Design Communication Media | 2nd Year | MAY 2011
Studio | 4th year |Dec. 2012 Collaboration : Kaylee Ross
Working with fellow architecture student, Kaylee Ross, this project was designed to focus on the frequent users of a Charleston, SC harbor where the use and utilization of the location is often overlooked. The project guidelines were adopted from a national competition held by The American Institute of Architects Historic Resources Committee and Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. In an effort to balance the large volume of work, Kaylee produced ďŹ nal 3D renderings from the detailed welcome pavilion design and physical models which I was responsible for creating. Design - All structures built are placed above the land form and water to prevent additional disturbance to the native habitat. The boardwalk winding along the length of the island, starting near Castle Pinckney and ending over the water, exhibit several types of ecosystems vital to the survival of the island and its habitat. Instead of allowing direct access to the land, the design includes several lower nodes allowing visitors to explore up-close without endangering the site ecosystem.

|Water Collection|
|Composting Waste|
The structures on site are designed to be self-sustaining by use of “green” technology. The roof of the welcome pavilion funnels water collected to an enclosed basin in the utility room. Spheral solar panels are used as shading devices along the board walk and allow for maximum sun intake throughout more hours of the day than traditional solar panels. The EthoEthic waterless toilet included in the design is a self-sustaining compost toilet which uses minimal electricity for mixing and disposal. |Railing Detail|

STUDIO | 1st Year | DEC. 2009 Designed between two existing buildings in a suburban college town, the Caffè focuses on accommodating both the pedestrian and vehicular user. The natural plant life and grade level change creates a sound and visual barrier providing pedestrians with a safer and more comfortable environment. In this design, being our first year and first building oriented project, there was a high emphasis placed on site analysis and development. Both areas were brought to a smaller scale by the incorporation of an trellis system. Overall the space was designed to remove the user from the pull of everyday life in Muncie IN. |Site Elevation|

Design Communication Media | 2nd Year | NOV. 2010 As a non-structural column, this design was focused around creating an artistic element of light within the display space. Interior coils act as luminaries while the exterior ones provide protection and screen an individuals direct sight at varying angles. The entire form takes shape through an array of smaller elements connecting in various manners to produce varying densities and transparency. Both the smaller minor elements and major elements reect upon each other through manners and materials providing both similarities while remaining unique.

Interactions of varying form and possible connections were created with clay and 3D modeling was completed in Rhino.
Array was created to mimic the form of the minor element. Differing directions and sizes used for dimensional effect.
Placement of smaller column within the larger and choice of materials created a element providing light yet solid appearance.

Design Communication Media & Studio | 2nd Year | MAY 2011 This project was designed across two second year curriculum classes. Originally designed in studio the project was refined further in the design communication media class. Many modifications and clarifications were made over the life span of this project. Designed to be a recreational destination for the community, this project was located in a park along the White River in Muncie, Indiana. It is a multi-use project with spaces for boat rentals, storage, retail and office space. Designed in and for the community as its sole user, the project board was drawn in micron on velum with marker on the back and additional color pencil detailing on the front.

Studio | 3rd Year | Feb. 2012 One of the worst natural disasters that we have in the United States and that almost no structure can withstand is a wildfire. Burning hotter than structure fires and at a accelerated rate, wildfires spread and destroy everything that is in their path. In this project we were limited in purpose and the materials that we were to use to create a safe “hideout” for those who are fighting these natural disasters. This design uses two different size Boeing 747 fuselage sections, small enough to be transported on a highway, set in one another to create a healthy safe environment for those that may be in need.

Building Tech. | 3rd Year | Apr. 2012 Collaboration : Rachel Martinelli
The main focus of this project was to design a cabin for Camp Lakeview in Seymour, IN. The project included all necessary elements of a professional practice including a set of working drawings. During the course of this design there were several obstacles to overcome including site limitations and adherence to current building codes.

How would the water be diverted from the buildings edge? What would be done with the slope of the existing terrain? These were all design elements that were all addressed by design partners. Each group then took their designs and produced several rough drawings, attended critiques and made necessary adjustment and additions. Several other drawings also were created such as elevations, sections and structural details.

Summer Internship | The Kubala Washatko Architects |2010-2012 The Kubala Washatko Architects, Inc. is a holistic architecture ďŹ rm based in historic Cedarburg, WI. For three consecutive summers I was allowed the privilege of an internship with TKWA to work on the design and production of a community project, the Cedar Creek Walkway. The ďŹ rst summer of production focused on the development and testing of accuracy of city site plans and the addition and adjustment of new and renovated structures near and along the creek and walkway. From the revised site plan the 3D model of the entire downtown area surrounding the project began to evolve. The pictured historic mill and Columbia Rd. bridge were the ďŹ rst of the surrounding structures to be validated and modeled. Eventually the 2012 summer design work focused on creating a complete design proposal for the middle section of the walkway. The large image to the right is an image presented to the community and common council of a sample space. This space which preserves the surrounding nature and habitat promotes ease of access and picnicking/ grilling. The complete design includes several types of spaces focusing on a variety of users, promoting use of the spaces while maintaining an environment that is consistent with the traditional look and feel of the surrounding historical community. The ideas of sustainability/green design and historic preservation are a natural extension of wholenessbased thinking and are integrated into every studio project at TKWA

Collaboration : Justin Seyfert - Austin Pontius - Bryan Beerman - Phil Adler
Third year studio was a year to choose sections depending on the type of project that you wished to participate in. Ball State University was putting together a project team to enter into the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition. The project started off with groups of four designing a modular concept house. The rendering on this page represents the design that my group created. Our design was based off of the concept of creating affordable housing that could be used as quick response to natural disasters and used in the future as permanent housing. Following team presentations, the remainder of the semester work focused on individual projects. Pages 14 thru 16 are portions of my representative individual work.

Section A
After the team was divided into individual groups many of our original design concepts were incorporated into the individual projects. Modularity, quick deployment and sustainable design elements remained a common thread and a key element of the design. During this part of the project we teamed with construction management students who reviewed our projects, tested feasibility and estimated the cost and energy information of our design. Cost estimates for our design were provided by construction management student Phil Adler. My design focused on providing the users with an open concept design, with each space serving multiple purposes. The separation between modules provided both public and private areas to the house.

|Sunlight Study|
Studies of “day lighting” provided details on the efficiency of overhead trellis systems. This structures electricity was sourced from six Solyndra solar tube systems which provided dual benefits by also providing shade to the interior spaces. This project is still in continuation and will be part of the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathalon. I am a current participant in this project for team Kentuckiana.
