade, while a series of louvered solar shading provides additional solar protection. Located on each floor is a series of amenities that provide the students access to laundry, kitchen, lounges, etc. These amenities are articulated on the faรงade by a large, intrusive aluminum frame that breaks the gridded pattern with large spandrel glazing. The building heights step downwards to accommodate the elevation change of the campus into the surrounding neighborhood. 4

Circulation/ Traffic The mass becomes receptive to the surrounding traffic flows, while also supprting new flows of circulation.
“Gateway” This building will act as the “gateway” between UWM’s campus and the Downer Woods to the north.
Split Downer Ave Level Floor Plan
The building massing splits in order to provide access through the site.
Extruded Masses The two rectalinear masses are extruded on the site in response to the circulation and throughway required.
Push / Pull The masses change elevations as a response to the change of building types from the campus to the surounding neighborhood.
Final Building Masses The final building masses respond to all surrounding influences and programatic necessities.

Fractured - Urban Cemetery 2nd Year Studio - Arch 320 Location: 339 W Freshwater Way, Milwaukee, WI 53211 Type: Urban Design Date: May 2016 Fractured is an urban cemetery located in the midst of metropolitan Milwaukee. Being a typically gloomy program, this project attempts to rethink the methods of traditional funerals and memorial spaces. Fractured, is a series of wooden decks derived from its surrounding context. The decking platforms change in elevation as one progresses through the site. This may symbolize one’s own changing experiences throughout their life. These decks are places for people to enjoy the views of the adjacent downtown Milwaukee, but relax in a calm and tranquil environment .The decks are wrapped in a series of marble walls that house the remaining contents of an individual. With an increase in the amount of cremations, it was time to rethink the way in which people reflect and mourn. Individuals are given their own tile upon a much larger mosaic tile patternting, as opposed to a traditional grave and casket. These walls allow for a more private, intimate experience for the living viewers, while also providing more space for a growing population. All of these elements create a new, respectful way to mourn, while battling limited infrastructure within the urban fabric of Milwaukee.

Taliesin Field Work (HABS) 3rd Year - Arch 561 Location: 5481 County Rd C, Spring Green, WI 53588 Type: Field Work / Measured Drawings Date: August 2016 Group: Melissa Rodriguez, Jarincy Rodriguez, Maria Tigreros, Alessandra Maurtua, Alex Giesler, Denise Zahran, David Katz
Since 1995, UW-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning has sent 10 students every summer to Taliesin, the home of Frank Lloyd Wright. This is a project for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), which seeks to create as-built drawings of historical buildings across America. SARUP students travel to Taliesin for 3 weeks during the summer to create as-built drawings of Taliesin. The students become immersed in the lifestyle of Taliesin by following chore schedules, conversing, auditing graduate level architecture courses, and becoming very familiar with the grounds of Taliesin and its inhabitants. Each group is tasked with a new location of the building to draft. Given the opportunity to work with proper surveying equipment, our team spent time measuring, sketching, and documenting the building in order to produce a hand drawn-section. The team was given an drafting table in the studio at the Hilltop School. From there, the team drafted the measured section. In order to complete the project, we had to ink the drawing on Mylar. Once the entire document is finished, HABS will then send the entire collection to the Library of Congress to be preserved as historical documentation. 18

Jareth Dome: Art Installation 2nd Year Studio - Arch 320 Location: Chicago Art Department - Chicago, IL, 60608 Type: Design / Build Installation Date: April 2016 Group: Alex Giesler, Brook Boughton, Caroline Schlosser, Brdget Owen, Andres Santos
As a studio, we were tasked with creating an installation, entirely from phonebook paper. We were asked to think of ways that paper could be manipulated to fabricate an object that would create an experience for its viewer. The dome started as a singular sheet folded into a modular piece, and replicated a few thousand times. The module was then stacked and arranged into 2 types of triangles, isosceles and equilateral. The completed triangles were then used to form pentagonal and hexagonal panels. These panels were then assembled to form an inhabitable, geodesic dome. The module that the dome was created from allowed for a flexible structure. The dome was painted black on the exterior and gold on the interior, creating two very unique experiences throughout. The dome was suspended from the ceiling, which was then attached at calculated tension points. This project was asked to be installed at the Chicago Art Department for their ‘Crystal Ball Fundraiser’. The project was installed in one day and successfully greeted the audience for the event. The viewers were able to crawl inside and interact within the space. 24

Urban Shift: Master Plan 3rd Year Studio - Arch 420 Location: Chicago, IL, 60616 Type: Master Plan Redevelopment Date: March 2017 Group: Johnny Lin, Caroline Schlosser, Bridget Owen
This project asked to create a redevelopment plan for the Michael Reese Site, located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, IL. This site currently resides as a vacant lot with an active railway intersecting it. The project’s purpose was to develop a master plan for the site that would create an exciting new place in the city of Chicago. Urban shift relates to a conversation of shifted orientations of the city’s fabric in relationship to the existing and geographical context. This plan proposed that the continuation of the existing fabric would shape the site. The site carries the existing context through the site and then shifts its orientation towards Lake Michigan. The site proposed new areas for commercial, retail, residential, and education. The purpose was to create a mixture of programs that would allow for a wide array of uses. The challenges of this site was how to connect the intersected site across an active railroad. The solution being pedestrian pathways, acting as a part of the landscape, that elevate themselves over the railway. This site attempts to create an exciting and refreshing area within the city of Chicago.

Chicago Analysis The city of Chicago is a city with a diverse history and incredibly important architecture. To better understand the city we looked at the city by analyzing different fabrics throughout. We mapped the streets and their intersections. We used these maps to understand the way different fabrics interact and look within their surrounding context. These maps also helped understand the relationship of the different fabrics in relationship to another by looking at street sizes, block sizes, orientation, and shape of block. To further our understanding the site, we analyzed adjacencies of the site. The maps also map walking distances to the adjacent sites in relationship to our site. These maps help gain a better understanding for the site and its relationship to Chicago as a whole.
