Repose a study of stone & steel fabrication | in collaboration with Ryan Walker 5th Year Studio Repose explores the usefulness of the canopy as a system that can control daylight while simultaneously creating a unique and purposeful space underneath it. The stone is secured in such a way that it appears to simply rest on a steel ledge, hovering above the space that it defines. Users beneath it are encouraged to rest in its shade and look above and appreciate its seeming weightlessness. While supported by the steel ledge, the stone is also hung from above, which helps it to effectively distribute the weightiness of the dense material to an exterior frame and ultimately to the building’s primary structure. Structurally dense and visually airy, Repose creates a unique space beneath it that would add greatly to a variety of sites. Mindful of the ease of installation and disassembly, Repose allows the stone to be removed from the frame, and the frame to then be removed from a structural base. Such ease of deconstruction and assembly is crucial to its use as a “mobile” canopy, allowing it to be moved and re-installed in new locations. Ultimately, when integrated into a larger system, this module has the potential to significantly filter daylight and create a unique pattern of light as it passes through its airy, seemingly weightless grid. Through the juxtaposition of the typical notions of these materials, stone is removed from its usual role of support, and is instead allowed to explore a more active role, reinvented.

Design Delano strengthening the identity of the burgeoning art culture of Delano | Wichita, Kansas 5th Year Studio Wichita has a rich history built off the innovation and ingenuity of the industry in the city. From its modest beginnings as a Cowtown and pitstop along the Chisholm Trail, the city grew into an industrial powerhouse in the 20th century by hosting notable industrial development and a slew of new businesses including Koch Industries, Cessna Aircrafts and a variety of successful restaurant chains. Despite the city’s history of industrial success, its skyline lacks the sense of character that the city has cultivated through the decades. The catering of development to automobiles rather than people has caused the city’s streetscape to stagnate, as the once-dense downtown of the city has slowly become a disjointed set of buildings separated by a plethora of empty parking lots. Despite recent efforts to revitalize the city’s downtown area, there is still a clear lack of ‘place’ that unifies the central business district. With an ideal site and program, Design Delano aims to serve as a catalyst for the continued growth and revitalization of Wichita by reinforcing the city’s identity as a hub of creation and innovation.

Site Our site sits within the Delano District, which was historically an important part of the Chisholm Trail. It was once a place where cowboys would go to blow off steam after long days and cattle drives. As the city of Wichita began to grow, Delano found its role change into that of a shopping district that sits just outside of the downtown proper. In the last decade, the Delano District has seen a tremendous influx of development to cultivate a stronger culture of arts, food, and entertainment in Wichita. The idea is that through thoughtful planning and development, Delano will become a cultural hub of arts for the city and region. Our site sits among a flurry of new development on the eastern edge of the district, sitting on a triangular block between Douglas Ave, McLean Blvd, and Sycamore St. This development includes a variety of retail and dining locations to the west of our site along with several apartment complexes to the east and west. A ballpark village and stadium are currently under construction to the south of our site across Douglas Avenue. Despite the large amount of development around Delano, our site sits as a relatively empty paved block consisting of several unused lots. The two buildings currently on the site are an ARC Document Solutions and a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement Facility. There are also plans for a new hotel which will be located just north of our site. The increasing density of this new development will be countered by a pedestrian walk, following the footprint of Wichita’s derelict rail line, that will better connect Delano to downtown Wichita. With all of this in mind, the goal of Design Delano is to build place and emphasize a story that is in line with Wichita’s identity of creation and innovation

Program Throughout the last decade, a concerted effort has been made by the city of Wichita to cultivate a stronger culture of arts, food, and entertainment in the Delano District. This newfound focus has spurred a plethora of new development around our site. Despite these efforts to revitalize the area, there is still a clear lack of a ‘place’ that unifies the district. New developments are hastily springing up, yet they are disconnected like islands in a sea of pavement. There is not yet a sense of wholeness that is tying together Delano. Our site sits on the eastern edge of the Delano district, having a major presence on the street fronts of Douglas Ave, McLean Blvd, and Sycamore St. Being within walking distance of downtown and located directly north of the future ballpark village, our site sits in a prime location to knit together the district in the form of a public space for people to gather, work and play. The site also sits within
the path of a proposed pedestrian walk that follows what was once Wichita’s derelict rail line. With the introduction of new, high quality public space and community programs, Delano’s urban fabric will be activated on a more permanent basis while bringing the district together as a more unified whole. Lost in the current push for a revitalized Delano is an effort to strengthen the district’s art culture. While there are currently several gallery spaces scattered throughout Delano and downtown, there is not yet a place in Wichita for artists, independent and corporate alike, to create, collaborate, and display their work. With the introduction of an incubator to our site, focused on the generation and demonstration of the arts, Delano will take another step forward into becoming the vibrant community that they aspire to be, and will become an arts district in earnest.

Piazzale Giuseppe Cimicchi Pavilion a cittaslow pavilion for the city of Orvieto, Italy | in collaboration with Grant Urban 4th Year Study Abroad Studio Sited on a cliffside overlook of the Italian landscape, Piazzale Giuseppe Cimicchi is currently used primarily as a parking lot and bus stop, not at all taking advantage of its views or its prime location as the trailhead to the local Etruscan tombs. The challenge of our studio was to find a design a structure that would fit seamlessly into Orvieto’s historic context and promote the forward-thinking ideals of the Cittaslow Movement. This design of a contemporary, sustainable pavilion at the trailhead of the Etruscan tombs promotes the reclamation of the existing public piazza, improves public health and well-being, and supports social cohesion and cultural identity. Further engaging the cliffside, the ampitheater seating creates a gathering space for locals and visitors alike to marvel at the beautiful Italian landscape.

Manhattan Monastery a religious sanctuary in the suburbs | Manhattan, KS 4th Year Studio The challenge of this project involves bringing a typically-private program to the public realm of Manhattan, Kansas. Those who inhabit this monastery are striving for a deeper and more direct dialogue with God. Escaping the cacophony of distractions in the surrounding neighborhood is a key first step to finding a quiet and peaceful place where that dialogue can become possible. Cistercian monks follow a strictly regimented schedule that requires them to spend large quantities of time working and collaborating within the complex. This facility will cater directly to their necessities for both collaborative work environments as well as quiet, isolated cells where they can spend more intimate time studying and worshipping. The hope is that through inhabiting a solemn, pensive environment, these monks can further their understanding and relationship of God.

Religion is not a fractional thing that can be doled out in fixed weekly or daily measures as one among various subjects in the school syllabus. It is the truth of our complete being, the conciousness of our personal relationship with the infinite; it is the true center of gravity of our life. This, we can attain during our childhood by daily living in a place where the truth of the spiritual world is not obscured by a crowd of necessities assuming artificial importance; where life is simple, surrounded by fullness of leisure, by ample space and pure air and profound peace of nature; and where men live with a perfect faith in the eternal life before them.” – Rabindranath Tagore
