“Nature is synonymous with change and potential. Whatever seems fixed and immutable within our myopic human time-span, is still in flux over glacial eons because it’s free particles.” - Kengo Kuma The work of Kengo Kuma breaks the norm in sustainable solutions with one simple idea: sustainability for people. Sustainability in architecture often describes the effort to make clean, efficient, and lasting places, in which the environment is the targeted subject. While Kuma does target the environment in his designs, he also targets the wellbeing of the body, mind, and soul of the people. Kuma says: “The philosophy of my design is to use local materials that give us a sense of healing and ease. I am not interested in highrise buildings. To me, they are symbols of the 20th century where people needed to expand cities. I am interested in low-rise buildings that are close to the ground and made with local materials.” Kuma attacks the stress of city life, with its overstimulating technology and overwhelming infrastructure, by bringing light, natural materials, and plenty of vegetation to induce a strong sense of the place, local culture, and a sense of wellbeing. The abundant use of wood makes his projects more resilient, as he claims that wood is much easier to replace than an entire building made of concrete and steel. By studying spatial proportions, materiality, vegetation, and grounded cultural sensibilities, Kuma successfully brings mental healing and tranquility to his designs. This project targets a similar approach to sustainability, resilience, and wellbeing. The primary use of local timber over heavier materials such as concrete and steel promotes purity and cleanliness. The abundance of vegetation throughout the design creates an agrestal interconnection with the built environment. The permeability of the design stems from Kuma’s notion that a site should be preserved and promoted by architecture, not destroyed or overtaken by crude monstrosities. The building seeks a level of autonomy that Kuma associates with animals — to breathe, eat, and stay clean on its own, unencumbered by an excessive number of pipes, ducts, and cables.
SITE RESPONSE | 9
Kyoto exists as a well-preserved shrine to the past. Its strict regulations on the built environment have allowed the city to continue thriving in the same way that it has for over twelve hundred years. By regulating building heights, maintaining the modesty of storefronts, and banning bright, blinking advertisements, Kyoto has steered clear of the concrete jungle trend to which most other major cities have succumbed. The above site is a bus lot in southern Kyoto, serving visitors of the Kiyomizu-dera Temple to its east. The goal of the project was to redefine the bus lot and create a heritage center at its eastern corner. The center provides a venue for tourists to come and learn about Kyoto’s history and culture, as well as the upcoming temple. The building’s elevation provides excellent views of the city below, and the site gives easy access and direction to the temple road.
10 | STRATEGY
1. Elevated galleries follow site boundaries and slope
2. Public and administration space below
3. Segmented/stepped galleries + additional gallery and admin space
4. Exposed timber structure inspired by traditional Japanese architecture
5. Roof profile + terraced courtyard to reflect traditional Japanese architecture
STRUCTURE | 11
The structure is inspired by traditional Japanese architecture, which uses interlocking, hand-cut timber with such precise tolerances that no metal fasteners are required. This art form is still in practice today in Japanese construction; therefore, it provided a unique inspiration for this design. Additionally, the foundation is designed as a bowl, equipped with seismic dampers supporting the entire structure. This results in the building being completely isolated from the ground, allowing an appropriate range of motion in the midst of a seismic event.

RIVERVIEW
This project provides mixed-income housing, along with a residential and entertainment district, to this low-income area of Kansas City, Kansas. Located along 8th Street near Strawberry Hill, these three blocks currently host a few small parking lots and a bank that is no longer in business. The goal was to design a development that would be a positive asset to the community, serving the surrounding local businesses, and the residential district to the north. The ground floor of each building has open retail and entertainment spaces, activating the site for leisure and window shopping. The second and third floors house the residential units, designed for between one and six tenants. This, along with variable income units, invite families
of various sizes and backgrounds to reside in this development. Each residential floor has roof decks for residents, integrated with vegetation and seating. Next to each roof deck is an indoor common area, where residents can gather and host small events or mingle with their neighbors. The buildings’ appearance and design takes a modern approach, while still appealing to the existing context. Large extrusions on the north and south ends draw attention toward the new park and to the rest of the neighborhood. Small extrusions on the east and west facades visually connect the residential units with the streets. The alternating facade panels give a sense of repetition and human scale to the long elevation.

