Italian Study Abroad 2015 | January - May In January 2015 I studied abroad in Orvieto, Italy for four months. The program was led by K-State faculty in conjunction with Centro Studi Citta in Orvieto. Coursework consisted of history of art and culture, Italian language, an architecture seminar, and studio. Field trips were arranged every Friday and paralleled with each week’s lectures.
06
Studying abroad not only provided me with the experience of learning first hand from buildings that have shaped the history of architecture but it also exposed me to a different culture. One of the biggest lessons I learned from the Italians is how important it is to slow down and enjoy what surrounds you. I also appreciate the craft and care that Italians put into their products.

Trattoria del Jazz Study Abroad – Orvieto, Italy Located in Orvieto Italy, Trattoria del Jazz is an eatery that celebrates art in a variety of forms. The concept and inspiration was derived from the space’s current use as an artist’s studio. The restaurant places an emphasis on presentation and the creative process of cooking. The menu consists of traditional Italian food presented in an artful manner. Transparency between the kitchen and dining room allows guests to witness the mastery of the chefs at work. Art is also reflected in the paintings displayed throughout. The flexibility of the furniture allows for a stage to be placed up front for musicians to perform at.
Programs Used: Sketch-up, hand rendering

Cadence Retail and Restaurant This is a restaurant and retail space located in San Francisco, CA. The store sells athletic apparel and equipment specifically geared toward runners. The building is nearly 6500 square feet and contains a mezzanine level, where the café is located. The main feature connecting the restaurant and retail space is a smoothie bar, which is wrapped by a grand staircase. The conceptual design for the project is derived from an athletic shoe, particularly a running shoe. The essence of the space reflects the makeup of the shoe through the use of structures that wrap and enclose. Organic contour’s, fluid forms, and the use of the ‘C’ shape are used throughout to define spaces and create elements.

The concept for this project was a museum. Museums provide an opportunity for people to increase their knowledge on a subject through a sequential experience. They also present information in a variety of ways in order to enlighten visitors. The act of enlightening can be translated to removing darkness. The idea of moving from the dark to light represents the progression of learning and gaining knowledge. As one moves through the space, it begins to open up and become brighter, symbolizing the acquisition of knowledge. Throughout the space there are a number of display areas for student work, faculty research, and announcements. This informs the general public on the projects going on in the college.

S.A.V.E. – Wellness Center The Soldier Agricultural Vocation Education or S.A.V.E. program is a rehabilitation facility for wounded soldiers returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The program is a yearlong training process that will service both the soldiers and their families. The College of Architecture at Kansas State played an influential role in helping master plan the site, and in designing each of the buildings on the campus. The wellness center is a 19,800 square foot building that is designed to restore the soldier’s sense of purpose through healing of the mind and body. The wellness center contains a mental health clinic, physical and occupational therapy, and a rec center. However, this project focuses only on the physical healing spaces. The concept for the building is growth. The building utilizes various architectural features to reveal the spaces beyond. This transparency is meant to increase awareness and reduce the stigma that can come with receiving some of the therapies.

Challenge The balance of privacy was a major factor in the design. The concept seeks to unfold the growth process; therefore, reveals are needed. However, there are situations where privacy is needed, as the users could be in a venerable state.

Greet Credenza Greet is an entryway credenza that stands thirty-six inches tall and forty-one inches wide. The proportions were derived from a 1’x1’x’1 cube. The thickness of each walnut panel establishes a hierarchy. The piece is characterized by the exposed dovetail joints. The joints not only add a level of detail but they also allude to the construction method of the piece. Each joint was created on a CNC router and designed to taper. The tapering allows each panel to be set and taken apart easily and be constructed without any additional hardware or supports.

OFS Brands Overbed Table This project is currently a partnership with OFS brands to develop a new design of the overbed table. The project showcases an understanding of designing on contract level. The course utilizes evidence based design through research of the users, market, settings, materials, and production process. The overbed table is an overlooked item that has been around for years. Many issues reside with it regarding its mobility, cleanability and user-accessibility. This project seeks to create an intuitive, sleek form that challenges the current design and appeals to all users.

Culminating Master’s Project- Workplace Design As companies become more aware of the mental and physical health issues residing in the workplace they are seeking ways to improve wellbeing. The design of the office can be one of the ways health is addressed at work. Health in the workplace is defined as a physical and psychological state that promotes productivity, activity, and fulfillment. Through research, a collection of design strategies will be developed that promote physical and mental wellbeing. Each strategy will be presented in a kit of parts that can be implemented independently as needed. Taking from this kit of parts, strategies will be used to redesign Meer’s Advertising agency. This firm in Kansas City, MO will be the model for improving health in the workplace.