1. Establish permeability
3. Activate facade
2. Direct focus outward
4. Final design
PERMEABILITY | 25
A three-block development is a large area, so it was important to provide access throughout the site, allowing people to pass through the development without issues. The main ‘internal street,’ running north and south, cuts through all three blocks, allowing for easy retail access and window shopping, and continues through the park as a way to connect the development with the residential district to the north. Tunnels, running east and west, periodically cut through the buildings, connecting 8th Street to the alley on the west side.

32 | MATERIALS
MATERIALS | 33
Several community businesses and organizations donated an inventory of materials for the project. Almost all of these materials were recycled and milled down to suit our needs.
34 | STRUCTURE
The structure consists of twelve recycled telephone poles, forming an oculus to the sky. Each pole is tapered, and they all lean in towards each other to provide better solar protection.
STRUCTURE | 35
36 | MURAL
The shade is provided by over 500 metal shingles that we hand crafted out of recycled street signs. Each of these signs were carefully cut, curved, and finished to provide the look we wanted, and to ensure that they were not too reflective for nearby pedestrians, cars, and houses. The shingles are arranged by color and pattern to depict an image of a prairie fire sweeping across a plain, representing natural regrowth.

The ecologist has a much more comprehensive and holistic view of the world. We’re looking at the natural environment as well as the human built environment and the connectivity between the two - how do the natural environment and the humanbuilt environment interact and interface with each other. - Ken Yeang
Ken Yeang is a Malaysian architect who is known for his ecological architecture and master plans. His architecture explores how to incorporate natural habitats into the constructed world. By studying local plants and wildlife, Yeang uses various strategies to link his designs to their surrounding life and create extensions of their ecosystems. One of these strategies involves using vegetation in such a way that it cooperates with mechanical systems for cheaper and cleaner energy solutions. This museum uses similar strategies to inform people about causes, effects, and solutions of air pollution and demonstrate how to build for air sustainability through the design of the museum itself. The building is placed above Highway 366, adjacent to Klyde Warren Park in the Arts District of Dallas, Texas. The museum takes advantage of its location above a highway by using a combination of natural and mechanical
filtration to clean the dirty air given off by the vehicles below. This system not only provides clean air for the entire building, but also serves as the primary “exhibit” of the museum. Because of this unusual location, an unconventional structure is designed to support the seemingly floating ‘tower-like’ building. An exoskeleton steel structure with three primary structural columns holds the building on three corners, with the fourth corner suspended in air, accentuating the floating presence of the museum. The site conditions also demand an innovative spatial programming and vertical circulation. Five galleries sit atop of the museum while lower levels accommodate non-public spaces. The ground level is an accessible public space to act as a continuation of Klyde Warren Park. At the heart of the Dallas Arts District, this design adds another urban landmark that activates the proposed Art Walk along Pearl Street and punctuates the eastern end of the park.

BLACK JACK VISITOR CENTER LOCATION: WELLSVILLE, KANSAS TYPE: VISITOR CENTER + GALLERY DATE: FALL 2017

58 | MANIFESTO
The Battle of Black Jack took place on June 2, 1856, as a part of “Bleeding Kansas,” when John Brown and his army attacked a confederate encampment near Baldwin, Kansas. Many historians believe that this is the battle that sparked the American Civil War. The battlefield now is nothing more than some open land with a small historic house. The goal of this project was to design a gallery space
to attract more visitors to the site; a place to learn about the history of the battle and the war that followed. The site chosen is adjacent to the battlefield, on a small hill overlooking the historic grounds. The small program features a gallery at the front of the site, elevated for an optimal view of the battlefield. A classroom, gift shop, and other spaces such as offices and mechanical spaces are set behind the main gallery.
